Zone Exit, Season 6 | Episode 9: Should Martin St-Louis reshuffle his trios?

It was Martin St-Louis who said it: sending the puck to the back of the territory is not pleasant. But analyzing, in good company, why the Canadian doesn’t send enough pucks to the back of the territory, that’s much more pleasant. This is what our team invites you to do this Friday, the day after the Habs’ clear defeat at the hands of the Kings.

Published at 4:30 p.m.

This episode is recorded at a time when the Canadian’s medical assessment is getting darker, with Kaiden Guhle who will minimally miss Saturday’s match. Injured or not, our panelists nevertheless believe that the time for a reshuffle of the trios has arrived. Elsewhere in the NHL, we look back at the plateaus recently reached by the two sidekicks Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Antoine also takes the opportunity to tell a good anecdote about the number 87.

I’ve never seen a crooked goalie like that allow a single goal and I think that all of that says a lot about the kind of match the Canadian played.

I find that the fact that [Lane] Hutson has only one turnover on his record, even though he played 30 minutes […]this shows that he seems to understand the message.

Guillaume Lefrançois

Probably Sidney Crosby, like his boss before him, saved this franchise. So we cannot underestimate the contribution of the two players.
