The pressure is mounting for the Montreal Canadiens, who will be facing elimination tomorrow night in Washington, and it showed in the final moments of practice.
After a sloppy defensive zone drill involving three players, head coach Martin St-Louis lost his patience.
See the footage, which we have here thanks to TVA Sports:
I don't mind seeing this kind of intensity!
Martin St-Louis loses his patience before flying to Washington
This team is not ready to quit, and clearly, St-Louis refuses to see his squad eliminated in just five games.
If the Canadiens manage to pull off a win tomorrow night in Washington, they'll have a chance to bring the series back home for Game 6, which would take place Friday night at the Bell Centre.
That's clearly the goal right now!
St-Louis also said this during a press conference:
Martin St-Louis on his team being used to having their backs against the wall and proving doubters wrong:
"I feel all year we've had that mentality where everything looks like it's going the wrong way so to speak and we get up and speak."

Brendan Gallagher also gave us a good hint about the current mindset in the locker room:
"Brendan Gallagher says he along with the players who were on the 2021 team will draw from their experience coming back from 3-1 down vs. Toronto and do their best to relay that message to the younger guys on the team as they prepare for Game 5."
