Marchessault will be a key piece of Montreals future goalie core😂😂😂😂😂
and montembeault will score 35 for the preds?
@@doaftheloaf Carey price will also be the team's head doctor
@@Xanatos0504 perhaps we can get nikita scherbak as head of development
We need outtakes and blooper reel!
This. So much this.
Ooooh yeah!
Twelve takes? You absolute mad lad.
The hardest working man in hockey, right here on this channel.
An intelligent educated and fair minded Boston Bruin fan? Wow I didn't think people like you existed. Learn something new every day 😅🤣 Btw, great video.
As a diehard Habs fan the only thing missing here is giving proper credit to Captain Suzuki who has led the team in scoring every year for last 3 years including the playoffs in 2021. Slafkovsky's season turned around after he was put on the 1st line with Slick Nick. Also RHP Scored 14 goals in half a season after he was put on the 1st line with Suzuki -due to injuries. He's been a bust ever since. Nick Suzuki just makes everyone who plays with him better but never gets proper credit. PPG Player
I didn’t mind seeing Marchessault as a 6th skater on the Canadiens, but Primeau as the #1 uncontested goalie ? That was scary AF.
@benoitrobitaille5235 so is newhook at 2C💀
Things happen, Shannon. Nobody’s perfect.
Pobody’s nerfect
*Nobody is
Things happen! Fantastic video as always. Nice objective view away from my sometimes biased eyes hahaha. Thanks Shannon!
not a habs fan but they are a team i like to see do well. i like the rebuild that gm hughes has done so far. this team is still 2-3 years away from a p-off spot. but there's a lot of positives. blueline is stacked with young talent. my favorites are guhle and arber. as the team gets better, montreal should look at using some surplus draft capital and d-men to take advantage of assets from teams against the cap.
i liked the draft with demidov and hage. ivan demidov is considered to be "the whole package" and the talk is he's coming to MTL in a year's time from the KHL.
i think for this year, if they can slice down the league-leading # of 1-goal loss games (24) from last year, and flip half of those into wins, that would help the team's confidence.
coach MSL has done a good job thus far, with getting the best he can out of guys and having them work hard in games.
wishing MTL all the best, except when they play tampa. 😉
Damn, for a guy who is not a fan, you sure know a lot of about em :)
@BaconNationChannel appreciate your kind words. 💙
i'm actually a tampa guy. been watching nhl since 1980 at 6 years old. montreal and edmonton are the canadian teams i like to see do well.
MTL has had an impact on my life as a hockey fan. the fanbase is passionate and can be crazy at times to be polite lol.
thing is the fans actually care about the team and want them to do well. attendance has been consistent even in the lean times.
believe it or not, MTL was actually in danger of relocating in 2000. the team was put up for sale and no local buyers wanted to buy the team.
fortunately an american guy named george gillett bought the team and promised to keep it in montreal. he did a fantastic job fixing the business of the canadiens and sold the team back to the molson family in 2009.
it would be a shame if MTL had left but am glad they are financially stable. i really hope they can make the p-off's in a few years time.
i enjoy talking about the canadiens from time to time, and most of the habs people are polite if not nice. 👏
all the best with whomever you are rooting for, except when they play tampa lol. 😉

@@mikedufour4829 so it's about 100 seconds until you come; I mean, until you think 😅🤣
I know you’ve never been to Montreal, Shannon, but I’m sure you would have no shortage of friends willing to show you and your family around if ever you did take a trip here. Imagine going to a Habs VS B’s game at the Bell Center? Thanks for the video as always, was looking forward to it ✌️👍
So happy to see my Habs rising. Go Habs Go
Technically, Price played 5 games in 2021-22 towards the end of the season, but it only confirmed he would never play again.
At least his last game saw the team score 10. He may have never had offense in front of him his entire career but he got to see them run the score up at the end.
