Episode 26 – The Habs Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough

Eric — Tue, 04 May 2010 02:15:07 +0000

This is just plain fun. Somehow, some way, this team has taken Montreal by complete surprise and absolutely captured the imagination of the entire hockey world. It seems no matter what they face, they find the way to bounce back from it. Heart epitomized. But now with both Markov and Spacek out, facing the Staal-less Pittsburgh Penguins, they’re up against an arguably bigger challenge than even the Washington Capitals. Can they really keep it going?

Episode 25 – Shiny Happy Habs Fans

So the Habs have held the lead in the series 3 times as long as the Capitals. The goaltending has gone from suspect to otherworldly. The team as a group clearly never quits. The coaching has suddenly gotten more creative and has officially turned into a big edge in the series. Special teams has been incredible throughout. So who do YOU think is gonna win game 7? You might be surprised to hear what we have to say…

Episode 24 – LOUD NOISES!!!

Eric — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 04:36:59 +0000

For our first official Playoff Podcast, we turn up the intensity a few notches and are pretty much at each other’s throats for most of the show. You gotta hear it to believe it. Somehow amidst the fire, we manage to delve into how the Habs lost control of the series so suddenly, who starts in nets for game 4, and who starts on D: O’Byrne, Bergeron, or … Subban?

This one’s a can’t miss if we’ve ever had one…

Episode 22 – Habs Radio Pessah Edition

Eric — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 22:42:01 +0000

On the eve of Passover # 5770, we put together our noggins to discuss some pertinent issues in Habsland. Is Andrei Kostitsyn overrated? Will he still be a Hab next year? If you had to pick one, would it be AK46 or his little bro SK74? What’s wrong with the power play and how can Martin fix it? Most importantly, will Pat manage to avoid eating bread for an entire 8 days this year?

Bargain Bin Deadline Ends, no Big Moves for Habs…And I Yawn…

Not much of a market, in the end, eh?

But let’s review: Paul Mara, Glen Metropolit, Marc Andre Bergeron. I know. Try not to salivate at the GREAT DEALS we had for other teams (’BUT FOR YOU, SPECIAL PRICE’).

A review of our “assets”: MAB is injured, Mara’s been a disappointment. If there were any takers – a fourth round pick, the proverbial bag of pucks, some cookies from Ottawa – PG would have relinquished. Gladly. Metro has been helpful, but did PG dangle him? He could have got some value – especially since Metro won’t be back with the Habs next season – but probably no higher than a second round pick, which we all know PG doesn’t want.

Anything else?

Oh yes…..trading Matt D’Agostini for 20 year old St. Louis prospect Aaron Palushaj?

Why do I get the sinking feeling this one will come back to bite the Habs in the arse? I have more faith in D’Ags than I do in coach’s ability to get the best out of the Habs forward prospects.

D’Ags was injured this year and his minutes shrank when he returned. He had no chance. Best case scenario: The Habs basically press the reset button on D’Ags, go younger and let Palushaj develop with guru Boucher (isn’t it funny how Boucher has become the fixer for this organization’s dudlier prospect picks?)

We’ll see who won this trade in two years, or never.

Bottom line: This trade deadline was for the birds, both for the bargain-bin quality of players who were available (Jeff Halpern, Frederik Modin and Stephane Yelle OH MY!!??!!!), and the feeding frenzy desperation with which the major websites treated this all important day.

Yawn!

As for the Habs – after the way BG’s succession was handled and realizing most of our local roster is several notches below Olympics quality, my confidence in this organization is pretty low. So I’m just happy no really stupid decisions were made rummaging through the bin.

Hey – I’ll take the victories where I can find them.

And I promise to be cheerier tomorrow.
