We witnessed a rather unusual and special scene between head coach Martin St-Louis and defenseman Arber Xhekaj of the Montreal Canadiens.

We also witnessed for five of those 25 minutes, St-Louis and Xhekaj in deep discussion.

It’s very rare to see something like that, but we love it!

Martin St-Louis was very animated and passionate, clearly giving some advice to Xhekaj… But yes, it’s uncommon to see a head coach spend one-fifth of a practice session talking to a single player!

A rare scene involving Martin St-Louis and Arber Xhekaj

Here’s a great example of the passion that drives Martin St-Louis:

It’s rare, it’s unusual, but it’s really beautiful to see!

It’s a storyline to keep a close eye on over the next few days.

Arber Xhekaj, 24, is a left-handed defenseman standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 240 pounds. This season, he has one point in 14 games, along with 20 penalty minutes and a -2 plus/minus rating.

And according to you, which of the two will take the hit when Kaiden Guhle returns?
