Controversial decision by the Montreal Canadiens: Everyone on leave
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.
In the past, after a poor performance, players expected difficult training sessions. In 2024, light training the next day and the day after that, time off.
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 ...
I understand that the risk of injury is real, but a more serious training session could also wake up the players a little and encourage them to redouble their efforts.
What clan are you in? Some believe that discipline must be maintained, while others find it to be a modern decision.

Finally, this raises an important question: do punitive trainings still have a place in 2024? For Patrick Roy, with the Islanders, the answer is yes.
Remember that the CH will receive a visit from the St. Louis Blues this Saturday, live from the Bell Centre without their number one center.The team has a record of 4-3 this season, good for 5th place in the Central division.
