Recently, Jean Perron even suggested that he could resign by Christmas 2024, a statement that did not fail to provoke a reaction.
On CHOI Radio X in Quebec City, he said he was "convinced" that St. Louis would give up his position to Pascal Vincent. Of course, these statements have taken on a disproportionate scale, and it is difficult to understand why such skepticism exists around the coach.
Personally, I don't believe it. I think Martin St. Louis likes the challenge he has ahead of him and he's aware that his team is still rebuilding.
Yes, the team had a disappointing start to the season, but that doesn't justify an avalanche of criticism. I repeat: THE TEAM IS STILL REBUILDING.
What amazes me is how quickly some pundits go further than necessary, trying to make him a scapegoat.
Instead of focusing on the realities of the team and the challenges inherent in the ongoing rebuild, they prefer to blame the coach. But that's always been the case in Montreal.
In reality, it's important to remember that the Canadiens' current roster is not comparable to that of the strongest teams in the NHL.
Furthermore, many sources claim that Martin St. Louis thrives on criticism and that it pushes him to surpass himself.
Why then feed this spiral of doubts that only harms the trust and unity around the group?
It is high time to let Martin St. Louis work and prove his worth.
