Canadiens Make Last-Minute Change for Florida Game That Speaks Volumes About St-Louis

The Montreal Canadiens organization announced a small change of plans for today in preparation for the game against the Florida Panthers.
It might seem trivial, but I think it speaks volumes about Martin St-Louis and the fact that he truly cares about his players.
Originally, the team was supposed to practice at 10:30 AM this morning.
However, as Max Truman mentions, the players arrived relatively late last night, especially when considering the time zone difference, so it wasn't ideal for them to have to practice at 10:30 AM this morning in Brossard.
Probably 90% of NHL head coaches wouldn't have cared about this and would have stuck to their schedule, but not Martin St-Louis.
The Canadiens push back today's practice by 1.5 hours to allow players to get more rest
As the excellent Stu Cowan mentions, practice will now be at noon!
"The Canadiens will practice at noon on Friday at the CN Sports Complex in Brossard, in preparation for Saturday's game against the Florida Panthers at the Bell Centre."

It's a nice little gesture from the organization and Martin St-Louis, which deserved to be highlighted here in my humble opinion.
It's worth noting that the Habs will indeed face the Florida Panthers, who will be missing the services of defenseman Aaron Ekblad (suspension) and forward Matthew Tkachuk (injury), starting tomorrow live from the Bell Centre.
It will be a very big game for the Canadiens.
