🚨HABSCAST LIVE LUNCH AT NOON!🚨
Lots of turkey sandwiches today for our American brethren, but we're serving up two Big Macs today on HabsCast Live Lunch. @EricMacramalla joins me to set the table for Montreal's visit to Vegas today.

Liam has liked how Florian has looked so far, and with good reason:

Reinbacher has an underrated shot. No one was stopping this one. #Habs

This was insanity! Fowler gets pitchforked into his net, and not only is there no penalty called - the puck enters the net while he's still down, and it's ruled a goal. Fowler, who is usually cool as a cucumber, has every reason to be red hot. Incompetence! #Laval #Habs

Snake gives the edge to Stenberg over McKenna at this point.

I'm not saying the #Habs shouldn't have traded for Dobson...only that Heineman may not have been part of the deal if he had been given a better opportunity last season. He'd look good in Montreal's top six right now.

"There's no Celebrini in this draft."

Simon Boisvert doesn't buy the hype on Gavin McKenna. Do you agree?

I will be chatting with Simon "The Snake" Boisvert this morning! We have loads to talk about. Look for the episode on our HabsCast YouTube channel at lunchtime.

If Hughes can pull off a Monahan-type deal for Stamkos and perhaps get some salary retained...given MSL and Lecavalier's history with him and his storied past, might playing with Suzuki and Caufield revive him? It's a consideration for the #Habs.

Slaf deserved two points last night, and looking at the replay in slo-motion, it's pretty evident that he tipped Hutson's shot.

The Habs need to stop the Fancy Dan perimeter passing crap on power plays:

This won't be a popular opinion, but perhaps it's time to drop Demidov and Hutson down to the second power play for a spell (they may excel against secondary PK units), park Slaf in the slot, and get some greasy PP goals.

Montreal's depth at center is not something I have seen in many decades. It should result in several years of serious contention.

I'm not sure I have ever seen a prospect who has improved more over 20 months than Zharovsky. It bodes well for his future. #GoHabsGo

In 1966, the Habs weren't too impressed when the Red Wings showed up at their practice sporting cigars. This is a great interview with Habs legend Yvan Cournoyer and @Liams_Hockey.

A peach of an interview between @Liams and Yvan Cournoyer today. The Roadrunner reveals how he managed to get ice time in his early years when he was essentially a spare forward at even strength under Toe Blake.😂

Yvan knew to sit on the other end of the bench when he was on the ice for a goal against with Toe at the helm, LOL!

The Roadrunner!! An absolute pleasure to produce and interview between @Liams_Hockey and Yvan Cournoyer this morning. Look for it at 6 pm on HabsCast's YouTube channel www.youtube.com/@recruteshab... and find out why he doesn't like Detroit!

Refs evened up the calls because Slaf gave him a poke back for THIS? It should have been four on Hathaway at a minimum.

Hathaway utilized his "Get out of Jail Free" card last night.
