Therrien denies making 'worst captain' comments about Pacioretty
Jean-Yves Ahern / USA Today
Michel Therrien says he never called Max Pacioretty the "worst captain in Canadiens' history."
"I never said those things," Therrien said Tuesday. "I don't pay attention, quite honestly, to hearsay. If I start to pay attention to everything that they say, as a coach I'm going to lose my focus."
The response came after a local Montreal radio station alleged Therrien called out the Canadiens leader.
Pacioretty was voted captain of the Canadiens by teammates at the start of last season.
