Martin St-Louis' gaming system criticized
Since the arrival of Martin St-Louis as head coach in Montreal, the Canadiens' defensive zone system has been distinguished by a mixture of individual coverage and zone coverage.
Let's say we don't see this often, but the Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup with a strategy like this.
But it requires precise coordination and young CH players are often overwhelmed by this demanding system.
Nick Suzuki, captain of the team, explained to Anthony Martineau of TVA Sports that young people must learn this complex concept by facing the best talents in the league, which slows down their adaptation.
«That alerted me,» our reporter said during his segment on the JiC show. I went to see Logan Mailloux in the locker room to ask him if he had ever played in a hybrid system. » -Anthony Martineau
According to journalist Anthony Martineau of TVA Sports, Mailloux said he had never played in this type of system before his arrival in Montreal.
«It's not normal that a guy like Logan Mailloux and many others arrive in the best league in the world and have to learn against the best to play a defensive system that they have never played, said observed Anthony Martineau. We wonder why things are so wrong. The CH is the second youngest team in the league and the majority of the guys have never played the system.
«I think we're starting to have answers there. » -Anthony Martineau

As I like to say: this explains that. We can understand why the young CH rearguards are lost on the ice. But hey, over time, it could be beneficial for the team.
