If the Canadiens can't find a second line centre and Kirby Dach isn't healthy, what will they do? Ian Boisvert and Laura Saba discuss the latest rumblings on Dach's health and availability for the start of the 2025-26 season. Is Kent Hughes simply managing expectations? All of the Habs seem to be practicing a lot. Why are they impossible to keep off the ice? And finally, Sam Montembeault may be the only Quebec-born starting goalie in the NHL this season.
