Antoine Roussel finds the treatment reserved by Martin St-Louis to Michael Pezzetta unacceptable. The Montreal Canadiens backup forward was allowed just 2 minutes and 58 seconds on the ice Saturday night at the Bell Center against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Earlier this season, he was also left out for 28 consecutive games.
“Martin says he deserves to play. Excuse me, but 2 minutes 58 seconds is not playing, lamented Roussel during the NHL Post-match on TVA Sports. He just doesn’t have confidence in himself.”
“Let’s put it at 3-0, [Martin] had an opportunity [de l’utiliser]“, conceded Maxim Lapierre.
Roussel went further: if he had been used in this way by his coach, he would have told him his way of thinking.
“If I’m Pezzetta, I’m going into the coach’s office! Give me more because you’re ruining my career, because I’m a proud guy and that’s not acceptable,” railed the former Dallas Stars and Canucks agitator. of Vancouver and the Arizona Coyotes.
The time has come for ultimatums, he continued.
-“Next match, you make me play 10 minutes and if I play a lousy one, send me to the stands, send me to Laval.”
Roussel then turned to his colleague Dave Morisette to express his dismay.
“2 minutes 58 seconds, Dave, you don’t even have time to warm up!”
“Are you really explaining that to Dave?” Lapierre replied straight away, making the former plumber now host of TVA Sports laugh.
