Canadiens call mandatory team meeting today as media will follow afterward
Martin St-Louis stopped practice twice before forcing his players into a mandatory team meeting this morning.
The atmosphere became quite serious at the Montreal Canadiens' practice facility this Monday morning.
Marc-Olivier Cook indeed reports that St-Louis had to stop the drill twice.
He was not at all satisfied with the effort his players were putting in on the ice. You can feel that the Canadiens coach's patience has reached its absolute limit today.
It's normal to see that frustration rise when you look at the team's recent results.
The Montreal Canadiens call mandatory team meeting ahead of media availability
Karine Hains indeed confirmed that the club will hold a mandatory team meeting at 11:30 a.m.
It is therefore underway.
It's a strong move, no doubt!
We're getting close to the trade deadline and Kent Hughes is watching all of this closely.
The salary cap is tight and some players could pay the price for the team's recent struggles, especially in games against division rivals.
Martin St-Louis has always protected his players, but this time, I'm very curious to see what comes next.
Journalists are now eagerly awaiting the official explanations after this famous meeting.
What follows should be interesting for the next game at the Bell Centre, against the Vegas Golden Knights.
