It was no surprise that the mood was bleak in the Montreal Canadiens’ locker room following their humiliating loss to the Seattle Kraken.
After such a disappointing outing, the team’s press conferences were closely observed, featuring a few notable moments.
Mike Matheson was particularly emotional, stating, “It’s so embarrassing. I’ll be able to answer your questions tomorrow because I’m too angry right now,” after the 8-2 defeat.
Young forward Juraj Slafkovsky also expressed his thoughts candidly in front of reporters.
Is he beginning to feel the strain of intense media scrutiny? His response after the game indicated he might be losing his patience, and some even labeled his demeanor as arrogant.
Regardless, Slafkovsky was straightforward in his remarks.
When a reporter asked, “Is there something you can identify as the reason for not maintaining momentum sometimes?” he replied, “No, but I’m sure you guys will figure it out and write about what’s wrong. Right now, the issue is that they scored eight times on us, and we need to address that. It doesn’t matter if we won the last two games if something like this happens.”
