With a record of 4-7-2 in 13 games so far, the CH occupies last place in the Atlantic division and let's say that the atmosphere is starting to become heavy within the team.
Starting with head coach Martin St-Louis, who seems to no longer know where to turn and his lack of experience behind a hockey team bench is starting to become problematic.
Moreover, on this subject, a renowned informant, well connected to the activities of the National Hockey League, had a lot to say about what is said about the Canadiens elsewhere in the Bettman Circuit.
On BPM Sports, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic mentioned that the inexperience behind the Canadiens bench is starting to cause a lot of talk throughout the hockey world.
At the microphone of hosts Georges Laraque and Stéphane Gonzalez, LeBrun did not hesitate to address this problem which seems to be becoming increasingly heavy to bear within the organization.
Even a former coach of the Canadiens, Jean Perron, declared this week on the airwaves of a radio station in Quebec City that he expected Martin St-Louis to resign before the Holidays.
Unless the former Tampa Bay Lightning star manages to turn things around and the Canadiens get back on the winning path, Kent Hughes' patience might soon reach its limits.
