Listen "Montreal Canadiens face PRECARIOUS week that could SHATTER Habs momentum or BOOST playoff hopes"
Episode Synopsis
Montreal Canadiens face a pivotal week as Laura Saba and Ian Boisvert break down a stretch of winnable games against the Ottawa Senators, Winnipeg Jets, Toronto Maple Leafs, and St. Louis Blues. With playoff implications looming, can the Habs capitalize on struggling rivals, or will familiar pitfalls derail their momentum? Goalie rotations, injury returns, and the psychological pressure of “precariously” easy opponents all come under the spotlight.The conversation heats up around the future of Montreal’s blue line, with Mike Matheson’s extension locking in much of the top four while questions swirl about prospects David Reinbacher and Adam Engström. Which current defenders could find their role in jeopardy, and is Alex Carrier's recent criticism unfair given his expanded responsibilities? Get all the insights on roster decisions, player development, and the Canadiens’ path forward in this action-packed episode.00:00 Building Canadiens Defensive Future05:33 Canadiens vs. Senators: Mental Battle06:28 Senators' Power Play Decline14:39 Future Defense Core Challenges17:58 Montreal Canadiens Defenseman Development25:44 Carrier's Role and Struggles26:41 Joe Veleno Criticism Explained30:28 Trivia: Habs vs Sens Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!DripDropRight now, DripDrop is offering podcast listeners 20% off your first order.Go to https://dripdrop.com and use promo code LOCKEDONNHL.GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.
