After three victories in four games, including one by shutout against the powerful Oilers attack, the tone is changing in the way we look at the Canadian. Even Richard Labbé, politely described by Jérémie Rainville as the most “realistic” speaker on the panel, recognizes that the Habs delivered a strong performance Monday night against Edmonton.

Knowing this, it is interesting to look back on the various decisions and declarations of Martin St-Louis in recent weeks. Did he hit the mark by inviting Juraj Slafkovsky to sit on the bench for two appearances on Saturday? Was he right to be so optimistic after the 4-1 defeat in Toronto 10 days ago? That said, a return of the Canadian in the playoff race remains “utopian”, in the words of Guillaume Lefrançois, who expects in particular that the Boston Bruins, who announced the dismissal of Jim Montgomery an hour after the recording of the episode, eventually come out of their torpor and outrun rivals like CH. Elsewhere in the NHL, the injury to Alexander Ovechkin and the absence of JT Miller in Vancouver are fueling discussions.
Since 2021, it is a club [Le Canadien] who lacks consistency, and in the National Hockey League, that is unforgiving. That’s Martin St-Louis’ biggest challenge.

To perform like they did against the Edmonton Oilers, the players accepted the game plan and agreed to take fewer risks and capitalize when they have their chances.

Since arriving in the National League in 2005, the Capitals have played 1,503 games, [Alexander] Ovechkin played 1,444. That means he only missed 59 over almost a 20-year career.
