In this episode, we discuss...

• Patrik Laine's injury has him out for the next 3-4 months. What does his future with the Montreal Canadiens look like? Is his time with Montreal over?

• David Reinbacher, are we concerned yet about his development? Could and should he be traded?

• In 3 years from now, who will be the best player on the Habs? Who will be the face of the franchise?

In this episode, we discuss...

• Is there a goalie controversy in Montreal? Jakub Dobes' start to the season has been sensational thus far. Montembeault has been struggling and is playing well below .900 SV%. Is it too early to claim that Monty is losing his spot as the Habs number 1 goalie.

• The Habs and Mike Matheson are talking extension. If they come to terms, what is the max the Habs should pay him and for how long? What does it mean for all of the other left-handed dmen on the team?

• What are our Habs powerplay setups? Who and where are each player playing

In this episode, we discuss...

• Noah Dobson's pre-season showing

• The Montreal Canadiens announced their opening night roster. Kapanen and Joe Veleno made the team. The Habs sent down Owen Beck, Florian Xhekaj, and Adam Engstrom. Additionally, Kahkonen and Blais were placed on Waivers. Kahkonen cleared, but Sammy Blais was claimed off Waivers by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Did the Canadiens make a mistake?

• So far, the Canadiens line rushes have Patrik Laine on the 4th line. Are we already getting off on a bad note with him? OR does it make sense (for now)

In this episode, we discuss...

• Reinbacher injured.... again! Is David Reinbacher injury prone? Do you still believe he can be the top 4 RD that the Canadiens drafted him for? Is he an Untouchable?

• There's a couple of pre-season games left. Joe Veleno, Florian Xhekaj, Sammy Blais, Oliver Kapanen, and Owen Beck are still with the team. Who makes the opening night roster? Who has made a good impression?

• Fantasy hockey question: Who is a good sleeper or bounce back player to draft in this year's hockey pools?

In this episode, we discuss...

• Which Habs player(s) can be the X-Factor this year?

• According to Jimmy Murphy, the Montreal Canadiens were among some teams that reached out to the Pittsburgh Penguins and checked in on Malkin's availability. At the age he is at (39), is Malkin still a viable option for the Montreal Canadiens. Obviously, he is not a long-term fixture, but could he be an option for this year?

• Should the Habs consider having an alternate jersey with an alternate logo? Or just a version without the classic and legendary CH?

In this episode, we discuss...

• Ivan Demidov was a standout at the Rookie Showcase. You could say that there was Ivan Demidov, and then, there was everybody else. Barring injury, can he be a point per game player in his rookie year?

• Kent Hughes mentioned that this is the most talented roster the Canadiens have had since he took over (It's hard not to agree with him). Does that make them a lock to make the playoffs this year or does losing some of the defensive players they had (Dvorak, Armia, etc.), leave us with some questions?

• At the Canadiens golf tournament, Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton stated that they are willing to overpay for the right player/upgrade. If we had a say, who is a player that WE would overpay to acquire (Realistic acquisitions. No McDavid)

In this episode, we discuss...

• Ken Dryden, gone too soon. What he meant for the Canadiens and the community.

• Carey Price's contract along with a 2026 5th round pick traded to the San Jose Sharks for defenseman Gannon Laroque

• With Carey Price's contract off the books, does it pave the way for the Habs to trade for a 2nd line center? Mason McTavish would be the perfect fit, but way too costly. What about Jared McCann? Pavel Zacha? or the dream... Sidney Crosby?

• If Crosby were to agree to be traded to the Montreal Canadiens, but it would cost Michael Hage plus some other pieces. Do you do it?

• Jared McCann is the latest player to be linked to the Montreal Canadiens. Is there a fit? Should the Habs trade for Jared McCann?

• Per NHL Network, Nick Suzuki is the 10th best center in the NHL right now

Question(s) of the week: Will the Montreal Canadiens break the 100 points mark in the standings? Do you want Jared McCann? Why or why not?

