Love it when Stu visits Tony…they have great chemistry together and really know Montreal and it’s special relationships with its HABS players. SICK, SICK, SICK.

Suzuki is obviously a future Captain and he will no doubt be a good one. My only worry is putting too much pressure on him because even though it looks like he handles it well, he is still only 23. I wish Habs fans would stop booing when things are not going well etc. If things go as bad this year as many of us think it will the fans need to stay off Suzuki’s back. I fear if he is Captain and the team is losing, fans will jump on him.He will have a good year, and do the best he can, but he is only one man. As much as all of us want to be in the Bedard sweepstakes, it will be interesting to see how the fans treat the players in the middle of January when we have only won two of the last 13 games. It will be fun to watch the young players and the fans need to lay off the negativity and let the young players develop in a good atmosphere. It’s not about intentionally tanking, it is about being supportive of the young players, letting them play, and treating them with respect and being happy to get a good draft pick. Finishing between 17 and 25 is useless and frustrating. We have done enough of that. Another great episode! Thanks. Stu and Toni, great chemistry!

[@johnnyjazz5413]

man you are right problem is we have the best and the worst fans at the same time... i dont think tanking for bedard is the plan... i hope we get our younger players one the roster fast... i would see at least two new defense men this year , we have so many its time we get to make some of them play already...

Shea was a sick captain and a silent leader. 🥰🇨🇦

Tony, you got to go to "Los Montaditos". It's a restaurant with franchises around Spain, almost every neighborhood in Madrid has one. It's the best place to try many different things in small amounts, instead of filling up on just one thing. It's a Great way for tourists to get to eat and drink a big piece of Spain in a small amount of time. For dessert, look for a bakery named "Granier". 🍩 are to die for there. Trust me, you won't be disappointed 😉

[@trent3416]

Great episode! Love the podcast! I think you make Suzuki captain now because there's no pressure to succeed right now. There's no pressure from the team, the fans or the media. Make him captain now and he gets a couple of years to ease into the role. If you wait until the habs are competitive, then he will be thrown into a pressure situation because expectations will be high.

[@habsfan9693]

[@centerhice7948]

Great 👍 video 👍 Tony! And Stu is always a good 🐈 cat . This podcast 👌 is sickkkkk!!!!! I think highly of Stu ,but I don't believe it s the right time for Suzuki as captain, but I think they ll give it to him . I like 👍 yourself agree 👍 and I have said this since it s been up for debate. I said Edmonston for his final two years as the buffer . Than let's see who would be the right choice at that point. It also allows us to see all of our young talent as far as their leadership 👏, than you ll actually get it right for the long term captain 👍. I just don't think it's the right move ,but I think they ll give ìt to him anyway . Enjoy your vacation my friend.

I believe Edmundson will be the Captain

I agree for the next two years

It 's a sick podcast tony now that you are in spain i would suggest you to go to pampelune and run it will be a great workout enjoy the holiday

[@CS58420]

I am incredibly optimistic about Nick Suzuki becoming captain and I agree being part of the community is very important in Montréal. I genuinely beileve a modern dynasty is beginning to form. Gallagher could have been a great captain but Shea Webber's presence in the locker room still outweighs his lack of interaction with fans. P.K. was more involved with the fans than most modern players. His relationship with Jean Beliveau and his wife was well known. He was also a toxic presence in the locker room who's game dropped substantially within 2 seasons of being traded.

I still think the players dont have to be integrated with the city (you can throw the french aspect into this). But boy, its nice to see when a player show that he care about the city and the history of the club.

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick

[@notwoke7005]

I was calling for Gallagher to be captain since before they named Max

[@FFab-DD68]

And that's what they said about Subban, Danault, Chucky, and Patch. Where are they now? Every Habs player is a commodity that can be either traded away unexpectedly or sign on with another team as a UFA. Longevity in the NHL is a thing of the past.

[@darcybarnes6970]

I believe Nick is ready to be Captain, I also agree Galley should have been Captain 5 years ago! The Habs should be a better offensive team, But defensive and Goaltending will be their undoing. As far as management i am not convinced like Tony! I think they have made two mistakes that just might come back and haunt them! Only time will tell.

[@patrickmorin123]

Great show once again Tony. I usually like Stu as a guest but why does every time he is on, it's all about bashing the previous administration. I like just about every move Hugo has done so far and I hope they do well, but untill they make the Stanley Cup Finals and win a Cup, they will not be better than Bergevin. Also, Shea Weber was a fantastic captain. I love Gallagher too, but saying he should have been captain instead of Weber is just stupid. Here you have an assistant captain of Team Canada, a team full of captains, a guy who has been captain everywhere he has played, a man who is respected by all the players, managment, officials and other teams and your going to give the C to Gallagher? No, Weber wasn't good with the media. But if that was a real criteria for captain Subban would have been captain on every team he played. And how can you say Weber never accepted being a Hab? He literally left it all on the ice trying to win a Cup for this city. To the detriment of his own health. One of his last acts as captain was pubicly defending Price for taking the blame for not wining the Cup. Our best captain since Cabo no question! P.S. SICK

[@jasonamorim9592]

He’s just a Weber hater because Webs didn’t talk to him. If Weber didn’t want to be here he would of asked to be traded. Which he never did He was the obvious choice for captain. You don’t pick a captain just to be spokesperson for the media

[@darrenmoran3539]

They won't be as bad tony they will have 4 lines playoffs no but not bottom 5

Last season the Habs had 55 points. ... IMO the Habs will get 75 points this 2022/2023 season. IMO the Habs will score 7 goals or more in 6 games this year.... IMO The Habs will trade Ghule = (over rated, so best time to trade) and a $$$roster player, for an established puck carrying D man. ...IMO Gallagher will score more goals 5 on 5 goals than Suzuki.

