Martin St-Louis' press conference that he held before Saturday's Canadiens game against the Red Wings went viral, and more details as to why came to light.

Head coach Martin St-Louis spoke with the media regarding netminder Cayden Primeau, and it got a little awkward.

After the game, during the press conference, it started off innocently enough. L'Actualite sports journalist Simon-Olivier Lorange asked if the organization still had confidence in Cayden Primeau's abilities to win hockey games.

It seemed as though Martin St-Louis didn't like the question and didn't really like Simon-Olivier Lorange either.

Martin St-Louis visibly irritated when questioned about Cayden Primeau.

We can clearly hear him swear in french and leave «Tabarna**»

Since the press conference, unfortunately, Lorange has been facing an outburst of hate on social media.

There is nothing new in that exchange between the journalist and St-Louis, as things usually are pretty tense.

The problem isn't so much the question itself, in my opinion, but more the person asking it. I don't think MSL is the biggest fan of Lorage.

It's clear that this dynamic now is beginning to weigh in on press conferences and is a dynamic that can blow up at a more significant scale if left unchecked. Either way, Lorange was only doing his job, and the question was warranted.

Poor timing, perhaps, but in any case, it is a question many people are thinking about: does the organization of the Canadiens still believe in Cayden Primeau?

This is something to keep an eye on going forward, particularly with what unfolded over the weekend.

Rarely will a team use the same goaltender in back-to-back games on back-to-back nights, but Samuel Montembeault started both affairs against the Detroit Red Wings over the weekend.

The Canadiens did come out flying on Saturday night, beating the Red Wings 5-1 at the Bell Centre, but the storyline in goaltending remains very much in focus.
