This Week’s Show
Segment 1: Week in Review, Habs News, League News
- The Canadiens clued up their trip to Western Canada just before Christmas. Last week they lost 4-3 to Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers, but they bounced back with a resounding 6-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets. Rick and Joe discuss the successful trip, players who impressed and things for the Canadiens to work on.
- The injuries continue to mount with Joel Armia joining the injured list. Luckily, Victor Mete has returned to the lineup and Jesperi Kotkaniemi has been cleared for contact.
- In a loss to the Toronto Marlies last night, Keith Kinkaid surrendered three goals in less than a minute of play and received some mock cheers from the Place Bell faithful for his efforts.
- As we approach the end of the decade, Rick and Joe hit the rewind button and reminisce about their favourite moments from the 2010’s!
Segment 2: The Big Topic
- It’s the most wonderful time of the year! That means it’s time for the World Junior Hockey Championships! The Montreal Canadiens are well-represented at the tournament with big names like Cole Caufield and Alexander Romanov who have garnered a lot of attention from Habs fans, and lesser known players like Jordan Harris and Mattias Norlinder.
- The guys point out prospects from other teams that have caught their attention in the early going of the tournament, particularly those who belong to division rivals of the Canadiens.
Segment 3: Have Your Say
- Reading your responses to the Canadiens Connection question of the week: What was the most memorable Habs moment of the decade?
- Listener’s calls and texts
