Key Things to Know
  • The writer argues it is ridiculous that Montreal Canadiens coach Martin St-Louis is the early favorite for the Jack Adams Award.
  • Martin St-Louis led an early NHL journalists' poll with 58 points, ahead of Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky at 49 points.
  • The writer notes Montreal sits 20th in the league standings, ranks 24th in goal differential, and plays at .500.
The Story in 60 Seconds

Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St-Louis emerged as the early favorite in a recent poll of NHL journalists for the Jack Adams Award, leading the voting with 58 points. San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky followed in second place with 49 points, while Spencer Carbery, Rod Brind'Amour, and Paul Maurice rounded out the top five.

The writer argues that St-Louis's status as the favorite is premature and unwarranted given Montreal's current performance. The Canadiens sit 20th in the NHL standings, rank 24th in goal differential, and hold a .500 record, though the writer acknowledges the vote reflects broad respect for St-Louis across the league.
