Habby Hour!

What an absolute pleasure it is to have none other then the voice of the Montreal Canadiens himself, Michel Lacroix! We catch up with him on how he has been doing with the PGA tours, life during COVID, and of course, the Habs! Some surprising little tidbits are scattered throughout the episode as we dive into the trades in the offseason, the draft, and what the overall future of the Habs is looking like going forward. To sum it up? Monsieur Lacroix is excited as are we! Also, we find out who his favorite Petry is, listen in! October 26, 2020.

Last month there was a bit of a scare on Habs Twitter when one  of the best people to cover the Habs, John Lu, announced that he had been battling COVID-19. Since then, we, and so many others, were relieved to see him return to cover the draft and free agency. And we were overjoyed when John agreed to come on the podcast with us tonight, We spent most of this episode talking to him about his experiences with COVID-19, and how he is feeling now. Suffice it to say, the virus is very real, and we all must continue to be mindful of the restrictions that we have been living with since this all started, and adhere to them. The latter part of the episode does get into some Habs talk where we discuss the all important Gallagher extension, and get into the details as to why Allen was given a contract extension. October 19, 2020.

Finally! A new season of the Habby Hour! This comes whenever the draft happens, and of course due to COVID the calendar of the NHL season was changed, which means that OUR calendar changed! Either way, with the draft and free agency happening in one week there was a WHOLE lot to talk about, and we had none other than Grant McCagg with us to help navigate all of the news and draft picks made by the Habs. All you need to know about Toffoli, Anderson, the new crop of players in the system and more can be heard here. Enjoy! October 12, 2020.

It's the season finale FINALLY! And we have a VERY special guest on with us! Unfortunately, we do not talk a whole lot about the all important draft tomorrow, but we do talk about the very important Nick Suzuki with none other than Mrs. Superior Propane herself, Amanda Suzuki! Nick's mom joins us for a full hour talking about what it's like raising an NHL player, how it all started, what the trade from Vegas was like, the playoff experiences at Guelph and Montreal, life during COVID and a whole lot more! You won't want to miss this one! October 5, 2020.

You get a contract! And you get a contract! And you get a contract! That was the name of the game with this past week of Habs news, some AHL level contracts being locked up while the BIG news comes from Jeff Petry as he will be with the team for another 4 years! Since that is Veronica's favorite player, she was very happy! In other news, Dave got his account suspended, bad Dave! But, you can find him @MetalDave02 on Twitter just in case you were wondering. Aside from that, there is some brief words about Norlinder, Caufield, and what the next NHL season MIGHT look like. September 28, 2020.

Tonight's episode starts off with scary news regarding John Lu, a repeat guest on the podcast and a dear friend. His Twitter account (@JohnLuTSNMTL) has a thread of his condition after having been diagnosed with COVID-19 and how he is doing now. The gang then air their grievances about COVID-19 and how so many people are still not taking it seriously. Hockey-wise, there's only so much news regarding the Habs! Beth provides an update regarding prospects playing over in Europe, there's talk about Edmundson's contract, and take a look at who made the NHL's All-Rookie team! September 21, 2020.

Wow!! We had Tara Slone on! It was great! The gang +1 talk about Tara's career, her interviews on Top of HER Game on Sportsnet, how hockey and other sports are reacting to inclusion and #BlackLivesMatter, and a ton more! Could you believe that we fit in some Habs talk as well? You can't miss this episode! September 14, 2020.

Has it finally happened? Did the Habs solve their backup goalie situation? The crew break down the latest trade for the Habs which might dictate how things will go for the rest of the off season. We touch on this, the Vejdemo loan, and take some time to talk about the Executive Inclusion Council which a member of the Habs' brass is a part of! And, expected, there are some unexpected twists here and there! September 7, 2020.

With the Habs out of the playoffs, the crew make due in talking about what they can, and what happened in the past week? Well! A lot of stuff that Alain Vigneault certainly doesn't know! Beth and Veronica take the reins in talking about his attitude towards the #BlackLivesMatter movement and so, so much more. Particular emphasis is given to the strikes across the sports world as the NBA, MLS, and WNBA had games postponed in order to show solidarity with those that are grieving. The NHL were noticeably not a part of the movement, but joined in the following evening. Eventually, there is Habs talk as questions are taken from our Twitter followers! Thank you all! August 31, 2020.

NICE. We're back for the 69th episode of this season of the Habby Hour! NICE. What better way to celebrate this momentous occasion than with having one of the most elegant dressers in hockey join us? John Lu is back with us to talk about the bubble (nice), the Habs (nice), Domi trade rumors (nice), what's up with Poehling (nice), and MORE. Have a listen! NICE. August 24, 2020.
