Great episode guys . I was so impressed with seeing some legitimacy on the back injury of Lidstrom . It was getting so tiresome listening to alot of small podcast just spewing garbage on Lidstoms back injury info on a basic medical report . Those paticular small podcast like to fly off any gossip or articles having no credible or factual proof for their comments . But influence alot of their followers with total bs . I was so happy to see you actually interview a back specualist to support what the actual injury entails . I know the injury well and when i played full contact sports in my day i had that injury and it didnt stop me from finding a program to strengthen the back and i was fine back during playing days . So i knew the venum they were spewing was false information. But they attempt to sway their followers to support the player they want or try to influence habs pic. Which i m sure habs management is smarter than that. So i half to commend the credibility of your show . Well done getting a proffessional back Dr. To address it . And to exactly deflate the fulse commentary being promoted by those paticular podcast channels. It just verifies their lack of credibility of their podcast. However i marvel that they get the followings they obtain running off pure false info and their click bait. I would hope that fans of habs following them would want legit info not gossip and false info. So great job i was so impressed with you doing that with the dr. It was nice to hear him give the facts on that injury and say he would nt avoid drafting Lidstrom because of that , where its not to the level of an injury to warrent not drafting him. Just as i knew from having that injury myself. But to here him say the truth thst he ld draft Lidstrom and wouldnt have that report hinder the habs from drafting Him. For me Lidstrom the perfect fit and Demidov would be second choice. But i would nt go for another dmen with that pic. Too much of a log jam already at d in habs land. I ld trade it away before drafting a d men this time. Its Lidstrom or Demidov or its a bust . But great job getting an expert to address the actual facts about the injury. I love a show that has integrity. Keep up the good work.

Pullups don't stress your lower spine! If anything, they ease pressure off a herniated disc. Now skating? That's not good for this injury. Skating and playing full contact hockey? That's at the extreme end of the worst for this injury. Unless he lets team doctors access all his medical reports, I'd stay away from Lindstrom with a high pick. Too much risk. If he didn't miss pretty-much half his D season to this and the other injury, I'd say he's a top-5 pick without question. And if he did play and kept improving the last half, he'd be challenging for #2. IMO.

Problem is that nobody can confirm the actual injury

YAY! FourNations in Montreal! Congrats to Hutson & Fowler for the invite to the Combine! Wait...What?... KH??? Okay...I'm completely confused with what he plans, or says he plans on doing now. Geez. 🙄 Don't touch Savard. No way. 👿Nope! Prospect talk- Still a difficult one for me. There's soooo many and I honestly wouldn't even be able to comment on how many you guys cover. Oof...Question of the week...I'm torn but IF we could get a really good forward, I'd go with that option first. IF we could get a better denfenseman than any available good forward, then I'd have to reluctantly say that would be my choice. Thanks guys! Great show. 💙🤍❤
