Martin St-Louis sets the record straight on Jonathan Drouin
There was a lot of talk about the Habs practice today, as Jonathan Drouin was not on a regular lineup and was not on the ice during the five-man attack.
Many people think that number 27 is not in the good graces of Martin St-Louis, but the coach wanted to set the world straight. In an interview with Frederic Plante and Yanick Bouchard at 5 to 7, St-Louis spoke very clearly about his game plan with Drouin:
« The next few days will allow me to prepare Jonathan and improve his game. » - Martin St-Louis
The Canadiens head coach then mentions that Jo has missed a lot of hockey and is not physically ready. He is close, but not yet ready. During camp, Drouin's short absences, coupled with the fact that there were so many people, didn't allow St-Louis to work with him enough, so he wants to take the time to do things the right way.
St. Louis didn't rule out the fact that No. 27 could play Friday. At least that's clear and we can now be sure that there is no feud between the two men.
