After eight losses in the last ten games, Martin St-Louis, the coach, was not in the mood for jokes during the team's practice session.
He took advantage of an extra day off before the next game, scheduled for Wednesday evening, to shake up his players. He made them skate hard, and journalists present at the scene captured the images.
However, what attracted more attention was what happened during a drill that was not going well, according to the coach's standards. Evidently dissatisfied with his players' performance, he seemed to lose patience with them.
