The Last Word on Habs Pod is brought to you by the Last Word on Sports Network. Co-hosted by the LWOH Montreal Canadiens team manager Connor Lapalme and Johannes Wheeldon, it is a weekly look at the Habs and features guests from the Last Word on Sports community and others. Join us for smart takes, controversial opinions, and news you can use about the Montreal Canadiens.

Last Word on Habs Pod: Montreal Canadiens Messaging

Spring break is over and the guys are back in the studio for a new pod. The guys first pay their respects to Habs and NHL Hall of Fame legend Henri Richard. The 'pocket rocket' passed away at the age of 84 after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. He will be missed.

Then Connor and Johannes take a deep dive into the Montreal Canadiens messaging. The guys were, like most people, were confused and frustrated by Marc Bergevin's post-trade deadline press conference. The Habs GM spent a good portion of the press-conference contradicting himself.

Building off this, the guys take a look at the Habs messaging through the Bergevin years. Unfortunately, the messaging hasn't been consistent. Johannes hits us with some messaging theory to help explain why the Habs are failing at delivering a strong message to their fans. The transactional model of communication suggests that information is sent and received simultaneously through noisy channels - each level involves a frame of reference, level of experience, and expectation. It's a very interesting way to analyze the Habs messaging and expectations they deliver to the fans and media.

All this and the weeks that was, the week to come, Bergevin's apology tour, Claude Julien's vote of confidence and much much more.

TUNE IN!
