Welcome back to the daily Hockey Inside/Out newsletter, where Monday will mark the fourth anniversary of Martin St. Louis being named head coach of the Montreal Canadiens. In 340 regular season games behind the bench, he has a 147-148-45 record.
"I would say I don’t necessarily need anything. But I want us to try to be the best version of ourselves. I think we’re far (enough) along in the season that we should not lack any details in any departments."
"This year, teams are expecting us to be good, so they’re ready for us. Last year, it took a bit of time for people to take us seriously. This year, it was from Day 1. It’s a change and a responsibility. We’ve earned that right."
