This is it! The last episode before the draft in what has become a hot topic of discussion for Habs regarding just who they will pick 1st overall! The crew delve a bit into the draft and some other Habs related news, but truly, everyone is waiting for the draft to finally happen! Beth, Dave, and Veronica will be in Montreal this week so be sure to follow along on their socials as they take in the draft live in Montreal!

It happened again. A former Montreal Canadien scores the Stanley Cup game winning goal. Years ago it was Lars Eller for the Capitals. Now? It's Artturi Lehkonen for the Avalanche! The crew takes time to congratulate and talk about Artturi, and also his father Ismo! As for the Habs, we say goodbye to Luke Richardson and Sean Burke, and then get to a little bit of draft talk. Then, the episode is capped off with some thoughts on the United States Supreme Court and the January 6th Committee! Someth...

For those that have been listening to the Habby Hour since the beginning, you know how much Shea Weber means to us! So, it goes without saying that there were some choice words used to describe some folks' reaction to the trade, and what his presence meant to the Montreal Canadiens.

Okay, we're actually back since Dave didn't mess up the recording! So, Dave and Beth go over the events from the past 2 weeks, and there was actually some major news! MSL will be the Habs head coach until 2025, Chris Wideman got himself a new contract, and a surprise move from the Habs brought Captain Clutch herself, Marie-Philip Poulin, into the organization as a player development coach! All that and more in this week's episode!

Another shorter episode for tonight! The news is slow coming, but one major announcement was that Martin St. Louis will be behind the Habs bench for the next three season! Until 2025. This was met with acclaim by most fans, and there seems to be plenty of reason for it! Also, Hughes had a presser yesterday and gave an update on Carey Price, and the NHL Combine is on! The crew discuss all of this, and Kate Bush, in tonight's Habby (almost) Hour!
Jun 02, 2022•42 min•Season 5Ep. 35
The crew are back after another week off because of DAVE. But, uh, unfortunately there isn't a whole lot to talk about! Anderson and Armia continue to do well at the IIHF worlds, and the Rocket COULD advance to the semi-finals in the AHL playoffs! It's a short one tonight, hope you enjoy!
May 26, 2022•35 min•Season 5Ep. 34
We're back! And the season is over for the Habs! A surprise dominate win against the Panthers concluded what was one of the worst seasons since... When, World War II? Or something like that?? There is plenty to talk about! Awards, medical updates, and a little of what the off season might look like. But, most importantly? The Habs have secured the first overall pick for the draft IN Montreal! How about that!

This week has been one of the most difficult of all for Habs fans, hockey, and sports in general. The passing of Guy Lafleur was felt by so many, on so many different levels. The crew (including Beth!) reflect on Guy's impact on the Habs, share some stories of him, and remember the great for what he was. And then a hard turn is taken to talk about how Musky Twitter has become lately before turning right back to Habs news! It's the last week of the regular season! FINALLY.

The Habby Hour is back! Unfortunately, there is literally only one victory to talk about in the past TWO weeks. It seems that old habits are creeping into the Habs style of play. Is that an indictment on Martin St. Louis? Has the shine finally wore off on his ability as a coach? Or, is this all just part of the process in a season that has been lost since November? The crew talk about this, and also about the return of the face of the franchise, Carey Price. The end of the season is coming fast!...

This past week of Habs hockey has been rather lackluster despite an OT win against Tampa over the weekend. Tonight was underscorred by a loss against the Senators as familiar issues plague the team that Dave makes sure everyone knows about. Special teams! Despite this, Caufield and Suzuki continue to shine while a number of players were given contracts! The Hughes era continues.
Apr 06, 2022•1 hr 7 min•Season 5Ep. 30
We have the whole crew together with a recap of the past week! Mostly losing, however, the Habs did manage yet another win against the dauntless Maple Leafs. As one does. However, Dave goes on the rant on the most recent game against the Florida Panthers for, well, reasons. There's some talk about the Habs honoring indiginous nations with some beautiful sweaters, a long pondered player finally signing, and it's all concluded with the slap heard around the world!
Mar 30, 2022•1 hr 6 min•Season 5Ep. 29
Dave and Veronica do their best on tonight's episode, summing up the Habs moves leading up to and on trade deadline day, and also following a spirited bout against the Bruins! Suffice it to say, the roster looks very different from the team that reached the Stanley Cup Finals, and there WILL be more changes in the off season. Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton are making their own team, and that was evident as Ben Chiarot and Artturi Lehkonen were dealt, among others! Spend some time with us to catch u...

