Martin St-Louis loses his cool at Montreal Canadiens training and things get heated
The Canadiens are on a bad streak of three straight losses and clearly Martin St-Louis is trying by all means to wake up his players.
It must be said that the players themselves seem ready to invest, while four defensemen (Lane Hutson, Justin Barron, Jayden Struble, Arber Xhekaj) were on the ice 90 minutes before practice, which is very revealing.
When practice started with all the players, it didn't take five minutes before the coach stopped everything and he raised the tone. We can see another side of Martin St-Louis' character.
This is a very good thing. Martin has been protecting his players non-stop for almost three years and now he has to shake them up, like any coach must do at one point or another.
If the Canadiens want to get their heads out of the sand, they have to work harder, it's as simple as that. There are no big stars and the team is very young, the 2nd youngest in the NHL.
Mistakes are numerous and will continue to be, but it is imperative that the effort be there at all times. Moreover, the coach has put in the effort himself with the players.
We can clearly see him putting pressure on his players. As the message says, "when it comes from the coach, it sends a message" and it's so true!
How can you not be motivated after that? It's impossible not to give 110%. Martin has therefore taken the bull by the horns and it's very clear that he wants his players to wake up.