@@jacp5628 I was at that game. They played against the 60-wins Lightning with half the roster scratched. So basically, the worst Habs team ever blasted an AHL team hahaha ! Also, it was like 3 days after the passing of Guy Lafleur, who wore number 10. Hearing 21 000 people chant GUY! GUY! GUY! was something pretty special.
He lost 4 in a row terribly, then threw a gem in there for his final game against a good Florida team.
39 saves 2 goals against
Previous 4 games = 16 goals against.
Montreal wasted this guys talent.
@@antoinelegendre-belanger9463 Were you drunk or high?
@@Traumawarrior77 *guy's
Three pretty good runs. It would have been better on some teams and it would have been worse on some teams. One of the runs he got injured, otherwise it's plausible he'd have a Cup.
It always amazes me how you do all these videos in one fluid take. I don’t blame you for making a mistake every 100 videos or so haha
Price played his last game April 29, 2022 in the 10-2 win against The Panthers.
3rd take?
First time Habs gave him goals was during his last game ever
The Habs' points total is misleading. It was an incremental improvement over the previous season, but they had A TON of overtime losses. That means a lot of those games could have gone the other way and the Habs would have been on the doorstep of a playoff spot. High hopes for the coming year.
While definitely true, could argue that the other way too lol. I really like the Habs chances going forward, but banking on overtime losses to become regulation wins is wishful thinking at best.
Yes and no, don't forget we also got a ton of shootout and overtime wins which point towards the fact that we're still bad at 5v5.
Plenty of Habs pointing at OTL and 1 goal regulation losses but the lineup is simply too flawed. You're not going to win much playing Matheson 25mins and a weak right defense. 23-24 was entertaining and 24-25 should be as well. I'm just not optimistic about team success.
disappointment incoming
i'm looking for around 82 points this season. continued development. we eye the playoffs in 25-26. demidov should be a big help.
I agree, outtakes/bloopers would be fun..!
Habs fan here, keep up the great work, HockeyGuy! Even though you’re a B’s fan, your analysis of the Habs is always fair and balanced… 👍
Let’s Go Habs! Love your honesty THG, great video.
Thanks for the amazing videos as always THG, we're blessed to have you give it your all and remaking videos. GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐
No worries Shannon, we are all human.
Is there any chance you could cut out the part of the deleted video, where you realize that you wrote Marchessault instead of montembault, and turn it into a short for us to enjoy?
Great vid.
I think that if Mailloux and Reinbacher outperformed at the training camp, Barron is in serious trouble.
I also believe there will be a trade to ship a couple of our dmen until next fall.
barron is no longer waiver exempt. so if he doesn't win a spot in camp, with that advantage, he IS in serious trouble. honestly, i'd trade him now. 2nd, barron, RHP for kakko?
if it were about who i expect to play the best in camp, i think it's mailloux. let reinbacher grow his game a bit more in laval.
trade harris too. i like him, he has a smart, simple game, and he'll be a solid bottom pair dman for somebody, but hutson is ready. he's going to be a special player.
@@doaftheloafoverpay for kakko, maybe barron and a second
@@matthew7827 I’m saying put harris in some other deal. 2, barron, RHP for kakko.
As a Habs fan, I love your videos and appreciate your inputs. Hopefully like you said, Habs will be good enough soon so we can relive the rivalry with the Bruins.
I still think Montreal trades some defence for a forward
I would watch all of the other video anyway hahaha
Lmao Marchessault. It’s cool to see the original vod and this one to see the differences
Montreal does absolutely nothing … me: I’m so excited 😅😂
Harvey Pinard is the kind of guy that could be looked at as a guy who had one good season and never quit got there again or as a guy like marchand that could possibly climb up a roster throught pure work ethic
In knit picking here but price has played since the cup run, he came back and played a few games at the end of there next season, he hasn’t played since then but he did play after the cup run
Thanks Shannon! Keep up the great work! A Habs fan!
Habs first line is incredible and keeps them dangerous even while rebuilding. Like their goaltending. Rest of the team will come along and I trust Kent Hughes and Martin St. Louis to pull the trigger to push for a return to the playoffs at the right time, which sounds like it could be as soon as 2025-26.
