This week in Canadiens talk
The shows spent the week on Jacob Fowler's impressive Heritage Classic performance and his potential as a breakout candidate. There was debate about whether Montreal missing the playoffs would be worse for hockey than Buffalo's situation, and talk of St. Louis's development philosophy and how the team has shifted away from a rebuilding mindset. Cole Caufield's claim that Montreal is Canada's favorite team also sparked discussion about the Canadiens' growing profile around the league.
