This Week’s Show

Segment 1: Week in Review, Habs News, League News 

  • The Canadiens played three games this week, picking up a pair of wins against the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Islanders, while dropping a game to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Rick and Joe discuss the week that was for the Habs.
  • There was some sad news Friday morning regarding Habs legend Henri Richard. He passed away at the age of 84. The guys pay tribute to the Canadiens legend who holds the NHL record for most Stanley Cups won with 11. 
  • NHL Commisioner, Gary Bettman, met with the media to discuss a wide range of topics, including the NHL’s policy on the Coronavirus, the Salary Cap and some potential rule changes.
  • It was another eventful week on the injury front for the Canadiens. Forwards, Tomas Tatar and Brendan Gallagher did not take part in the Habs 4-0 loss to the Lightning, Gallagher suffering from the flu, while Tatar was sent back to Montreal to be evaluated. The Canadiens recalled Lukas Vejdemo from the Laval Rocket on an emergency basis due to the Tatar injury. Meanwhile, in Laval, Jesse Ylonen is not ready to play just yet, while Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Ryan Poehling are injured. 
  • Marc Bergevin has been making quite a few media appearances over the last week, giving his perspective on the rather disappointing season for his club. In an interview with Renaud Lavoie, it was announced that Claude Julien would be returning behind the bench next season. In his 31 Thoughts article, Eliotte Friedman shared quotes from an interview he had with Bergevin.

Segment 2: The Big Topic

  • Who is responsible for this season’s shortcomings for the Montreal Canadiens? With the head coach and GM both returning next season, and placing a hefty amount of the blame on the players, Rick and Joe take a closer look at this season and what has let the Canadiens down this season. Some problem items have been the team’s propensity to give up leads late in games, their home record and backup goaltending, just to name a few. 
  • Who might be the fall guy for this season should there be one? Kirk Muller? Trevor Timmins? As Bergevin hinted last week perhaps it will be a player, most likely a forward, in an attempt to acquire help on the blueline. 

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?

This Week’s Show

Segment 1: Week in Review, Habs News, League News 

  • The Canadiens were in action three times this week. They visited the Senators in Ottawa and picked up a 3-0 win, before dropping two games against the Canucks and Rangers, in which they jumped out to an early two-goal lead before allowing both teams to come from behind and win the game. 
  • There were some great good news stories that came out of this week around the NHL. David Ayres’ captivated the imaginations of people around the world with his performance as an emergency backup goaltender, Bobby Ryan scored a hat-trick in his first game back in Ottawa since he went to the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program, and Jay Bouwmeester returned to St. Louis and received a lovely ovation following his cardiac episode in Anaheim. 
  • News on the injury front just keeps coming for the Montreal Canadiens. Victor Mete is out for the remainder of the season after suffering a foot fracture. Jonathan Drouin continues to deal with an ankle injury, while Xavier Ouellet is close to returning. 
  • The Canadiens recalled Charles Hudon on an emergency basis. Jake Evans was also recalled. Karl Alzner and Xavier Ouellet were sent down, but only as paper transactions to ensure their eligibilty for the AHL Playoffs, should Laval make it. Meanwhile, Canadiens prospect Jesse Ylonen is reportedly set to join the Laval Rocket. 
  • Claude Julien faced some criticism for the load Carey Price has carried this season. He was quick to dismiss the notion when asked about it following the Canadiens loss against the Rangers. He continued to show his frustration with the lack of success, while giving praise to Marc Bergevin, saying his decisions are “strategic”. 

Segment 2: The Big Topic

  • The Trade Deadline has come and gone and the Canadiens were relatively active. They traded Ilya Kovalchuk to Washington for a 3rd the night before the deadline, before trading both Nate Thompson and Nick Cousins on deadline day. 
  • The moves that weren’t made were perhaps more notable, the Canadiens opted to keep both Jeff Petry and Tomas Tatar. Rick and Joe take a look at how Marc Bergevin handled the deadline period and take a listen to some of his comments at his press conference following the deadline. 

Segment 3: Have Your Say
