Monday, after the match, no questions were asked to Martin St-Louis regarding the topic of the day: the rumor concerning Gerard Gallant.
Whether due to a directive or due to a fear of broaching the subject, we did not have the Canadian coach’s version of the facts on the subject of the moment.
Kent Hughes had already denied having chatted to Gerard Gallant, for those who are wondering. Since then, Gallant has also denied the whole thing.
But now Martin St-Louis, after the day’s practice, was (finally) questioned on the subject. And let’s say that he was very brief in his responses to what he describes as rumors.
Asked about the buzz that he was perhaps looking for an experienced assistant (without naming Gerard Gallant), St-Louis was asked if he had already thought about adding an experienced coach to his side.
I think of everything. These are rumors and part of the deal. Kent [Hughes] addressed it. – Martin St-Louis
Clearly, we feel that he did not want to broach the subject and no one insisted. All we know is that he is evaluating all possibilities to improve his team.
But how much does he rate the possibility of an experienced assistant? After all, as Luc Gélinas said, if he wanted one, he would have one.
I have the impression that not only is the head coach not happy with the rumor as such, but that it also puts forward a debate that does not need much discussion. gas to take up space in the public square: that of the experienced deputy.
If not Gallant, could another man be the answer? To have.
