Habby Hour!

The NHL continues is still suspended as COVID-19 keeps its grip on North America, and around the world. Beth has the night off, leaving Dave and Veronica to speak to Dan Robertson (@DanRTSN) about what they're doing doing during the various levels of lockdown and even manage to talk about some hockey! You'll find some insight about the situation surrounding Romanov, whether Drouin's play at the beginning of the season was an anomaly or not, whether Kovalchuk will return, and so much more! Dan also shares a few stories about Sidney Crosby and his personal takes on a number of things in this week's episode of the Habby Hour! March 23, 2020.

A week ago was a different world, in both sports and our personal lives. The NHL season is suspended as the coronavirus has reached North America. Despite this, the Habby Hour will still be doing episodes, like the one tonight! In a wide ranging episode, the crew speak with Michel Lacroix about the state of the league, the recent news of Molson and the Habs players providing assistance to the part time Bell Centre workers, the passing of Henri Richard, a recap of the weekend the Habby Hour enjoyed in Montreal, and so, so much more! We all need some brevity, and Michel was more than happy to give it! March 16, 2020.

There is a lot to talk about in regards to the Habs this week, with Kotkaniemi's injury in Laval, Tatar's injury while playing against the Islanders, Vejdemo's call up to the big club, and the first shutout to be suffered, yet all of that pales in comparison to the passing of the legendary Henri Richard. We are joined by NHL Historian and Montreal native Dave Stubbs (@Dave_Stubbs) in speaking about Henri and his immense legacy both on and off the ice. March 9, 2020.

The name may be misleading but that's what it felt like! Beth, David, and Veronica all made their way to Montreal to catch two games in Montreal! In this episode the crew talk about their time in Montreal in as much detail as they can manage, even though Dave had little to no memory of getting back to the airbnb one evening.. Lots of shout outs, and surprises, in this one! March 2, 2020.

The trade deadline has come! And gone! And the after a presser from Bergevin it looks like the Habs are staying the course with their current core, making a run for the playoffs, and waiting until the draft and July 1st to reassess where the team is at. Unfortunately, the Habs parted with Kovalchuk (for now) and also with Nate Thompson, both of which will be missed immensely. Matthew Peca and Nick Cousins were also moved, but there was more to it than just that, and we had the great John Lu to talk about it with us! Also... It's our 100th episode! February 24, 2020.

What ELSE were we going to talk about tonight?? Of course, with this episode coming after the game against Dallas, and the exchange heard around Habs fandom, we talk about Gallagher's foray against the refs after the OT loss and the general lack of accountability that officials apparently have in the NHL. After that, we get into the injury news and the anticipated roster updates going into this week's games. The main point here? Shea Weber is back! (?!) February 17, 2020.

Another week of the playoff push in the books as this episode comes after the Arizona game where the time to make history was upon them! We talk about what exactly that means, and a bunch of other stuff. There were call ups! Injuries! And if that is enough adversity for the team on top of everything else that went on this season, well, there it is. But, there was some good news! Jonathan Drouin is back! All this and more on this week's Habby Hour! February 10, 2020.

February has begun, and so begins the busiest month for the Habs. Every game is important, as has been the case for a while now. This episode highlights the previous three games, and the first back to back of the month during Super Bowl weekend! Some major developments have happened! The return of Gallagher, and the status of Sweet Baby Eagle and Cale Fleury. Also, the flu?? All this and more in this episode of the Habby Hour! February 3, 2020.

Habs hockey is back! And, as has been the tale of the tape for much of the season, they have a mountain to climb to make it to the post season. We talk about that, and more, with friend of the podcast Simon Tsalikis! January 27, 2020.

The Habs are getting their momentum back, and that is either a good or bad thing with the bye week taking place this week! Armia returns, and the Habby Hour spend time talking about him and how the team looks with him back on it, but also about Ilya Kovalchuk's continued great play with the club. We also take some time to talk about Sweet Baby Eagle's flying fists in Philly! That and more on this week's episode! January 20, 2020.
