It's been two weeks since our last episode and, uh-- The Habs haven't been doing that great! Despite a convincing win tonight against the Red Wings the Habs are currently mingling near the bottom of the league standings with a 3-8 record to start the season. Caufield has been sent to Laval, Pezzetta was called up as reinforcements, Perreault is injured, Edmundson is injured, but a sliver of hope came with a small announcement regarding Carey price and his possible return... Sooner rather than la...

Hockey is back! But, someone has to tell the Habs that. With their worst start to a season since 1995 the Habs are already on the ropes and questions abound! What is going on with the power play? (AGAIN) The penalty kill? Why can't the team score? However, there are many good things as well, like Drouin scoring 2 goals so far! Full crowds at the Bell Centre! The adventures of Dave! What's wrong with the United States! BETH IS BACK. And so much more!

This is the last episode before the start of the regular season! After an interesting waiver grab and a couple of cuts the roster was finalized! Dave and Veronica talk a bit about the final two preseason games and the cuts leading up to today. Also, and most importantly, Carey Price going into the NHLPA/NHL Player Assistance Program. We are not sure of the specific reasons why, but can do nothing but support Carey while he seeks help.

The preseason is drawing to a close! The last two games are slated for this week, which means that the regular season (a REAL regular season) will be starting next week!

The preseason is well underway! Though, the Habby Hour crew (including Beth!) took some time to acknowledge the indigenous lands that each of the hosts are speaking from. This is to commemorate Orange Shirt Day that is coming up on September 30! From there, David spoke about Isaac Asimov being a terrible human being, the podcast free wheeled on some different topics before finally landing on the Habs! Both preseason games were discussed, as well as the injuries to Caufield, Hoffman, and an updat...

The title is a bit misleading since Dave and Veronica get into a bit more than just that! Jonathan Drouin spoke about his hiatus from the team with Chantal Desjardins and Renaud Lavoie, the Habs announced their Respect and Consent Action Plan, the rookies faced off twice against the Baby Sens, there's a PTO coming to the main training camp on Wednesday, and more! (Including some Emmy Talk and other streaming goodies).

Well, well, well, well, WELL... The gang is back and (mostly) everything that happened in the off season is condensed into one hour of catching up! For those that were waiting for our return, we're sorry that it took so long! We have contracts, training camps, trades, whatever went on the past two'ish months is in here, including that thing with North Carolina. We're back!

The gang have decided to go on a bit of a hiatus! Beth, Dave, and Veronica still feel strongly about the Habs' decision to draft Logan Mailloux, and feeling psyched about the team has been difficult. As such, they do spend time talking about the further aftermath from the draft, and some of the offseason moves that the Habs have done so fun. When will the Habby Hour be back? Not sure!

It is a new season of the Habby Hour, and unfortunately it has to come at a time where the organization is being scrutinized, and rightly so, for their pick at the draft.

A whole lot of news dropped last week, from the benign, to the CRAZY. Seattle's Expansion Draft has become a hotspot for Habs fans as it has been revealed that both Shea Weber and Carey Price have been left unprotected. Beth and Dave talk about all of the ins and outs of what this means, and also some other news! Remember that Ducharme and Richardson were given extensions! That seems like so long ago. Also, a big congratulations to Luke Prokop, who is the first player on contract to an NHL team ...
