At the close of his initial training camp press conference, Martin St. Louis emphasized that his remarks to the media were entirely consistent with what he communicates to his players. This assertion carried a touch of irony, as he had just finished delivering a lengthy admonition in response to a reporter`s question, a message he had evidently already conveyed to the athletes on Wednesday. While St. Louis did not intend to amuse the audience, he succeeded nonetheless, and his candor at every press conference is highly valued. The core message of his address was profound and pertinent to every participant in the Canadiens` camp, yet it felt particularly pointed towards one specific player.
