In this episode, we discuss...

The NHL and the Montreal Canadiens released their quarter century teams. We give our thoughts and opinions on teams 1 and 2. Should there be any changes or other players to consider? Some have suggested that Subban should be on team 1 and Weber on team 2. Do we agree?

Jakub Dobes has played 5 games and won all 5 games. He looks cool, calm, and collected. Montembeault has had some good games and struggled in others. He is still the Habs number 1 goalie (for now), but with Dobes playing the way that he has, do the Habs have a goalie controversy, or do they simply have a goalie tandem that MSL can finally rely on?

The bottom 6 lines look very different without Emil Heineman and with Pezzetta. Thankfully Heineman is ok from an unexpected accident and that his injury is not long term. Since his injury was announced the bottom 6 has not looked the same. We discuss how underrated Emil Heineman is and his impact to the Habs roster.

While we were recording this episode, the tweets were coming in about the Rantanen trade. Near the end of the episode, you can see our live reaction of the 3-way blockbuster trade between Colorado, Chicago, and Carolina.

We play a quick answer speed round game. No time to think of an answer, just the first answer that comes to mind.

In this episode, we discuss...

Alex Carrier has made a significant impact to the Montreal Canadiens. This underrated and under the radar acquisition has paid immediate dividends and gives the Canadiens a lot of flexibility with David Savard and how they approach the NHL Trade Deadline. Can and will this acquisition go down as one of HuGo's best?

At the start of the season, many fans (including us) were saying that the Habs needed veteran players, needed to stabilize the defense, needed a right-hand shot defenseman, quarterback defenseman, needed a top 6 player, etc. They addressed many of those needs with Laine (return from injury), Lane Hutson and Will Carrier. What is the next immediate need or upgrade?

Looking at the present and a little bit into the future, do the Habs have any superstar players? What does the word superstar mean to you?

Currently, Laine is playing at a 52-goal pace. He is definitely an impact player and if he stays healthy, he can still reach that POTENTIAL to be a superstar in the NHL. You can see that because of his name, style of play, and shot, that players keep a keen eye on him during the game. He has one year left beyond this season and will likely cost a "pretty penny." Do we think that he will be a member of the Habs beyond next season?

Will he and can he still be a superstar? Is Patrik Laine a long-term hab?

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?
