In an interview just minutes ago with journalist Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports, Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St-Louis shared more insights.

If Habs fans were excited when they learned about the acquisition of Patrik Laine, know that St-Louis had the exact same reaction.

Martin St-Louis really excited about the addition of Patrik Laine

Directly questioned by Renaud Lavoie about his reaction when he learned about the trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets, the coach was unequivocal.

"I was really excited!" - Martin St-Louis

Martin St-Louis has already made an important decision regarding Patrik Laine:

And even in a press conference in front of all the journalists, he echoed the same sentiment.

"We had a good summer by securing our young players for several seasons. Bringing in Patrik [Laine] and counting on the return of a healthy Kirby [Dach], there's plenty to be excited about. Now, it's what you do with it that matters." - Martin St-Louis, via a TVA Sports transcription

It's truly great to see.

The head coach was in an excellent mood this morning, and like all the players and management who have been interviewed, he seems optimistic about the upcoming season.

Without a doubt, the atmosphere within the team is fantastic right now, and we've seen evidence of this over the past few weeks, with all the players arriving in Montreal well ahead of time and starting to train in Brossard far in advance (even though it was not required).

"That says a lot. They took their own time to come here before everyone else." - Martin St-Louis

While remaining realistic and understanding, I think we have the right to be excited for this new season of the Montreal Canadiens.

We also received a few other comments about Martin St-Louis and Patrik Laine, notably courtesy of La Poche Bleue.

Let training camp begin!
