The head coach of the Montreal Canadiens, Martin St-Louis, answered questions from journalists earlier today ahead of the game against the Stars.
The team is in Dallas today and will face another tough challenge against one of the NHL’s powerhouses.
It will also be young Jakub Dobes in net for his team.
Martin St-Louis’ remarks about Michael Pezzetta
The head coach was indeed questioned about Pezzetta, and I was really surprised by his response.
In my view, it seems clear that St-Louis, unfortunately, doesn’t want to play Pezzetta much, or at least as little as possible, but he just said this to the journalists:
«Pezzetta, I’d like to give him more» – Martin St-Louis
He added:
«Pezz is a pro. Whether he gets 3-4 shifts or 8, his attitude remains the same. I’d like to give him more,» reiterated the coach.
«He has to keep working,» acknowledged St-Louis. «Obviously, he’s lost quite a bit of ice time. It’s not easy to come back. I’m trying to give him shifts where he can stand out and feel better and better.»
We are therefore really curious to see if MSL will follow through on his words with Pezzetta.
The good old Pezz, as Bob Hartley would say, has barely played in the last five games.
«Michael Pezzetta’s ice time in January:
January 3, 2025: 5 minutes and 49 seconds
January 4, 2025: 4 minutes and 32 seconds
January 6, 2025: 3 minutes and 58 seconds
January 10, 2025: 3 minutes and 5 seconds
January 14, 2025: 3 minutes and 50 seconds»
I’m really curious to see if this will actually change, but the message has been sent by Martin St-Louis, and the door seems wide open.
