Episode 98 of the Hockey Free For All Podcast 04-07-2024

Hello Hockey fan’s here’s Episode 98 of the Hockey Free For All Podcast topics include-

#1. The return of Montreal Canadiens forward Christian Dvorak. Welcome back, but hopefully he is traded is the upcoming offseason.

#2. I hope Nick Suzuki and Mike Matheson do not partake in the Upcoming world championships. As for Samual Montembeau and Alex Newhook, it’s a great tournament for them to be a part of, and it makes since for them and where they are at in their careers.

#3. As for the United States Team at the World Championship’s Cole Caufield and Cayden Primeau should absolutely play for the United States at the World Championship’s this year, both of their games would benefit from it, tremendously.

#4. Juraj Slafkovsky should absolutely play for Slovakian team at the 2024 World Championships. It will be a fantastic conclusion to an excellent season of growth. I hope that Filip Mesar plays for Slovakia team as well.

#5. As for Joel Armia playing for Finland at the 2024 World Championships, he always seems to have a great a tournament every year he plays in it. So, here’s to Joel Armia plays for Finland and has a fantastic tournament.

#6. Martin St. Louis responded perfectly when he asked what he thought about Montreal Canadiens players being named to and playing at the 2024 World Championships. St. Louis cut off the discussion, and responded that there are still 10 regular games to play and it would be inappropriate to discuss the 2024 World Championship’s at this point and time. Once again, Martin St. Louis showed he has his priorities in the proper order of importance.

#7. The Art Ross and Heart Trophies contest is a 3-man race.

#8. Acquiring Trevor Zegras from the Anaheim Ducks, Martin Necas from the Carolina Hurricanes or Kent Johnson from the Columbus Blue Jackets, would be an exact replica of the acquisitions of Johnathan Drouin, Josh Anderson or Christian Dvorak, how have those acquisitions turned out for the Montreal Canadiens and their fans?

More bad contracts, more players that take nights off, and that have not lived up to their skills, abilities or expectations. Montreal has their starting for centers in Nick Suzuki, Kirby Dach, Owen Beck and Jared Davidson. Maybe everyone thinks that the Montreal Canadiens need more centers and players like Jesperi Kotkaniemi or Alex Galchenyuk, because they turned out so well, and had great careers while in Montreal? How does trading away young talented players from its NHL roster, tremendous prospects already within your organization, or the throwing away of valuable draft capital make any since here?

#9. John Tortorella is doing it right, too bad he’s direct and to the point. Pay attention, do your job, or you will not be here!

#10. Montreal Misses the playoff for the 3rd year in a row.
