BROSSARD – Failing to advance beyond the second round of the playoffs isn’t cause for concern among members of the Canadiens’ leadership corps.
Assistant captains Max Pacioretty, Tomas Plekanec, Andrei Markov and P.K. Subban, along with goaltender Carey Price, were among 16 Habs to meet the media on Thursday at the Bell Sports Complex to formally evaluate the 2014-15 campaign, which came to an end just two days ago at the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
While the postseason certainly didn’t play out the way the Habs had intended coming off a dominant showing between October and early April, those charged with leading Michel Therrien’s troops within the locker room and setting an example on the ice insist that in retrospect, the positives far outweighed the negatives.
