Montreal Canadiens Head Coach Martin St-Louis Loses it At Practice Despite Three Straight Wins
Despite winning their last three games in a row, Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St-Louis reamed out his players at practice on Friday.
With three wins in their last three games, the Montreal Canadiens are still in contention for a wild card spot in the NHL's Eastern Conference.
You wouldn't think that was the case if you saw head coach Martin St-Louis lose it on his players at practice on Friday.
Video footage from practice taken by TVA Sports shows St-Louis stopping the play on the ice, and giving his players a profanity-laced telling off.
"F---ing wake up! Why don't you pass the f---ing puck? There's 20 players on the ice. Does that help?"
The Canadiens pulled off a 4-3 overtime win over the San Jose Sharks last night to remain perfect since the NHL came out of the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off break.
However, the team made a lot of turnovers in the process, something St-Louis was clearly not happy about.
The Habs are currently 5 points out of a wild card spot, with just over 20 games to go in the 2024-25 NHL regular season.
The team received some bad news Friday as it was announced that forward Kirby Dach had undergone season ending knee surgery for the second time since becoming a member of the Montreal Canadiens in 2022.
Meanwhile, teammate Juraj Slafkovsky called his season an embarrassment in a post-game interview.
St-Louis is usually a very easy-going guy, with nothing but smiles during interviews with reporters. It's clear, though that he's passionate about his team winning, and getting back to being playoff contenders.
