The Montreal Canadiens are doing the UNTHINKABLE...

[@goodsport65]

Happy New Year Canadiens fans from Little Rock, Arkansas! Win, lose or draw, I'll always support this team and have been since the 1970s! #GoHabsGo

[@shuvmesumknowlegde]

Agree they are playing one of their best hockey moments in the past 2 seasons.

[@chrishansen8477]

other than the cup run they have been garbage for 8 years

[@cedrikthibert7033]

No since 1993.

[@JoshuaRichardHancock]

@@cedrikthibert7033 and the leafs have been since 67.

[@frostbite7400]

From Amsterdam, Holland Happy New Year and of course all of you HABS FANS!!!!!!! What a ride i had the last hour of 2024. BIG PARTY TIME now to begin with..........

[@cedrikthibert7033]

We really showed those self-entitled assholes that we didn't need the help of the referees and Gary Bettman to béat his favorite club, the Golden Knights of Vegas. Vegas owner is a good friend of Gary Bettman.

[@tonylloy327]

To beat Florida, Tampa, and Vegas 3 straight in 4 nights on the road would be an incredible accomplishment for *any* team. And they deserved all of the wins, too!

[@cedrikthibert7033]

We will do it in the playoffs in a different order.

[@TxcNtr]

holy crap what is happining with this team!!! amazing times ahead!!!

[@Blackmallowtube]

The Habs are often setting the pace of the game, these last few games. They seem to have also learned that there will be flurries from the other team and are weathering the storm until they can set the pace once again. Once Slaf's forecheck timing comes back, this will be scary. Impressive!

[@nutkum8700]

I think Laine has pushed the young players to a higher level and taught them how to play hockey. His back passes have inspired other players. The game has become faster and better.

[@stevencarmona4619]

Tampa Habs Fan and new subscriber, what a way to end the year. Let Goooo

[@randylavoy6196]

This is so much FUN ..!! How exciting to see the boys winning like this ..!! AMAZING ENERGY ..Love the team chemistry ...!! You can see the commeradery between the players ..!! This is SO GREAT ...!!

[@cptVLK]

The whole team is playing with hard and together like family, the all lines are great and with right players on the right spots :) Happy New Year all, fan from Slovakia :)

[@r_p_m7330]

If Dach didn't miss an entire year. And Laine didn't get hurt. We'd be in a playoff spot.

[@LavaLahaie]

Bro we’re at .500 now. It’s like the season starts for real now. A playoff spot is definitely in the picture. Come on now.

[@juupajuu60]

Montreal would be in the mix from the start of the season* you mean

[@jerryrick4685]

That's it, cup final this year​@@LavaLahaie

[@RichardArmenio]

Well we can hope... It has to be a near perfect run once in the playoffs!!! Let's go!!!

[@michaelwhiter4308]

Dach still looked lost on D, work in progress

[@frozenrabbit5641]

Started watching Habs games just to see Laine, now I am watching them to see Habs win. Exciting team.

[@hybridepigenes]

Honestly havent seen the habs play so good in years. There is resiliance and focus that has been building and Martin Stlouis is the engineer behind it I think. He projects a confidence and certanity that is infectious. Love the man, love this team. Go habs go!

[@4u2nvHock3y]

Even if we don't make the playoffs this year. With Demidov coming next year and probably a signing ot 2 in fa I think the Habs got a good shot next year. We're not rushing it either. I'm very happy with how this rebuild has went and I believe we will be a threat for a decade

[@donovangransbery2415]

I got a couple things to say. 1. After the first period I thought this was gonna go back to the old Habs way of going down and losing the mental game but NO they rallied back big time and played a great second half of the game. 2. GIVE MONTY THE VEZINNA holy cow he looked great today he made some huge saves! 3. I love caufield but wow heinaman might be my new favorite player. Even before he scored the tying goal he looked so good he is so strong on the ice and plays with so much energy I am so happy we have him and he is playing well. And 4. I really thought slaf was gonna score today he played really well and he had a couple really good chances

[@wrenchboostboi8994]

It’s beautiful seeing everything and everyone come together for them. They deserve it! Management must be glowing

[@CdnDoodInOz-tm6yg]

...and just like that, the Habs are .500 😁

[@PeterZuniga-xz5it]

Love this team !! Happy new years guys 🎉

[@Theguywholikedthethinginthevid]

The thing about Laine is that it's not just that he's a sniper, it's that the other team panics and he draws many players to himself, which means the other players are freed up to show their stuff. Laine doesn't score? Who cares, Dach and Newhook are able to take opportunity that the other teams are scared shitless of Laine.

