Martin St-Louis, the coach of the Canadiens, showed he was not happy with the question he got after his team lost in overtime during Game 2.
The Quebec reporter involved in this situation has now been named, and it adds more tension to an already awkward interaction after the game.
Guillaume Lefrançois from La Presse was the one who asked St-Louis about a major decision from the game.
His question was about what happened during overtime, specifically why the Canadiens kept their full lineup instead of shortening it during such a crucial part of the game.
The question was straightforward. Why did the fourth line still play at the beginning of overtime when it was such an important moment?
And more importantly, why was Oliver Kapanen still on the ice during that time?
A moment that quickly caught people’s attention
This exchange didn’t take long to go viral because it struck a chord after a loss that already had fans questioning how the Canadiens were managed during the game.
“A journalist from Montreal asked coach Martin St. Louis why he didn’t reduce the number of players on the ice during overtime, leaving the fourth line out there instead. ”
The coach from Quebec didn’t seem too pleased.
Many viewers also picked up on this uncomfortable moment, especially St-Louis’ expression after hearing the question.
Karine Hains shared her thoughts on what happened, adding to the spotlight on the situation.
“St. Louis didn’t like Guillaume Lefrançois’ question about why the fourth line was playing in overtime too early.
It seemed like he gave him a look similar to the one Shane Wright received. ”
What makes this situation interesting is that the question itself was a fair one. It directly pointed to a coaching decision that affected the game’s outcome.
The loss happened quickly in extra time due to a mistake by Oliver Kapanen, and that’s why people are talking about the choice made.
Many analysts from Quebec are looking back at that moment and wondering if Martin St-Louis made a wrong call.
For Lefrançois, this is just part of his job. He has reported on the Canadiens for a long time, and this is the perfect time for a reporter to seek out answers.
