Q: Ask Aaron Anything, what lineup changes did you consider for tougher D?
Aaron Ward discusses potential platooning and balancing defensemen with forwards, emphasizing earning time and the value of Carrier while weighing his own experiences.
Hour 3 - Former NHL defenceman Frankie Corrado joins
Q: How should Gouley and Carrier be deployed to improve the blue line?

Hour 3 - Former NHL defenceman Frankie Corrado joins
Q: What is the biggest challenge facing the Canadiens' defense right now?

Hour 4 - Tuesday 03/10/26
Q: Pierre, does the heightened pressure on players in Toronto change how Montreal should approach tonight's game?
The panel suggests acknowledging the pressure but focusing on executing their game plan, maintaining discipline, and trusting their own roster as the best path to success.
