Last Word on Habs Pod: Habs Home Opener
On this weeks episode, our hosts discuss the Canadiens home opener. How did the pre-game ceremonies stack up to other home openers? Was it necessary to also include a tribute to the 1993 Habs?
Connor and Johannes then discuss the actual hockey. The home opener looked like an all too familiar scene for Johannes, while Connor saw some reason for optimism. Both hosts agreed that Saturday night’s win against Pittsburgh was an entertaining watch. The real question was why did Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby look so disinterested during their shootout attempts? Johannes examines this especially, drawing from his extensive beer league experience.
After discussing their winners and losers this week (Connor doesn’t cheat this week!), Connor and Johannes talk about the Habs pending roster issues. They have too many bodies and not enough roster spots.
All this and the Habs power play issues, who will play with Shea Weber and why Connor is so upset with the Laval Rocket and more.
TUNE IN!!
