St-Louis Makes a Classy Move That Went Unnoticed to Avoid Humiliating the Sabres in 6-1 Blowout
A gesture made by the head coach of the Montreal Canadiens, Martin St-Louis, is being praised today. As you know, the Habs just crushed the Buffalo Sabres live from the Bell Centre.
The visitors continue their streak of consecutive losses. In the victory, Patrik Laine notably recorded a hat trick.
This obviously drew attention.
Today, many observers are highlighting a gesture made by Martin St-Louis near the end of the game, a gesture that went unnoticed on television but deserves a mention.
Unlike the Seattle Kraken, when they crushed the Canadiens in Montreal, St-Louis made a classy move to spare his opponents.
Martin St-Louis did not want to humiliate the Buffalo Sabres
Here's what various journalists reported over the past few hours.
«Head coach Martin St-Louis gives ice time to players who don't usually play on the power play as the clock winds down and they lead 6-1 over the Sabres. A classy move.»

This is the kind of classy gesture noticed by other NHL teams and, unfortunately, one that few coaches make.
Anthony Marcotte
Kudos to Martin St-Louis for not kicking his opponent while they're already down. The Sabres have now lost 11 straight games and are in complete free fall, sitting last in the Eastern Conference.
