Martin St-Louis challenged Martin McGuire at his press conference

The Canadiens won’t be making the playoffs this year.

Eight games remain in the club’s season, including tonight’s game against the Lightning… But that doesn’t mean the games aren’t important.

They don’t really matter when you’re looking at the playoff standings, but they do when you’re thinking about the team’s collective progress.

That said, at his press briefing this morning, Martin St-Louis was told by Martin McGuire that it’s easier to score goals and win games when a club is already eliminated because there’s no pressure.

The coach didn’t like the journalist’s comments… and challenged him a little:

Who says that? You say you hear that… Who is it? – Martin St-Louis

The trainer goes on to say that victories are positive and that nothing is easy… And he also says that this is a “negative society”.

His comments can be found at the beginning of his press briefing:
