This Week’s Show
Segment 1: Week in Review, Habs News, League News
- The Canadiens clued up their trip to Western Canada just before Christmas. Last week they lost 4-3 to Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers, but they bounced back with a resounding 6-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets. Rick and Joe discuss the successful trip, players who impressed and things for the Canadiens to work on.
- The injuries continue to mount with Joel Armia joining the injured list. Luckily, Victor Mete has returned to the lineup and Jesperi Kotkaniemi has been cleared for contact.
- In a loss to the Toronto Marlies last night, Keith Kinkaid surrendered three goals in less than a minute of play and received some mock cheers from the Place Bell faithful for his efforts.
- As we approach the end of the decade, Rick and Joe hit the rewind button and reminisce about their favourite moments from the 2010’s!
Segment 2: The Big Topic
- It’s the most wonderful time of the year! That means it’s time for the World Junior Hockey Championships! The Montreal Canadiens are well-represented at the tournament with big names like Cole Caufield and Alexander Romanov who have garnered a lot of attention from Habs fans, and lesser known players like Jordan Harris and Mattias Norlinder.
- The guys point out prospects from other teams that have caught their attention in the early going of the tournament, particularly those who belong to division rivals of the Canadiens.
