@HockeyJunkie Talks Habs Fans Patience with Rebuild, Prospects, Martin St. Louis & More
Montreal Canadiens youtube sensation Hockey Junkie talks Habs prospects, Canadiens rebuild, Martin St. Louis, Corey Perry, Josh Anderson, Brendan Gallagher, and much more.
Hockey junkie !! Wow ! It’s my first time hearing you talk not on your show !! Your a real person. Lol. Yes yes I know your real. Your lines are amazing! Where were you born ? Is that an accent that you have going on ?? It’s quite cool. Go habs go ! We are better then people think
Gotta think 2025 is when Hughes wants to start making playoffs consistently. He's talked a couple times about the draft capital they have for that year and the potential for a big trade.
Great show guys !! I see progress and love the prospects all things considered it's like watching your young child taking its first steps last year to grow into a 15 year old this year… Hoping that next year will look like a full grown adult with lots of talent 🍻
Depending how Perry feels I could see him filing suit against the Blackhawks to get the $3 million left on his deal, if what he did was not specifically against any team policy. If he doesn't file, pretty good indication from Perry he doesn't want to go public with his actions.
I don't necessarily think Habs fans "want to win now". We just want to have reason to believe that HUGO are putting the team in a position to succeed and seriously contend later. But I'm afraid I just don't see it. We have ZERO elite prospects. We have enough solid third-line prospects to stock two NHL teams. But that doesn't win Cups.
Always an entertaining show with two of the best for Habs online content. Good job boys! Re: Patience…I think the key for Hab fans patience is based on if we can see improvement, mainly from the young core/prospects and if we can see the consistent effort, building chemistry, and exciting hockey…fans will be more inclined to give Habs mgmt/coaching time. If we do not see improvement season to season, pressure from fans and media will definitely be felt. Re: Anderson, he just needs a game versus the Leafs to get out of his funk. Re: MSL, obviously a great hockey mind who can definitely relate to players having to deal with the ups and downs of the NHL but his lack of coaching experience I feel will eventually catch up to him. But who knows, he was hired to grow with a young rebuilding team. IMO, he would have been a great coach, but way too early to be made a head coach. Re: Hab prospects, we have good quality and quantity so solid depth, but what we lack is elite offensive talent (I know, Hutson…possibly Reinbacher…some might say Roy. A star in junior, NCAA, even AHL, does not guarantee an NHL star. Time will tell.)
Matt's awesome! Thanks for having him on! We're already talking about the Habs possibly picking up Celebrini next summer if they continue to crash but realistically speaking, it makes me sick to my stomach to think that the honor might go to Chicago.. Especially now that they dropped one of their better players in Perry… BARF!!
Habs rebuilding is code for saying they are the only team afraid to make big trades. Rebuilding is BS they have been rebuilding for 30 years. Ticket sales are high with a bad team explaining why Habs don't care about the fans.
So great to hear Drew and Matt together. Drew Dekes and Hockey Junkie are my two favourite people. My smile and a good chuckle everyday from Hockey Junkie.

St. Louis way too soft of a coach. Doesn’t have to get to Torts level but has to stop treating them like children.

Great work fellas as always! What’s my nickname Junkie? It better be good!
The announcement that Kirby was done for the year almost made me sick

I think hockey junkie is a bot because we never see his face.
