About this episode
The Montreal Canadiens are one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now, currently sitting in the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Max is joined by The Athletic’s own Arpon Basu to talk about the Habs rebuild, Lane Hutson’s game, and how the playoffs could work in a 36-team league. Before that, The Athletic’s NHL insider Chris Johnston joins the show to recap last week’s GM meetings, including changes to next year’s All-Star weekend, potential Houston expansion, and the great playoff races happening as the season winds down.
