Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 34 ratings
  • 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: Could The Habs 2C Spot Come From Within?
Q: What are the Canadiens' best options at 2C given the current roster and development track?
The discussion suggests Montreal should consider both internal development and potential upgrades, weighing whether a player like Capitan (Capitan) can contribute more or if an external acquisition is warranted, with a preference for a cost-effective, fit-driven move rather than a major overpay.
Gentille: No Concern over players wanting to leave Habs!
Q: What are your thoughts on the McDavid-Dreisaitl coaching change and whether Edmonton can turn the corner this season?
Gentille notes that the coaching change signals urgency and a desire for a different dynamic, but emphasizes that the impact will depend on roster support and how the team adapts to the new coaching style, rather than relying solely on the coach.
Gentille: No Concern over players wanting to leave Habs!
Q: Now, when you look at that trade in retrospect, was it a smart gamble for Bill Guerin to take? Were the Wild that close to potentially competing in the Western Conference?
Shaun Gentille suggests the trade can be seen as a reasonable gamble if it yields multiple future years of high-level play, but cautions that the overall roster still needed to be built around and that the long-term fit and window matter, especially with other aging players on the team.
Marc Denis: What To Expect From This Habs Team This Season!
Q: Marc, what does a successful season look like for the Montreal Canadiens this year?
A successful season would mean the Canadiens finish in the top three of the Atlantic, reflecting strong regular-season performance, solid consistency, and the ability to contend for a playoff spot even in a tough division; it would also require effective integration of new pieces and reliable goaltending.
Hour 4 - Tuesday 09/29/26
Q: What is your verdict on Kirill Marchenko's trade to the Toronto Maple Leafs?
Button says it's a win for the Leafs, giving Toronto a better-matching forward profile and adding a player who can score and drive play, which should help Matthews and Nylander, while Columbus gains salary-cap flexibility.
