In the middle of a sequence during which they presented a performance that was worrying to say the least, it is not far-fetched to wonder if the Montreal Canadiens will take concrete steps in the coming weeks to improve their situation.
One thing is certain, the hockey world was ignited for a few hours on Monday, when an alleged premiere – quickly denied by general manager Kent Hughes – reported on a meeting in Toronto between the CH staff, head coach Martin St-Louis, and experienced instructor Gerard Gallant.
In order to further clarify this situation, our collaborator with The AthleticPierre LeBrun, went to the sources and contacted the main person concerned to find out his reaction.
Gallant quickly rushed to deny any form of meeting with the Montreal team.
“I called him, since it had caused a lot of talk in Montreal. He told me that he had not traveled to Toronto, that he had not spoken with the management of the Canadian this season. I think he was surprised. Does anyone out there look like him? I don’t know! But Gerard Gallant absolutely denied this news,” LeBrun said during his visit to 5 to 7Tuesday, helping to put that rumor to rest once and for all.
Author of a record of 5 victories, 9 defeats and 2 losses in overtime after 16 games, the Habs came out of a series of six defeats not without difficulty by winning over the Buffalo Sabers 7 to 5, Monday afternoon.
St-Louis and his team will return to action Thursday evening by visiting the Minnesota Wild, before returning to the Bell Center on Saturday evening for a clash against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