[@HabsAndHeavyMetal]

I wrote them off. I did, after they went down 2-0. Can't tell you how chuffed I am with the win though. And this beautiful 4th line is gonna get blown up. Army (let go as a UFA), Evans (traded). I am such a damn happy Habs fan today. What great Christmas and New Year gifts to us from The Habs. They are finally loving us back. GHG.

[@matthewerskine918]

Ngl they should resign armia. Him as a depth piece is golden for a playoff team

[@TomCrouchman.]

If we keep winning we cant be sellers only at the deadline. The Team is really coming along, its fun to watch. Monty feeling pushed by his backup is going to be good for Monty and the Habs.

[@BoydBragg]

Also Dobes will allow Monty to get more rest.

[@KurtisBonin]

Unreal game, huge rally this team has unreal heart. Dach is starting to 🔥 up. Let’s keep this win streak going boys! .500!!!!

[@JMan-Dawg]

Jesse, Josh, great channel guys, love the enthusiasm and breakdown, enjoy watching you guys!

[@lauig]

Hey guys, happy getting to be "in the mix" year to everyone ! It feels like our dear Habs are now improved in pretty much all key aspects we wanted to see in this year of still fairly early but yet much more advanced rebuild : more consistency in overall performance, especially in the second one of back-to-back games, more cohesion/stability in defense (Alex Carrier, what a trade), more balanced & productive 2nd, 3rd & 4th line vs the first, vast improvement on PP, addition of talented here-to-stay rookies, solid high-level goaltending, capacity to come back from or maintain advance under dominant pressure... It's amazing.

[@rpclipgang5227]

Laine + Carrier and the other guys getting a smile on their face has brought this team to a top tier team, trust! There is something brewing, these guys WANTS to play with each other.. they want to find each other and they know, if we just have fun and play, we can beat anyone. Doesn't seem to be any drama in the team, and people are confident with all the pieces together

[@leraklab2661]

Carrier had the biggest smile i have ever seen when he was asked if he was happy playing in montreal. Felt like he realised his dream 😂

[@Davidov956]

I think I even saw Dvorak crack a smirk!

[@robertfrag692]

Happy New Year Josh Jesse and all Habs fans. Went to sat game vs Fla. that was impressive until they followed that up with a dominant win vs Tampa Bay and then they come through today after falling behind 2-0. Really exciting time. Carrier an absolute steal, we might have a backup goalie we can trust, Anderson just causing chaos every shift with size speed and hustle, 4th line kicking ass. Don’t stop now boys!

[@stephaneferron5317]

I thought they would get butchered 3 games in a row! Wow , first time I see 4 lines with chemistry since 1993. I’ve been watching the habs for 40 years , rarely miss a game and the habs have been predictable for 35 years , predictable when they were good or bad but now, they have no complex and after watching a submissive team for 30 years they’re becoming the aggressor All the vets are being reinvented , , Anderson , Armia , dvorak and Gallagher are playing hard but I think the biggest difference is , carrier, Laine and Hutson allow our debt players to overpower the oppositions depth players . It’s gonna be interesting next year, the habs have a lot of depth , lots of prospects with no room to move up, maybe Hugues will start trading prospects for well established players , cause as it stand , don’t think there will be room for all our prospects to get a chance and looks like Emil is here to stay

[@steplee6869]

I’m pumped. Love what I’m seeing every line has produced in this streak

[@markhodge7]

They are now in the conversation.

[@HabsAndHeavyMetal]

"In the mix"

[@samuelc1817]

Mix !!

[@tonylloy327]

Best Xmas road trip for the Habs that I can ever honestly remember. Incredible.

