  • Podcasting excellence

    I enjoy Connor’s dry humour and Shawn’s chipper morning vibes. Insightful Habs commentary. I skip the rest because Im a one sport guy but great pod overall.

  • Good show but not updated daily

    Love the show, however there is not much of it in the podcast. The whole show should be on and the fact that it is not updated daily is very frustrating.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Darren Dreger: Habs Game Breakers, Young Future & Team Depth!
Q: What are you hearing about the Leafs hiring an outside firm to handle their GM search or president search?
Darren explains that corporate-style headhunting is common in pro sports and in corporate America; the process is not unusual, but there are questions about what the head of hockey operations means and how it fits with hiring a GM, including whether a president should be involved first.
Bob Weeks: Rory's Strong Opening Round! Nick Taylor & LIV Guys Struggle!
Q: Let's start with Rory's big day and the way he put it together. What struck you most about that 67 yesterday?
Bob Weeks highlighted Rory's patience, noting that he started a bit shaky but stayed steady, didn't force things on the front, and finished strong, which bodes well for his Championship bid.
Hour 4 - Friday 04/10/26
Q: What is the most important matchup for the Canadians in this series?
The discussion centered on how the defensive pairing and goaltending hold up against Tampa Bay's structured attack, with Carrier vs Jacki and how the defense scores and neutralizes the forecheck as crucial elements.
Hour 2: Habs Press Review, Prospect Rankings & 3 Starr Quiz!
Q: Which team gives the Canadiens the best chance to move on to the second round, Buffalo or Tampa Bay?
The hosts lean toward Buffalo Sabres, citing their lack of facing Nikita Kucherov and Andrei Vasilevsky, plus the value of experience in playoff runs, as factors that could help Montreal advance.
Hour 1: Cole Caufield DOES IT AGAIN!!
Q: What is the main reason Caufield is so effective this season?
The hosts point to his speed, vision, and ability to find time and space near the net, which creates high-percentage scoring chances and repeatedly puts him on track for 50 goals.
