The Montreal Canadiens are going through a tough period marked by disappointing performances, especially against Seattle and Washington.
This situation raises questions about some players’ commitment and is pushing Martin St-Louis to consider changes (as is Kent Hughes, by the way).
Several players, including Christian Dvorak and Joel Armia, are struggling to meet expectations this season, and their performances are drawing criticism.
St-Louis could resort to strict measures, even benching players in the stands.
It’s also said that Kent Hughes is considering defensive reinforcements.
According to observers like Dave Morissette, the team could use an experienced goaltender to support Samuel Montembeault, who is carrying a heavy load on defense.
However, the idea of recruiting veterans raises questions: should experience be prioritized at the expense of developing young players?
Promising talents like Joshua Roy and Alex Barré-Boulet are performing well in Laval and could benefit from a chance in the NHL.
Christian Dvorak with the Laval Rocket, please!
According to many, Christian Dvorak should be sent down to the Laval Rocket, to give a young player a chance and also to send a serious message to other veterans who believe their spot is guaranteed.
Meanwhile, fans hope to see the Canadiens deliver more consistent performances at the Bell Centre, where they have yet to achieve a .500 home record this season.
In short, to give the team a good wake-up call, as Maxime Truman aptly puts it, “send Christian Dvorak to Laval!”
Please, Kent Hughes, it would be such a strong message and a refreshing decision.
