Habby Hour!

What ELSE were we going to talk about tonight?? Of course, with this episode coming after the game against Dallas, and the exchange heard around Habs fandom, we talk about Gallagher's foray against the refs after the OT loss and the general lack of accountability that officials apparently have in the NHL. After that, we get into the injury news and the anticipated roster updates going into this we...

Another week of the playoff push in the books as this episode comes after the Arizona game where the time to make history was upon them! We talk about what exactly that means, and a bunch of other stuff. There were call ups! Injuries! And if that is enough adversity for the team on top of everything else that went on this season, well, there it is. But, there was some good news! Jonathan Drouin is...

February has begun, and so begins the busiest month for the Habs. Every game is important, as has been the case for a while now. This episode highlights the previous three games, and the first back to back of the month during Super Bowl weekend! Some major developments have happened! The return of Gallagher, and the status of Sweet Baby Eagle and Cale Fleury. Also, the flu?? All this and more in t...

Habs hockey is back! And, as has been the tale of the tape for much of the season, they have a mountain to climb to make it to the post season. We talk about that, and more, with friend of the podcast Simon Tsalikis! January 27, 2020.

The Habs are getting their momentum back, and that is either a good or bad thing with the bye week taking place this week! Armia returns, and the Habby Hour spend time talking about him and how the team looks with him back on it, but also about Ilya Kovalchuk's continued great play with the club. We also take some time to talk about Sweet Baby Eagle's flying fists in Philly! That and more on this...

The new year and decade seem to be terming around! The Habs took the past weekend by the horns and it continued into Monday night as they start a streak in the OTHER direction. They cannot suffer another skid in any way, and the Habs are doing everything they can to remain in the race for the greatest trophy in the land. To talk about how the team is going, and to go deeper into the Ilya Kovalchuk...

Happy New Year! Unfortunately, it could be happier for les boys as the past couple of weeks have been unkind, putting the team into a questionable position for the playoffs, as anyone can see if they're following David! He believes that the season is lost, while Beth and Veronica keep hope for a turn around. Which is not without merit! Bergevin has been busy trying to alleviate the injuries that k...

Everyone here at the Habby Hour wish you had a great holiday! The previous week was marked with a strong win against the WInnipeg Jets on Monday that led to the holiday recess. But, the Habs were back on the ice this past weekend for a back to back in Florida against the Bolts and the Panthers, and!.. Well. What happened? The crew talk about the games, what went on, and also veered a little bit in...

The last game before the holiday break was quite a show! The Habby Hour crew talk about the recent tilt against the Jets, and also about the rest of the games from the past week in Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. Old faces return! New worries surface! Yet when it was all said and done the Habs return home with more than a few treats. Aside from hockey, the crew talk about their plans for the holi...

For starters, we amend and finally make mention of a monumental shift in the Habs season TWO weeks ago when the winless streak ended! We also finally give due diligence to the captain's night, and share some thoughts on that. However, back to more recent business, the Habs suffered yet another loss against the Red Wings, a team that can be said is not doing all that well this season, insofar that...

After just a few days we are back with another episode to cover some of the news that's circulating around the Habs! David was able to watch the Habs play the Rangers at MSG, and crew go into some of the details of that game. Some roster moves were made once again, including our usual suspect Charles Hudon, and a tip of the hat is given to a couple of the young prospects on an international achiev...

Surprise!! The second episode of the week! Recorded right after the game against Colorado, we had a LOT to talk about even without that awful hit on Kotkaniemi. We wish are Sweet Baby Eagle the best! And a speedy recovery! The reason that we recorded on this night is that we had a guest on, and it was none other than Paul Campbell! Paul is the go to guy when it comes to the nuance and technique of...

A week that will not be remembered fondly by the Habs faithful. What is the team to do now?? And what exactly happened?? The winless streak has extended to eight games, and is now starting to enter historic territory. Ghosts of seasons just in the past are creeping into the mindset of a fanbase that we know can be stirred into a frenzy at the smallest miscue. The Habby Hour crew attempts to dive i...

