The Montreal Canadiens are not ready to compete for a Stanley Cup. This podcast aims to follow them on their journey from bottom feeder to champion. When that happens, the podcast is over. Join Ian (@MaybeItsIan) each week as he tries to figure out what the Habs are doing and whether or not their plan has the Canadiens any closer to bringing a 25th Stanley Cup to Montreal.

Go Ian!
I love the premise of this show and really enjoy listening to Ian’s takes. As someone who has primarily followed the habs during the Bergevin era, I’m hungry for a patiently-built contender.
I’m looking forward to seeing how the show evolves as the team grows out of the league’s basement over the next couple years. I always look forward to the listen.
Thanks Ian and keep up the awesome work!
Ian does a great job putting out ideas on where he thinks "The Build" for the Habs is headed. It's an interesting mix of analysis and gut feelings, and he does a great job of bringing in prospect ratings as well.
The trade grades have been fun to watch develop, and I'm hoping this is a short-lived podcast (only because it means we're back on top where we should be). GHG!
I’m a relatively new Habs fan (2020) & I’m so excited to listen to this podcast chronicle the rebuild. It’s an exciting time with so much change & development going on. I only learned of your podcast through Locked on Canadiens & I’m listening from the beginning & loving it. Thanks for all your time and effort in producing this podcast.
I love the premise of this show! I’m looking forward to seeing how the show evolves as the team grows out of being bad. I always look forward to the listen. Thanks Ian!
