Martin St-Louis' power play decision sparks new debate and frustration among Canadiens fans
Martin St-Louis' decision regarding Ivan Demidov is generating a ton of discussion, and the Montreal Canadiens are still searching for a solution to their power play.
Sometimes it feels like certain decisions do more harm than good.
This one might be an example...
Ever since Martin St-Louis removed Ivan Demidov from the first power-play unit, the criticism has only increased.
Fans can't understand how St-Louis' reasoning could have led to this choice.
And the more time passes, the more people are talking about it.
A decision by Martin St-Louis that reignites the debate about the Canadiens' power play
It all began when journalist Eric Engels published the new unit, confirming that Zachary Bolduc was moving into the bumper role alongside Cole Caufield, Nick Suzuki, Juraj Slafkovsky, and Lane Hutson.
As soon as the news came out, reactions multiplied across social media.
A fan wrote on X:
"There's just no way Marty saw the 0/17 and said «Yup, Ivan is the problem."

Another added:
"Yeah cause Demidov was the problem on the PP..."

For many, this decision makes no sense. I have to admit I'm one of them too.
Ivan Demidov is one of the only players creating offense, yet he's the one being removed.
Even the media are wondering whether the Canadiens aren't making things more complicated than they already are.
The pressure is rising, and every game is becoming more and more important.
I think this story shows just how fragile the situation is for the Canadiens' young players.
