The Canadian is struggling with a serious problem of indiscipline on the ice, and head coach Martin St-Louis admitted that it was time for him to “tighten the screw.” However, how can he go about it with the staff he has at hand? And how far will his patience go? Our journalists Guillaume Lefrançois and Simon-Olivier Lorange, from The Press, discuss it with Antoine Roussel and Jérémie Rainville, from 98.5 FM. We also look at the case of the numerical advantage, and we ask ourselves: is it possible to separate Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield?
