Viral Scene as Martin St-Louis Loses Patience and Raises His Voice in Today's Practice
Clearly, it feels like Martin St-Louis is changing his approach as head coach of the Montreal Canadiens.
He seems to be adopting a tougher tone, and you can sense his patience has its limits, which I think is a very good thing.
There's one scene in particular that says a lot, and it happened live from Brossard just minutes ago.
Martin St-Louis Raises His Voice at Montreal Canadiens Practice
We never used to see this before, but St-Louis seems to be indeed changing his approach, and it's for the better if you ask me.
Today, it took just five minutes after practice started for MSL to clearly show his dissatisfaction to his players.
«High-paced practice session this morning, with a lot of intensity.
Martin St-Louis quickly stopped a drill and raised his voice, urging his players to pay attention to details in their repetitions.
The players responded and are working very hard.»
The end of the post is important here.
«The players responded and are working very hard.»
It's one thing to raise your voice, but the message needs to get through to the players, and that absolutely seems to be the case right now.
Martin St-Louis was also highly involved on the ice himself as you can see in the video below:
Let's hope this can directly translate to the games now.
Let's also remember that some players have been on the ice since 8:50 this morning, with a lot of extra work and intensity today.
Also, let's recall that last Friday, Martin St-Louis held his first punitive session since joining the Montreal Canadiens.
You can't say he's being passive in the face of his team's struggles.
