On this episode of The Sick Podcast, Pierre McGuire joins Tony Marinaro following the Habs win over the Panthers.

I could listen to Pierre talk for hours

[@scottm9010]

A kid I’ve watched a ton live is Filip Mesar and I can’t wait to see him on the habs power play. Elite playmaker.

[@rickroberts5401]

Always enjoy listening to Pierre...

[@filterlessbear9250]

Glad you mentiones Evans! Really underated player. Watched him in the Nashville game live, and he stood out. He was probably with Suzuki was the hardest working Hab that night!

[@michaelb1621]

great show! SICK!

[@farmerlalande]

Can we really count Suzuki as too small when he's listed at 212 lbs ? There's quite a bit of muscle on those bones 44:51

[@jimpaek]

Yeah, Suzuki is not a small player. He doesn't get tossed around.

[@damsquare-nh4md]

And Newhook is 200 lbs. Not a small guy.

[@alfonsofata4673]

Great show

[@WormsFTW100]

People forget Evans started the 2021 playoffs playing left wing on our first line. VERY underrated player.

[@lorneduberry5524]

Tony my man you said that Cooley was going to have a bigger impact than Slaf. Do you still think that?

[@CheetosBaccarat]

I wonder if Pierre would have predicted that he would be fired by the Sens, not even 1 year there. 🤔

[@filterlessbear9250]

Best way to defend him is have him learn to fight. If he gets angry and beats the shit out of someone really badly itll send the message. If it still continues put Florian on his line!

[@SorcRogier]

last time I checked Suzuki weighs over 210lbs. That is not small

[@powers1500]

Eiserman or Iginla, both should be available to Montreal at 6th or 7th...also Yakemchuk or Parekh which could become Montreal's futur best defenseman. Pretty hard to say which one Montreal will pick ???

[@realbeetlejuice]

Montreal will pick 10-11

[@darrenpinard1658]

Forget protecting Slafzilla, we have to protect Lane.

[@alanhannah5113]

Your kidding???wtf..screw Lane..Skav is wayyy more important my friend

[@darrenpinard1658]

@@alanhannah5113chill, I mean it’s way easier to protect the guy that’s 6’4 225. We need a plan of action for the tiny goal child.

[@alanhannah5113]

@@darrenpinard1658 got it 👍

[@petermelville5524]

Pierre's talk about reviewing the good/bad re-Anderson is useless. He's seen it on video before. He needs a mental-performance-coach like Armia and Primeau used. They should impose it, he is an employee. Unfortunately they have to hold on to their buy-out for someone like Gallagher. Suzuki is a #1A or B center, terrific player, but as the Captain, uncontested. Sam Bennet has always been very tough and talented.

Josh Davies 6th round pick by Florida, playing for Portland Winterhawks, kids a future NHLer

[@FooFahFoeFum]

In 2023/2024 the NHL average height for FORWARDS , I REPEAT FORWARDS is 6’-1” & 198 pounds. The 16 Montreal Oct 2023 roster & prospects forwards listed below, average is only 5’-10” & 180 pounds. Richard 5-10/163 … Pitlick 5-10/168 … Gignac 5-11/170 … Guindon 5-10/170 … Mesar 5-10/174 … Farrell 5-9/175 … Mysak 5-11/175 … Caulfield 5-8/176 … Wideman 5-10/183 ... Kidney 6-0/183 … RHP 5-9/184 … Gallagher 5-9/186 … Harris 5-11/189 … Roy 6-0/190 … Beck 6-0/191... Newhook 5-11/199.

[@jeffnoury3425]

75% of those players wont be playing for habs in 2-3yrs, either because they never made it to nhl, or retired, traded, etc, and if your 6ft and 190, its not a long way off from 6'1 198. Whats would more concerning is 5'10 or less, and or under 190

[@FooFahFoeFum]

@@jeffnoury3425Watch Toni Marinaro interviewing Pierre Mcguire yesterday... SIZE MATTERS and MTL management is making mistakes drafting small players at all positions.....Everyone in the media CTV CBC TVA RDS TSN etc .....protects their jobs by not offending Habs management. ....

[@petermelville5524]

Habs have to play Pez, Arber, and Anderson. The forward group is still a bit too small. Cole, Galley, Newhouse, Evans, Harvey-Pinard and if you add in Hutson makes a size/compete issue come playoff time.

[@noluck9679]

It’s newhook.

