When the Canadiens' training camp started on the ice on Thursday, Martin St-Louis quickly showed his colors. He proceeded to test his endurance, inspired by the method of John Tortorella, his former head coach. Stéphane Waite, the team's columnist and former goalie coach, doesn't really like this approach and shared his opinion on Mario Langlois' show on 98.5 FM. <q>« It has its good and bad points. I watched a lot of the footage from today and my first impression was: Wow! He's off to a fast start. What's good is that he wants to set the tone for the season right away and his authority: This year we're going to work hard. There's not going to be any free rides, it's going to be this, it's going to be that. I don't hate that side. The side that is dangerous is the old school methods. You saw that a lot in my early days in the National League with a guy like Brian Sutter. The problem with that is that it can be very dangerous for injuries. Tomorrow, there will be a lot of guys who will be very stiff. »</q> Usually, to begin with, coaches take it a little easier, Waite reports. <q>« In the last ten years, I have never seen a training camp start the same way. All coaches take it easy to start camp. Step by step. Little by little, you build up the intensity. It's been proven that starting off hard, like today, is very dangerous for strains, and especially groin injuries. »</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/985Sports/status/1573149955694419969?s=20&t=GY8pew3TcEusThS50Au2uA'> </a></blockquote></div> Credit: <a href='https://www.fanadiens.com/equipe-lnh/canadiens-de-montreal/Stephane-Waite-a-vivement-critique-les-methodes-dentrainement-de-Martin-St-Louis' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Fanadiens.com</a>
