This week, the guys covered a wide range of topics starting with an overview of Carey Price’s excellent month of December which as he put it, must be due to the “holiday spirit”. The guys also talked about the importance Shea Weber brings to the lineup and tore down the absurd notion that the Habs would be better off trading Price and Weber for picks and prospects. The Habs may be in a rebuild but that doesn’t mean they should trade away their pillars. Mike laid down the hammer with a firm reminder of what it actually means to be in a rebuild and that all things considered, the Habs are actually in quite a good spot. They finished things off with the newly named “Media Matters” segment with a breakdown of Geoff Molson’s epic take-down of a particularly annoying columnist.

This week, Mike and John welcomed TSN Broadcast Analyst Craig Button back to the podcast for another stimulating and thought provoking chat.

This week, the guys did what they haven’t done in a long time, if ever - they criticized the Montreal Canadiens. On the back of two consecutive brutal showings at home and a five game losing streak, Mike and John let off some steam. They were candid, stern but didn’t go off the deep end and call for a revolution. They debated tough issues, many of which Habs fans are asking across all social media platforms. In many ways, it was a badly needed therapy session that will likely resonate with all fans in one form or another. Tune in if you’re feeling just as frustrated about recent developments and grasping for answers wherever you can get them. As always, Go Habs Go and don’t forget to download and subscribe!
