from Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette,

Coach Michel Therrien didn’t hesitate to point a finger at defenceman P.K. Subban after the Canadiens lost a 3-2 decision to the Colorado Avalanche Wednesday night.

“We played a solid game and it’s disappointing that we lost because of an individual mistake,” said Therrien.

The coach didn’t name any names but it was obvious he was talking about his star defenceman, who lost the puck with a little more than two minutes to play in regulation. That provided the Avalanche with an odd-man rush and Jarome Iginla scored his second goal of the night to snap a 2-2 tie.

The Canadiens are in a desperate battle for points and when Therrien was asked whether it would have been prudent to secure a point and take their chances in overtime, he replied “I just want us to play the right way.”

“I was going up the wall and I crossed over and lost an edge,” said Subban, who was making one of his wide, sweeping moves to elude a check from Mikhail Grigorenko. He succeeded in that but when Subban went down, the puck was lying on the ice and Grigorenko alertly started the rush in the other direction.

“If I was being pressured, I would have rimmed the puck and got it in deep,” said Subban. “But I don’t think he touched me.”
