During the press conference after the morning practice, MSL answered questions from journalists, and as reported by Marc-Olivier Cook, he seemed to send a strong message.
«Tomorrow is a big game for us»: St-Louis' subtle message to his players.
He refers to tomorrow's game as a big game for the Montreal Canadiens, and the way he mentions it, it really sounds like a certain ultimatum for some players.
You be the judge:
His message to the players is clear: tomorrow, they need to be ready, and they need to be in shape!
We can't wait to see how the players respond tomorrow night on the ice in Winnipeg, but let's just say the stakes have clearly been raised.
Suddenly, the game against the Winnipeg Jets becomes much more intriguing.
The Winnipeg Jets currently sit in first place in the NHL standings, one point ahead of the Washington Capitals.
They hold a record of 21 wins, 9 losses, and 1 overtime loss.
However, they have only won four of their last ten games, so you could say they are going through a rough patch.
Will the Montreal Canadiens be able to capitalize on it?
Even though he was absent today (treatment day), in light of Martin St-Louis' comments, we fully expect Samuel Montembeault to be in goal tomorrow night.
