The core forwards dominated, led by Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Juraj Slafkovsky. What is the offense doing well? Plus a look at the defensive pairings. Is the Habs defense optimized. And after getting pulled in the third against Buffalo, is Cayden Primeau good enough to be the Habs back up?

The Montreal Canadiens have dropped yet another game, this time to the tune of 4-1 to the rival Maple Leafs. The offense continues to stagnate as the top scorers have disappeared. With neither of the top two lines working, why is Kirby Dach still on the wing? Unfortunately, the schedule doesn't stop. Montreal has three games this week and we get you ready for those with our Weekly Forecast.

The Montreal Canadiens have lost yet another game, but we are continuing to draw positives from the losses. In our first segment, we discuss the Habs' play against the Devils and talk about what worked and what didn't, spending some time on Alex Newhook's night. We talked about the top line, goaltending, and more. In our second segment, we single out Mike Matheson, who definitely could have played better in that game, and then Brendan Gallagher, who seems determined to drag the Canadiens back in a positive direction, no matter what. Finally, in our last segment, we have our weekly Friday mailbag as well as our trivia, and as always, our listeners have brought their A-game when it comes to questions.

The Montreal Canadiens sent Oliver Kapanen back to the SHL to finish the season. Did they make the right call? And why was Lucas Condotta the call-up instead of Joshua Roy? Plus, Rumour Round-Up returns! Martin St. Louis leaving before Christmas? Ten teams after Arber Xhekaj? Plus the NHL and the NHLPA are already jockeying for position for their next CBA negotiations. What do the players and owners want in the next deal?

The Montreal Canadiens may have lost in overtime to the Calgary Flames, but they certainly looked better than they have in weeks. We break down the game and our thoughts about in in our first segment, including the play of Kirby Dach, Christian Dvorak, Lane Hutson, Kaiden Guhle, and more. Which players did well? What did we like seeing? Who needs to be better? In our final segment, we talk about how the Habs brought in Marc Bureau to a practice to help the players with their faceoffs, and we talk about the significance of such a move and if it can be replicated for other areas of improvement.

The Montreal Canadiens have lost another game, this time 6-3 at the hands of the Washington Capitals. The Habs did not take advantage of their powerplay chances and Martin St. Louis made some questionable decisions. Christian Dvorak's rough start continued. Is he Laval bound? We end on a fun note, answer your mailbag questions about offer sheets, faceoffs, and what we're most proud of.

The Montreal Canadiens have dropped yet another game in embarrassing fashion, this time to the tune of 8-2 against the Seattle Kraken. What happened and why does it continue to happen? Should Sam Montembeault keep the starting role or should Cayden Primeau start more games moving forward? But it's not all doom and gloom in this one! Ian and Laura spend some time reminiscing about the 2006-07 Habs!
