Following final Thursday’s crushing 5-1 loss to the Florida Panthers, Martin St-Louis stood in front of a pack of reporters and repeated over and over again “we played a good game”. An elocution that tickled many, together with my spouse, who screamed all of it night time, and Michel Therrien, who didn’t mince his phrases on the topic.
Throughout his pre-game phase broadcast on TVA Sports activities and hosted by Élizabeth Rancourt, Therrien didn’t mince phrases about St-Louis’ feedback, saying that this was the NHL, not the atomic class.
“I have a hard time with that, to be honest. We’re in the National League, we’re not out on Saturday mornings with atom or pee-wee kids. In the NHL, I apologize, but that’s not how it works.” – Therrien
À VOIR | Dans la LNH, je m’excuse, mais c’est pas de même que ça marche” – Michel Therrien aggravated by a solution from Martin St-Louishttps://t.co/T7JIyyfuPo

The previous Tricolore chief pilot additionally added that, based mostly on his in depth expertise as a profession coach, following a humiliating 5-1 defeat, trash cans have been flying across the locker room and punches have been being thrown on the desk. Therrien rightly identified {that a} workforce can’t develop by accepting defeat.
“When I hear that, it sounds like everything’s okay. It’s a dangerous game… you look at the Buffalo Sabres… they’ve got great players, but they’ve grown up accepting losses. It has to hurt to lose.” – Therrien
Having mentioned that, I’m not able to certify whether or not St-Louis was knowledgeable of Therrien’s phrases through the sport, which might be stunning, however within the aftermath of this setback, the coach was fairly a bit much less jovial. The Corridor of Famer was fast to level out that many gamers weren’t prepared.

You already know it wasn’t a banner month when your Molson Cup winner was a objective scorer (Caufield) who notched 3 targets in 14 video games.