In this episode, we discuss...

• Evgeny Kuznetsov has made it known that he would like to play for the Montreal Canadiens. However, it appears the feeling is not mutual. It's been reported that the Montreal Canadiens are NOT interested in signing Kuznetsov. Considering the question marks around the 2C, is this the right decision?

• With the additions that Habs have made during the offseason, the Athletic puts the Montreal Canadiens at a 69% chance of making the playoffs. Too low? Too high? Just right?

• Which Habs player defines the 2000s and 2010s?

And

Which Habs defines or will define the 2020s?

In this episode, we discuss...

The Montreal Canadiens did not get Jordan Kyrou, but they did acquire winger Zachary Bolduc from the St Louis Blues, in exchange for right-hand defenseman Logan Mailloux

Bolduc and Mailloux were both drafted in the 1st round of the 2021 NHL draft. Bolduc was selected 17th by the St Louis Blues, and Mailloux 31st by the Habs.

Was this a good trade for the Canadiens?

Currently, the Habs are over the cap by almost $3 million. They have a lot of depth on defense. Especially, on the left side. With Lane Hutson, Kaiden Guhle, Noah Dobson, and Arber Xhekaj, could Kent Hughes look to trade Mike Matheson? or should he take a more cautious approach and keep him until they are certain that Reinbacher can start the season with the Habs (Yes, we know Reinbacher is RD, check out the episode)?

Joel Armia and Christian Dvorak are gone. They have signed with LA and Philly. Will the Canadiens miss them? Especially on the PK or in some defensive situations?

There are rumors circulating that Mason McTavish is not overly happy with his situation in Anaheim and that he could be available. Should the Canadiens submit an offer sheet for Mason McTavish? Should they trade for him? Wouldn't he be the perfect 2C (short and long term)?

PLEASE NOTE: THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED DURING THE 1st ROUND OF THE 2025 NHL DRAFT

In this episode, we discuss...

• The Montreal Canadiens acquired 25-year-old right-hand defenseman Noah Dobson in exchange for Emil Heineman, and two 1st round picks (16 & 17) in the 2025 NHL Draft
• In addition, the Habs have signed Dobson to 8-years $9.5 million dollars, making him the highest paid Hab since Carey Price (10.5).

Our thoughts on the trade, what Dobson does for the team, and where he fits in the lineup.

• Does Kent Hughes have any other trades up his sleeve? They have been linked to Jordan Kyrou and have been rumored to want to shed some salary.

• What are they going to do with Matheson? He doesn't really have a spot anymore and has fallen down the depth chart. He has 1-year remaining at a $4.875 cap

In this episode, we discuss...

• Could Lane Hutson sign the first 10+ million-dollar contract since Carey Price? Should they extend him as soon as possible or wait it out?

• In recent memory, who is the one former Habs player (in our mind) that would've changed things for the Habs? A player that we wished we could have seen more from, OR did NOT get hurt, OR if they had just lived up to their potential?

• Dave and Luca are asked to "walk a mile in HuGo's shoes" and give their best sales pitch to the current UFAs

Question of the week - Reply on YouTube for a quicker response: Who is that one former Habs player for you (Regarding the 2nd topic of the episode)?

In this episode, we discuss...

While the Stanley Cup finals is going, the Habs are in offseason mode, and we all know how crazy the offseason rumor mill can be. So, it's only natural for us to talk about the latest NHL Trade Rumors. Especially, the ones that are linked to the Montreal Canadiens

• Nicolas Hague to the Canadiens? But why? Where's the fit?

• Could William Karlsson be a good 2C option for the Montreal Canadiens?

• James Mirtle has reported that Alex Tuch's name is surfacing in trade rumors. Should the Habs pursue him? Is he not the type of player that Jeff Gorton was referring to in his end of season presser?

In this episode, we discuss...

