After another disheartening loss on Tuesday night, this time to the Seattle Kraken, the Montreal Canadiens are looking to implement some changes.
It’s uncertain whether the meeting was initiated by Kent Hughes or Martin St-Louis, but the players have indeed been called together.
The veterans are clearly pushing to make an impact, and it’s apparent that expectations have elevated this season. Losses like the ones to the New York Rangers and Seattle Kraken can no longer be tolerated.
To tackle the team’s defensive issues and more, veterans such as David Savard and Mike Matheson have organized this meeting. They are accountable to Martin St-Louis and Kent Hughes, who have expressed their desire to be competitive for the playoffs this year.
While the defense is inexperienced and requires patience, significant adjustments must be made when performances decline so drastically. It’s worth noting that David Savard, a Stanley Cup champion, highlights the vital influence experienced players have on a young squad like the Canadiens.
It will be intriguing to see if this gathering leads to improvements in the team’s performance in the upcoming weeks, starting with tomorrow night’s match against Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals.
