It's been a big week for the Habs. Big in spite of having all their games cancelled due to COVID protocol. That was the first big news of the week for the Canadiens and the NHL. The Habs had their big three-game set against the Edmonton Oilers and their game against the Ottawa Senators postponed. So far things have not progressed any more since the initial news that two players were positive for the virus.

As if this wasn't enough big news, the NHL had a fire to put out. Senior referee Tim Peel was caught on a hot mic saying something everyone already knows. He was caught saying he was looking to make a call against the Nashville Predators to make up for an earlier call. It was quite shocking to actually hear it said, even if NHL officiating in general shows the fans that's how they operate. The fallout was interesting, to say the least.

Not to be outdone, Habs GM Marc Bergevin made some moves this week, including making a trade for Eric Staal. Staal was one of the bigger names being made available so it was a bit shocking to see Bergevin make the move. Then again, the price was quite favourable, and to make it work with the cap, he got the Buffalo Sabres to retain some salary. He followed that up by signing top prospect Cole Caufield to an ELC. The question becomes: are the Habs done? One this is for sure, nobody can take Bergevin at his word.

All this and Johannes' hockey school stories, Marc Bergevin's believability, and much much more.

TUNE IN!

What up Internet? Last Word Soccer Club Radio is back. This week, Matt and Dan get stuck in with the nation team. We discuss the USMNT Olympic Qualification campaign post-group stage and ahead of the critical semifinal on Sunday. The guys break down the USMNT senior team's 4-1 win over Jamaica. 

Then we talk about the MLS schedule, the unbalanced conference and non-conference play, and more. 

Alex is back with another week of content. Today, he has Silver Seven Sens writer and Internal Budget podcast host Brandon Maki join him! The two take a look at the Ottawa Senators goaltending issues with Matt Murray and Joey Daccord going down. As well as what they expect from Filip Gustavsson and Anton Forsberg going forward while the Ottawa Senators goaltending gets healthy.

From there, they shift to the depth of the roster and Alex comments on Clarke Bishop, including what he has brought to the team so far. With that, Brandon touches on Austin Watson as well and the two discuss his impact on this team. Finally, they take a look at what players they expect to move at this trade deadline and why it may indeed be a quieter deadline than in years past for Ottawa. 

Alex and Chace are back for another week of content! This week was rather slow with news items. However, the Buffalo Sabres did fire their head coach. As well, Jordan Binnington signed a brand new deal. The guys give their thoughts on the extension and why the Blues may not have had much of an option given what their window is currently. 

Next, they take a look at some NHL Awards. With most teams being halfway done the season, the guys wanted to look at who they think should be in the discussion for several NHL Awards. These include normal awards such as the Norris, Hart, and Vezina. However, the guys also include some other awards such as the most improved player, best offseason addition, and more. These awards are made-up ones that cover different areas normal awards maybe don't. Give them your thoughts on who they missed or got right either in the comments or on Twitter!

The Habs have finally broken the curse! Both, actually. The Habs secured their first extra time victory over the Vancouver Canucks, a shootout win! To top it off they did in their reverse retro jerseys. So the week isn't all bad. The issue is the Habs can't string wins together.

The guys then talk about the recent struggles of Shea Weber. The guys wonder if the Habs captain is playing hurt or if the condensed schedule is wearing out the Man Mountain. Johannes things the Habs need to find a way to limit his minute to keep him fresh but Connor questions who on the Habs defence can take those minutes. One thing is certain, the Habs are going to need their captain at his best if they want to make any noise in the playoffs.

All this and trade talk, jersey talk, 3 on 3 strategy, Carey Price, and much much more.

TUNE IN!

In an important week for the Habs, they failed to come through. It was more of the same, unfortunately. Poor play in overtime, limited offense, and defensive breakdowns that left the goaltending out to dry. With the season (almost) in the balance, the Habs need to find a way to get back on track, or at least get more consistent play. One thing is for sure, the Habs recent play has both our hosts with a sense of deja-vu. 

The only thing left to do is add to the roster. It won't be easy with the Habs salary cap situation, but that doesn't mean they have no options. It will be interesting to see when (or if) Marc Bergevin makes a move. If he looks outside the North Division, there is a 14 day quarantine period, so it may be in his best interest to move sooner rather than wait until the April 12 trade deadline.

All this and Johannes musical talents, the point of fighting, COVID talk, and much much more!
