After two difficult losses and a worrying injury to Alex Newhook, the Montreal Canadiens surprise with a practice in Brossard.
They were there as early as 10 a.m., with Adam Nicholas watching them, in an atmosphere very different from a simple normal practice. I’ll remind you that the practice was at 11:30! That’s still an hour and a half early and on the morning after a game.
“It’s only 10:00 in the morning, but Jake Evans and Brendan Gallagher are already on the ice under the supervision of Adam Nicholas.
The regular practice is scheduled for 11:30.”
– Patrick Guillet
Evans, Gallagher and the surprising decision by the Montreal Canadiens
And honestly, seeing two players like Evans and Gallagher come back on the ice so early says something.
It’s not just a routine. I think it’s a clear sign of leadership.
These two guys have never been the loudest, but they lead in other ways.
They work, they push, they never quit.
And this morning, that’s exactly what they did.
They could have stayed off, waited for the official session, taken it a bit more slowly after two tough losses.
They decided to step up and show that the group isn’t giving up.
In a team still looking for its identity for the past few weeks, this kind of gesture means more than we think.
I really believe these small things can spark something in a locker room.
And the rest of the team surely noticed it too.
