On Jase - Maintenant, place aux choses sérieuses!

Bruno GervaisGUEST
Je peux comprendre les gens qui sont surpris par ça via les performances de David Rimbacher dans le camp de sélection.

Mais c'est une bonne décision, oui ou non, et que Fowler s'en aille à l'aval pour être devant le filet presque à chaque match, c'est une bonne chose aussi, Bruno ?
On Jase - Des décisions à prendre très bientôt

Bruno GervaisGUEST
de ça? Bien, tu sais, si on pourrait en parler tellement longtemps avec Florian Jacquet, Pour moi, s'il retourne à Laval, ce n'est pas mauvais.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Mais la façon que Pascal Vincent, Daniel Jacob, Martin Laverrière, le staff qui était là, a pris soin de lui, l'ont guidé à Laval, c'est très impressionnant.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Quand il est arrivé, lui venait de connaître une superbe saison à 20 ans dans la Ligue de l'Ontario.

Dan ShearerHOST
Nothing crazy, obviously, but for people who have never been in a high-level ball hockey tournament or anything like that, what would surprise them the most about the level of play that's gonna be going on?
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Well, the quickness, um, for me, like even like just playing, but the quickness and the quality of how they can move the ball so well, because the goalies have the pretty much the same equipment that you have on the ice.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
They just have the little paddings inside to help them slide a little bit, but it's pretty much the same size.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Uh, and sometimes I look at a goalie, I never, I don't see net at all, and I, I don't know how the heck do they find the back of the net, but they move the ball so fast, and the way the speed that's in the league now, it's crazy to watch.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
So that's real impressive, and it's, you know, obviously being that, you know, three-on-three, uh, that man-on-man mentality and how they move and the, the rotating, the permutation that they're doing to try to create some offense, and then one inch, you give one inch to a guy and he's gonna find a way, uh, you know, to put the ball there.

Situement, me semble qu'on, on pourrait finir que Larkin serait peut-être échangé contre Jason Robertson.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Ben, dans les deux cas, tu sais, si, si d'un côté, si Detroit est prêt à faire ça, parce que les demandes de Robertson sont quand même très élevées.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Puis là, j'ai hâte de voir comment il va réagir avec le dix-huit millions qui est envoyé à Karlsson.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Mais, euh, si, si Detroit est capable de faire ça, tu sais, le Eiser Plan a s'est essoufflé beaucoup à Detroit.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Tu sais, Yzerman est une légende pour les Wings de Detroit, c'est une légende de la Ligue nationale.
A
81:36Anthony MarcotteHOST
Anthony Mantha, est-ce que tu es surpris qu'il n'y ait toujours pas de contrat à l'heure actuelle ? Parce que moi, je m'attendais à ce que ça sorte dès le premier juillet, mais là, on est dix jours après, puis il n'y a toujours rien pour Anthony.

Conor McKennaHOST
Um, Reinbacher or Engstrom, uh, who's, uh, who's closer to perhaps, uh, w- getting a job in the NHL?
Bruno GervaisGUEST
I think it, it's hard, because it really... uh, for me, Engstrom is ahead of, uh, Reinbacher right now.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Um, and the f- sometimes it, it depends on what you need, right? I think Reinbacher is gonna get a chance.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
You gotta evaluate within your organization, and I think Reinbacher had quantity and the quality of games last year.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Um, he had some, a re- a big workload, which was good for him, because obviously with all the injuries early on.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
So I think he deserve- he's gonna deserve a chance where he's gonna get to camp, and I expect him to be part of that rotation with the, the veteran guys, and be part of these games where he's gonna be put in a good situation, probably gonna play exhibition games, and he's gonna be partnered with a veteran to play against NHL guys and really get that evaluation where he's at now.

Bruno GervaisGUEST
Ben moi, je pense que Dobesh va avoir, c'est sûr, un grand pas d'avance sur ce rôle-là. Je pense qu'ils vont avoir un partage.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Il a été devant le filet, quoi, c'est quarante-trois matchs pour lui cette année.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Euh, il va avoir-- c'est pas un scénario de soixante-cinq matchs pour un, puis dix-neuf pour l'autre, mettons là.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Moi, ce qu'on a vu cette année, ce que j'aimais, comme Tony disait, c'est que quand il y en a un qui embarquait sur une vague, là, t'sais, il y a une vague qui se créait, là, ben les Canadiens embarquaient dessus puis surfaient pendant un moment.
5 MINS LATER
76:23
Selon vous, va-t-il y avoir des signes de ralentissement ou on va revoir le même Alex Ovechkin dangereux, Bruno ?

