We witnessed an unusual scene earlier today during the Montreal Canadiens’ practice session. For a rare moment, Martin St-Louis truly lost it in the middle of practice and raised his voice during a drill.

Personally, I love seeing this, especially during a solid three-game winning streak.

It shows that the head coach (and the players, of course) are not letting up at all.

Martin St-Louis loses patience live during Canadiens practice

As you can imagine, the video quickly went viral.

Essentially, MSL completely stopped a drill to intensely get his players back in line.

Here’s the exact transcript from TVA Sports and Le Journal de Montreal :

“F…ing wake up!» he shouted. “Why aren’t you passing the f…ing puck? There are 20 players on the ice! Is that helping?”

– Martin St-Louis, addressing one of his players

Of course, despite this nice winning streak since returning from the Four Nations Showdown break, the Canadiens are still five points out of a playoff spot.

There’s still a lot of work to be done, and Martin St-Louis clearly knows that very well.

I love it!

The Canadiens will face the Buffalo Sabres tomorrow on the road at 7 PM. They will then host these same Sabres next Monday at 7 PM, this time at the Bell Centre.

Jakub Dobes will be in net for his team tomorrow.
