Great episode. Button is a huge addition to the pod

Tony's intros and advertising appear to be taking longer Evey week.

Thought Button was especially sharp tonight.

He's the best guest.

[@MC-rs5tx]

To be honest, he is always top notch ro me! What a great podcast with the best guests ever! Tony knows how to surround himself with awesome people!

[@J-Dogg-wt1hp]

Lane Hutson is the little engine that COULD !!! i.e. the sheriff is smiling with his knuckle's 💪👀👊

[@Raymond-g9o]

24:31 That's why I like Craig Buttons. He can think beyond the old clichés.

[@bolo5190]

Let's not forget that the Canadiens defenseman unit were almost at the top of the league for goals amongst defensemans with other teams, imagine if that was not the case where would the Canadiens would have finished because the Canadiens forwards had a very hard time scoring goals last season. The goaltending wasn't bad for the Canadiens last season, it was just above average. The forwards is the positions where the Canadiens have to be so much better and they certainly have the potential to be.

[@AnthonyD2702]

Need more Craig! Always a great episode with him.

[@michel-oliviersevigny9070]

Wow tony your guest is pure articulated wiser, really did it! Great job! Please keep in the business in both languages, we need you 😊

[@internalmartialpath]

Hi Tony, I've heard you several times lately talking about the importance for the Habs to have a better powerplay to make the playoffs next season. We all know how Lane Hutson will be an important piece to boost up Canadiens's PP. What I wish to see this year on powerplay is Lane Hutson with Arber Xhekaj. I know it sounds crazy but remember 2006-2007, the Habs were ranked no1 in PPG with two left handed def. Sheldon Souray with Markov on his left side had 19 PPG, just behind Selane. I think Xhekaj can do it with Hutson on his left. Xhekaj has one of the strongest slapshot of the league. What do you think?

[@JohnFord-yj1jk]

Awesome show

[@vdac1068]

Habs had one top 6 line last year One PP unit They now have 2 top 6 lines 2 PP units I would keep the Top 6 5v5 trios as PP units Then add Gally as net front in one And Roy or Newhook ( who ever plays 3rd line ) on the other unit DVO, Armia, Anderson, Evans all play PK Every forward gets ice time on special teams, spread out and fresh

[@rfon3158]

I'm glad that Craig Button changed his microphone to a headset with microphone, the sound quality of which is much better. It's more interesting to listen to and understand.

[@BarrieUGirlsRepAScrimmages]

Love it when Button calls out the negatory. He was firing on all cylinders. Tony didn’t need to bring out the liquid pomade. Probably left his fab bottle to a fan in Spain.

[@abclar1]

Congratulations on your radio gig Tony, and say hi to Craig B. in October for me please! Thanks! P.S. I love your podcast!

I am an ex pat who has lived in Europe since Habs won the Cup in '93. Too many so-called pundits (?) in North America underrate Kapanen. Everyone is rightfully excited about Demidov however the other European prospects seem to be overlooked. I have seen Kapanen play at least 20 times and IMO he is at the very least a 3C. He plays a complete 2-way game and has pedigree like the Tkachuk brothers and Iginla. Time will tell if he or Beck is the better player. Lastly, Volokhin played on the same team as Demidov and tore up the MHL so don't forget about him. He possibly could be a 1A or 1B. That would be an incredible tandem with Fowler. Russian goalies have been excelling in the NHL.

[@tonyrochette]

Sick!!!

[@cadottefrederic7716]

I m on with Roy or Neew hook on second line...enterchange..we kind of getting deep gradually

[@bolo5190]

If Owen Beck is Danault's replacement in a way because I have heard some comparisons between the two, then the Canadiens should not trade him for sure. We need some Selke centers/forwards even though I heard that's what the head coach of the Canadiens is trying to teach the players on becoming a great two way forward.

[@mhdgoulding]

For everyone saying Lane is too small, he's only a few pounds less than this year's Norris trophy winner, Quinn Hughes. Let's keep in mind he has THRIVED in the NHL. Lane will be fine and I hope be succeeds and has a fantastic career!

