As reported by the excellent Priyanta Emrith, the Montreal Canadiens stayed in Washington last night after their loss to Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals.

It’s an interesting decision by the organization not to immediately fly to Pittsburgh, especially with a game set for tomorrow night.

Most likely, Martin St-Louis wanted to hold a practice today, so it’ll be interesting to see what kind of training session is held in the next few minutes, live from Washington.

The players should be hitting the ice shortly.

Hopefully, it’s a productive practice because several things clearly need correcting within this team.

The Canadiens stayed in Washington, D.C., last night and will practice there at noon before heading to Pittsburgh for Saturday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

A press conference with Martin St-Louis to follow

After the practice session, it’ll be interesting to listen to head coach Martin St-Louis’s press conference. He was visibly angry last night in front of the media.

Will he be calmer today? Will he have more answers to provide?

For perhaps the first time this season, it really felt last night like the patience of the Canadiens’ head coach is beginning to wear thin.

In any case, there will be a press conference around 1 p.m., and we’ll certainly keep a close watch on it.

The Habs really need to put up a big game tomorrow night against Sidney Crosby’s crew.

This confidence must therefore be restored.
