The Canadiens weren’t at their best on Wednesday night, and that’s a positive sign - Habs Eyes on the Prize

“We talked before the game that we have to stay out of the box against these guys because that’s where they get momentum and obviously they did [Wednesday],” said Canadiens forward Josh Anderson.

“We knew coming into the first game that things were maybe going to be a little bit sloppy because you don’t have that much time to prepare for the start of the season,” said Anderson.

“There are going to be mistakes but after this game we’re going to forget about this one, watch some tape of what we did wrong and correct it.”.

“It’s easy to criticize all the little mistakes we did, but there are still some good things that happened today,” Julien said pointing specifically to Alexander Romanov, the Nick Suzuki line with Anderson and Jonathan Drouin, as well as Carey Price.

we were the better team out there,” Anderson said
