After the humiliating loss of the Montreal Canadiens to the New York Rangers last night, numerous analysts are starting to doubt Martin St-Louis’ coaching skills. The team’s underwhelming performance, especially on a night dedicated to honoring legends, has only amplified the scrutiny.
Currently, there’s a competition among commentators to see who can express the strongest opinion. It began with Tony Marinaro and was followed by Jean-Charles Lajoie.
Is a mutual resignation between Martin St-Louis and the Canadiens on the horizon? When JiC was asked about St-Louis’ potential firing, he suggested that the coach would leave only on his own terms.
During a discussion on QUB Radio, Lajoie made a provocative statement that drew significant responses. He believes that a mutual resignation between Martin St-Louis and the Canadiens is likely: “I’m not saying it will happen tomorrow […] But it’s hard to accept he’s fine with such losses. I refuse to believe that.” – JiC
Nevertheless, he thinks the team would never dismiss St-Louis, primarily because of his connections with Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton. However, that doesn’t imply that St-Louis is guaranteed to remain indefinitely.
“Martin St-Louis will resign by mutual agreement,” predicts JiC.
What do you think of JiC’s theory?
The fundamental question remains:
“When will Martin St-Louis depart from Montreal? Because he isn’t performing well as a coach.”
