Last Word on Habs Pod: Montreal Canadiens Return to Action<\/h2>\n

On this week’s episode, the guys reconnect after a few months in quarantine, so its time for a little catchup.<\/p>\n

The conversation then shifts to hockey where they discuss the very interesting draft lottery results. One of the play-in teams now has a chance to win the number one overall pick. It’s a big year to land that pick as consensus top pick, Alexis Lafreniere is considered to be a generational talent. The Habs are one of those teams with a 1\/8 chance of landing the Quebec native, while his ability is not in question, the guys wonder if it’s fair to thrust the type of pressure he will face in Montreal on an 18-year-old.<\/p>\n

Then the guys talk about the return to NHL action, coming August 1st. They discuss how to responsibly return to action and if that is even possible. Players, coaches, and the league all need to play a pivotal role in keeping everyone safe.<\/p>\n

Part of the return to play and the ‘NHL playoffs’ is the Montreal Canadiens playing the Pittsburgh Penguins in a best of five play-in series. What chances do our hosts think the Habs have of making it past the Penguins?<\/p>\n

All this and Max Domi<\/a><\/strong>, the state of the world, COVID-19 contingencies, journalistic integrity, and much much more.<\/p>\n
