Will Marchenko score six goals in his Leafs debut tonight to prove all the Hughes baiters wrong, or just notch four? Our Italian import @Rick1042 will join me pre-game on HabsCast at 6:30 to set the table for the season opener between the Leafs and Habs. #GoHabsGo youtube.com/live/bbh5HUC...

I, for one, am not disappointed that the Habs didn't land Marchenko. What about you? #GoHabsGo Watch this HabsCast here 👇 www.youtube.com/live/O5bPfi3...

Frustrated to see Reinbacher sent down again, but I have a feeling at least one defenceman will be showcased and moved before Guhle returns. #GoHabsGo Watch this HabsCast here 👇 youtube.com/live/t8ffntL...

WOW! Reinbacher & Fowler OUT, Xhekaj & Engstrom IN!

Carrier played with Hutson for most of camp, so presumably the plan is to start the season with those two together. #GoHabsGo Watch this HabsCast here 👇 youtube.com/live/t8ffntL...

Grant McCagg @mccagg.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

🔴⚪🔵LIVE AT 5🔴⚪🔵 Okay - these cuts surprised me. Flo and Engstrom in....Reinbacher and Fowler out! Not so much Fowler, but the other moves caught me off guard. Join me at 5 PM for a special edition HabsCast and share your thoughts. #GoHabsGo Watch this HabsCast here 👇 youtube.com/live/t8ffntL...

Habs are lauded for thinking outside the box...so why not try this for a goalie strategy? 😉#GoHabsGo Watch this HabsCast here 👇 www.youtube.com/live/Pa5r6sh...

Over the span of 10 months, the Fowler narrative changed from "calling him up may ruin him" to "sending him down may ruin him." Monty will likely start the year as the backup. #GoHabsGo Watch this HabsCast here 👇 www.youtube.com/live/Pa5r6sh...

The Habs had 106 points last season with Oliver Kapanen as the second-line center, so why can the media not fathom that Hughes might be okay with trying him in that role again? #GoHabsGo Watch this HabsCast here 👇 www.youtube.com/live/MLLZxNR...

Hage/Kapanen for Scheifele????

I could not disagree more with the widespread contention that Dach has been poor so far this pre-season. Marty moving him up to the second line with Demidov out tells me the coaching staff agrees. #GoHabsGo 🔴⚪🔵FULL PODCAST HERE:🎙️ youtube.com/live/lvfselT...

Trevor Timmins was kind enough to share a couple of memories that stood out from his time working under Habs owner George Gillett, who passed away yesterday. There is a clip of George speaking about Jean Béliveau's passing in the podcast that you may want to watch. #GoHabsGo

Dach set up several teammates for excellent scoring opportunities and had two himself in those two games. If they convert even two of them, folks would be singing his praises instead of criticizing. #GoHabsGo 🔴⚪🔵FULL PODCAST HERE:🎙️ www.youtube.com/live/lvfselT...

The Kirby Dach Narrative Is Simply False

Soft? Lazy? Disinterested? Just three of the descriptions I've heard from the Anti-Dachers this pre-season. I don't think they have been paying very close attention. Lots more video with lots more examples to break down at 7 PM on HabsCast. #GoHabsGo 🔴 LIVE 7 PM www.youtube.com/live/lvfselT...

Has Florian played well enough to earn a spot on the Canadiens' opening-night roster? Absolutely. Does that mean he will start in Montreal? Probably not. #GoHabsGo Watch tonight's HabsCast here 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubmR...

Reinbacher & Florian Xhekaj Have Proved They're Ready

Has Kirby Dach been lethargic this pre-season? You tell me. (And no, this wasn't his only good shift, as the 19-minute video will demonstrate.) I'll be breaking down Dach's first two games extensively on tonight's HabsCast. #GoHabsGo 🔴⚪🔵 LIVE at 7 PM ET youtube.com/live/lvfselT...

2132

🔴⚪🔵 LIVE AT 7 PM ET 🔴⚪🔵 The narrative about Kirby Dach's preseason is simply false. I've gone through the video from both games. Tonight, I'll show you the evidence. Lazy? Bad? Waivers?! The video tells a very different story. #GoHabsGo Watch tonight's HabsCast here 👇 youtube.com/live/lvfselT...

I admittedly get frustrated with those who refuse to consider that recovery from major knee surgeries takes time. Dach has become the whipping boy, and to some degree, at the very least, it is unjust. #GoHabsGo 🔴⚪🔵FULL PODCAST HERE:🎙️ youtube.com/live/iIPjyh9...

Robinson was 21 when he made the Habs midway through his second AHL season. Reinbacher's age when he (IMO) makes the Habs out of training camp? 21. Patience is a virtue. #GoHabsGo 🔴⚪🔵FULL PODCAST HERE:🎙️ youtube.com/live/iIPjyh9...
