This Week’s Show

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

  • After being the focal point of Habs fans since the NHL season was paused, Alexander Romanov has signed his entry-level contract with the Montreal Canadiens.
  • Another defenceman is making the trip to North America after playing overseas. Mikko Lehtonen, regarded as being one of the best defencemen outside the NHL, signed a deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
  • Alexei Marchenko, a former teammate of Alexander Romanov, is staying in the KHL signing with Lokomotiv.
  • Habs prospect defenceman, Jordan Harris, is returning to the Northeastern Huskies for the 2020-21 season.
  • The Rocket have signed centre Liam Hawel to a one-year, one-way AHL contract.
  • There was an update on Jesperi Kotkaniemi’s spleen injury that he suffered before the season was paused.
  • Charlie Lindgren believes that he is ready for a full-time job in the NHL.
  • Gerry Cheevers was in the headlines this week and as you might expect it was because of his comments about the Montreal Canadiens and Carey Price.
  • Carey Price showed his class once again by sending a video message to two boys who lost their parents in the Nova Scotia tragedy.
  • The continued impact of Coronavirus on the sporting world.
Segment 2: The Big Topic
  • After the long-awaited signing of Alexander Romanov, Rick and Joe take a look at the Canadiens’ blueline and where Romanov might be best suited to play. They also discuss what to expect out of Romanov as comparisons and expectations have already began to run a little wild.
  • After missing out on Mikko Lehtonen, who could have been an impactful addition for a team looking for puck movers on the left side, the guys discuss the defenceman’s decision to join the rival Toronto Maple Leafs where he will likely get less opportunity to play his natural side and perhaps less playing time in general.

Segment 3: Have Your Say

This Week’s Show

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

  • The Canadiens have come to terms on an entry-level deal with forward Arsen Khisamutdinov. Khisamutdinov was a sixth-round selection by the Habs in the 2019 NHL Draft.
  • The Habs top prospect on the backend, Alexander Romanov, has signed a long-term contract of sorts, getting engaged to his girlfriend.
  • The Bruins came to terms on a one-year contract extension with goaltender Jaroslav Halak.
  • The Blackhawks have fired their long-time President and CEO, John McDonough, after thirteen years and three Stanley Cups. The guys ponder who could possibly replace an executive with such pedigree.
  • Tomas Plekanec did an interview with Louis Jean in which he shared that he would like to get into coaching, while also using two of his former coaches as his sources of inspiration and one coach that he said he would not emulate.
  • Former Montreal Canadiens tough guy, Georges Laraque tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this week.
  • Kirk Muller’s mother, Annette went viral this week with a photo of her holding up a sign that said “Need More Wine” against her window.
  • The NHL and NHLPA released a joint statement detailing their plans for “Phase 2” in which players could return to small group activities in the “mid-to-later” part of May, while also saying that the Return to Play Committee will continue to meet on a regular basis.
  • Phillip Danault believes it would be “inhumane” to ask players to be separated from their families for two-to-three months, should the NHL season resume.
Segment 2: The Big Topic
  • TSN composed an All-Time Montreal Canadiens team in a project they have dubbed the “All-Time 7 Project” in which they will do the same for each Canadian team. Given the Canadiens illustrious history, it is a tall order to pick just 21 players, but they did. Of course, their selections have led to some Canadiens fans asking why certain players were omitted. Rick and Joe take a look at the team and ask who should be added that is not present and which players should not have made the cut.

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.