Some exciting games in the past week that show how much different this Habs team is now compared to what was going on in the beginning of the season! Before, it seemed as if all hope was lost if the Habs were scored on first, and the game completely out of reach if they went down by two. But, now? You can expect the group to keep playing until the very end. Just ask Rem Pitlick!
Mar 15, 2022•1 hr 5 min•Season 5Ep. 27
The MSL continues to hold as the Habs deliver a pretty normal week! Going 2-1 in the past 3 games with a weird tilt against Winnipeg followed by riveting come backs against Calgary and Edmonton. We cover the games, some new staff, another set of unfortunate injuries, and the general gossip around the NHL in this episode of the Habby Hour!
Mar 08, 2022•1 hr 9 min•Season 5Ep. 26
In a RARE episode of the Habby Hour where there is hardly ANY bad Habs news! Les gars are on a 5 game win streak for the first time since 2017 (or so) and show no signs of slowing down. Aside from the wins and the hiring of a new assistant general manager, there is not a ton to talk about. So, naturally our hosts cover everything from Kanye to Ukraine in tonight's episode!
Mar 01, 2022•1 hr 7 min•Season 5Ep. 25
It started rocky, but the Habs are flying now! Martin St-Louis' concept hockey seems to be clicking for the club since they are finally looking like they are playing coherant hockey. Two wins in extra time led to a routing of the vaunted Toronto Maple Leafs with all of the right gears churning. We have the full crew on for this (actually) happy episode of the Habby Hour!
Feb 22, 2022•1 hr 10 min•Season 5Ep. 24
In a season where the news has been a lot of the same, this past week had a lot for the crew to chew through! Veronica was unavailable but Dave and Beth dive into a coaching change, a new goalie, and most currently the trade of Tyler Toffoli. That news seems to be the biggest shock, despite the fact that a hall of fame legend in Martin St-Louis is now the bench boss for the Habs, and the Hamburgler himself is now a netminder!
Feb 15, 2022•1 hr 4 min•Season 5Ep. 23
With the Habs on their bye week the previous week there were no games to speak of! So, the Habby Hour crew put some emphasis on Suzuki's role in the NHL All Star weekend, some minor updates to the Habs roster for the games coming up this week, and of course, all of the fun that the very nice folks in Ottawa are having at the expense of the cities citizens!
Feb 08, 2022•1 hr 5 min•Season 5Ep. 22
The Habs won only 1 game in the month of January. Which actually matches the amount of games that they won in December, too! Further to that point, the Habs have won 8 games total, and they are now half way through the season. There is little good to report, be it with the Habs, or even in Canada. The crew do what they can with what they got!
Feb 01, 2022•1 hr 11 min•Season 5Ep. 21
It has finally happened, the start of a new era began last week with the hiring of Kent Hughes as General Manager of the Montreal Canadiens! Unfortunately, this only resulted in limited success on the ice as the Habs went 1-1-2, with yesterday's game against the Wild exclamating a poor performance even in the midst of a poor season.
Jan 26, 2022•1 hr 8 min•Season 5Ep. 20
The Habs, well, still are not good! But, some regular members of the roster returned to the ice today as the Habs try to get themselves back to an NHL standard of play. Unfortunately, some bad news injury wise, coupled with curious officiating, is making an already tough season all the more frustrating.
Jan 18, 2022•1 hr 17 min•Season 5Ep. 19
With a lack of play on the ice due to COVID postponements the gang looked to news off the ice, and it was substantial! Chantal Machabee takes over Paul Wilson's post as Vice President of Communication in the Habs organization to critical acclaim! Of course, there were other things to talk about, especially regarding a recent draft pick. All that and more in this week's Habby Hour!
Jan 11, 2022•1 hr 9 min•Season 5Ep. 18
The whole crew is back for the first episode of the new year! Unfortunately, the past week was yet another let down as the Habs struggled to even ice a team due to a number (16!!!) of players going under COVID protocol. We also saw the cancellation of the World Junior Championship and, well, what one can only call a series of opinions as Angela Price decided to do a QnA and someone DARED to ask her about vaccinations! With that in mind... Get vaccinated, maintain social distance, and mask up. Ha...

In this peculiar episode Dave takes on the past two weeks of Habs news the best way that he knows how. Alone! Both Beth and Veronica have been unavailable the past two weeks, and instead of having another week without an upload, Dave decided to do a recap. This is the last episode of 2021, and despite the Habs' woes we wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year!
Dec 28, 2021•31 min•Season 5Ep. 16
The Habs woes continue, where they have yet to record a win in regulation so far this month. The feel from the players is that the season is lost, and many are looking to what next season holds. A bright spot in the past week, despite the result, was the effort against Tampa. Yet, a lack luster performance later against the Blues leave many of us wondering just what we'll see this coming week.
Dec 14, 2021•1 hr 7 min•Season 5Ep. 15
Jeff Gorton speaks to the press, and the Habs' haphazard season continues, but now add injuries! Yes. More of them. There's some Habs talk, and then a bit of Sopranos and what exactly weebs are in this week's episode.
Dec 07, 2021•1 hr 5 min•Season 5Ep. 14
The Habs drop yet another game, but the story of the week isn't the Habs record, but the movement in the front office. Marc Bergevin, Trevor Timmins, and Paul Wilson have all been relieved of their duties. Jeff Gorton assumes the role of Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations, and we assume that there are more changes to come!
Nov 30, 2021•1 hr 6 min•Season 5Ep. 13
Three games in the past week which included a close one, and two blowouts that went in either direction! The Habs managed their 5th win over the weekend in what is looking to be a very long season. Caufield returned to the lineup, Poehling shined, Primeau had his first start of the season, and Montembeault his first win! There may be some help on the horizon for the Habs as well, since Byron and Edmundson are getting closer to returning to the lineup. Honestly, perhaps there is more good news th...
Nov 23, 2021•1 hr 4 min•Season 5Ep. 12
Another week, another near disaster for the Habs. Despite earning 4 points in 4 games, the continued awful play of the team is costing them bodies as now Jake Allen is injured, leaving the goalie tandem to Sam Montembeault and Cayden Primeau. To highlight the bad, Jeff Petry may need some talking to. To highlight the good, Nick Suzuki is leading the team in points. With all of that, the first half of the episode has Dave recounting his trip to Bowling Green and all of the fun that getting back w...
Nov 16, 2021•1 hr 5 min•Season 5Ep. 11
There is not a whole lot that can be said about the state of the Habs that has not already been said. Listless efforts, momentum from wins not carrying over, injuries, suspect lines, silence from Bergevin, silence from Molson. There have certainly been better days for the franchise. Despite this, we talk about what news is going on currently, and then Dave talked about a bunch of new movies.
