Habby Hour!

The trio is back at it this week with your Habs news! Will the boys ever leave Lehkonen alone? What's this about Teasdale? The Petrys did WHAT? Lehky LOVES Pleky! Sweet Baby Eagle misses hockey and there are some talented fans among the Habs base! All this, and excessive talk of travel plans for the Habby Hour this upcoming season! Montreal? Vancouver? Florida?? Find out if we end up near you! All...

Veronica is back! And we have a guest join us! Sean Campbell from TSN690 joins us on the podcast from a brewery to talk Habs hockey with us. We concentrated mostly on the d-corps, but also veered into other areas as well, like, the Atlanta Thrashers??? A lot of content about Weber (obviously), some updates on Plekanec, and also a little bit on Suzuki! There is also some words said about our dearly...

We're back! Unfortunately Veronica was not able to join us, but we did have a guest! Calling in all the way from the United Kingdom was Caitlin Berry! She is an ardent follower of the prospect pools around the league, keeping tabs on the upcoming draft, and beyond! She shared her insights on the recent Summer Showcase and the Hlinka Gretzky Cup. Can you name who stood out to her? Listen to find ou...

Ever wanted to know a bit more about Jordan Weal? This is the episode to listen to! We highlight him as our player of the week, and talk about the sole piece of news to come out of Habs land as another player is signed! We take some time to talk about the Kraft Hockeyville game that the Habs are taking part in once the season gets under way, but for the most part? The off season is definitely here...

Another week has passed in free agency and despite us mentioning it on Twitter, there was ZERO movement from the Habs!  So, what did we end up talking about?  Some supposed drama between JJD and Alzner, the coaching staff in general, what the absence of Shaw means for the Habs, but most importantly...  Our player of the week!  None other than Jesperi Kotkaniemi!  July 18,...

Nothing happened!  Then Twitter went down!  And then???  The Habs Finnished.  Two players were signed for contracts today, leaving only another couple of RFAs to sort out before the start of the season.  We can be sure that this is not the last of Bergevin's moves as the off season continues.  We discuss this, and, disclaimer, a LOT else that doesn't have anything to...

It's the first week of free agency and WHAT a week the Habs had!  For better or for worse, depending on how you're getting your information!  Some Habs have left, and new Habs came in, all of which pales in comparison over the main story of the week with Sebastian Aho.  Listen in to hear our takes on (most?) of the deals that the Habs made so far this week!  July 5th, 2019.

With the draft behind us we can all start looking forward to the camps during the summer, and eventually, a new season of Habs hockey!  As such, this is the beginning of the third season of the Habby Hour and we start it off with a guest in Sean Gordon!  One of the gifted writers from The Athletic, Mr. Gordon shares some of his insights on the draft and some behind the scenes moments in...

Welcome to the season finale!  This is our second episode this week and we wanted to bring on an expert regarding the draft.  Thankfully, Grant McCagg was able to accommodate us!  He is a former scout for the Montreal Canadiens and the head of Recrutes.ca where he sells his draft guide to the needy masses!  Mr. McCagg took our questions and gave us some much needed insight on t...

As mentioned on Twitter the Habby Hour will be releasing two episodes this week, and we have special guests for each one!  The first guest for the week is a staple of the Montreal Canadiens' presence at home.  The experience would simply be not the same without him.  He brings a wealth of knowledge to the podcast, and has some interesting thoughts on the trajectory of the team! &nbs...

Welcome back contestants!  I mean...  Listeners!  As mentioned on Twitter, we were going to do something a bit different with this episode, and given the recent Jeopardy! craze, we decided to make a Jeopardy! themed episode!  Beth, Dave, and Veronica show their Habs trivia mettle with Ashley supervising the madness.  Who will win?  Listen to find out!  We also ha...

You wanted to hear about Erik Karlsson?  Well we TALK about Erik Karlsson!  Does he want to come to the Habs?  Would he be a good fit with the Habs?  Can he play on the left with Weber on the right?  Does any of it MATTER?  We discuss that, as well as some other guy named Matt Duchene who might also be maybe interested in possibly playing in Montreal.  Some off s...

Hey!  Screw you, Pierre!  But, no, seriously, we love you.  Anyway, in this episode of the Habby Hour we explore all of the contracts that were signed in the last week!  There was action both at the NHL level and at the AHL level, while the a certain newly minted Memorial Cup champion and tournament MVP just happens to be a Hab!  We cap it all off with us gushing over our...

So, what happened this week??  Not a whole lot when it comes to the Habs!  We touch on the IIHF, the amazing Memorial Cup run for the Guelph Storm, and Sesame Street!  We also cast a bit of a hopeful, yet, skeptical eye upon the new standard game time that the Habs are promising their fans and then the possibility of trading for a player like Phil Kessel!  We conclude the episo...

We here at the Habby Hour always endeavor to give you Habs news as it comes, and to give you our thoughts on this news!  However, when there's a lack of news, episodes like these happen!  Despite this, we do gather some thoughts in regards to Peter Budaj's retirement, Michel Therrien's hiring by the Flyers, Boston's success in the playoffs, the woes of Slovakia in the IIHF, Team Canada's...

How about that Nick Suzuki, huh??  We get as much info as we can about the Habs in this past week together for you and the Guelph Storm are a big part of it!  Tomas Tatar continues his campaign overseas in the IIHF tournament.  We get into some of the more salacious discussions on Twitter this week dealing with the players that do and do not go to play in the tournament, and we also...

So how much stuff can we cram into an hour?  Well, listen and find out!  We found out about an minor injury to Jonathon Drouin, another Hab was signed, the coverage of the Leaves was justified (sorta), the women of hockey take a stand, Max Domi is getting lessons, the kids are doing good in the junior leagues, Dale Weise adds a couple and Price got himself a tattoo!  We also highlig...

The playoffs, and the off season, continue!  A good, decent portion of this episode is dedicated to the Toronto Maple Leafs losing in the first round, again, to the Boston Bruins!  We here at the Habby Hour have a 'bit' of a bias against the Leafs, but it may not be for the reason you think!  Or, at least, not the only reason why you think!  After we revel in their misery, we m...

How is everyone's brackets looking??  Dave can tell you that his is absolutely...  BAD.  We talk only a little bit about the craziness of the first round of the playoffs, and then we get right back into the swing of things with the Habs!  We had a signing the day that we recorded!  We also talk about Nick Suzuki's OHL playoffs, Max Domi's trophy nomination, the Rocket's en...

The first week of the off season has started, with all of us watching the playoffs and looking at what may come in the future with the Habs!  Tonight we were without Veronica, so David and Beth go over some of the latest Habs and hockey news!  The Habs' postmortem was front and center, but a major topic was the folding of the CWHL, and the aftermath of what's going on for women's hockey....

This was it, the last game of the season against the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have been nothing but trouble for us for the past two years!  However, tonight they had to deal with our 1st Round pick from the 2017 draft...  Ryan Poehling.  And he made QUITE the night for himself!  This was also the last game that Bob Cole would be calling, and what a fitting end to a legendary ca...

The playoff race is still on despite what many may think!  The Habby Hour crew go over the most recent game against Columbus and where the Habs are in the standings.  We also go over some of the recent news that we haven't been able to talk about yet in regards to Shaw, Price, and Tatar.  We also take a big chunk of the episode dedicated to Dave's experiences at the Fantasy Camp! &n...

Hi!  It's another Dave and Veronica episode and they talk about the recent woes with the Habs!  It seems as if the Habs have not been playing to their strengths the past 2 or 3 weeks, and we talk about why that may be!  Also, what's the playoff picture look like for the Habs?  Is there a chance to make it in still?  What else does Shaw have to do to motivate the team. &nbs...

It's our birthday!  Sorta.  On March 10th, 2018 we recorded the first episode of the Habby Hour which came at the tail end of one of the most disastrous seasons in the history of the Montreal Canadiens.  Now?  Things are looking up!  In order to further commemorate the occasion, Ashley (and Angus) were able to join us!  With the original crew back together we spent mo...

This is our 50th episode!  The 'dreaded' western road trip has started after games in New York and Pittsburgh!  The Habs took on the Kings in LA, and it marked the first game where Kotkaniemi was a scratch.  This meant that we were able to get a glimpse of Jordan Weal, and what he brought to the game against LA.  To say the least, it was quite a game!  Veronica and Dave ho...