M
5:21Mitch MelnickHOST
Fr- from what you saw this season, how close is someone like Florian Xhekaj to potentially nabbing that p- na- nabbing that, excuse me, as soon as training camp?
Bruno GervaisGUEST
I really, really like the way that Pascal Vincent and Martel Appiah and the organization, you know, placed Florian Xhekaj on the PK.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Plus, he had a little bit of a bonus of, like, offensive time and, and, you know, the power play once in a while and, and, and different situation.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
But, like, on the lineup on the board, he was used Same way he could be used in the NHL, and that can- that could be the success.
6 MINS LATER
M
12:27Mitch MelnickHOST
But Bruno, your thoughts on the, on the Demidov signing, and to Mark's point there, I know it resonates with anybody who's played professional hockey for any length of time, how impressive that is to see those guys on the ice that early, whether it's a development camp or an off day or whatever.
Gervais: The Canadiens have built a great culture

M
0:54Mitch MelnickHOST
What held him back ultimately, and do you think he has a chance to, uh, to reestablish himself as an NHL player with Utah?
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Talent-wise, he's got tremendous talent, and sometimes in life, you know, I think for me, things r- uh, really happened fast for Joshua to get a chance with Montreal, and to become a, a, a later pick into a, a prime prospect, uh, to be able to join the NHL at a young age.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Especially what he did with the, uh, U20 World Junior Tournament, the two tournaments that he did, and getting, I think it was 19 points out of those two tournaments.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
And right after that, it, within, like, his first year pro, he played 23 games in the NHL.
John StillHOST
Fr- from what you saw this season, how close is someone like Florian Xhekaj to potentially nabbing that p- na- nabbing that, excuse me, as soon as training camp?
Laraque et Gonzalez - Intégral du 29-06-2026
75:45
75:56
75:22
Là, y a-t-il un point où est-ce que Kent Hughes n'aura pas le choix de surpayer et de ne pas s'assurer de faire une transaction qui va sortir gagnant, mais d'en donner un petit peu plus pour pouvoir répliquer, Bruno ?
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Le Canadien n'était pas dans l'émotion puis de vouloir juste répliquer rapidement, parce que tout ce que tu viens de nommer là, ça n'a même pas fait ses preuves encore.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Oui, c'est fatiguant à voir en pleurer les deux Tkachuk, puis un Bennett dans la même formation, puis on en oublie d'autres, mais il n'y a rien de ça qui va être garant.
Gervais: I expect the Canadiens to be active on the phones

2:51speaker_2HOST
I'd wanna go pretty hard," and not, I don't wanna say all in, but pretty hard on trying to get this player to come to Montreal?
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Well, depending on where you read or what you listen to, there's been many names linked to Montreal.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
It's a place that you, you wanna go in the NHL, uh, with the young team and the core and everything that they've been building.

76:42Anthony MarcotteHOST
Ça peut-tu nuire, ça, à une relation entre le joueur et son équipe pour laquelle il a signé un contrat à long terme, d'entendre son nom galvaudé d'un bord puis de l'autre depuis six mois ?
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Puis tu sais, t'as beau penser que c'est la business, puis ils ont beau venir te voir après puis te dire : Câline, c'est, c'est, c'est toi qu'ils veulent.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Puis c'est sûr qu'il y a de l'achalandage, mais quand tu viens de signer ce genre de contrat, tu sais, t'es un jeune joueur à Toronto, euh, tu passes à travers des temps difficiles.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Tu sais, l'année passée, c'était pas évident d'être un joueur des, des Leafs de Toronto.

Bruno GervaisGUEST
Puis c'est, c'est là le, le délicat, tu sais, c'est qu'il était dans son avantage.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Il m'a dit que là, tu vas arriver à Toronto, ça va être une dynamique pas mal moins-- ça va être très différent parce que Kucherov est un des, c'est probablement le meilleur joueur d'avantage numérique pour fournir tous les gars autour de lui.
13 MINS LATER
A
146:53Anthony MarcotteHOST
Quel joueur entre les deux que je te nomme va avoir eu au fil de leur carrière le plus grand impact dans leur équipe ? Patrice Bergeron pour les Bruins de Boston ou Carey Price pour le Canadien de Montréal.

But for Nick, just, you know, uh, what's been the biggest development or growth in your eyes in terms of his defensive abilities from last season to this season?
Bruno GervaisGUEST
He, he's been there, like, and, uh, I think even in last year he had more opportunities on the PK.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
There was a lot more spotlight on him, and I think the work that he did last year got him to be really, you know, considered for Team Canada.
John StillHOST
But man, they do look like just every overtime period this season, they look like the '93 Canadiens.

Bruno GervaisGUEST
Alors, alors ça, tu sais, ça-- je vais te dire, c'est un défenseur qui est très très dur, qui est capable, qui est physique, qui est capable d'en bloquer des shots, mais de celle-là dans le visage.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Moi, ça m'a fait penser à un moment donné, je sais pas si vous vous rappelez du défenseur Jack Allen.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Un désavantage numérique, il a reçu un tir sur réception d'Ovechkin qui était parti du top des cercles, qui avait trois-- fait trois enjambées avant de faire un tir sur une rondelle qui était debout.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Mais nous, Jack Allen, c'était un gars, c'était un personnage de dessin animé, tellement la mâchoire était carrée.

