Martin St. Louis has made the Habs Fun

A year ago, hockey at the Bell Centre was not a fun experience, and it almost always ended with the home team losing. And it wasn’t just the result that was bad; it was the whole process, and that’s why a coaching change needed to happen. We learned a lot about St. Louis as a coach at the end of December. The Canadiens had just lost games by a score of 7-2, 9-2, and 6-3, and they had every reason to give up right then and there. But instead, they responded with a strong month of January.
It’s still unclear if Martin St. Louis is the calibre of coach needed to lead his team to a Stanley Cup, but fortunately for Montreal, that’s not what they need right now. What they need is a coach that can get the most out of his players every night and show improvement. It’s abundantly clear that he can do that. He’s given Habs fans a reason to tune in every night, even if they lose because they get to watch an inspired team play competitive hockey. During a rebuild, that’s all you can ask for.
