Habby Hour!

Welcome back contestants!  I mean...  Listeners!  As mentioned on Twitter, we were going to do something a bit different with this episode, and given the recent Jeopardy! craze, we decided to make a Jeopardy! themed episode!  Beth, Dave, and Veronica show their Habs trivia mettle with Ashley supervising the madness.  Who will win?  Listen to find out!  We also had some time to talk about a new signing for the Habs, the sparkling new spooky trade rumor floating around, and even had time for our player of the week...  Matthew Peca!  June 14, 2019.

You wanted to hear about Erik Karlsson?  Well we TALK about Erik Karlsson!  Does he want to come to the Habs?  Would he be a good fit with the Habs?  Can he play on the left with Weber on the right?  Does any of it MATTER?  We discuss that, as well as some other guy named Matt Duchene who might also be maybe interested in possibly playing in Montreal.  Some off season activities were had by some of the Habs and we dive into that, give an update on Niemi and we wrap it all up by talking about our player of the week...  Jordie Benn!  June 6, 2019.

Hey!  Screw you, Pierre!  But, no, seriously, we love you.  Anyway, in this episode of the Habby Hour we explore all of the contracts that were signed in the last week!  There was action both at the NHL level and at the AHL level, while the a certain newly minted Memorial Cup champion and tournament MVP just happens to be a Hab!  We cap it all off with us gushing over our 2018-2019 points leader...  Max!  Domi!  May 30, 2019.

So, what happened this week??  Not a whole lot when it comes to the Habs!  We touch on the IIHF, the amazing Memorial Cup run for the Guelph Storm, and Sesame Street!  We also cast a bit of a hopeful, yet, skeptical eye upon the new standard game time that the Habs are promising their fans and then the possibility of trading for a player like Phil Kessel!  We conclude the episode with our next player of the week...  Carey Price.  May 23, 2019.

We here at the Habby Hour always endeavor to give you Habs news as it comes, and to give you our thoughts on this news!  However, when there's a lack of news, episodes like these happen!  Despite this, we do gather some thoughts in regards to Peter Budaj's retirement, Michel Therrien's hiring by the Flyers, Boston's success in the playoffs, the woes of Slovakia in the IIHF, Team Canada's surprising power play prowess, and we cap this all with a blurb about Brendan Gallagher!  And there's a ton else in this one that isn't quite about hockey.  May 16th, 2019.

How about that Nick Suzuki, huh??  We get as much info as we can about the Habs in this past week together for you and the Guelph Storm are a big part of it!  Tomas Tatar continues his campaign overseas in the IIHF tournament.  We get into some of the more salacious discussions on Twitter this week dealing with the players that do and do not go to play in the tournament, and we also address those rumors of a possible PK return to Montreal.  Aside from that we also have a new Hab!  And we top it off with giving some time to talk about L'Artiste, Artturi Lehkonen!

So how much stuff can we cram into an hour?  Well, listen and find out!  We found out about an minor injury to Jonathon Drouin, another Hab was signed, the coverage of the Leaves was justified (sorta), the women of hockey take a stand, Max Domi is getting lessons, the kids are doing good in the junior leagues, Dale Weise adds a couple and Price got himself a tattoo!  We also highlight the exploits of Victor Mete in this episode!  May 4th, 2019.

The playoffs, and the off season, continue!  A good, decent portion of this episode is dedicated to the Toronto Maple Leafs losing in the first round, again, to the Boston Bruins!  We here at the Habby Hour have a 'bit' of a bias against the Leafs, but it may not be for the reason you think!  Or, at least, not the only reason why you think!  After we revel in their misery, we move on to the Habs!  Who had surgery, who was signed, who do the Habs want to keep, and who is representing their country at Worlds?  Find that out, and our thoughts on Jonathan Drouin on this episode!  (April 25th, 2019)

How is everyone's brackets looking??  Dave can tell you that his is absolutely...  BAD.  We talk only a little bit about the craziness of the first round of the playoffs, and then we get right back into the swing of things with the Habs!  We had a signing the day that we recorded!  We also talk about Nick Suzuki's OHL playoffs, Max Domi's trophy nomination, the Rocket's end of season, but most importantly?  We talk about Tomas...  TATAR!  Have a listen!  April 18th, 2019.

The first week of the off season has started, with all of us watching the playoffs and looking at what may come in the future with the Habs!  Tonight we were without Veronica, so David and Beth go over some of the latest Habs and hockey news!  The Habs' postmortem was front and center, but a major topic was the folding of the CWHL, and the aftermath of what's going on for women's hockey.  We also highlighted some of what was said about Drouin, some unlikely statistics with the power play, and we wrapped up with a tip of the hat to Phillip Danault!  April 13th, 2019.
