  • "I love challenges. I've always loved challenges... I eat hockey. Why would I do this? 1) It's the Montreal Canadiens. 2) I'm the head coach. Those are good reasons to the do this."--Martin St. Louis.

  • "I want my players to make great reads. Great players make great reads, when a great player isn't able to make a read, he becomes an average player" --Martin St. Louis.
John Tortorella intervjuades av The Athletic och han sa bland annat så här om St. Lous:
  • “I think this is a great fit — where the team is and Marty is,” 
  • “He’s just starting his career, and it’s going to be a rebuild there. I think they can all grow together. He has such a great hockey mind."
  • “He’s going to love it. They’re going to love him. And they’ll get it done.”
  • “It was just like how he got into the league, everyone said, ‘No,’ and he wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer,” 
  • .“The biggest thing for him is to see what he has, see how much information he should give at certain times. He’s got to read his team. A big part of coaching is how much information you give your team. How can you give them and they still can play free. This is where his biggest strength is going to be. Coaching in the National Hockey League, the Xs and Os are important, but the feel and mindset of your team is more important. What the players have mentally, what they can handle on certain days in a season is where Marty is going to be strong."
  • “He’s going to make mistakes, Just like players, it’s a game of mistakes. Coaches make mistakes. I’m sure along the way his emotions will get in the way. He’s an emotional guy, but it’s a huge part of what he’ll bring to the team. There’s going to be some media that’s going to try to get him into a corner. He’ll have to learn."