[@xellossm8444]

Dach was wearing the goat horns at the beginning of the the game with that giveaway, then redeems himself by scoring the game winning goal. He should practice his positioning for shooting/chipping when close to the goalie more and avoid the blind passes up the middle.

[@Andrew-oi1qp]

Been a Habs fan since the 1970s and this has been the first team since then to remind me of the team of Lafleur, Robinson, etc.

[@alcologne1786]

Its starting to look like that Stanley Cup run a few years ago. Getting Barron out of there and bringing in Carriere was huge. as was getting Laine into the lineup and adding Dobes in goal has also perked up Montembault's playing. Its gonna be a good rest of the season.

[@paulcake7353]

Happy new year boys,nice podcast, GHG

[@jputterman26]

Happy New Year to all Hab fans. This sure seems like the start of this team playing the way we all know they eventually would. And it's nice to see the doubters have to eat crow for NYE dinner.

[@CdnDoodInOz-tm6yg]

Happy Australia Day & New Year guys!

[@GillesPaquet-Allaire]

Now, we just hope we be consistent

[@patricial3494]

All four lines are clicking and everyone is contributing. Their forechecking is a thing of beauty. Not sure where this will lead, but man is it nice to see. GO HABS GO!!!

[@keithladouceur5360]

MONTY is playing as well as any goalie in the league, SOLID !!!!!!!

[@samuelbelanger7814]

Since when did Canadiens come back from a 0-2, really happy for the boys, especially against the Knights, the trip is succeeded! Go Habs Go

[@gregorybrain7399]

That's what confidence does!

[@kkkkkkkkkkIllllllll]

I've seen enough in the last week, Montreal is taking the cup in 2025 (never mind, it's New Year's Eve in Russia and I'm drunk) my God, this is exactly what I want from the first line. Slaf fights for the puck and wins it, then Suzuki works, and cole finishes. The 4 line is the fucking best in the entire NHL, the second line has started to wake up. If this is my delusional dream, then don't wake me up. If I had been told in November that Montreal would win three games in a row against the Panthers, Tampa and Vegas, I would have asked, "What drugs are you on right now?" Let's go, my boys, and happy New Year to everyone!

[@pascalbouchard6018]

I’ll be on the same page in about 2 bottles

[@kkkkkkkkkkIllllllll]

@ VHHAHAHAHAHH, I'm waiting for your comment after two bottles)

[@pascalbouchard6018]

@ working on it bud

[@rickl696]

Dvorak and Evans made the Vegas centres look like they were asleep on faceoffs. Awesome job!

[@ShawnyPsSnackScrutiny-ei1cq]

It’s finally clicking! This is what they needed to begin the season! I knew they weren’t as bad as they were outta the gate. Don’t forget on the horizon, Reinbacher, Damidov, and too a lesser extent, Roy, and Mallioux! Exciting times!

[@ericm.1245]

Adding Carrier has been huge

[@hippocrazy4214]

3 games on the road against 3 of the toughest teams? 1st comes the confidence. They are a young team...and some GREAT talent there.

[@tb18761]

I’m going to be at the Bell to see them play the Leafs and then the Rangers two nights in a row. I hope they’re still playing this well.

[@merc340sr]

I am very surprised as well! Great! Keep it going Habs!

[@markorr999]

A full healthy roster sure seems to help, doesn't it? 9-4-0 since having a full team to put on the ice. A good solid D is one you don't hear much about during the game, it is only when you look at the stats after the game that they stand out. Great show guys! GO HABS GO!

[@sandboxhero7587]

Go Habs go! They are at .500 with 3 wins in a row! Happy New Years everyone!

[@mikeolmstead340]

Has anyone else noticed Montembeault’s eyes behind the mask? He’s seeing the game better, and quite seriously.

[@CriticalxMiss]

See what happens, they do seem to be rolling now but have a hell of a hill to climb to get into the playoffs I do hope they can start to control the game better, and get more attempts on net.

[@mattpovah5952]

Monty held the Habs in it with truly stellar goaltending

[@keres666]

How many times in the last say 10-15 years where everything fell apart over the holidays... Kind of nice to see that its the opposite at this point.

