Martin St-Louis Was Missing from Today's Press Conference, and His Absence Is Sparking Reactions
As we reported earlier today, the Montreal Canadiens organization called a press conference. Just a few hours before the game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, various members of the Canadiens answered journalists' questions.
However, one significant name was missing.
Martin St-Louis never took the podium.
The head coach was indeed absent at midday; he did not appear at the press conference. Instead, his assistant, Stéphane Robidas, stepped in.
This has sparked discussion, particularly due to the "timing" of MSL's absence.
It's worth recalling that the last time Martin St-Louis answered journalists' questions on a game day, things got heated with journalist Simon-Olivier Lorange.

In short, this absence is generating plenty of reactions.
It's absolutely nothing serious, possibly even a coincidence, but let's say this can still be classified as an interesting fact to know.
Let's just say it's curious "timing" to see Martin St-Louis skip a press conference right after what happened on Saturday.
