In a stunning twist thatโs shaking the Habs community, former Montreal Canadiens captain and Hall of Famer Guy Carbonneau has publicly criticized current head coach Martin St. Louis in a message that insiders say has left the locker room in disbelief.
According to sources close to the organization, Carbonneau sent a direct message to St. Louis after the teamโs recent string of disappointing performances, questioning his โlack of structureโ and โover-reliance on young, unproven talent.โ But the shock didnโt end there.
Carbonneau allegedly ended the message with a bold statement:
โThis isnโt youth hockey, Martin. Itโs the NHL. Stop coaching like itโs a weekend tournament.โ
St. Louis, known for his calm demeanor, was reportedly visibly frustrated during a closed-door team meeting the following day. Tension quickly escalated when a few veteran players appeared to side with Carbonneau, quietly echoing concerns about St. Louisโ strategies and decision-making.
One anonymous player said, โThe room is tense. Some of us are wondering if Coach has lost the room, and Carbonneauโs words just lit the match.โ
The Canadiens have not released an official statement, but this bombshell has already stirred serious debate among fans, former players, and analysts alike. Could this lead to a shakeup in Montrealโs coaching staff? Or will St. Louis use this moment to reassert control?
