The Montreal Canadiens had a rough 0–2 weekend, and we break down everything that went wrong. From the surprising scratch of Brendan Gallagher to some disappointing performances, we look at which players struggled and where things unraveled for the team.We also highlight some positives, including strong showings from Ivan Demidov, Juraj Slafkovský, Alexandre Texier, and another calm performance from Jacob Fowler.We discuss the development of Lane Hutson and Kaiden Guhle, whether lineup changes are needed, Slafkovský’s playmaking growth, and Cole Caufield sitting one goal away from the 40-goal mark.To close the episode, we’re joined by goalie development expert Pierce Diamond of Diamond Cut Goaltending to break down the Canadiens’ goaltending situation. We talk about the rotation between Fowler, Jakub Dobeš, and Samuel Montembeault, the mental side of goaltending, and whether Montreal should pick one goalie to run with down the stretch.A lot to unpack after a tough weekend in Montreal.
