This Week’s Show
Segment 1: Week in Review, Habs News, League News
- We’re right back in the swing of things following the All-Star break. The Habs played four games this week, winning games over Florida, New Jersey and Anaheim, while dropping a contest against Columbus. The Canadiens have won eight of their last 11 games.
- Taking a look at goaltending this week, Carey Price had a great week between the pipes, Charlie Lindgren picked up a win in Price’s absence, Michael McNiven is back with the Laval Rocket and Keith Kinkaid is still in Laval and not exactly happy about it.
- In the shootout win over the Devils, fans were quite critical of Lindgren, who made phenomenal saves throughout, but allowed goals that some fans did not like. Rick and Joe discuss the reaction to Lindgren’s performance, and what a reasonable expectation is for a goaltender not named Carey Price.
- After the Athletic had their NHL player’s poll a few weeks ago, this time it’s the agents turn to give their thoughts on NHL executives, amongst other things.
- Geoff Molson’s feud with members of the Montreal media is ongoing.
- An update on Jesperi Kotkaniemi and the Laval Rocket.
- Looking at the latest developments in the Trois-Rivières story.
Segment 2: The Big Topic
- The Canadiens have been dealing with a nasty flu bug that has been working its way through the locker room. Additionally, the loss of Habs captain Shea Weber to injury has not helped.
- We wondered earlier this season if the Canadiens would have the same luck with the injury bug that they did last season when they were relatively unscathed and though they have not been affected as drastically as other teams, they’ve still had some unfortunate luck with injuries.
- In addition to the flu and the loss of Shea Weber, the Canadiens are still awaiting the return of Jonathan Drouin who has been cleared for contact since the end of January. Claude Julien says they are waiting on Drouin to tell the Canadiens when he feels ready to rejoin the lineup.
Segment 3: Have Your Say
- Reading your responses to the Canadiens Connection question of the week: Which Habs players will likely be moved before the NHL trade deadline?
- Listener’s calls and texts
- Bad tweet of the week

This Week’s Show
Segment 1: Week in Review, Habs News, League News
- It’s week two without NHL hockey and we are now carefully monitoring the sanity of our co-hosts Rick and Joe.
- The Canadiens made a pair of signings this week, re-signing Gustav Olofsson to a one-year, two-way contract and signed Jesse Ylonen to his three-year entry-level contract. One has to wonder if Alexander Romanov may be the next one to sign a contract with the club.
- There was a third positive test for the Coronavirus in the NHL this week, coming from the Colorado Avalanche.
- We have seen more and more cancellations and postponements across the sporting world this week that included the CHL cancelling the playoffs for their three leagues and the Memorial Cup, the IOC postponing this year’s summer Olympics and the postponement of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft that was set to take place in Montreal.
- The ECHL and all leagues in the CHL are moving from being suspended to cancelled. Additionally, the IIHF 2020 Men’s World Championships that were set to take place in Switzerland have been cancelled.
- In NHL 20 simulation news, the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 7-5, pouring some salt on the wound of Leafs fans.
- The hockey equipment company Bauer has received the green light to begin making protective medical gear for medical staff and first responders.
- Carey Price and his wife Angela made a $50,000 donation to the Breakfast Club of Canada.
- There were layoffs made by Group CH.
Segment 2: The Big Topic
- Who will be the fall guy for this season should there be one, since Marc Bergevin and Claude Julien will both be back? Could it be Trevor Timmins or Kirk Muller shouldering the blame for this season’s shortcomings? Will the change come in the form of a trade? The guys discuss.
Segment 3: Have Your Say
- Reading your responses to the Canadiens Connection question of the week: How are you coping during the ‘pause’?
- Listener’s calls and texts
- Bad tweet of the week
