Last Word on Habs Pod: Home at Last
This week, the guys talk about the Habs two-game set against the Calgary Flames. In what felt like a month between games, the Canadiens had their home opener and looked to keep their hot start going. While the Habs looked like the better team through the two games, as Habs fans know all too well, a hot goalie is a great equalizer. Now it’s time to see how the Habs bounce back after their first regulation loss.
The guys then discuss the Dillon Dube hit on Jesperi Kotkaniemi. Both hosts feel that it should have been a penalty because it was a hit to the head. This leads to a larger discussion of headshots in general and potential solutions to help limit these kinds of hits in the future. One thing is for sure, these hits can’t keep happening.
Then the guys indulge in more hockey rumors. With Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford resigning this week, seemingly out of nowhere, speculation is that the Penguins might be looking to rebuild. So would the Penguins consider moving on from Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin? If so, how much fun would it be to see Crosby in a Habs uniform?
All this and Victor Mete, Brendan Kelly, opening ceremony, cold weather, and much much more!
TUNE IN!
