In a press conference over the last few minutes, Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St-Louis made quite a statement.
Ahead of the matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Habs' bench boss has begun sending his messages - and he did it right in front of the media.
Here's one of the clips that's getting a massive reaction:
Habs coach Marty St. Louis today on the struggling PP:
"When 5 guys are connected and they're doing their job, it shouldn't take 7-8 passes. It takes a lot of passes because one or two guys aren't doing their jobs."

Wow!
He clearly doesn't seem to be talking about Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, which definitely narrows down the possible targets here...
Martin St-Louis has notably lost patience with Ivan Demidov
This statement is all the more interesting given that St-Louis recently decided to remove young Demidov from the first power-play unit.
Is this the reason why?
Let's also remember that St-Louis shut down a reporter and refused to answer a question about the power play during a press conference...
I'm very curious to see what comes next, but St-Louis is clearly starting to lose patience with his team's power play.
We strongly recommend watching his full press conference:
And you - do you think it was the right decision to take Ivan Demidov off the first power-play unit?
