MONTREAL - Living up to the high standards set by the legendary captains who preceded him will take time, but Max Pacioretty welcomes the challenge.
A year after donning the ‘A’ as part of a leadership quartet alongside P.K. Subban, Tomas Plekanec and Andrei Markov, the Montreal Canadiens players united to elect Max Pacioretty as their new captain.
However, with the Habs presently on the outside of the playoff picture as the 2015-16 season draws to a close, it is safe to say that the former 22nd overall pick’s premiere season as captain did not go according to plan.