Give us your scenario of a win that will force game six back in Montreal on Sunday.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Well, just the fact that we always say that fourth game is the hardest to get because there's always a ...
Bruno GervaisGUEST
I, I wouldn't say like a, a let go, but just the fact that when you end up in that situation, you got nothing to lose.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
I know that losing this game means that your season is over, but the fact that everything's pointing towards you being out.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
So if you're gonna go down, you go down swinging and you're gonna be on your toes and you're gonna go throw everything at them, even the kitchen sink, everything you can to try to create something.
John StillHOST
But this has not been good enough from Cole Caufield, and I wonder what you've seen from him in these playoffs that makes you think that, you know, why we are at this point where the Canadiens' 50-goal man has really hardly contributed a five-on-five in the postseason.

Bruno GervaisGUEST
Tu as eu, tu as un trio, tu as parlé de Junkowski, il y a quelques joueurs de soutien qui tirent leur épingle du jeu puis qui viennent aider.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Ce n'est pas évident parce que c'est tellement sous la loupe en séries éliminatoires que quand tu as ton joueur clé qui fonctionne, tu as nommé l'exemple des Golden Knights, mais Marner qui est là.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Tu vas tout le temps avoir besoin de tout le monde dans ta formation, puis tu peux défaire tout ça, puis de donner une valeur à tous ceux qui vont aider une équipe à gagner.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Quand tu as besoin du résultat à la toute fin, c'est Nick Suzuki, Marc, en échappée hier, mais là, la conversation se dirige ailleurs.

Petit commentaire rapide, Bruno, sur ce que tu viens d'entendre dans ce qui a été dit puis ce qui a été pas dit, parce qu'il y en a beaucoup de pas dit.
Hour 3 - Habs Recap with Bruno Gervais!
37:21
37:44
37:56
John StillHOST
In that first period, I don't know, I guess I'm not tactically knowledgeable enough to know how Carolina usually plays those things, but is that just who they are? Are they that hyper-aggressive, and do you think that that's something that the Canadians can continue to exploit the rest of this series?
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Their deer are going to try to keep the puck in the ozone, which they actually did a bunch of times.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Even if it didn't go out, the Doves would make a save or they'd block that one shot or they'd survive these storms that Carolina loves to create because that's how they go.

T'en penses quoi, Bruno ? Ça peut fonctionner ou dans la Ligue nationale de hockey d'aujourd'hui, tu te dois de t'ajuster également à l'adversaire, sinon tu vas passer dans le mythe.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Ben c'est sûr, c'est sûr que si tu t'ajustes aucunement à l'adversaire, tu vas, tu vas te passer dans, tu vas passer dans le mythe, ça, c'est sûr, comme tu viens de le dire.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Euh, il y a eu un peu de malchance, il y a eu--, tout a cliqué pour le Canadien qui ont été très opportunistes.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Ils n'ont pas besoin de beaucoup de tirs, mais ils ont une qualité, une quantité de francs-tireurs qui peuvent battre le gardien, euh, et qui profitent de leurs occasions.

[rire] Ça sentait le brûlé chez vous aussi ? C'est ça, ça sent le brûlé hein ? C'est pour ça.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Non, moi, ce que je pense des Hurricanes, c'est que présentement aussi, tu sais, il y a quatre matchs.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Quand tu es en série éliminatoire, des petites périodes de temps sont amplifiées.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Les Hurricanes, présentement, bénéficient d'un Stan Cuven qui est en feu, d'un Jackson Blake qui, qui a été en feu, d'un Taylor Hall qui a joué de l'excellent hockey.

Gervais on the Habs beating the Sabres in Game 7, the heroics and growth of Dobes & if the Habs can beat the Hurricanes
5:43
5:57
9:52
Bruno GervaisGUEST
But for me, I could go on and on for hours with Dobesh, because I do the color for the Laval Rocket, and we saw Dobesh come in, you know, year one as a professional, and he went to Laval to start, and it was night and day.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Like, when he first got there, Marco Marciano was the goalie coach there in Laval, and It was rough.

Michael KorolnekHOST
Do you think those odds are right? Do the Habs have a 25% chance of winning, in your opinion, or a little bit more?

M
36:49Mitch MelnickHOST
But did it feel to you like the Sabres just kind of gave up on that game yesterday in a way that, uh, I don't think was a particularly, um, a particularly positive way to go into a do-or-die game number six?
Bruno GervaisGUEST
Since we saw what Anderson did to Greenway in front, and then that, I think, was game two, um, right at that moment, Montreal took the advantage of that, the physical side or the, you would call it the intimidation side of what you get in the playoffs.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
And the, the way Thompson is playing, Dallyn is playing, even their big bodies, the way they're playing, for me, it's an amazing season for Buffalo.
Bruno GervaisGUEST
You never say it's over, but there's-- If it stays the same off-season, uh, c- where the compete level was good, but it didn't go to the next level, and that's gonna leave you with a lot of question mark and a lot of still adjustment and work to do in the off-season.
M
40:39Mitch MelnickHOST
I, I-- it's almost as if the fans giving up on the Sabres led the Sabres to give up on themselves.
