The Canadian has scored 15 goals in the last three games, but comes out of this streak with two losses. That says a lot about the team’s atrocious defensive performance this week. A game that lacks humility, according to our guests, because a rebuilding team cannot abandon the game as a whole to such an extent.
These performances also come at a time when Kent Hughes says he is “proud” of the team. A comment that tickled our guests, because the Habs had nothing to make anyone proud this week.
Martin St-Louis now has the challenge of saving the end of the CH season, when “players are playing for their statistics”. In this sense, he struck hard by announcing the withdrawal of Jonathan Drouin’s training for the game this Saturday due to an absence from a team meeting.
Elsewhere in the NHL, the escapades of Jordan Binnington, the sale of the Senators and the arrival of Quebecer Devon Levi caught the attention of our guests.

Congratulations to the transparency of Martin St-Louis. It happens often, but we don’t talk about it in the media. I have often seen that, players who miss matches for these reasons. We make it pass on a little flu, but internally, everyone knows it. If you want to create a culture, you can’t let these things go.
Stephane Waite
By saying that there are non-negotiable things, you have results that allow you to support that. The Canadian is on a very difficult streak of a win in nine games. It adds to the legitimacy of the message.
Guillaume Lefrancois
They will be afraid of getting screwed [aux prochains matchs]. Whenever they play against big teams, they have their best games. When they play against teams they could beat, that’s when they don’t show up. It will be much tighter, especially after the wake up call in Florida.
Stephane Waite
It’s going to be tough, because the team is getting frustrated, and it’s not the 2021 team where there was a lot of leadership in the locker room. A frustration in a locker room where half of the regular players are missing and where the two goalkeepers are doing badly…
Alexander Pratt
If I was his goalkeeper coach [à Jordan Binnington des Blues de St. Louis], it would stir between me and him. Before the Holidays, [son entraîneur-chef] Craig Berube got tired too. He has a big, big problem with containing his emotions, which is very bad for a goalkeeper.
