Locked On Canadiens - Daily Podcast on the Montreal Canadiens

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens The Montreal Canadiens crushed the Columbus Blue Jackets 8-2 on Saturday night. It showed the difference between a truly bad team right now, and a team that is still bad, but hasn't hit rock bottom yet. Led by Nick Suzuki's four points and Rafaël Harvey-Pinard's second period hat trick, the Habs romped in the game, and still maintained their lottery odds. Scott takes a peek at the latest in the race for Bedard and the week ahead for Montreal. Then, because it's Monday that means it's time for Three Up, Three Down! Squarely in the crosshairs of every Habs fan right now is the Department of Player Safety, who were called out directly from a grotesquely wounded Mike Hoffman after the Bruins game on Thursday. Also making the down list for the first time in awhile is Jake Allen, who seems to be mired in a tough slump, some of which isn't his fault, but going winless in seven straight starts is a tough feat to accomplish. The Up list this week however is lengthy, very very lengthy. RHP notched his first NHL hat trick, Nick Suzuki had eight points in three games, while Kirby Dach looked amazing! That's to say nothing of the incredible efforts of Samuel Montembeault, and Mike Matheson who also played incredible well last week. There is plenty of praise to go around outside the NHL as well, and Scott does his best to make sure everyone gets their plaudits. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens The Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins played what can only be described as a clown shoes game on Thursday night. There were blatant missed calls, gross acts of violence against Mike Hoffman, and at some point hockey was played. Scott has the recap of all the action, the good and the insanely bad. Then, it on to the prospects and their performances on the first day of the NCAA Frozen Four and in the AHL on Wednesday night. What record has Lane Hutson broken now, and how close is he to setting an all-time mark for his historic season? Is a pro contract in his future this summer or is it time to let him cook a little while longer? In the AHL, Emil Heineman made an instant impact in his North American debut for the Laval Rocket. Scott breaks down his debut, including his first AHL goal, and where the Rocket stand heading into the final playoff stretch. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens The Habs and Bolts played their final game of the season against each other, and it was marked by a pair of returns for the Montreal Canadiens. Both Kirby Dach and Brendan Gallagher were back in the lineup in what ended up being another really exciting clash between the two rivals. Dach made his impact immediately and the Habs seemed to elevate their play to steal a 3-2 victory on Tuesday night. While the team secured a win, they lost heavily regardless. In the closing seconds of the game Mikhail Sergachev pulled Josh Anderson down from behind as Anderson attempted to score an empty net goal. Anderson then appeared to seriously injure his ankle as he collided with the goal post and the officials saw it fit to call absolutely nothing on the play. So that means it's once again time for a patented Locked on Canadiens rant on player safety and officiating! The NHL has found their newest jersey maker for the post-Adidas era in the league, and the response has been astoundingly one-sided. With a ten year deal locked in between the NHL and Fanatics there is a wave of concern and trepidation amongst hockey fans with that news. Scott takes a look at why fans are right to be concerned and why this deal could blow up in the face of the league quickly. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens The Montreal Canadiens had their annual team photo day and with that came a bit of surprising good news for Habs fans everywhere. Part of the team practice saw the return of Kirby Dach, Brendan Gallagher, and Jake Evans in non-contact jerseys before the team photo. While it is anyone's guess when the trio might return, it's clear that it may not be far off. So what would the lineup look like once all three are cleared to return, and who is headed back to the Rocket? Scott does his best to break it all down. Speaking of the Rocket, Emil Heineman officially joined the team for practice on Monday and will wear #19 for the rest of this season. Scott takes a peek at where he can slot in for J-F Houle's side and why his arrival is perfectly timed for the Rocket. Finally, the NCAA Frozen Four tournament kicks off this week and there are plenty of Habs prospects and potential free agent signings kicking around to keep an eye on. While all eyes will be on Lane Hutson and the BU Terriers, there is fellow Hobey Baker Finalist, Sean Farrell to keep an eye on, plus much more. Scott has the matchups and all you'll need to know before the puck drops this week! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens It was a great weekend for the Montreal Canadiens increasing their odds for Conor Bedard and the first overall pick! Scott takes a look at the Habs game in Tampa Bay, the good, the bad, and the oversleeping. Even with the Canadiens losing they got strong showings from players like Denis Gurianov, Josh Anderson and Nick Suzuki, while also making the game competitive right down to the final horn. Scott breaks the game down, and takes a look at where Montreal now sits in the lottery odds! In Three Down, there is plenty to discuss around the Canadiens, but the biggest topic is Jonathan Drouin who was benched for the entire game on Saturday after being late to a team meeting. Was his punishment for a first-time offence too harsh, or was Martin St-Louis correct to stick to his principles? Scott takes a look at the whole situation and tries to find the answer. Finally in Three Up, it's all about the young guys again this week. Lane Hutson scored two goals to win the Hockey East title for BU, including the game-winner in overtime itself. Rhett Pitlick might have scored the goal of the year in the NCAA in the B1G title game as well. At the NHL level the hard shooting wingers in Denis Gurianov and Jesse Ylönen are also thriving, having scored multiple times over the last week, and that's great news for the Habs.

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens: What The Heck The Montreal Canadiens and Florida Panthers played one of the wildest, sloppiest, and downright insane contests in NHL history on Thursday. Scott does his best to describe a game that could one day have an entire ESPN 30 for 30 about it. Between the goals scored, the horrendous officiating there is so much to talk about that it takes two full segments. Scott breaks down everything from a wild 10 goal first period, to Nick Suzuki being ejected at the end of the contest and more! Following up after that, the QMJHL has announced strong plans to help curb the occurrence of fighting in hockey, at least within their own league. Scott examines what their plan is, and how it tracks alongside leagues from Europe, and what leagues in North America can do to follow in its footsteps. It also raises the question, is it possible to see and end to fighting in the sport of hockey happen organically? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens Scott welcomes long-time friend of the show Patrik Bexell to discuss the big happenings with the Montreal Canadiens prospects playing in Europe! The duo tackle the curious case of Emil Heineman, the heavy shooting, but still raw winger who may very well be on his way to the Laval Rocket in the near future. Patrik discusses where Heineman has shown growth, and where the young forward has chances to grow to increase his odds of being an NHL player. The conversation then shifts over to Adam Engström, whose club defeated Heineman's in the SHL playoffs earlier this week. Engström is quickly becoming a fan favourite with a smart offensive game and great skating. What does his timeline look like in regards to a North American debut, and can Engström avoid some of the same issues that have plagued Mattias Norlinder? Finally the duo discuss a handful of other prospects playing in Europe including Oliver Kapanen, Frederik Dichow and the newly acquired Tony Sund to wrap up the show!

Scott recaps two games that were wild for all the right and all the wrong reasons. Which players stood out and which ones looked like they were ready for the season to be over?

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens The Canadiens lost another close game, this time to the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night with Denis Gurianov hitting the scoresheet. Scott has your recap of the game and an update on where the Canadiens sit in the chase for Conor Bedard. He also looks at the pair of games in an upcoming back to back games against Colorado and Pittsburgh, and how it's likely to stress the Habs in a way they haven't been in several weeks. Then, it's time for Three Up, Three Down! In the down section it's been a tougher week or so than expected for Denis Gurianov, who despite scoring against the Devils has been struggling to find his form for the Habs. It's also been a quiet score week for Nick Suzuki, who is being tasked to do so much for Martin St-Louis, can he have some pressure taken off his shoulders soon? On the flipside of things, there may very well be defensive reinforcements coming from the NCAA. While Sean Farrell played a huge role in getting Harvard closer to a Frozen Four birth, Northeastern and Jayden Struble now find themselves staring at the end of their season. Will Struble be joining the Canadiens soon, or will this be a summer decision? Also on the up list, Alex Belzile and Chris Tierney continue to play and produce way above their expected level, who else in Montreal is keeping the Habs competitive despite the six-game losing streak?

Using FCHockey's Mock Draft simulator (found here), Scott ran three seperate, three-round mock drafts to see how many different picks he could make with the Canadiens current draft picks. Scott breaks down his choices, with just one repeat selection in the first round. Will the Canadiens continue to snag picks from the US Development Program? Or will they keep up their Slovakian dominance on Day 1 of the NHL Draft? Scott explains it all and more inside today's show! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens The Montreal Canadiens and Carolina Hurricanes squared off in what ended up being an incredibly entertaining affair on Tuesday night. While the Habs came up just short in the shootout there was plenty of fun things to talk about at the end of the night. While Jesperi Kotkaniemi delivered the dagger to the Habs, the home team still put together a fantastic effort thanks to an all AHL fourth line and Mike Matheson doing everything possible to secure a win. Scott has your recap and all the details With the game against the Carolina Hurricanes behind them, it's time to take a look at where the Canadiens stand in terms of the NHL Draft Lottery! The Habs have gotten a huge boost in their quest for Conor Bedard thanks to the Blackhawks and Canucks this week, but still sit just outside the bottom five. With their current spot locked in, what would the Habs current draft look like at this exact moment? Scott breaks it all down. In the final segment, it's a big few weeks for prospects as their regular seasons wind down, and many of them prepare for the start of their post-season. With the Habs loaded to the top with prospects, Scott takes a peek at who is the closest and most likely to be making the jump to the professional ranks with the Canadiens or Laval Rocket in the near future!

The Montreal Canadiens were very quiet at the NHL trade deadline, but the rebuild continues to plug along. We have a belated mailbag episode today in which we discuss next steps - we have lots of questions about the draft and offseason moves the Habs could make. Should they package picks in order to get out of the Brendan Gallagher contract? Do we see them picking Matvei Michkov even though they have indicated that is not a direction they want to go in? And more.

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens: The NHL Trade Deadline has come and gone, with the Montreal Canadiens really making just two moves, while acting as a third wheel in another. Scott breaks down the moves from Deadline Day, and from the week prior to see what the Habs added, and lost this year. While the trades were few, there was one other important transaction on the Canadiens side, as they sent two names down to the Laval Rocket ahead of their playoff push. Scott explains how the post-deadline recalls work, and how these paper transactions impact the NHL club. Also, there were some potential names missing from the transaction list, who are they, and why were they also not sent down to the Rocket? Finally, Kent Hughes held his traditional press conference after the deadline had come to a close, and there's a lot to unpack from the Canadiens GM. From navigating injuries, to contracts and more the Habs GM had his hands full way ahead of the Trade Deadline. Scott examines the good news and the bad news coming out of the presser, including some more upsetting news around the status of Sean Monhan as well. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
