Marc Denis: A lot To Like From Habs Win In Toronto!

How would you describe the identity of this version of the Montreal Canadiens?

The Jays are a big spending team that went to the World Series a year ago. They finished below 500 and last in the division this year. How desirable of a market do you think Toronto is for free agents to sign in during the off season?

Do you spend any time thinking about Patrik Laine? Here we are with the season underway and he isnt signed to a team. Why?

Arpon Basu: What Does A Successful Habs Season Look Like?

Habs pre-season is over! Give me a one player positive that came out of Habs camp

David Reinbacher didn’t make the Habs out of camp because…

Where is Brock Purdy in the way too early NFL MVP Race? He’s completed over 72% of his passes. He’s 9 touchdowns and 1 INT. His 49ers are 3-0 and 2-0 against the division.

When it comes to a grilled cheese? Do you have a hack? Better bread? Cheeses? Mayo on the bread instead of butter? Give me your best grilled cheese sando

Darren Dreger: Could The Habs 2C Come From Within?

What do you think about Mark Scheifele as a fit with the Canadiens if in fact the Jets were motivated to move him to Montreal? Should the Habs make that move?

What should the NY Giants do? Keep Jameis Winston or make a trade because we all know Jameis makes his fair share of bad decisions.

What team do you have more questions about: Packers or Texans?

Is Kirby Dach the new whipping boy? Deserved or undeserved if you believe that he is?

How much disrespect did Aaron Rodgers throw at his new coach, Mike McCarthy?

Let’s get crazy! You talk about Montreal as a destination market these days for a lot players. Could it be Connor McDavid one day? Could it be Nikita Kucherov? If you had to pick one superstar you could see come here, would that guy be McDavid or Kucherov?

It’s officially fall! Breakout the hoodies and the fall jackets. It’s also pumpkin spice time! Are you down for a special pumpkin spice fancy coffee drink?

Dave Pagnotta of the Fourth Period joins Campbell vs Gallo to go around the NHL on his first appearance of the season!

Florian Xhekaj has had a really nice start to his pre-season. The Habs have 13 forwards under contract, doesn’t seem like there’s any room for him to make this team. Which forward on this team do you think is facing the most pressure?

The Alouettes are on their bye week after a win over Hamilton. They’ve feasted on the East division and are unbeaten at home. Level of concern when they need to matchup against the better teams from the West in the games that matter the most come playoff time?

Atlantic division prediction time! The Leafs added a bunch of new faces, the Ottawa Senators traded their captain this summer. Who do you think finishes with more points, Ottawa or Toronto?

Is shorts season over? Outside of the odd day, but is it time to put the shorts away until next summer?
