Montreal Canadiens trade rumours continue to swirl with some crazy updates on Larkin, and Kent Hughes' aggressiveness. Josh Gosse and Jesse Poirier chat about all of it on this episode of Habs Digest…
Hey, even when Nick Suzuki has to take a seat for a couple weeks, you know, the lead leadership still has to be there for Montreal there have been a lot of guys stepping up Jake Evans wearing the a which was a huge theme of yesterday's video after his one of the best games of his career might I say but a big thing too is Cole Caulfield stepping up we've seen him with the a on his chest on occasion as well but he called out jack i and dobesh recently for their penalties and we remember this we saw him say hey you know like it wasn't a direct wow they were horrible but you know there was a few quotes we'll show a few here you know shoot ourselves in the foot no need for any of those penalties it's on us it's our mistakes and then you go here he said well we were playing well and stupid penalties things we don't need to do And then talking even about Arborjack, I don't think anybody wanted to fight him on that team, which is good.
But in general, Jesse, there was a lot of talk after the game, like, is this an okay thing to say? Is this not? But I love what Stu Cowan, a fantastic writer, of course, check out the article, what he had to say about it.
There were a few quotes will flash up on screen, but the main thing, no problem with Caulfield calling them out.
How do you think this has been sort of an underrated storyline as we've developed year over year? He's a silly guy, but clearly the guys respect his voice.
Yeah, it's not a problem, but it's a little bit surprising because we haven't really heard this very often in Habsland.
We know the culture is amazing, but we're getting to that next level where there's absolutely a place for this with a leader like Cole Caulfield saying so.
And again, there's not a coincidence, right, Josh, between like obviously Cole Caulfield saying this and then the Montreal Canadiens playing a much more mature third period.
with the two goal lead and then getting the victory so there's one thing of saying this and then again like it really resonating with the team and then getting the all-important two points the results at the end of the day because of it and this is important at the same time right like not just obviously maybe just saying those words but who's saying it because we know there's a little bit of a history with martin st louis and arbor jack guy And if that's, this criticism's come from Martin St. Louis, it's made me come across a little bit harsh.
We truly need leaders like Cole Caulfield to step up for this team, which I really believe that he's going to do here.
But at the same time, is this about also knowing that the Montreal Canadiens are a very good team? And is this about limiting those unforced errors?
And now what we're noticing is that like, Jack, I was very disciplined in general in that game and Dobesh.
