The Canadiens Are Giving Everyone Off Tomorrow, a Decision Confirmed by Habs Management
After a very disappointing performance last night at the Bell Centre, in front of many of the organization's legends, everyone on the Canadiens is being given the day off.
You read that right.
In these circumstances, it's a decision that's causing some chatter, especially among those who remember the era of harsh, punitive training sessions that typically follow such a dreadful performance.
Personally, I have absolutely no problem with giving players days off, as they certainly deserve them, but I believe in this case, the timing is a bit odd.
It's always risky to hold a tough, intense practice or a punitive training session the day after a game due to the risk of injury and the importance of recovery.
It's equally risky to hold one the day before a game, for obvious reasons.
However, in this case, Martin St-Louis and the Montreal Canadiens had an ideal opportunity.
The team played last night (Tuesday) and the next game isn't until Saturday, and at home, no less.
Today being the day after a game, and Friday being the day before a game, Thursday would have been the perfect day for that intense practice, but no.

What's your opinion on this decision?
I think there's a union agreement involved here, but even so, it doesn't seem to be sitting well with all the fans.
In your opinion, do punitive training sessions, like those occasionally held by Patrick Roy with the New York Islanders, still have a place in 2024?
