A year ago, Martin St-Louis said that his team was no longer at the baby stage and that he could ask more of his players, like asking a 7-year-old child to brush his teeth and do his bed. Today, this 7 year old child would have to win his fight in the corner against Tom Wilson?
It seems to me that this is asking a lot? No?
10 months ago, Martin St-Louis said that his team was like a puppy that needs training. Apart from Caesar, the man who talks to dogs, few people can train a puppy so effectively to be as good as a picture today.
What to say in his place?
Martin St-Louis is in such a difficult situation.
It’s really starting to make him sweat to lose. And that victory is secondary, that surely no longer appeals to him. And in front of the media, he can no longer arrive after a thaw saying that he is proud of the progress and that everything is beautiful. He senses the collective impatience.
But if he arrives in front of the media and is in fine form on October 31, what will it be like after a thaw on February 17 when the CH will be in the cellar? He hasn’t stopped getting angry.
I have no idea what I would do in his place. You have to stay positive, but not too much. Be angry, but not too angry. Be in a good mood, but don’t show that it doesn’t bother him. It must be complicated.
Lack of tools
My 3 year old boy is rather rambunctious. He stole three TVs from us. One with a hockey player, another with a lady potato and the other with the controller. Although I quibble about it, I also took out insurance on the new TV. He’s 3 years old, batinsse! It’s normal that he is turbulent and that it’s still difficult to make him understand certain things.
Martin St-Louis can get angry. But against Washington on Thursday night, he had two first-line players and 10 third-line players, but above all, the fourth line, on hand.
He can get angry. But Christian Dvorak isn’t going to suddenly have an offensive flair. And Josh Anderson will not suddenly succeed in making clever passes in the opposing zone.
Even if the Canadian had been better, he would still have lost.
It’s going to take a really good mixologist to be in the “mix”, because this unrealistic wish will become more and more unrealizable. And we will have to focus on some positive things. Otherwise, the season will be very long.
