Victory or defeat, the Montreal Canadiens have been showing rather encouraging signs since the beginning of their trip out West. The team never gives up and seems determined to keep going, which prompts head coach Martin St-Louis to say that the CH can play against “anyone”, a theory that they are ready to accept. our debaters.
Posted yesterday at 4:44 p.m.
The dazzling performance of Nick Suzuki and the brilliance of defender Ben Chiarot against the Flames in Calgary offered a new face to the Canadian, still in the slums of the NHL despite the good mood that reigns in the quarters of the team.
Should we keep Chiarot in Montreal or trade it while its value is on the rise? Our guests weigh the consequences of a new contract or a possible departure of the 30-year-old veteran.
In this podcast episode Area exita collaboration between The Press and 98.5 Sports, host Jérémie Rainville receives Jeremy Filosa, Mikaël Lalancette and Philippe Cantin.
Mikaël Lalancette: Nick Suzuki shows us his real value. It is the face of the club. It’s going to be even better. It is a polishing diamond. We haven’t finished seeing him. Philippe Cantin: CH’s offensive record must go through him. It must be constant. By the end of the season, his first challenge is to prove that he can do it until the end of the season. Jeremy Filosa: People doubted when he signed his big contract. I have the impression that Martin St-Louis will help him.
Excerpt from the debate
Mikaël Lalancette: Is his deep desire to stay with the Canadian, and if so, the Canadian must find a way to keep him. He is the mentor that this team needs defensively. Philippe Cantin: The more Ben Chiarot increases its value on the transaction market, the more it is good news for the Canadian.
Excerpt from the debate
I’m starting to get answers. It was very impressive what the Canadiens did on Thursday. The Canadian does not give up, and we can say that of all the games since Martin St-Louis has been there. Even in Winnipeg, at 4-0, you’re not supposed to believe it anymore. Not many teams believe in it.
