The boys are back for a consecutive week for the first time in ages and they had plenty to say. They talked about the Leafs, the Bergevin era compared to the direction that the current Habs brass is taking, Drouin, who is expendable with the trade deadline coming up and whether we need to bring in a new goalie or two. Plus, Mo introduced his plan to bring in a new feature on social media by taking advantage of Twitter Spaces so the boys can chat with their fellow Habs fans during games! Stay tuned for that.

The band is back together and they were ready to go! Given the lack of air time and the trouble getting Mo, John and Mike all in the same (virtual) room at the same time, there was a lot to catch up on. Since the last episode, Martin St. Louis has taken full effect as the Habs head coach, there has been a five-game winning streak, Tyler Toffoli is now a Calgary Flame and both of Montreal's shining young stars Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield are playing on a different planet. All that to say, they didn't shy away from what they think about moving on from certain players for the greater good, thoughts about trade rumour situations and random updates about Carey Price... skating.

This was probably the most chaotic week in Montreal sports in the last decade as Marc Bergevin, Trevor Timmins and Paul Wilson all lost their jobs. The guys had their say on all of it, including what they thought of the hiring of Jeff Gorton, whether they believed in Molson’s two-man approach and who they thought would make a good candidate for the vacant GM job. They also discussed Bergevin’s legacy and whether he left us in a better position than when he started.

Coming off of a big 6-3 win over the Nashville Predators, the guys sat down to discuss what a win like that means to them given the inconsistency of this season so far. Marc Bergevin sat down for a series of interviews and mentioned a few things that included subjects that didn't sit well with Mike, John and Mo. They also talked about the Montreal market seeming to be against any sort of dramatic changes, including a "re-build" of any sort. Or, would they be for big changes at every level at this point?

The boys let their feelings be heard once again this week on everything going on with the 3-9 Habs and tried desperately to shift gears and talk about other problems besides what they believe is coaching. Cole Caufield has been assigned to Laval, Carey Price is on his way back, the Canadiens can't seem to find anything to get them going in any of the three zones on the ice and Mike, John and Mo found themselves questioning what exactly it's going to take to turn this all around. And, while things aren't exactly great in Habsland, some fun was had as they sent out a reminder to their loyal listeners that they appreciate them tuning in given the state of this team.

If you’re a Habs fan and you come across this and ask yourself should this be the podcast I actually listen to, the answer is a resounding “yes!” 

Listening in with Mike and John every week is being a part of a healthy conversation that you always take something away from. They’re realistic, rational and relatable. It’s absolutely criminal that they’re allowed to do this for free.
