As the Canadiens struggle to score, many ideas have been floated, including the crazy idea of moving P.K. Subban to forward. [Montreal Gazette]
Subban came to the defense his general manager, stating that he doesn’t think it’s fair for Marc Bergevin to shoulder all of the blame for the team’s struggles. [La Presse]
There was lots of talk on TSN 690 about Thursday’s press conference. Bob McKenzie joined the crew to discuss, among other things, Bergevin’s unwillingness to replace Michel Therrien. Marc-Antoine Godin, meanwhile, examined the Habs’ diminishing hopes of making the playoffs. [TSN 690 | McKenzie | Godin]
Therrien knows what the Canadiens need to do, and that’s find a way to win without Carey Price between the pipes. [SN]
Jeff Petry feels that he is among the Habs players who need to be better in order for the team to break out of their slump. [RDS]
