After the Montreal Canadiens’ humiliating loss to the New York Rangers last night, numerous analysts are now questioning Martin St-Louis’ coaching capabilities.
The team’s absence of effort on a night dedicated to honoring Legends has only intensified the situation.
Today, there’s a race to see who will respond the most strongly, with Tony Marinaro leading the charge.

The reaction didn’t stop there, as Jean-Charles Lajoie quickly followed suit, adding fuel to the growing criticism.
A mutual resignation for Martin St-Louis with the Montreal Canadiens?
When asked when Martin St-Louis would be fired, Jean-Charles Lajoie replied that St-Louis would only leave on his own terms.
During an appearance on QUB Radio, Lajoie made a statement that stirred quite a reaction. He suggested that Martin St-Louis will eventually step down by mutual agreement with the Canadiens:
“I’m not saying it will happen tomorrow […] But it’s not true that he embraces defeat to that extent. I refuse to believe that,” said JiC.
Lajoie also expressed that the Canadiens would never fire St-Louis, largely due to his close ties with Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton. However, this doesn’t mean St-Louis will remain indefinitely.
“Martin St-Louis will resign by mutual agreement,” predicts JiC.
What do you think of JiC’s hypothesis?
The key question remains:
“When will Martin St-Louis leave Montreal? Because he’s not a good coach,” added Benoît Dutrizac.

This will definitely be something to watch if the team’s poor performance continues. St-Louis’ future in Montreal could become a hot topic if the struggles persist.
