This Week’s Show

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

  • The Canadiens have signed goaltender Vasily Demchenko to a one-year, two-way contract.
  • Defenceman Alexei Marchenko is not going to sign an extension with his KHL club, CSKA Moscow. The Canadiens are reportedly a team that are interested in his services.
  • Eric Engels said based on his information that it is “all but assured” Ilya Kovalchuk will be back with the Habs next season. The guys discuss the possibility of the 37-year-old returning to the club.
  • In a conference call, Brendan Gallagher touched on the idea of signing a contract extension with the Canadiens, also saying that he didn’t believe that negotiations would become a distraction.
  • The NHL has floated around the idea of holding the Draft before awarding the Stanley Cup. After the NFL draft this week, Rick and Joe discuss what the NHL could have learned from how the NFL handled their draft.

Segment 2: The Big Topic

  • As the NHL has insisted over the last few weeks, they are looking at all possible options for resumption of play. One of the options that was discussed this week was Hub Cities where games would be played in NHL cities that have not been hit too hard by the Coronavirus. The desire for games to be played in NHL arenas is what makes this idea more intriguing than some of the neutral sites that have been discussed in previous weeks.

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

This Week’s Show

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

  • We’re through the first full week without NHL games, Rick and Joe discuss their week without NHL hockey or any sports.
  • Even without any games there was some roster movement for the Canadiens this week. Before NHL rosters were frozen, the club assigned Jake Evans to Laval. Nathaniel Halbert was released from his PTO and Alex Belzile signed a one-year, two-way extension with the club.
  • Cole Caufield will be returning the Wisconsin Badgers next season. After Alex Turcotte and K’Andre Miller signed their Entry Level Contracts, some wondered if Caufield would be headed to the pros as well, but Marc Bergevin and the Canadiens were clear in what they wanted. 
  • Of course, the Coronavirus continues to dominate the news cycle around the world, and by extension, the sporting world, including the first positive test in the NHL that came from the Ottawa Senators and led to concerns for their most recent opponents the Ducks and Kings. 
  • 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. 
  • How organizations were approaching the payment of their part-time employees dominated social media this week, including the plan of the Montreal Canadiens.

Segment 2: The Big Topic

  • Taking a look at some storylines that emerged out of this season, Rick and Joe discuss how the communications department for the Canadiens have been rather noticeably searching for a good news story for this season and have often exaggerated to do it. A recent example comparing the production of Phillip Danault to Connor McDavid is a prime example of this. They also look at Geoff Molson’s interactions with Montreal media on Twitter. 
  • 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? The guys discuss. 

Segment 3: Have Your Say

  • Reading your responses to the Canadiens Connection question of the week: Is it the right decision for Cole Caufield to return to the Wisconsin Badgers?