Fans need to wait one more year before getting even a little impatient.
With everyone talking about Marchessault I thought I missed some news today
This is the team in the East that most are sleeping on in my opinion. Towards the end of the season they were starting to show signs of being difficult to play against. If their defense starts to gel and the goaltending holds up when March rolls around I would not be surprised if they are still hanging in contention. Beware Le Canadien.😊
Hab to Hab. We need to wait. If only to make a Boston-Montreal series a bad match-up for Boston.
The beloved Canadiens goaltender Marchesbeault
Good that you mention Harvey-Pinard, unfortunately he got injured and this prevented him to build his momentum on his last season, I would see him has a 3rd line winger but can be put on the 2nd line if injury occurs because of his work ethic and offensive touch, he showed his offensive skills playing with Suzuki when everybody was injured 2 years ago ! If Montreal has to move another defense, I would trade Barron before Struble or Harris !
Gally in the top6 is hilarious. If anything, I'd see Armia then Anderson before Gally on the 2nd line.
Yeah, and Newhook as the second-line center... It's clearly Dach who will be there. But it's pretty tough to cover 32 teams at once.
@@Belial87 oh 100% . I'm not hating or anything. Gally is pretty known name in the league so people imagine putting him high in the lineup.
Slafkovski-Suzuki-Demidov
Roy-Dach-Caufield
Newhook-Beck-Hage
HarveyPinard-Evans-Gallagher
Matheson-Guhle
Hutson-Reinbacher
Xhekaj-Mailloux
Fowler
Volokhin
Thanks for the video!
Shane wright was shoved so far down everyone's throat. Not everyone even knew slaf. People were wearing wright jerseys at the draft.
And slav shirts to
that’s what happens with every draft though. The European talent is gonna have to prove themselves before they earn the hype
Merci! Excellent travail.
I was so nervous you were going to need to redo this one.
Dach 2C and Newhook on the wing over the opposite IMO.
or both of wings Newhook on the LW and Dach on the RW. which mean who gonna be the second line Center ? Dvorak ? Evans ? Beck ?
@@glaframbDefinitely not Beck. And I think they move either Roy or Gally to that 2c spot.b
Bloopers for members would be pretty cool and for sure funny 😂
You said Price didn't play since 21 finals but he played something like 5 games the next year. He would have been eligible for HoF this year like Weber but he will wait until next year 😅
As a lifetime Habs fan I think there is a lot to be hopeful for. Dach of course is a cause for concern and perhaps Xhekai as well. They both have shown themselves to be injury prone. I know it's a bit early to predict what will happen this coming season: Improvements yes, playoffs no. My thinking is they'll hang around until February maybe even early March but they will fade from a playoff spot. As was said improvement will be incremental.........unless they overacheive. Will want to see them be better at turning leads into wins especially in regulation.
Can't wait for the Marchy vs Monty war for the Habs net
You guys have such a bright future! That being said… go leafs go
I think there should be another take, as there is a grammatical error on the board. Technically it's; *in rounds 1 through 4!
😂
We all have one of those days...it's ok Shannon
Montreal has a ton of potential, I still think they surprise a lot of people by being competitive for the wild-card for most of the year, I'm hoping to just be playing meaningful games come March and April, and not just playing spoiler for Detroit again. I don't think Roy or Gallagher gets the 2nd line role, I could see it being Armia given he had a very respectable season last year, as well I think they want to work Newhook to the 2LW given he looked a bit uncomfortable at Center last year, and seemed to play better during that very brief time we saw him with Dach at the start of the year.
As for the blue-line I still think Harris is getting traded, it's been basically known since last year's trade deadline that we were trying to move him given we have such a logjam there. I think Reinbacher and Mailloux are sent down to get top 2 AHL ice time, Hutson I see being on the 2nd pair with Savard to pair up his explosive offence with someone who has a much more defensive game. Barron I'm iffy on if he gets sent down or is used as a 7th D like Kovacevic was last year.
