Sunday Habs Links: Dale Weise explains the bright side to the struggling offense

Montreal Canadiens news and notes

• Pressure shifting to the Canadiens after two losses: we need to do better for the sake of Carey Price's sanity. [NHL]
  

As Subban continued speaking, goaltender Carey Price was talking to the media in another corner of the Canadiens dressing room.

Shortly after Price finished speaking, he retreated to the back area of the room. Just then, someone screamed an expletive so loudly it made Subban flinch as he was listening to a question and look over to see what was happening.

• Craig Anderson seems unbeatable right now, but the team insists they've turned the page on Friday. As David Desharnais pointed out, they made 46 shots on net last game. [La Presse] (French)

• Michel Therrien's opinion on Lars Eller:

Therrien, when asked what Eller has to do to get more ice time: "We roll four lines." #habson690

• Gary Bettman is doing the league a disservice by not recognizing sexism when he sees it. [Arctic Ice Hockey]

It goes with calling Sidney Crosby, "Cindy" Crosby or the Sedin twins the "Sedin Sisters. " These are insults used against star players who sell tickets for the league and Bettman has no issue with it because it has not affected the bottom line for the NHL.