[@galkanftw]

Management has spent the past 50 years trying to cater to the locker room the media the french community pfft you know what excites everyone>>>>a WINNER >>a legit contender.

[@stephanel6637]

Tony… you prefere Edmundson captain for 2 years and then Suzuki take the spot of captain ? WHY not having Suzuki as captain and supported by Edmundson leadership and experience for the first 2 years of his capitaincy??? Suzuki will then be a better captain with Edmundson as assistain captain to support him

[@galkanftw]

IMO a BIG mistake to make Suzuki the captain i don't want him to start thinking differently i just want him to focus on his game 100% no side games.

[@guymercier627]

Sick great podcast, quality comments like always. Can I ask this question ? Could Susuki learn or at least try to speak French in public... I don’t care if his French is bad... if he simply shows that he cares... it would be important for me and many...I loved Koivu, I now he learned and spoke French, but maybe feeling shy or not to the level, to my knowledge he never spoke French in public... just learning a couple of words would mean a lot... it would simply mean I do care...

[@TwoPyramid]

Suzuki is too busy counting his money.

[@guymercier627]

@@TwoPyramid LOL No I think he as all he needs to be a good captain... But if he can learn and speak a couple of words in French He would be one of the Great ones

Chantal le veut, Chantal l'aura. Suzuki et Caufield seront bilingues. Ils ont eu la base à l'école chacun. Suzuki en tant qu'écolier canadien et Caufield en tant qu'écolier américain qui a décidé que son avenir sera en Français à Montréal et a pris des cours de français à l'école. C'est le grand projet de Chantal.

There's absolutely no vendetta from Stu in regards to Bergevin or his key transactions.. nope none at all... nope.

[@bgood4449]

Well his 5 year plan turned into a nearly 10 year plan and they are lacking elite young talent when compared to other recent perennial cup contenders/winners like (Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Washington) and the young talent isn't in the class of New Jersey, Ottawa, or Detroit and Colorado isn't going anywhere anytime soon with Makar, Mackinnon, Bowen etc.. They need a top 3 pick. Glad Stu points out the treatment of the young players like Galchenyuk and Kotkaniemi and the coaches who benched them for making a mistake. Glad St. Louis is there instead of retreads.

[@andrewe236]

@@bgood4449 just to clarify - Gainey had the 5 year plan, not Bergevin. The guy is fired, he’s gone, but the little digs by a few of the media members keep coming. Molson also did not want a rebuild, he wanted MB to right the ship, and get back to playoffs. Hughes has been gifted a boat load of cap space with Weber and now Prices future in jeopardy. Huge opportunity going forward, and so far so good.

[@galkanftw]

The Habs won the cup with Steve Penney you don't need an Elite goalie to win the cup you need a good team.ALL the goalies go down on their knees and guess if you shoot high you likely score more often on all of them.You could put ANY goalie in the league Darcy Kuemper on last years habs and his numbers would not be any better goalies are over rated.Goalies really mattered a LOT back when goalies could come out and play the puck like Turco and Brodeur now they all play very similar.

[@jasonamorim9592]

No they didn’t. Penney never won a cup. Roy won the last 2 and before that it was Dryden

[@appletile2887]

Gally for Captain, he has put in the years and wore his heart on his sleeve for this team. He always came to play. This should be his reward. Then at the trade deadline trade him for value for his shot at a cup run. This time he won't have an incompetent coach behind the bench.

[@PopRivest]

Edmonston will be traded at first glance

[@garywolitski5263]

If you stood these 2 dwarfs on top of one or the other would you reach 6 feet ? Ha.Hab fans and the team are looking at many more years of going nowhere fast .

[@galkanftw]

"surprise some people"That type of mentality is NOT what i want from the Habs for the next 2 years.A push right now is too soon and will hurt their chances BIG TIME s it has the past 30 years sliding into the playoffs and never really a legit contender. One good draft year does not make a contender especially since they did not get an ELITE center.Nick and Cole are NOT good enough to match player for player with other elite first lines in the NHL they take a BIG backseat to other top lines. This teams needs....NEEDS another good draft year and they NEED cap space to make it all work anything short of that is just the same old same old as past 30 years.If fans and management THINK Nick and Cole are good enough to LEAD this team to a cup they are badly mistaken this teams needs a LOT more.

[@dahabs123]

sick poscast but i dont agree with stu or tony bout da habs what young defence? you mean savard and guys like that? there are only two spots open for young d one is for barron...i would expect someone other than harris.because if it is harris,hes only got one year left on his contract and will want a rasie the habs cant afford next year.so how will there be growing pains from the young d,if there is only 2 of them? all the habs have to do is not be bottom 5 and all the english media covering the habs will be WRONG. not 1 guy is sticking his neck out...how come? #gohabsgo
