Zone outing, season 4 | Episode 2: Should We Panic Already?

It is well known, injuries are part of hockey, but in the case of the Canadian, injuries come a little quickly!

Posted yesterday at 4:30 p.m.

Thus, the Habs began their training camp in Brossard with five absentees, including captain Nick Suzuki and veteran defenseman Joel Edmundson. Is that enough to immediately have to press the big red panic button? This is one of the questions we ask ourselves with great enthusiasm in this second episode of the podcast season. Area exithosted by Jérémie Rainville of 98.5 FM, which receives journalists from The Press Richard Labbé and Guillaume Lefrancois.

Listen to the full episode

In attack, the first two lines of the Canadian already seem to be settled and Jonathan Drouin should have every opportunity to be able to become, perhaps, the player that the Canadian always hopes for. The situation is a little less obvious in net, where no number one goalkeeper seems to be. Hence the importance of fishing one very soon.

Meanwhile, other clubs in the Atlantic Division are picking up steam, including the Ottawa Senators, which some already see in the playoff race.

If Edmundson isn’t here, that means you have three rookies on your defense every game. You don’t want to find yourself in a situation like Cayden Primeau last year.

Guillaume Lefrancois

He’s going to start the year here, but I’m not sure he’s going to spend it all. I’m not saying that because he’s not good, I’m just saying that because it’s going to go fast, he’s going to think it’s going fast.
