Inside today’s Locked on Canadiens
The Montreal Canadiens continued their impressive start to the season with a 4-3 shootout win over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night. They started slow, but thanks to a strong showing from Jake Allen and the returning Kaiden Guhle the Habs were able to snag two full points. Justin Barron equalled a mark previously set by Andrei Markov and Nick Suzuki clinched the game with a fantastic shootout move, the hosts break down everything!
Then it’s time for Three Up, Three Down!
On the downside the Canadiens slow starts are killing them, even if they’ve been able to turn some of them into victories in the last week. With a tough run of games coming up, what can the team do to stop their early game issues? Also, the Laval Rocket’s defensive performances are leaving a lot to be desired in the early season and it’s having a tough impact on the young goaltending group. Is it too soon to start panicking? Also, Scott is mad at the officials again this week and especially at how they’ve allowed too many games to spiral out of control.
On the positive side of things, at the NHL level it looks like Jake Allen is doing everything he can to wrestle the starting spot away from Samuel Montembeault. If he keeps it up, does it change the plans Kent Hughes had for goaltending, or is Allen still going to be a likely trade target? Also featuring on the up list, the red-hot Cole Caufield, and the Laval Rocket’s go to man, Lias Andersson!

Officiating is bad,
Water is wet,
It's the NHL, lad.
We moved on yet?
I think overall goalies cost us 1 point and brought 2, maybe 3 points. All from Allen.
Montembault has been ok, Primeau played ok. They didn't cost any points, didn't bring any.
To go back to Allen, yes he played incredibly well but let's not forget that in the past 10 years every time he had to play more than 35ish games, he faltered. Let's not over use him. And let's use this season to see if Montembault can be a 1B goalie.
slaf had prob his worst game of the season, with several give aways, and you guys stay away from it cause you know he looked like shit
Habs are 3rd in the Atlantic…. Technically you could say they are tied for second in the Atlantic Division with the same record and P% as the leafs but the Habs do sit in the 3rd spot.
