Reporter criticized by Martin St-Louis identified after heated Jakub Dobes question
Over the past few days, a sequence involving the head coach of the Montreal Canadiens, Martin St-Louis, has been the subject of a lot of discussion during a press conference.
Tuesday at the Bell Centre, Jakub Dobes earned a win, and things got heated afterward during the post-game media availability.
The Montreal Canadiens were hosting the Vancouver Canucks, and Dobes was given a rare start. For several weeks now, the well-known three-goalie situation has been coming up repeatedly. When you juggle three goaltenders, every decision becomes a story.
After the win, Dobes was particularly transparent in front of the media. He suggested that he didn't really understand the current situation. He also talked about long stretches without playing, even when the results are there.
Needless to say, that kind of comment quickly makes its way to the coach's office.
Martin St-Louis publicly criticized a journalist's question
The head coach did not dodge the issue when he was told about a question regarding a possible return to the Laval Rocket.
"Did someone ask him a question about whether he would be sent down to Laval? That's not a very good question after a game. Whoever asked that, it's not a good question!"

We also remind you of Dobes' response:
"If I were sent down to Laval, I wouldn't understand it. I don't make those decisions. I'm just trying to prove that I belong in the NHL. If I keep winning, I'll be fine."

In short, in Montreal, this type of press conference makes headlines. In the hours that followed, many wanted to know who had put Dobes in that position. The name that came up is Herb Zurkowsky, from The Gazette.
"We now have the answer. It is Herb Zurkowsky from The Gazette, a journalist who generally covers the activities of the Montreal Alouettes in the CFL."
