RDS Analyst Slams Patrik Laine Over Comments on Canadiens and Martin St-Louis
The Montreal Canadiens forward Patrik Laine once again, despite himself, generated a lot of buzz yesterday during a press conference at the Bell Centre.
During a media availability as part of the Four Nations Showdown, he took a not-so-subtle jab at Martin St-Louis.
He then mentioned that he also had to look at himself in the mirror, but let's be honest, the damage was already done.
Following this incident, the excellent Yanick Bouchard (RDS) had a strong reaction regarding Laine.
See his full comments translated from French:
"Patrick Friolet said on 5 à 7 that the Finn had been holding back from talking about his ice time in recent weeks.. Yanick Bouchard didn't take it well.
'That gives us a sense of the man's character. When the coach isn't there [makes a gesture of throwing him under the bus]. That's out, bye, you don't need that in the locker room, bye-bye, bye-bye.
- Yanick Bouchard, as reported by DansLesCoulisses
It's clear that these comments have reached Martin St-Louis and Kent Hughes, so I wonder what they think about it right now.
At this point, it's up to Patrik Laine to respond in the best way possible, with a strong performance for Finland at the Four Nations Showdown and a big finish to the season with the Montreal Canadiens.
In the end, if he plays the right way, it's obvious that Martin St-Louis will give him more minutes.
And you, what is your opinion on this whole situation?
