When questioned by reporters, St-Louis couldn't confirm or deny anything at the moment, but he responded that he remains hopeful it isn't too serious.
We must hold onto this hope.
Speaking of hope, let's recall that a doctor has weighed in on the possibility of Patrik Laine's absence:
Dr. Harjas Grewal mentions the possibility of a meniscus tear (1 to 4 months out), the possibility of an ACL tear (season over), but doesn't rule out the possibility of a bone bruise (a few weeks out).
The goal here is not to give false hope, but simply to share the observations of a real doctor.
In short, the head coach of the Canadiens also added this when asked about the need to respond to such an incident (as a team).
In any case, this definitely throws a huge cold shower on the excitement of Montreal Canadiens fans heading into the 2024-2025 season, which was shaping up to be very interesting.
It will be fascinating to see the resilience of Martin St-Louis' squad.
More details to follow.
