After getting eliminated in 4 straight game against the Bruins, the Canadiens reflected today on what went wrong this year."We projected a number of players to continue to progress and grow and really through the first half of the season we got most of that. It was the second half where we had the problems and once they started to accumulate, we weren't able to carry through with what look like on paper last September, should be a team still competing in the playoffs today," said general manager Bob Gainey in a press conference Thursday.
Carey Price was broodily booed by the Canadiens fans last night in a 4-1 lose to Bruins. Today the media asked Price, why he rose his arms? So Price simply responded: "I made that particular gesture to remind people that booing doesn't always help," Price stated on Thursday. "We're out there trying our hardest, guys are playing hurt and we're doing everything we can and things werent going our way and we started having people turn on us in our own rink. It's kind of hard to put up with."Rumors say that players such as Alex Kovalev, Saku Koivu and Mike Komisarek could possibly not be back next year.
"I think I need some time right now to get away from the game and just clear my head and think about what the future will be. Obviously, the team will do the same thing and they're going to go through the season and make up their mind on what the roster will look like going into next year," said Koivu. "This is a home for me and I love it here, I've no reasons to leave but at this point their plan has to be the same as mine if I'm going to be here."Only time will tell who will not be on the Habs next year and who will stay on the Habs for next Year.
