After announcing the signing of Sean Monahan yesterday morning, the organization announced that the striker would be at the Zoom press briefing at 11:00 Wednesday morning. We had no idea that his comments would be so important, starting with his thoughts on Martin St-Louis. <blockquote class=twitter-tweet><p lang=fr dir=ltr>Sean Monahan at press briefing: Marty (St-Louis) was one of the main reasons why I wanted to extend my deal with the <a href=https://twitter.com/hashtag/CH?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>#CH</a>!.<br><br>I think we may still be underestimating MSL's contribution to the organization! <a href=https://twitter.com/hashtag/Habs?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>#Habs</a> <a href=https://twitter.com/hashtag/Canadiens?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>#Canadiens</a>- Marc-Olivier Beaudoin (@MOBeaudoin1) <a href=https://twitter.com/MOBeaudoin1/status/1671535108119994371?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>June 21, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js charset=utf-8> <blockquote class=twitter-tweet><p lang=fr dir=ltr>Martin St-Louis is in the Hall of Fame as a player, but he's also in the Hall of Fame as a person.