I believe the top line of Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky is going to explode offensively this year for at least 80 points each they all look so natural with each other. I believe Demidov comes up next year and gets the 2nd line spot immediately, but I wouldn't be surprised if we start him 3rd line just to break him in the way we did Slafkovsky 2 seasons back.
Gallagher just continues to get undervalued. He played in every game other then the 5 games he got suspended for and had 15 goals 12 assists at 5 on 5 for 27 points. Playing 3rd line minutes with low help shows to me at least he's just as good as his 2017 days just without the minutes. I also see them adding him to line 2 with Newhook. At the end of the season the combo of the 2 worked great. Gally posted 5 goals 5 assists in 9 games and Newhook had 3 goals 6 assists in 9 games. Both looked fantastic. Do i expect both to be PPG? No. But if you give Gally 2nd line 2nd PP minutes and he stays healthy with Dach and Newhook I can see him reaching the 20 goal mark no problem. Newhook hitting the 50 point mark and Dach hitting the 30 goal 65 point mark.
I knew Marchessault was an amazing player, but... He'd look odd with pads.
Thanks Shannon!
Shannon needs a Vacay ! get this man a hot tub and a Scotch 🎉
Dach is probably the C on Newhook’s line btw. I guess they both play both positions, but I feel like Dach is seen as the stronger C and will probably play primarily there. Maybe if they’re on the same line they just switch based on which side the faceoff is taken from though
Also Hage isn’t seen as a 3rd liner from what I’m hearing. More top 6 type player
Habs fan here. THG calls it well this time - no argument from me whatsoever. It's a slim possibility that Montreal would take enough of a leap forward to vie for a WC spot toward the end of the season. They are in a tough division but so are Ottawa and Buffalo.
Last year no other team in the league had a worse record against divisional rivals. Montreal was 5-13-8 vs the rest of the teams in the Atlantic. If their young players develop enough that they find a way to win more games against Ottawa, Detroit, etc. , then yeah, they should improve in the standings. All other things being equal - which, of course, they rarely are.
Habs probably have the best defense prospects group in the league. If they can find a couple more top 6 forwards, they'll be laughing. Demidov potential wise should definitely slot in there. Newhook, Dach, etc. I don't think those are guys you'd want to be in your top 6 on a contending team. I'm sure within the next couple of years, though, they'll be able to find some better top 6 options. Kent Hughes has gotta be looking at cashing in on Matheson at the deadline this year. A contending team will pay handsomely for him, and they have in house options to replace him.
5:36 Dach will and is the 2nd line center.
8:14 Don’t forget Engström for next year.
Montreal wants to keep Dach at centre. The guy is big and has great hands so if he can stay injury free then he will be there. He had great chemistry with Slafkovsky in the beginning of the season before his injury so I wouldn't mind seeing that again.
You just wanted to wear TWO Habs jerseys today. Admit it!
They really are nice. Looking forward to things settling down enough that we know who is even going to show up in camp for Philly to see that video. Kolosov homesick. Michkov could still be unveiled as the kidnapper of the Lindbergh baby. Konecny traded to Washington due to the Kuznetsov money clearing up. What a mess. At least Gritty loves me.
GO HABS GO! Allez Montréal! ❤
Once Montreal can trade/release/buyout either Gallagher or Anderson that is when they will be able to go to the next phase of the rebuild. I’m guessing this year if Dach can stay healthy they will finish around 20-25 overall. Between Dvorak savard Evans and armia contract leaving. Next summer they will have a lot of cash to spend and demidov should be coming. So season 25-26 they should start thinking about the playoffs
2 things I don't understand with injury contracts. Who pay the 10,000,000$ salary of Carey Price, is-it the NHL? And Shea Weber, why Arizona took is contract, what was their interest? And the same question, who pay the Weber salary and Why Montréal did not trade the contract of Carey like they did with Shea?
9:06 No, Monty was the best and played against better teams than Primeau.
