Why is playing with a lead playing with fire for the Canadiens?
“It’s just a mentality thing,” defenceman Alexandre Carrier said Friday, after the Canadiens held an optional practice in Brossard. “When we’re behind, we want to be aggressive and come back. It makes sense that we’re a bit fearless. I think we’ve just got to find that balance of having that mindset where, when we’re in the lead, to have that same (philosophy) that we’re in the lead, but they’re not going to come back. And be confident with it.