What a week! To forget! If you're a fan. But, if you're a player, it's one to remember and learn from! Since a stunning lose to the Rangers many questions have arose. Should Bergevin make a move? Does Price make too much money? Are the kids a bust? Are the Habs a playoff team? We ask (most) of these questions, and more, to a special guest straight from RDS! Francois Gagnon! November 25, 2019.

All that we had to talk about going into Monday were the games against Columbus (hm..), Washington (yay!), and Jersey (what???). Everything was in order, but then, tragedy struck and two VERY familiar names had to go under the knife! Jonathan Drouin and Paul Byron have to undergo surgery, and we talk all about it with none other than TSN's voice of the Montreal Canadiens, Bryan Mudryk! Listen in t...

Suffice it to say, there was a bit of controversy stirred up over Don Cherry's comments on Hockey Night In Canada. These comments, and the subsequent actions taken, are spoken about in tonight's Habby Hour! We also take time to thank both our Canadian and American troops, and then get into the good week that the Habs were having! Milestones reached, zebras stampeding, and more! November 11, 2019....

A month into the season and there are some things that are making us wonder when it comes to the Habs. In particular the penalty kill, the play of Paul Byron, Drouin's ascent, and how one of the Habs' top prospects will impact the team. With Kotkaniemi out with a groin injury, Ryan Poehling is getting his first shot with the club this season against none other then the Bruins. To break all of this...

What a week it's been! Full of downs, and ups! The Habby Hour crew welcomes TSN690's Simon Tsalikis back to talk about the games against the Sharks and the Leafs. Highlights include the penalty kill, lowlights include the penalty kill, and the medium lights also include the penalty kill! Aside from that, we nod our heads to Drouin's continued excellence, take a minute to talk about the d-corps, an...

The Habby Hour crew is back and there is a LOT to say about a LOT! With nearly 10 games played in the regular season for the Habs, Dave, Beth, and Veronica talk about the emergence of Drouin, the souring of the power play, the cratering of the penalty kill, the whereabouts of Byron, the firsts for Mete and Suzuki, and the general dramatic opera that the Montreal fanbase is known for. Have a listen...

It's finally here! The season starts with the Habs on the road against the Carolina Hurricanes in what was a VERY entertaining 65+ minutes of hockey! This time it was only Veronica and Dave around to talk Habs, but they go over the opening roster, some surprises during the game, and a bit of a surprise in Laval. Aside from that, Dave's rancor towards Carolina is in full swing before his vacation....

Operating on a modified schedule the Habby Hour brings you the conclusion of the preseason! One that shows the Habs finishing it with a positive record on this Saturday night. We talk a little bit about the games in the past week but mostly we focus on the last game of the preseason against the Senators. Aside from the games, we have some thoughts on some suspect media coverage from the usual susp...

Hey, guess what... The Habs are (almost) playing real hockey! We have three (THREE) pre-season games to talk about on this episode of the Habby Hour. But, more than just the games we finally get a look at the different squads that the Habs have put together. And aren't they impressive! To help us break down some of the good stuff we've seen this week, we had TSN690's Simon Tsalikis on with us! He...

The past week brought us a slew of new Habs stuff to talk about since the season is (almost) here! The past weekend had the Habs rookies squaring off against other rookies at the Rookie Showcase in Belleville, and David takes some time to talk about that while the rest of this week's episode focused on the golf tournament, some of the radio chatter today, and a look at Kotkaniemi's summer regime b...

Just as the name says, the Habs are coming back from Montreal! Training camp is upon us! The Rookie Tournament is this weekend! Preseason is less than two weeks away! And??? The regular season is less than a month away! The Habs have been busy! Some of the team actually hit the ice this morning with a practice, and there were some interesting names to mention! We dive into that, the updated app fo...

We get sprinkles for weeks, then all of a sudden a deluge of news! So much that he didn't get to cover it all! Despite that, we had some exclusive insight from John Lu of TSN! He gave us a few thoughts on Jonathan Drouin's upcoming season, Claude Julien's remarks at Drouin's golf tourney, and some Heavy Metal talking points! Aside from that, our player of the week is none other than Jeff Petry, do...
