Now that the Annual Bass Ackwards Habs Playoff Push has finally ended, we take a moment to review a year that has been everything but boring and turn our attention to the only season that really matters. Enjoy…
Would you rather Ryan Kessler or Tomas Plekanec? Would you rather a great power-play or great 5-on-5 play? Would you rather keep Price and Halak or trade one of them? Most importantly, would you rather fart blue smoke or burp green myst? Okay I just made up that last one, but in case you haven’t noticed, our latest podcast is full of questions that need answers. Listen in…
Joo wanna win in this league? Joo gotta have PIZAZZ - lika dat guy Markov. Joo gotta have GUTS – lika dat guy Moore – he’ss a good guy. Most important, Joo gotta have de yeyo, like dat guy…never mind. Our best podcast yet – seriously. We examine why the Habs are playing so well right now, what it means for the playoffs, and how we stack up to the powerhouses in the East. Damn this season is getting fun all of a sudden.
Rumor has it there’s some dinky tournament going on in Vancouver that a bunch of players need to “attend”… Yeah, and illogicality is a word. Regardless, this break comes JUST IN TIME for nos Canadiens. We talk about the week that was, Martin’s “illogicality”, and the revelation that is PK Subban. Oh yeah, we also say a thing or two about that tournament thingy.
Bob’s out, his assistant GM is now in – will anything change? Do we want it to? Most importantly, was this really Bob’s decision or is it the result of philosophical differences? Now that it’s over, was Bob’s reign a success or failure? What can we expect from Pierre Gauthier? Ya, this one’s loaded. Enjoy….
We’re celebrating the best damn weekend of the season so far! Will it continue? Or will we see the Habs revert back the piece of crap that showed up last weekend? Will the Canadiens miss George Laraque? Will Gainey’s re-shuffling of the young guns hurt or help the team? Will this new-found team aggression last? Will we ever stop asking questions?
Crunch time starts now for the Habs. Question is, can they handle it? We rant about the goal-tending, the GM, and Pat goes OFF on Martin. Oh and we are finally only submitting ONE part per podcast now! Gotta love it.
We give a full assessment of the Canadiens’ first half of the season – deep and thorough. We discuss the Plakanec contract situation and Gainey’s moves so far, as well as half-mark grades to each of the players on the habs roster.
