After a disappointing performance Tuesday evening at the Bell Centre, where the team was conspicuous by its absence, with the presence of many Canadian legends in the amphitheater, the organization of the Tricolore has decided to give all players a day off today.

Yes, OK, it's important that they are on leave, but let's just say the timing of the decision is a little weird. Martin St. Louis could have taken advantage of this opportunity to organize intensive training.

The team has a game scheduled for Saturday, which allows time to get back on its feet, although ...