Does Kirby Dach still have a spot on the Montreal Canadiens? If so, where? What if the Habs traded him or included him in a bigger package to address a need?

Is Sam Bennett the ideal 2C for the Montreal Canadiens?

Are the New York Islanders and the Montreal Canadiens perfect trade partners. The NYI won the lottery draft and are getting the 1st overall pick in the upcoming draft. Some have speculated whether this could kickstart a full rebuild for the Islanders. Assuming they go through with a rebuild, and that everyone is available, and assuming that the Habs and Isles want to make a blockbuster trade. What would it take from the Habs to acquire Barzal or Horvat and Dobson?

Arber Xhekaj as a forward instead of a defenseman?

In this episode, we discuss...

The Canadiens’ 2024–25 season came to a close with a Game 5 playoff loss to the Washington Capitals. Now that the dust has settled, we’re looking back at the moments that defined the Habs’ rollercoaster season — the highs, the lows, and everything in between. What could be next and what we hope to see the management do this offseason.

• Sum up the Habs' season

• Top moment and/or play(s) of the Habs season

• What is the minimum that Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton have to do this offseason to have a successful offseason

• Next steps

• If Sidney Crosby decides to move on from Pittsburgh, could the Habs be his preferred destination? If so, should the Canadiens trade for Sidney Crosby (it feels crazy to even ask... c'mon it's Sidney Crosby... right!?!)

• At the start of the season, was there a player we criticized that we’d be willing to apologize to now?

In this episode, we discuss...

Regular season Josh Anderson VS Playoff Josh Anderson

When was the last time both teams in the same game, of the same playoff series, lost their number 1 goalies?!

Samuel Montembeault and Logan Thompson were both hurt in game 3 and left the game. Currently, there is not update on their status for game 4. We might be seeing a Dobes VS Lindgren battle. Which of the two give their team the edge in goal?

Arber Xhekaj returned to the Habs lineup and added a physical presence. Some (NOT US) have even suggested that he is one of, if not the reason the Habs played the way that they did and won game 3. How much of an effect did Xhekaj's presence have on the team? Is the Xhekaj effect real or is it blown out of proportion?

Question(s): Do you attribute the Habs game 3 win because of the Bell Centre crowd, or because of the Xhekaj effect, or both?

1. What was THE story of this past regular season, one storyline each.

2. Habs are going to the playoffs and facing the Washington Capitals in the first round, how do they match up versus the Capitals?

3. What's the biggest concern about the Habs heading into the playoffs?

4. Hutson has the Calder locked, should Martin St. Louis get Jack Adams consideration?

5. Fun game: Lock it in, who scores more goals in the first-round matchup between the Habs and Caps, Ovechkin or Demidov?

In this episode, we welcome special guest Marco D'Amico

Marco was the first one to break the news that Ivan Demidov signed his entry-level contract and was coming over to the Montreal Canadiens.

We ask him how he found out, how it all went down, and where does he fit in the lineup?

How will he adjust to Martin St. Louis' coaching style and how much of an impact will he have right out the gate.

In this episode, we discuss...

Arber Xhekaj has been a healthy scratch for the last few games. Is it deserved? Has MSL lost trust in him? Is he still in the mid to long term plans? OR is MSL simply "riding the hot hand"?

Samuel Montembeault is the uncontested number 1 goalie for the Montreal Canadiens. He is playing well enough, but you can see the fatigue setting in. The tough call is sitting him for a game in the middle of a playoff chase. If and when the Habs get into the playoffs, the concern is that he will be out of "gas". Should MSL start playing Dobes a LITTLE more (at a pace of 1 game for every 3)

Oliver Kapanen has joined the Habs. Should they insert him in the lineup ASAP. If so, where?

Habs sign Jacob Fowler to a 1-year (one-way) contract for the remainder of the Laval Rocket's 2024-25 season and a 3-year entry-level contract with the Montreal Canadiens, which will start next year (2025-26).

Game: What is the best and worst NHL logo of all time?
