A former Habs player explains a big rookie mistake made by Martin St-Louis

Despite an improvement in the level of effort and the awakening of some players, the new game system that St-Louis is trying to put in place is not unanimous among some experts.

And this is the case, among others, of Alexandre Picard, an analyst at TVA Sports, who declared during the podcast Temps d'Arrêt, in the company of Louis Jean, that St-Louis made a big rookie mistake in trying to implement a man-to-man system, a way of playing that showed some shortcomings, especially during Sunday's game against the Buffalo Sabers.

Picard also added that some players were hesitant to go for a good forecheck.

Despite these rookie mistakes, the analyst is generally happy with how St. Louis has done since he arrived and that the games were far more exciting to watch.
