In this episode, we discuss...

The Montreal Canadiens have been on fire lately. They have won 4 of their last 5 games. All four wins were against the last 4 Stanley cup winners. These were games that most people and analysts expected them to lose. Currently, they are one point away from the final wild card spot and are officially in the mix. For those hoping for a top 5 pick in the upcoming draft this recent surge spells disaster. For those that were hoping that the Habs would take a step forward this season, are excited and eyeing that last playoff spot.

Juraj Slafkovsky is still putting up points, but the eye test has not matched the production. Some Habs fans are really starting to lose their patience with him. Some seem to forget how young Slafkovsky and that he is actually younger than Lane Hutson (by 1 month). At only the age of 20 years old, is it fair to get on Slafkovsky's case? Has he undeservingly become the new whipping boy?

Habs goaltender Jakub Dobes is making history. In a very small sample size, he has looked incredible. Currently, he is 2-0, has allowed only 1 goal in both of those games VS two of the best teams in the NHL. While it has only been 2 games, should the Montreal Canadiens continue to search for a veteran goalie? Or perhaps Monty is now the veteran goalie?

In this episode, we discuss...

The Montreal Canadiens traded Justin Barron to the Nashville Predators for veteran defenseman Alexandre Carrier. Carrier has already played 2 games with the Habs and you can already see his impact. We give our thoughts on the trade, Carrier, and Justin Barron's time with the Habs.

Jake Evans has been on fire lately. As it stands right now, Evans is 4th on the team in scoring. It's a contract year for Evans. Should the Habs re-sign him or trade him? If the Habs were to re-sign him, what would a contract look like?

Sam Montembeault played in back-to-back games. Nowadays it is very rare for a goalie to play both games in a back-to-back. Clearly, MSL and the coaching staff have lost confidence and Cayden Primeau (rightfully so). What's next for Primeau?

Patrik Laine has scored 8 goals in his first 9 games with the Montreal Canadiens. All 8 goals came on the powerplay and since coming back from his injury the Habs powerplay looks completely different. We haven't seen the powerplay with this much movement and excitement in years, maybe decades. Are we witnessing the best Habs powerplay in our lifetime (35-40 years)?

In this episode, we discuss...

Whether the Habs are really in the mix or not. Laine has not looked out of place and did not waste any time by scoring a pair of goals, but even with Laine in the lineup, are the Habs still a lottery team or an in "the mix" team.

There has been a lot of attention on Head Coach Martin St. Louis. Some people questioning his decisions (or indecisions). Do we still believe that he is the guy to continue developing this young Habs team? What to do with Dach and Slafkovsky?

The Habs have played about 30% of their games for the 2024-25 season. At this point, should we hope that they finish bottom 5 or push hard for a wild card spot?

We discuss all that and more.

Question(s) of the week: Barring any possibility of a trade, what would you do with Kirby Dach? What would you do to get him going?

In your opinion, is MSL still the guy to develop this team during this rebuild?
