Martin St-Louis' Bizarre Take on the Four Nations Final Sparks Harsh Backlash

   

We were indeed treated to a bizarre statement today from Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St-Louis regarding Thursday night's final.

Martin St-Louis' Bizarre Take on the Four Nations Final Sparks Harsh Backlash

Jean-Nicolas Blanchet of TVA Sports had a lot to say on the subject, and we recommend reading his full article.

Martin St-Louis is not interested in tomorrow night's Grand Final between Canada and the United States

An excerpt from the article that says a lot:

'I can't believe it

It was the team's return to practice on Tuesday.

And obviously, the first question at Martin St-Louis' press conference was about the Four Nations Showdown.

It was Patrick Friolet of RDS who asked it.

The coach responded, 'Honestly, I haven't watched much. I'm going to talk about the Canadiens,' before looking toward the other journalists.

Basically, Blanchet is absolutely stunned that tomorrow night's game between Canada and the United States, an event that interests your dentist, your barber, your accountant, your niece, your mail carrier, your Labrador, and your air fryer, does not interest the coach of the Montreal Canadiens.

Especially after the statement from Jon Cooper, head coach of Team Canada and the Tampa Bay Lightning..

'There has been nothing bigger for hockey in the last ten years than what this tournament is doing!'

It's true that it's quite strange to see that Martin St-Louis isn't interested.

I thought Martin might deserve a break from hockey during the pause, but even in that regard, Blanchet completely disagrees.

'I invite you to talk to a nurse in Quebec.

Or an educator in a daycare center.

I'm pretty sure they can convince you that Martin St-Louis, who makes 100 times their salary, is not exactly someone to feel sorry for.'

I find it hard to believe that St-Louis won't watch the game and take a few notes on the strategies of the best in the world, but we might get our answer in the next few hours.

And you, are you interested in the game?

I feel like asking the question is already answering it.
