Evan Bouchard getting a possible snub for the Norris Trophy, Oilers roster debate, and the Habs going down 1-0 against the Sabres in their best-of-seven series offer Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne lots to discuss...
To get things going, Victor Findlay, English play-by-play voice of the Canadiens on TSN 690, connects with us to describe what went down in Game 1 against the Sabres. Additionally, how did the team get past the Lightning in seven games? What's been working for this up-and-coming Montreal squad? Any current concerns with the team? What are the vibes around town?
Then, Reid and Jay deconstruct the Norris nominees to debate why Bouchard was left out of the final three. What did he have to do to be a finalist? Was his defensive game so bad that members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association couldn't have him on their ballot? What if he has a similar season next year?
They go on to put the character, desire and mould of the Oilers roster under the spotlight. Who are the Orange and Blue missing from their team? Since the Oilers entered their Stanley Cup window, who has been a character-type player: gritty, willing to do anything, who can adjust?
