Fan makes controversial statement towards Martin St-Louis during today's press conference
A rather unique controversy surfaced on social media following the press conference of Montreal Canadiens head coach, Martin St-Louis.
Personally, I'm writing this text to defend Martin St-Louis because I believe some people are being too critical and hard on him.
During his press briefing of the day, we witnessed a funny little moment, a scene we've missed seeing, as Martin needed Chantal Machabée's help to find the right word.
We love to see that. However, not everyone feels the same.
Martin St-Louis criticized on social media for the quality of his French
One post in particular got people talking, but there were several like it:
It's more sad than anything. Slowly losing one's mother tongue is like losing a part of oneself.
Hoping the Canadiens follow the example of the Alouettes by encouraging the team to speak and connect in French, unique to Montreal
And she's perfectly entitled to her opinion, although I believe she's being too harsh on St-Louis in this case. He's genuinely doing his best and prefers asking Chantal [Machabée] for help rather than using the wrong words.
I fully agree with that.