[@kevinboisvert5610]

Newhook is still like 200pounds 5’11 so he’s not really that small. Him and Suzuki are only about an inch shorter then average but weigh more then average NHL hockey player. I do agree though on size being a little small right now though. But hopefully in next few seasons we will see someone like Florian come into line up have Pez and Anderson Armia Devo Roy next season all 6ft - 6’4 195-225 plus whoever they bring in will hopefully be on bigger side. Montreal will have some big Def too so I think when it’s all said and done it should be okay

[@kevinboisvert5610]

Also I think Evan’s is like 6’1 190 if I’m not mistaken

[@centerhice7948]

Great show Tony and Pierre lots of respect ,however tell Pierre too go back to first half of season ,and Tony like myself didnt think Suzuki and Caufield were first liners. How ever Pierre and Craig have always said that Suzuki was. But just disappointed that Tony didnt speak up and admit he wasnt thinking Suzuki and Caufield were first liners ,and i can admit i thought the same as Tony. And i changed my mind that Suzuki can be but not convinced on Caufield , need to see more from Caufield to see if that changes . However to accept Pierre saying Tony always thought Suzuki was a first liner is bs cause all you have to to do is go back through the episodes before Pierre wasnt even brought on as a colaborator. Tony only changed his mind as listening continually to Craig and Pierre and Eric continually saying Suzuki was a first line center and i said the same as Tony . And i too now can say Suzuki is proving us wrong. However i admit what i have said and i dont accept credit for things that i wasnt saying originally . He should ve spoke up and said no Pierre i cant take credit for believing Suzuki was a first line center. But he preferred to have his feathers fluffed and accept praise for an untruth. Just go back through the tapes. And i dont say that to cause bad feelings ,cause i m a fan of Tony s . However i will call out bs when i see it . I just would ve expected Tony to speak up and stop and Tell Pierre no i Tony wasnt always saying saying Suzuki was a first liner . Tony thought Suzuki was a second line center ,and i was just as guilty and have changed my mind as well on Suzuki cause he s proving us wrong. However dont accept credit falsely for something you didnt think. I can admit that i didnt think Suzuki was either. But i dont go around taking credit for something i didnt think. The past episodes can prove this . As much as i m Tony s fan , i have noticed between Eric , Pierre ,and Craig , Tonys has changed alot of his views of his own . Still a fan . But just practice honesty. I can understand your mind changed on Suzuki because Craig and Pierre seem to have been right . But i just have noticed Tonys not quite the same in his opinions ,hes influienced muchly these days where he s swayed by those 3 colaboraters . I muchly prefered when Tony stuck to his own opinions thats what made him great. Hopfully we ll see that again .Sorry i m just disappointed,and hold a person to their own words which past episodes can prove. I hate to say it Tony has become a but fickle . Just be honest ,thats all i say , i admit on Suzuki i was with you i didnt think he was a # 1 center . But i can admit i said it. And i hope it taken as constructive criticism, cause its not meant ti be nasty, i just would like to see honesty.Hope to see the Toby i was use too from radio show.

Guy Lafleur used to smoke between periods.

[@davidsine1222]

There is 8 games left Tony

[@davitong]

We'll see if the Habs draft Cole Eiserman as Pierre McGuire strongly pushed.

[@muffinman9410]

The theme song stood out tonight. 10/10

[@bushidodog]

Guhle has more even strength ppoints in 36 fewer NHL games (with 2 less minutes on ice per game) than Jake Sanderson. Guhle is better defensively, more physical, and has better leadership qualities. If Sanderson is worth $8m +, what is Guhle worth?

[@ChadColson-pq5in]

Bettman will rig the draft for Coyotes to get first pick so The Salt Lake Smiths can have a jump

[@joshgerber7546]

So elite teams lose players and start losing??? So much for being elite...... says a ton about the depth in teams these days.

[@jeffnoury3425]

There is no such thing as a team that has 10 elite players. If a team has 4-5 stars thats a solid team usually, but if you lose 2 of them, then your just an average or below average team. Only so much your 3rd and 4th line players can do.

[@CheetosBaccarat]

Suzuki a futur hall of famer 😂 Pipi papa take off your pyjama Tony

[@petermelville5524]

Suzi is 5-11 and 210. He quite solid. Newhouse is 5-11 185...so he's smallish. Forward Draft picks 1-Lidstom, 2-Eiserman, 3-Catton.

[@bushidodog]

Newhook is 200 pounds.

We want crosby😊

I wish people would forget about Lane Hutson.

[@noluck9679]

What forget about him.

Trade Hutson + draft pick , one body check away from end of career for Brady Thachuck of Ottawa

[@rakchazak4672]

[@FooFahFoeFum]

TRADE small Caufield and a D-man ( Mailloux or Struble ) to Ottawa for Brady Tkachuk.

[@jamesj6597]

Does Ottawa want any of those players?

[@FooFahFoeFum]

@@jamesj6597 well I keep hearing that caufield is expected to score 40 or 50 goals some year ....I do not believe it ... but maybe management at Ottawa does think Caufiedl is a star in the making.

[@FooFahFoeFum]

@@jamesj6597 the player mailloux is considered the best D -player in the AHL and most NHL teams would love to put their hands on him
