A solid game from the Canadiens even in defeat. Many players showed promise, but one issue was clear.

Here’s the opener of the Call Of The Wilde for Global Montreal.

Call of the Wilde: Canadiens’ season gets off to familiar start with 5-2 loss to Toronto - Montreal | Globalnews.ca

For five years, every time the Canadiens played in Toronto, they were dominated. Despite their win, the Leafs did not dominate like they have for so long. Brian Wilde has more.

Nothing to see here.

Just a 6th-round pick from the 2023 draft putting up over a point per game in the Swedish Hockey League…😈 #GoHabsGo

Habs fans, the Laval Rocket are kicking off their AHL season with a visit to the Manitoba Moose at 8PM EST tonight.

So tune in if you can to see prospects like Owen Beck, Florian Xhekaj, Adam Engstrom, Jacob Fowler, Filip Mesar, Sean Farrell, Tyler Thrope, Luke Tuch, Joshua Roy and Jared Davidson.

Overreacting? Maybe.

Do I care? Definitely not.

Another great Call of the Wilde from @bwildemtl.bsky.social following a #Habs win. I added some thoughts already on X, but here’s some more. Lori Answers the ☎️. 🧵

Impressive win by the Canadiens in Detroit. No Wilde Goats to speak of and a lot of positives. However, one bone to pick in the Wilde Cards in this Call Of the Wilde for Global Montreal.

Montreal should not have been the fresher of the two teams, after travelling overnight after their loss to Toronto, but they were. Brian Wilde has more.

Perfect attitude. Mentally tough. Impressed.

Brian Wilde @bwildemtl.bsky.social · 1d

Tim, thanks for all the great coverage from you and your team.

Looking forward to all the pieces what next year’s roster will look like and who they should sign to get stronger.

Brian Wilde @bwildemtl.bsky.social · 1d

A very united group. Which we always knew.

This is sports.

Nucleus is there. Let’s give it another shot next year.

Brian Wilde @bwildemtl.bsky.social · 1d

Wow. Impressive. Mentally strong kid. He’s gonna be fine.

Brian Wilde @bwildemtl.bsky.social · 1d

What a clip. Amazing answer.

Brian Wilde @bwildemtl.bsky.social · 1d

Nice to read the first of hopefully many Call of the Wilde columns that follow Habs wins this year. While it's likely you're on point with Laine, Marty has done wonders reinventing Andy and Gally. I'd give it some time still with Laine. He seems to want to be here.

Totally agreed on Laine. I would go back to last year's first PP unit of Suzuki, Caufield, Laine, Slafkovsky, and Hutson or start the second unit on the power play from time to time. Habs are better off having Veleno on the fourth line with Evans and Anderson at this point.

Matheson is really playing well.

You got to hope a third player can also score.

Bolduc and Kapanen both back to back nights.

Brendan Gallagher sends the feed to Zack Bolduc and the Habs are on the board!

Great recap Brian.. looking forward to your analysis for another season :)

Agree that part of Marty’s “it starts right now” mantra needs to apply to him too.. they need a PP1 with Dem

P.S. I’ll give Dach a pass on the 2nd goal.. Xhekaj falling & losing his man who then scores I put on Arber.

Good synopsis from fans are welcome after a Call Of The Wilde.

Can’t have any success here without you.

Scott Thompson @kemptvillehabsfan.bsky.social · 2d

Excellent article, Brian.
Absolutely agree regarding Demidov.

All the skill in the world , won't help him score in the defensive end .

I thought newcomers Dobson and Bolduc looked solid .

Strong game from Slaf and Caulfield.

Matheson looked good as did Hutson.

But 2C must be addressed.
