This Week’s Show

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

  • After a tough loss to Detroit in the Habs final home game of 2019, the Montreal Canadiens headed out on the road for the Western Canadian road trip. They bounced back with a pair of wins over the Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames. Rick and Joe discuss the “Road Warriors” Montreal Canadiens. 
  • In a press conference this week, Marc Bergevin said he would not “mortgage the future” to make an improvement to this team. 
  • Taylor Hall was dealt to Arizona this week for a package of picks and prospects that was headlined by prospect defenceman, Kevin Bahl. This was a trade that sparked a lot of debate on social media, including amongst Habs fans.  
  • We check in with the Laval Rocket as they have dealt with some injuries to Alex Belzile and Charles Hudon.
  • Michael McCarron will most likely be facing some supplemental discipline for his actions against the Utica Comets. 
  • After being sent down following his first career NHL win, Cayden Primeau’s struggles in the AHL have continued. 

Segment 2: The Big Topic

  • “Culture” is a word thrown around quite a lot in professional sports. For a team to be successful for a prolonged period of time, the culture that surrounds that club needs to be a positive one. Rick and Joe take a look at the culture that has surrounded the Montreal Canadiens since Marc Bergevin has taken over as the General Manager of the organization.

This Week’s Show

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

  • The Montreal Canadiens slump continues. Three games this week against the Rangers, Bruins and Devils, three disappointing results. Rick and Joe discuss what has gone wrong for the Habs the last couple weeks. 
  • Darren Dreger added some fuel to fire with respect to the rumours about Taylor Hall potentially being a target for the Habs, adding that he could see Hall signinglong term with the club, should a deal come together. 
  • Paul Byron was moved to the IR and the Canadiens recalled defenceman, Gustav Olofsson. 
  • On December 3rd the Montreal Canadiens will celebrate the 110th birthday of the franchise, by welcoming former Canadiens Captains to the Bell Centre. 

Segment 2: The Big Topic

  • It has not been a good stretch for the Montreal Canadiens. When that happens, fingers start pointing and they usually point in the direction of Carey Price.

Rick and Joe chime in on the criticism being hurled at the Canadiens’ franchise player.

This Week’s Show

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

  • The rollercoaster continues! The Habs had a rough week with some disappointing results against some beatable teams. Rick and Joe discuss.
  • The Canadiens have been bit by the injury bug. Jonathan Drouin and Paul Byron underwent successful surgeries this week. 
  • Mike Babcock was fired by the Toronto Maple Leafs earlier this week, replacing him with Sheldon Keefe. How might this effect the Canadiens?
  • The Habs have been trying to manage the cap space all season long. Can this be tied to discussions surrounding the Canadiens in trade speculation?

Segment 2: The Big Topic

  • What has been going on with Max Domi? After an impressive 72 point debut season with the Canadiens last season, the forward has just three points in his last 10 games and his poor discipline led to the tying goal against New Jersey. Is this just a slump, or was Domi’s debut season an anomaly? 
  • Canadiens tinkering with the lineup, Nick Suzuki who was playing good at center, going back to the wing and Domi regaining his spot in the middle of the ice.