[@wrenchboostboi8994]

Montys been showing major price vibes

[@patrickrobitaille8499]

There playing great right now they may be in the mix this year.

[@MrXanderii]

All you people that were willing to give up on Kirby Dach. Shame on you

[@michaelwhiter4308]

Did you not notice his bumble on one of the Vegas goals. Still a work in progress.

[@MrGlovesave33]

GO HABS GO! ❤

[@WilbertRobichaud]

Baptism by fire for Hutson.

[@kodalycat906]

Have said it for awhile...if they play to their potential (a big "IF" sometimes) and keep the stupid errors (for example, lose pucks in their own end without pressure) and stupid penalties to a minimum, they are a team with a winning record: they can consistently beat the teams they ought to, beat the teams on their level more often than not and draw even with the elite teams. In essence, a playoff bound team to be sure and maybe even capable of a deep run in a couple of years. The key, I believe, is intelligent, intense defense at all times as an attainable goal. With what appears to be a solid backup goalie just up from the minors - Dobes - and a likewise inspired Monty there is no reason, barring major injuries, this can't happen.

[@billlittle4285]

They make me proud when they play like that, reminds me of the 90's

[@lancegallant3647]

Glad to be going to habs leafs game this mth gonna be a barn burner ! Go habs go woooooooooooooooooooo

[@Dcheen]

Love it. Give me a 10-14 pick I don’t care. Can’t wait for Demidov.

[@RealJMAC]

The city is really feeling this vibe and I feel the team hasnt even reached it's full potential yet. Something special in the making>?

[@countchoculitis1528]

Monty outplayed his counterpart.

[@jeffmolnar4781]

Fowler in goal down the line>> and Demidov! Wow

[@CdnDoodInOz-tm6yg]

Thanks.

[@MetalCharlo]

Let's just speak for fun here: If we somehow make the playoffs, what are your expectations? Mines would be to just have fun and compete.

[@henryzelman33]

Next game is in Chicago on Friday. I suggest the Habs go out tonight to one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas and have a great celebratory dinner. The team has earned it.

[@CurtisVinish]

As fans, we need to trust in the process and not be so dramatic when they are struggling. We’re rebuilding and fans over criticize the team. Its great we are winning now but understand where we are in the rebuild

[@skalet66a]

You are the best, guys!

[@carlitoforest2891]

GO HABS GO

[@rexhallinan1785]

Its nice to see but can they keep it up

[@Rysk12]

And nobody with below %50 FO wins! That's nice to see.

[@lindsaybelaire123]

Miffed on the way they are dealing with Peźz. Guy gives heart and soul to make the team and you treat him like shite! Send him down,trade him,put the boy on waivers. But jeez he deserves better.

[@seansampson9587]

Dach and Laine still not completely up to par. Dach backhanded pass to Vegas player in offensive zone started the sequence for the first goal against. Then Laine with 15 seconds left in the period gets bumped off the puck that leads to the second goal against. A rule you should not break. Giving up the puck when you have control of if against the board with seconds left in the period. I noticed for his size he is easily removed of the puck

[@JamesMorris-y8o]

To the entire NHL, be afraid! Great goaltending and, the Habs are rolling 4 lines!

[@Image1Nation]

Hello, is that you? 0.500 hockey? Say it with me everyone “IN THE MIX”!

[@stephster6762]

MTL loose a few games in a row , fans = they suck, fire st-louis, trade everyone. MTL wins a few games in a row, fans = the cup is near, all players are the best. Lets remember this feeling when they start loosing again… they are still a very very young team and definitely not ready for playoffs. Lets try to keep expectations low and be happy if they exceed them. Next year, Add Demidov, hage, Reinbacher, eventually, Fowler, and let them mature a bit, 3-5 years from now they will be winning way more than loosing. I am still hoping for a good draft pick this year to add to the depth before they start to be in the playoffs. Worst scenario this year is missing the playoffs by a few points, or barely making them, because you dont get a good draft pick and they probably wont make it far anyway in the playoffs.

[@Bella-ck8sh]

YES❤
