Crazy Information Emerges on the Departure of Martin St-Louis
Unfortunately, it's one of the current stories in Quebec for the past few days, the announced temporary departure of Martin St-Louis, but let's remember that this situation is not so rare.
It's not uncommon to see a head coach of the CH having to take some time off for significant reasons.
If this helps put things into perspective, all the better, but let's remember that Claude Julien and Dominique Ducharme also missed games during their tenure.
For players like Nick Suzuki, Brendan Gallagher, Joel Armia, and Jake Evans, this is therefore the third time they are experiencing the temporary departure of their head coach. It was a third similar announcement for them.
«In 2020, Claude Julien had missed the last five games of the series against the Flyers due to chest pains he had felt the night following the first matchup. Kirk Muller had replaced him.
The following year, Ducharme had to bow out for six games due to a positive COVID test in the heart of the semi-final against the Golden Knights of Vegas.» - Via Jonathan Bernier, from JdeM
Suzuki even mentioned it yesterday during his press conference; he has already experienced this situation a few times, so he knows how to react.
Trevor Letowski obviously has a big challenge ahead of him, as he himself mentioned yesterday in front of the journalists, but it's not only up to him to fill the big gap created with the temporary departure of Martin.
It's up to the entire team to give a little more, to take more responsibility, and to continue the culture that has been established.
Let's remember that Letowski mentioned yesterday that Martin St-Louis continues to be involved from afar despite everything:
