A Journalist shows disrespect towards Martin St-Louis during his press conference
Earlier today, Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St-Louis met with reporters after the morning practice.
However, one sequence in particular caught the attention of a few fans.
While the St-Louis was answering a question about Alex Newhook, who clearly hadn't finished giving his answer, a reporter rushed to cut him off to get an update on Patrik Laine's health.
While this isn't the first time this happens during a press conference, in my opinion, it's a huge lack of respect for the Canadiens head coach.
After all, Martin St-Louis isn't required to meet with reporters after every practice, but he does it anyway to allow them to get answers to their questions.
Maybe it's time for reporters to listen to the head coach's comments, instead of interrupting him with more questions.
That was just disrespectful. You can tell Marty wasn't too happy either." - HabsOnReddit
From Martin St-Louis' reaction, it's clear that the Habs head coach wasn't happy about being interrupted by a reporter.
I understand that the reporter in question wanted to get some new information about Patrik Laine, especially since he was practicing with his teammates for the very first time since his injury.
However, by interrupting Martin St-Louis, the reporter prevented fans from getting a clear answer on MSL's impressions of Alex Newhook.
Furthermore, probably frustrated by the gesture made by the journalist, the head coach answered the question in a very vague manner, giving no relevant information regarding the health of number 92.
Let's bet that his answer would have been much more complete and detailed if the media member had waited his turn to ask his question.
In your opinion, is this a lack of respect towards Martin St-Louis?
