This Week’s Show
Segment 1: Week in Review, Habs News, League News
- After a tough loss to Detroit in the Habs final home game of 2019, the Montreal Canadiens headed out on the road for the Western Canadian road trip. They bounced back with a pair of wins over the Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames. Rick and Joe discuss the “Road Warriors” Montreal Canadiens.
- In a press conference this week, Marc Bergevin said he would not “mortgage the future” to make an improvement to this team.
- Taylor Hall was dealt to Arizona this week for a package of picks and prospects that was headlined by prospect defenceman, Kevin Bahl. This was a trade that sparked a lot of debate on social media, including amongst Habs fans.
- We check in with the Laval Rocket as they have dealt with some injuries to Alex Belzile and Charles Hudon.
- Michael McCarron will most likely be facing some supplemental discipline for his actions against the Utica Comets.
- After being sent down following his first career NHL win, Cayden Primeau’s struggles in the AHL have continued.
Segment 2: The Big Topic
- “Culture” is a word thrown around quite a lot in professional sports. For a team to be successful for a prolonged period of time, the culture that surrounds that club needs to be a positive one.
