During a Poche Bleue segment on 98.5 FM, Guillaume Latendresse was scathing with his words when addressing Pierre-Luc Dubois.
As for Latendress, it is clear that Dubois is at a critical turning point in his career. He reminded her that it was time to look in the mirror and take responsibility.
“I think Pierre-Luc Dubois has reached the stage where he has to look in the mirror. I can understand that sometimes you are not being used in the right way, that you do not agree with the coach, but a lot of that lies with the player.”He said, stressing that excuses are no longer sufficient.
Maxime Lapierre, his teammate and former Canadiens player, continued by emphasizing the importance of this opportunity for Dubois.
He insisted Dubois now has a unique opportunity to play a key role alongside Alex Ovechkin and help him break Wayne Gretzky's record.
“If you join an organization during your hockey career and you're given the opportunity to help Alex Ovechkin break Wayne Gretzky's record and you're not able to perform, then I guess you don't love hockey anymore.”
During the second part of the interview, the former players discussed Pierre-Luc Dubois' move from the Los Angeles Kings to the Washington Capitals.
According to them, this deal could provide a new start for the Quebecois citizen, but on one condition: that he give body and soul on the ice.
This trade is seen as an opportunity to redefine his career and prove his value within the NHL. One last chance to clean up his reputation.
For both analysts, the message is clear: Pierre-Luc Dubois must seize this opportunity and show that he has what it takes to perform at the highest level. It's now or never for him to prove himself and assert himself as a major league player… not a locker room destroyer
