Indeed, according to some, the coach lost his locker room and the players no longer wanted to play for him. Worse, they are starting to talk that Pascal Vincent could replace him, even Jim Montgomery if he loses his job in Boston.
In short, the rumors are incessant and we wonder what the reality really is on the players' side. According to Renaud Lavoie, there is no doubt.
That's not all. David Savard demonstrated with his actions how much MSL is respected in the locker room. The defenseman may be a warrior, but he has nothing to prove in the NHL and he is not obliged to sacrifice himself, but he does it anyway for the coach and to set an example.
There is a very good chance that David Savard will no longer be in Montreal next year, but his respect for the coach and the organization is very real. He knows that by leading by example, the team will be much better in a future that he won't be a part of.
Now, players can take Savard's example and give it their all at every moment of the match, regardless of the score. It is by adopting these kinds of good habits that young people will become accustomed to working hard at all times during matches.