@@CarlMcCann2214 agreed

[@Raymond-g9o]

This obsession with size ... LH will not clear the front of the net like someone like Xhekaj does. He'll protect the front of the net differently. On a couple of occasions last year I saw him won board battles not by ramming the opponent in the board, but by outsmating him with his stickwork. Stop that old school thinking.

[@user-rz7fy1io2e]

Sick!

[@alexprovost8813]

Lane Hutson should watch clips of Markov and Lidstrom and learn from those guys

you all forget about reinbacker. if hutson can play in the goon league that is the ahl.he will be better served from that.than being protected or limited in his playing time . imo.REINBACKER!

Lane Hutson doesn’t need to adjust to the NHL. The NHL needs to adapt to Lane Hutson.

[@pierre-yvesdubreuil9315]

regarding MTL in the playoffs....You can say Tampa, leafs, Boston,etc will steal MTL spot, but they get there beating teams like MTL. So MTL has to beat top teams at least half the times when they meet, because lower tier teams won't beat them top teams most of the times. So it's in MTL hands to carve their way to the playoffs.

[@charles6180]

Totally agree! We will only see progression when Habs start beating these teams. Atlantic division is the toughest so will be a good test for Habs and all the additional young players they will have in the lineup after this coming season with UFAs freeing up space.

[@tylerlussier1896]

Basically the same podcast we have had for the past 3 days on the same topic lmao… Also I’m not worried about Lane Hutson, A bunch of Habs fans were saying “kids too small he won’t make it” after we drafted him and now their tunes have changed lol… Seems lots of Habs fans struggle to use their eyes and they hold their opinions on old clichés…

[@derekjhpeterson3882]

I wouldn't be afraid to put Xhekaj on the wing from time to time. Turn him into a Lucic. He'd be a scary power forward to play against.

[@timfarrell5659]

Owen Beck is ready to replace Dvorak now. MVP of the Memorial Cup. Sound familiar ? He is a face-off wizard and has rising offense. I'm not sure that Fowler isn't ready either. Maybe 1 more year but I don't necessarily buy into goalies needing to be 24-25 for NHL. See puck, stop puck. The guy is big and made of rubber.

I am not worried about Hudson either but comparing him to one of the top 2 or 3 defensemen for about 12 years in the NHL who was also one of the most physical player in the league, a strong hard hitting 205 pounds at a time when the players were not as big as they are today.... not a good compare

For someone who saw him in person with BU, he knows how to use his size for his advantages. Very special player, and people really don’t know that. Also, he is 5’ 9 1/2’’.

Worst podcast host.. Where did this guy come from.m

[@frankhuber9912]

You know, I was excited about the team and how things have been building up -- the prospects, the draft, and now even Laine and Dach coming back -- but then I wake up, it's all a dream. Craig is right, defense, I've been saying it for years now. Marty can't fix it, he and his "concepts" are all a bunch of hype. We're gonna suck again. Only this time, the big prize won't be another high draft pick, the real prize will be a new coach. Business lesson for Mr Kent -- don't hire your friends.

[@AshleyBidensBathTime]

Aaaaand THIS is why you are not a GM😂

[@charles6180]

Marty has been the perfect head coach for developing all the young players and is the perfect person to help Laine get back on track. Give Marty a chance to see how he evolves as a coach when "wins" are expected. To diss him before he has that opportunity is extremely poor take.

[@AshleyBidensBathTime]

@@charles6180 He thinks you can put a team of cats and dogs on the ice and they’ll win the cup every year…..with the right coach of course🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

[@frankhuber9912]

Gorton said there was a pervasive sense of dread, gloom and doom throughout the organization. He said a change was needed to lift the players' spirits, to restore a positive attitude. That's why he brought in Marty. Not a bad move at the time, all things considered. Mission accomplished. But Marty is not the right guy for the next phase of the rebuild. Marty even speculated that he would leave that to the next guy in one of his pressers. Why do you think that so many pundits have suggested that he could use an experienced NHL head coach as an assistant? Because they don't think that he can deliver the results that are finally coming due. The Habs give up a ton of goals and give up more shots on goal than just about anybody else. That's a sign of terrible goaltending or poor coaching. The goaltending hasn't been terrible. Pascal Vincent wasn't hired to coach Laval. He's auditioning for the Habs.
