Martin St-Louis, the head coach of the Montreal Canadiens, expressed his frustration with journalists during a recent press conference. The event took place hours before the Canadiens faced off against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
St-Louis Calls for Better Questions from Journalists
During the morning press conference, St-Louis, 50, questioned the quality of the inquiries he was receiving. He challenged the media, stating, “Why are we talking about this? Are there any good questions this morning? Ask me good questions.” His impatience was clear as he faced repeated questions about his lineup for the evening’s game.
Game Context and Current Standings
Prior to this press event, St-Louis had indicated he would not disclose his team’s lineup anymore due to their focus on playoff positioning. The Canadiens are currently sitting third in the Atlantic Division with a total of 88 points. This figure matches that of the Boston Bruins and places them just three points ahead of the Ottawa Senators, who are in contention for the two wildcard spots in the Eastern Conference.
