  • Wait WUT?

    Dropping an f-bomb for the prime minister. Did not come to this for politics. Made a Tokyo comment for Suzuki a couple of weeks ago. Thought it was a one off. I guess not. What a clown this guy is. Will keep show for Rocket report and Euro prospects, but will delete all other episodes.

  • Great host but way too many ads

    The host is awesome and he is super engaging to listen to. However, this podcast is bookended with ads with an ad read in the middle as well. I understand it’s FanDuel but wow. Too many ads, I walked in and said wow that’s a lot of ads.

    The cursing brings nothing to the post game rant other then make it off limits to some younger ears. Unfortunate.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"The Offer Sheet Bowl" - Previewing the Carolina Hurricane Series with Ryan Henkel of the Hockey News
Q: Do you think Montreal can steal a series win given Carolina's strengths?
Yes, with the right balance of depth scoring and disciplined defending, Montreal could capitalize on Carolina's aggressive forecheck, use favorable matchups, and rely on timely goaltending to push the series deeper.
Grading Vinzenz Rohrer's season with the Zürich Lions - a Habsent Minded podcast
Q: What changed in Rohrer's game after returning from Montreal development camp?
His skating speed remained high, but he played with less puck on transitions and adapted to a more North American style, focusing on faster pace and quicker decision-making rather than flashy dekes.
Know Your Enemy: A closer look at the Tampa Bay Lightning
Q: Jared, same question.
Montreal is described as having speed and talent that could challenge Tampa, while Tampa's pace is controlled by a structured, slower style; the balance of pace and five-on-five play will determine the series.
Know Your Enemy: A closer look at the Tampa Bay Lightning
Q: Justin, you take this first.
The discussion frames momentum as a function of experience and current form, with the Lightning seen as more experienced but sometimes lacking sustained momentum due to injuries and roster changes, while Montreal relies on speed and youth but has shown playoff readiness in recent games.
Habsent Minded - The Olympics, but what about the Canadiens players?
Q: What kind of experience can Nick Suzuki draw from this?
Nick Suzuki can gain valuable experience from playing a shutdown role and stepping out of his comfort zone, which can benefit his development and effectiveness in the NHL.
