At the Canadiens' morning practice on Monday, Martin St-Louis made headlines for losing his patience with his players. The effort seemed lacking, so the coach took action.
While the expectations for the Canadiens to win the Stanley Cup this year may not be high, effort is still expected. Against the Bruins on Saturday night, there were far too many passengers on the ice.
Following this event, comments from fans, analysts, and players have been largely positive. Sean Monahan commented on the situation, and he fully agrees.
Martin has spent most of his time protecting his players, but now it's time to take action. The lack of effort will not be tolerated, and the message is very clear.