A Stanley Cup is in our future very soon!
Lmfao sure buddy 😂
I hope so. If one thing is certain, the Habs will raise the cup before the Laughs do 😂
Matheson - Guhle
Xhekaj - Barron
Hutson - Savard
Harris
i think your top 6 is more likely than you give yourself credit for! I know they liked the Newhook Gallagher Armia line, so I think to start the year they might start with that as their 3rd line and play Roy and Anderson on Dachs wings but I hope not!
Roy! Agree!
Getting the wrlcome mat ready for Demidov. Say, you guys wouldn't happen to need a right shot defenseman now, would you?
Honestly, MTL has a lot of picks in the next draft in the first 3 rounds, so I would prefer that if they have another year at the bottom of the league, would rather it be this one. Would be nice to have some improvement, but top picks in the first three rounds have much value.
Do you think they find a way to move on from their 2 bad contracts in Gallagher (6.5 AAV) and Anderson (5.5 AAV)? Absolutely brutal price to pay for 20 pts at most
Actually they didn’t bought out the price and weber contract weber have been traded to arizona end price is like a forever ltir
i'm sure montebualt will be a good back up in nashville
Dach is viewed as the 2nd line center, not Newhook. well, unless Dach breaks again.
Barron won't be sent down. Waivers
Honestly want him to re release the other video, I just want to see it
Montreal's rebuild has been unusual. Typically, at the beginning, a team has a bunch of declining or simply mediocre players on contracts for too much money and too many years. On the way down, they trade those players for draft picks and prospects. Montreal has had all three at the same time. They've been at the top of the list of team salaries and at the bottom of the NHL standings. Was Marc Bergevin trading out his previous bad contracts while simultaneously signing new bad contracts? Perhaps you could update your Bergevin video from 2017?
Montreal was simply unable to get out of most of their horrible contracts so far, so they are ending naturally 1 by 1 or are traded on their last season like Hoffman was for the Petry deal.
Last season Pearson was acquired and they failed to flip him at the deadline, this season Armia and Dvorak are going off the books. After that only Gallagher’s and Anderson’s contracts are left among the terrible contracts and they are both among the worst in the entire NHL.
Almost forgot, there is the Carey Price contract that LTIRetired, that’s one more the Canadiens were unable to trade away do far.
@@benoitrobitaille5235 Then how did the Canadiens get so many extra draft picks over the last few years?
Unusual indeed, in large part because MB had begun a retool way before the club collapsed. Suzuki, Caufield, Guhle, Mailloux, Xhekaj, Romanov, Harris, Struble, Monty and Primeau are all young guys that he drafted/got. You don't usually see rebuilds starting with such a stable.
@@benoitrobitaille5235 a gross over-exaggeration on Gallagher's contract. Also not accurate on Price's contract. There has never been a single report of them even trying to trade is contract in the first place.
@@RandomPlaceHolderName Outside of the goalies and Suzuki almost all those name s were part of the rebuild. MB geban the rebuild before he was fired. The rebuild didn't start after he was fired.
Primeau somwtimes let's in softies but i think its the right tandem for the short term, enough to keep in games for entertainment but respectfully loses enough for high draft pick
If you want to wear a Price jersey, you have to do exactly 31 takes.
Even though I’m from QC, I like when Mtl remains outside of the playoff picture. The fans get high off the arena poutine gravy and when the team does well all hell breaks loose.
I think montreals defense for next season is
Matheson savard
Hutson guhle
Xhekaj barron
Jonathan Marchessault future star goalie
If dach/ghule doesnt get injure most of the season mtl gonne be real close of a wild card
I'm kinda starting to giving up on Dach, real good player but 5 years in and has never played a full season while having 2 seasons with less than 20 games played. The guy is made of glass, or he doesn't know how to protect himself.
@@85blutch oh same this year is his last chance imo. But with him in the lineup the team is way better
Guhle played 70 games and was kept out of the final games purely as a preventative measure. He played at the worlds once the season was over.
