As usual, after last night's game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Vancouver Canucks, head coach Martin St-Louis appeared before reporters to answer questions.
After the great win against the Canucks, St-Louis commented on the performances of Mike Hoffman, Brendan Gallagher and David Savard (and it was obviously very positive).
However, one of the highlights of the media availability came at the very end, and was not really hockey related.
RDS reporter Eric Leblanc asked St-Louis a question in French and the Habs head coach forgot to switch languages and answered in English.
Until another reporter said, "You forgot to switch to French, Martin!
A nice moment, very comical, and a laugh ensued :
It is beautiful to see.
Once again, it says a lot about the atmosphere within the team. It also says a lot about the human side of Martin, who always gives excellent answers to the media.
In this case, St-Louis even took the time to completely redo his answer in French, a nice sign of respect, and it's the kind of gesture we rarely see from coaches.
