ANOTHER PATHETIC PODCAST

This week on Another Pathetic Podcast, we break down The Nature of Things: Life Without (Nick, not David) Suzuki.The Habs blew a 3-1 lead and lost 4-3 in overtime to San Jose. Then they bounced back with a 4-1 win in Chicago by playing smarter, more conservative hockey. Nick Suzuki's 546-game streak is over, and he's out 7 to 14 games with a hand injury. We talk about how Kapanen filled in, Beck's strong play, the Dach debate, and Dobeš's rough week in our Pathetic Failure of the Week. We also cover the team's penalty problem and give our predictions for the Heritage Classic in Winnipeg.Like, comment, share and subscribe.

The Canadiens are winning, but not convincingly. One regulation win so far this young season. The Brothers Grim break down Montreal’s blown leads, overtime heroics, and slow start. They ask whether the team is really taking a step forward, because without some significant change, the Montreal Canadiens will end the season with fewer points. More importantly, is this a Cup team?

The brothers also debate possible trade targets, including Dylan Larkin and Ryan O’Reilly, and revisit the roster decisions that still shape the Canadiens today. Candid Habs talk, with plenty of frustration and panic to go around.

The Canadiens are only five games into the season, but The Brothers Grim already have plenty to say. In this episode of Another Pathetic Podcast, they take stock of Montreal’s uneven start: a win over Toronto, an overtime loss in Pittsburgh, a tough night against Carolina, a blown lead against Nashville, and a chaotic shootout win featuring three disallowed goals.I know it's early but... They dig into the Canadiens’ struggling power play and penalty kill, their tendency to stick with a plan that isn’t working, and the roster questions piling up early. They debate the impact of Guhle’s return, whether Jacob Fowler deserves to stay with the big club, and what the team still needs at second-line center and on the right side of the defense.There are bright spots, too: Zach Bolduc’s promising start, a strong line with Danault and Texier, and the calm Fowler brings in net. The brothers also weigh in on Dach, Newhook, Kreider, Matheson, and what the Jayden Struble trade means for Montreal’s crowded defense.Is this just early-season overreaction or a sign that the Canadiens need to adapt before the standings catch up with them? Then there is the "pathetic failure of the week". What could it be?#anotherpatheticpodcast#Habs #canadiensmtl #montrealcanadiens #NHL #hockey #anotherpatheticfailure

Hockey culture is rotten at the core, and this episode shows exactly why the cover-ups, privilege, and violence, often keep repeating. In a break from tradition, we won't be talking about our Montreal Canadiens. In this pod, we break down the issues, we touch on the 2018 World Junior Team Canada, the controversy that is Oilers' hiring of Stan Bowman, Mike Babcock and the signing of Alex Formenton, and why "due diligence" and "process" sound a lot less convincing when no one will actually explain what they mean.We connect the dots between hockey, fraternity culture, and the Cornell incident, exposing the same hierarchy, secrecy, and bystander silence that let abuse stay hidden. We dig into Rick Westhead's "We Breed Lions", the documentary "Code of Misconduct", and more importantly, a 2023 University of Brandon study that identifies six toxic themes in hockey culture, including commodification of players, fear-based obedience, alcoholism and drug use, sexism, homophobia, violence, and racism.The conversation also unpacks the slush fund Hockey Canada used to make assaults (S.A.) disappear, the disturbing logic behind keeping accused players in the system, and why "he's got a promising career ahead of him" is a fantasy that always centers the abuser instead of the victim.We then widen the lens beyond hockey, comparing the culture to other institutions that protect their own, from universities and youth groups to politics and the broader fascist mindset that thrives on ignorance, hierarchy, and entitlement. Along the way, we examine the role of white privilege, the cowardice of sports media, and the way fans are asked to swallow moral rot in the name of winning.Essential listening if you care about sports, accountability, misogyny, power, and the systems that keep excusing abuse as tradition.#hockeyculture #nhl #hockeycanada #cornell7#rickwesthead#webreedlions#codeofmisconduct#habs #anotherpatheticpodcast#canadiensmtl #oilers #blackhawks #alexformenton#carterhart#epsteinclass#fascism

Indeed we are back and so are our Canadiens are back. The Brothers Grim are breaking down what stood out at training camp, the new faces in Montreal, and the ongoing debate over the team’s second-line center. How about that Marchenko deal. We also preview the Habs’ season-opening matchup against Toronto (which Brother Michael will be attending), discuss the penalty kill and roster depth, and share their predictions for the game.

Most hockey teams struggle to find size, grit, and identity in their bottom six. The Brothers Grim (aka, Mr. Big, aka, Patrick Sansnom) and noted NHL outsider, Michael Sansnom, dive into the underrated art of building a formidable, truculent forward core revealing exactly how the Montreal Canadiens might transform their bottom six into unplayable monsters.

In this episode, we focus on the free agent forwards who could reshape the identity of a team—players like Alex Tuck, Anthony Mantha, and Mason Marchment—offering tactical insights o their style, affordability, and fit. You'll discover why size matters and which under-the-radar options could be game-changers for our Habs. We break down the rumored trade and free agency targets, comparing contract values, physicality, and the nuanced differences between a team’s need for size versus skill.

Finally, we discuss how Arber Xhekaj could change roles with the team (something that is not unprecedented) and how that could help the Habs in the long-run.

Recorded June 14th, so some things have changed, but life got in the way. Remember, this ain't our day job. Thanks for all the support!

In this episode, the Brothers Grim unpack why the Matthew Knies trade between our Habs and the Maple Leafs fell apart and what it signals about team priorities (it's a 2C and not a winger!). We'll talk about the importance of a reliable, truculent second-line center and who might fill that void this summer. And let's not forget the truth about free agency signings and how veteran bottom-pair defenders can solidify your defense without breaking the bank. What are the options for the Canadiens and the HuGo brain trust? . From secret negotiations to bold draft moves, we've got the insider insights to clarify the chaos.

Turns out, they went like a gentle breeze. Many fans were content to celebrate wins, but the real winners are those who understand why their team fails, right? In this eye-opening episode, the Brothers Grim pull back the curtain on the Montreal Canadiens' latest playoff collapse, revealing the stubbornness and overlooked flaws that could doom their future. We're talking to you, Marty. If you're tired of surface-level analyses and want to understand the true reasons behind a team's success or failure, this is your must-listen. At least, that's what we say. Noted NHL Outsider, Michael Sansnom and his brother (aka: Mr. Big) give our take on the final series, but much more about the season as a whole and what comes next for our Montreal Canadiens, HuGo and Marty.

Like most Montreal Canadiens fans, the Brothers Grim are desperately searching for answers after our team’s series of setbacks... missed shots, sluggish defense, and a coaching approach that seems stuck in old habits. Is it fatigue? Lack of experience? Or is there a deeper issue holding them back from making the leap? The Brothers dive into the gritty realities of Habs playoff hockey, exploring what’s really going wrong. Is it all over or is there a chance?

Most Montreal Canadiens fans are nervous. Brother Patrick, aka Mr. Big, offers a bold perspective: this series isn't over yet, and the Canadiens' biggest challenge is in their own hands. With a trail of underwhelming performances behind them, a MUST-WIN game four could turn their playoffs around, but only if they play to their potential. #habs #anotherpatheticpodcast #montrealcanadiens #montreal #canadiens #nhl #nhlplayoffs #playoffs#stanleycup #carolina#hurricanes#carolinahurricanes#canes#easternconferencefinals