@@RandomPlaceHolderName hope was just preventif cause only 44 and 70 gp in first 2 nhl season scare me
@@yassimchenard243 He was clearly rushed his rookie year. I think Barron, Xhekaj and Guhle were all rushed to the NHL by MSL.
Something I find interesting is that so much of the hockey world is trade talking with Marner, but I never hear anyone talk about trade proposals to the Habs. As a Habs fan, I'm not sure how I would feel about him on the team, but Montreal seems to fit all of the boxes for a Marner trade:
- Needs more forward production offensively, Marner has that
- Has the cap space to spend on him
- Toronto needs blue liners and draft picks, Montreal has tons of blue liners and draft picks to trade
- Age wise, fits their rebuild window pretty well
Maybe it's just my bias but I really don't see this team as being bad next season. Primeau is a lot better goalie than people give him credit for and I think a lot of the young players are ready for the NHL.
So Im new to the sport and I have to ask: why are Montreal called the Habs? Where does the origin come from? Thanks for the insight.
The Canadiens were founded in 1909 as the "French" team in Montreal to compete in the Montreal market against the Maroons who were considered to cater to the English speaking community in Montreal. That is why the name is spelled "Canadiens" and not "Canadians". The term "Canadien" was used at that time to refer to the french speaking community. And because those french speaking people (mainly living in the province of Quebec) where considered by English "bourgeoisie" as farmers, they were called the "Habitants" which litterally means "resident" or "inhabitant" but in Quebec means farmers or settlers, So Habs meant at the time french speaking Quebecers!
Habs need another top six forward otherwise they are pretty decent and a good bet to make the playoffs. Daniel Sprong would be a good option for 2 years. Habs open the year with..
Caufield- Suzuki- Slafkovsky
Newhook- Dach- Sprong
Roy- Beck- Gallagher
Armia- Evans- Anderson
Dvorak, Pezzetta, Harris
Mathenson- Guhlie
Savard- Hutson
Wifi- Mailloux
Montembeault
Primeau
Please stop with Wifi, his nickname is The Sheriff, he doesn't like Wifi.
Lmfao sure buddy have sprong. Put him in your top 6. You will soon see why detroit isn't keeping him.
Bud it’s past your bedtime. The adults are talking.
Sprong? I doubt the Habs will get him.
@@Aebischer1984 Adult's don't make dumb signing suggestions and then post imaginary lineups online
lol I was wondering why the comments weren’t working on the previous video
Hutson and Reinbacher should start in laval until chrismas after that we'll see. Mailloux must outshine the competition and i think he can if not laval too. Gallagher can not be top 6 the legs can't follow any more, if Armia (a big if) continues to play like he did at the end of last year could be a fit on the top 6, but Roy should grab that spot if he's ready
@@mathieulavoie2405 zero chance Hutson doesn't make the habs
24-25 will be the habs 3rd year of the rebuild, they are nowhere ready to make a push and this is fine. people need to relax with trading matheson and Anderson.
Kent Hughes's plan is in the cap : Anderson and Galhager contracts ends in 2027. so 27-28 is where they make their push to the top.
i think when you have multiple takes to do like that you should mentally see it as if youre a teacher having many groups to go through :P
What would happen if I bet 100$ on every team in the league though? Guaranteed win (don’t look at the losses)
Les Habituales
"lose Price and Weber to injury, neither has played an NHL game since..."
Correction: Price did play 5 games at the end of the following season (though he was clearly not at 100%). However, he never played in the NHL after that.
So if I bet 5$ on the Cup to the Habs in 2025, I would win 1,000$ 🤔 hmmm
I was so early it said "this video has been removed by the uploader"😂
0 chance Gallagher plays in the top 6. lol
You got it right, gallagher is not top 6
I like josh anderson more than Gally
Suzuki, Caufield, slafzilla, dach, newhook
No question top 5, then that 6th spot... Roy sure
Habs will finish 15th in the east
10:40 Nah, RHP is a 4th liner with big heart but limited talent.
