Since Martin St-Louis' return to the Montreal Canadiens' circle, a very encouraging trend has been observed by numerous journalists covering the team's activities.

Indeed, as the former head coach of the Canadiens, Michel Therrien, pointed out, the story involving Martin's son seemed to strengthen bonds within the organization, so much so that the Canadiens have been enjoying considerable success recently. After all, the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge have won four of their last five games, even against NHL powerhouses like the Colorado Avalanche and the Florida Panthers.
«The ordeal experienced by coach Martin St-Louis, namely the injury and hospitalization of his youngest son, has united the team; in sports, this type of event is a unifier.

And in Montreal, it had an effect: the club won four of its last five games, defeating some dangerous rivals like the Avalanche and the Panthers along the way, and lost only three times in regulation in its last 10 games.» - Michel Therrien

Despite the fact that the end of the Canadiens' season doesn't really matter in the overall standings, as the team is officially eliminated from the playoff race, the recent performances are very encouraging for the 2024-2025 campaign.
Knowing that Martin St-Louis will be able to count on Kirby Dach's return to play and possibly the acquisition of a forward during the off-season, the next year could be much more promising for the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge fans.
«Even if there's no stake in the standings and there isn't really a difference between 7th and 8th place in the Atlantic Division, it's crucial to finish on a positive note.

Players need to see that the group is improving and that there is hope for next year.» - Michel Therrien

Honestly, we fully agree with Michel Therrien's comments. When an event as sad as the hospitalization of Martin St-Louis's son occurs, a significant effect is often felt on the team affected by such a story, as the entire group becomes even more united.
Moreover, although we would like to see the Montreal Canadiens get the best possible selection for the draft in Vegas, we cannot deny the fact that the team's recent wins will have a significant impact on the players' confidence and the start of the next season.
For sure, we are very hopeful that this good end to the season will continue into the 2024-2025 campaign, as fans are eager to see the organization fight for a playoff spot.
