This Week in Habsland

In this week’s episode of the podcast, we dive in on the Habs first week of the season including discussing Kreider on the first line, Mike Matheson’s struggles, and Nick Suzuki being awesome. We also give our league-wide predictions including who will win the Stanley Cup.

This episode kicks off our 5th season of Habsland with a look at the 2026-2027 Montreal Canadiens season. We make a ton of predictions, we discuss the Habs roster deployment, and we finally address the elephant in the room.

Thank you for checking us out this season, go Habs!

On our final episode of the season, we discuss Ivan Demidov and Jakub Dobes’ contract extensions along with covering a bunch of NHL moves including Leo Carlsson’s offer sheet, San Jose getting weird, and lots more!

Unless something wild happens, we'll be off until September! Enjoy the summer!

We cover the Montreal Canadiens draft, talking about the NHL's newest villain, Gleb Pugachyov, as well as the other players and the philosophy of filling playoff holes for the Habs.

We also get into some other teams' draft picks at the top, and discuss the crazy trades that have happened over the past week.

Sam Montembeault? Brendan Gallagher? Top Six Forwards? Defense?

We dive into this and many of the NHL musing as the Canadiens close in on the 2026 NHL Draft...

ps - got a lot of dumb/fun trades in here

This week we take a long look at the Montreal Canadiens offseason and answer some big questions, including: What will the Demidov contract look like? Who stays and who goes among the Habs UFAs & RFAs? Can Arber and Florian be wingers on the same line?

We also give out the rest of our Habsland Awards, including game of the year, goal of the year, performance of the year, and many more.

On this week’s episode we try to consolidate our thoughts on the Habs season since it ended, talk about the near-trade for Matthew Knies, complain about Dylan Larkin, and hand out our Habsland MVP.

The Montreal Canadiens' season has come to a decisive end against a more put together Hurricanes team.

Through this playoff run, the Canadiens have learned some invaluable lessons. On this episode we cover Game 5, the series, and the run as a whole, as well as the lessons learned along the way.

Offseason episodes coming soon!

Thank you for listening this season,

Jordan & Bryan

In our Game 3 post-game pod, we discuss the relentless Carolina pace and surprising physicality and what the Canadiens can do to turn the tide (beyond shooting more pucks on net).

After a rough Game 2 loss to the Hurricanes, the Canadiens must regroup and find their game again as they return home for Game 3 on Monday.

We discuss what it will take for the Habs to do that, and we also dive deep on Game 2.
