It's hard to remain unaffected by the alarming announcement that came just before yesterday's game, involving Martin St-Louis and his family.

The head coach suddenly left the team for family reasons, and the hockey world can't help but think of the coach in this situation.

This is exactly the sentiment that currently resides in the Canadiens players, and as mentioned by coach Trevor Letowski, who took over the reins of the CH during the coach's absence, it will not be an easy task for the players.

« He is the leader of our group. It's an emotional moment for all of us, coaches and players. We want to rally around that, but we weren't able to do so tonight, » said Trevor Letowski.

It's difficult to focus on hockey when such significant news hits the team's pilot. The words of Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki speak volumes about the impact of the situation and Martin's absence.

« Obviously, it's hard, he is our rock, our leader and our head coach so it's difficult when he's not there... » - Cole Caufield

«It's obviously different with Marty not being here. We have a good group in here, lot of good coaches. It was business as usual. But obviously we're missing him and wishing for the best for him.» - Nick Suzuki on coach Marty

It will not be easy for the Canadiens players in the coming days, especially as they are on the road for a grueling trip to the West until March 26.

As Letowski points out, they will need to come together to face this adversity, even if their attention is for Martin and his family.
