Last Word on Habs Pod: Montreal Canadiens End the Streak (Again)
This week, Connor and Johannes celebrate the Habs ending their (second) eight-game winless streak. Connor thanks a higher power while Johannes celebrates the guy who ended the streak for the Habs.
Then the guys need to end the celebrating and actually discuss the Habs. More importantly, what their plans should be for the rest of the year. While Marc Bergevin has said he will evaluate the state of the team after the all-star break, nothing is stopping our guys from evaluating the team right now. Connor and Johannes believe the Habs will be sellers at the trade deadline. With the draft being in Montreal, the top prospect being a Quebecois and the Habs desperate search for a Quebec superstar, the stars are almost aligned for the Habs here. Problem is other teams have the jump when it comes to their draft lottery odds.
The guys discuss the draft and how the Habs can get a realistic chance at the first overall pick. There are some interesting ideas. Johannes thinks it might be possible while Connor thinks without the first overall pick, it’s a pipe dream.
The guys then talk about the week to come. Neither is very optimistic about the Habs prospects for the week. While the Habs season is likely over, the Habs will need a strong week if they hope to have a prayer to get into the playoffs.
All this and winners and losers, Ask Connor, Alexis Lafreniere, the Habs plans and much much more.
Tune in!
