  QUIET CONFIDENCE: Montreal Canadiens AVOID Mistakes, TARGET Internal Growth & Demidov's IMPACT

  Aug 16, 202640 min

  Montreal Canadiens fans wonder: is Sam Montembeault set for a bounce-back as backup goalie, or should Jacob Fowler leap straight to the NHL? With training camp looming, Laura Saba, Ian Boisvert, and guest Jordan Hachey break down the Canadiens’ quiet offseason and ask whether Kent Hughes’ patient strategy will pay off. The debate heats up over David Reinbacher’s development and whether Montreal’s defensive future hangs in the balance if he isn’t ready to step up. Key topics include Lane Hutson’s potential, the evolving locker room leadership in the absence of Brendan Gallagher, and the team’s search for a reliable second-line center. The crew compares NHL goalie stats, weighs major and minor concerns for 2024-25, and even tackles which non-French Canadian player best embodies true Quebec energy.
