Members of the media who cover the Montreal Canadiens agreed today to give Martin St-Louis the day off.

However, a member of the CH's communications team told reporters in Nashville that St-Louis wanted to speak to them.

Before opening the microphones and cameras, the Canadiens head coach had this to say:

"I have no intention of hiding." -Martin St-Louis

As Marc-Andre Perreault would say in his blog on TVA Sports, St-Louis is aware that his team has had five straight losses and that it's not going well.
