The Build

By: Ian Boisvert
  • Summary

  • 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.
