00:00That's in the forecheck.
00:02Here's Matheson looking at the side of the net for Caulfield.
00:05That just missed.
00:06As the green light goes on, the buzzer sounds.
00:09Montreal have collected at least a point tonight.
00:16We are only a few days away from the trade deadline.
00:19If they win five games in a row, then it might alter the plan.
00:22To me, everything that they're going to decide between now and March 7th
00:25has to do with that culture.
00:27What does Jake Evans mean to their culture?
00:29What does David Savard mean to their culture?
00:31What does winning mean to their culture?
00:33It's been a funny season.
00:34It's been a very up and down.
00:36But we're not going to make an emotional decision here.
00:39We're almost 60 games in at the season.
00:42I think there's like a flurry of teams trying to figure out
00:45what the market's going to look like, and then the buyers sit back and wait.
00:49Then the moves will start to happen.
00:53That's definitely stressful.
00:54It gets to a point where every day you're waking up like,
00:56is today the day?
00:57You know, where are we going to be?
00:58When is it going to happen?
00:59When is it going to happen?
01:00And really, the not knowing, I think, is the worst part.
01:03I've never lived a stressful period.
01:04I've never lived a stressful period.
01:05I think you're going to get into negotiations.
01:06I think you're going to sign it.
01:07And finally, it doesn't work.
01:08Now, let's kind of see what they really have in their summer.
01:09At a moment when your season is kind of teetering a little bit, this game is a pretty important one.
01:43If we want to be serious in our strategy, it's a match that we can't achieve.
01:53Come on, boys.
01:54One, two, three, one, three, two...
02:04Montreal went the face-off.
02:06At Dvorak will change for Cole Caulfield.
02:08I'll hear you, dude.
02:09Back out, celebrating.
02:11Celebrating shot, that's blocked by Suzuki.
02:13Here's Caulfield.
02:15We always try to tell the players that they're going to tell us what we're going to do with the trade deadline.
02:20He'll turn back to the neutral zone.
02:24And the Canadians are going to change.
02:26Shark set, four players on the ice.
02:28Two men!
02:30If we're winning games and we're in the mix,
02:33then maybe we're not going to be as active trading people away
02:36if we have chances to be competitive down the stretch.
02:39And attention, voilà , Zeternoune avec un tir bloqué par Montembeau.
02:45Suzuki sent par de la rondelle.
02:47La remet à Caulfield.
02:48Concentrating on what's going to be out there, the market.
02:51Trying to figure out who's going to be here, going forward.
02:53Caulfield se déplace avec une femme.
02:57Et le B!
03:00That was picture perfect from Claude Caulfield.
03:04He's very awesome.
03:09I think back, it's hard to think of a team that had such a poor start that we did.
03:15You know, you're starting to think about the draft in November, right?
03:20Yeah?
03:21Oh my gosh.
03:23Oof.
03:23I think that Marty and the leaders on the team, I think we're able to rally the troops
03:29and get us here to this point.
03:32Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
03:35Let's go!
03:36What are you doing?
03:38Trent, I...
03:39The Montreal Canadiens.
03:43Hockey's most iconic franchise.
03:45Expect a war out there.
03:4624 Stanley Cups.
03:48And millions of fans waiting for their return to glory
03:51in this new season of The Rebuild.
03:55Here's Caulfield, your own team winner tonight.
04:074-3 in the final for Montreal.
04:08This was not easy.
04:10This was to get caught.
04:11But the Canadiens are going to win the third victory in so many matches
04:15after the break of the Four Nations Tournament.
04:18I don't think the group lacks any beliefs.
04:22And I think we've shown that.
04:24I think we've been pretty competitive.
04:29We compete.
04:31You know, yeah, we're not perfect.
04:33We're still a very young team, but I think the belief has always been there.
04:37The Four Nations Cup has given the players a chance to catch their breath.
04:46Now, refocused, the team's gaining momentum and even thinking playoffs.
04:55Trade deadline.
04:57A key date on the calendar.
04:59Will the team move assets?
05:00Or, this year, do they add pieces looking to make a push?
05:05The question has everyone wondering, even Martin St-Louis' dad.
05:13At this date, it's rare that you change guys for another guy.
05:16You know, it's not for fishing games, but what they're going to do to the club.
05:19You know, what's the choice of fishing games you're going to have?
05:22You know, it's not the first, fishing games.
05:24It's the two, three, four.
05:27It's good.
05:27It's good.
05:28You've got to say it.
05:29Yes, yes.
05:30That's right.
05:31Yes, yes.
05:31It's the top of the exchange.
05:34I control what I can, and coach this team.
05:39And I have my confidence in our managers, Kent and Courts, who are going to work for them.
05:44Do you think you like coaching even further than what you could imagine?
05:49Do you think I like coaching?
05:51Yes.
05:51I don't know.
05:53I don't know.
05:55Yes, yes, yes.
05:57He's in it.
05:59He's in it 100%.
06:01I'm a little surprised.
06:03Of course, I didn't see Martin coach.
06:07He was in his retraite.
06:09He coached at his young age,
06:11but I didn't think
06:13that one day he coached in the National League.
06:15Of course, it was a shocker.
06:19I also impressed with the press conferences.
06:23I find it really good.
06:25In French and English,
06:27so I think that...
06:29I would say that the press conferences
06:31are longer since he is there
06:33than before.
06:35Before, it was more expensive than that
06:37the press conferences of the Canadian.
06:39I want to be raccourced.
06:41I want to be informed.
06:43I want to be informed.
06:45I want to be informed.
06:47I want to be informed.
06:53Where's your eyes?
06:55Eyes on the puck, Jake.
07:03Two more.
07:05Face-offs.
07:07A critical head-to-head battle
07:09around 50 times a game.
07:11Winning gives you the puck
07:12and the advantage.
07:13The Habs rank 14th in the league
07:16at about 50%.
07:17It's okay.
07:18But the coaches push
07:20to make it even higher.
07:21The game is a big part of the game.
07:23The game is a big part of the game.
07:25All the coaches say,
07:27you have to win your battles one-to-one.
07:29The first battle in a match
07:31is the game.
07:33The game is a big part of the game.
07:43There we go.
07:44That's good.
07:45That's good.
07:46That's how I can help his percentage.
07:51Hey, Barry.
07:52How are we doing?
07:53What would you look for...
07:55Two years.
07:56Yeah.
07:57You know.
07:58I'm always open to ideas.
08:01I think, you know,
08:02if we're just looking internally,
08:03we're just gonna let, you know,
08:06see how things transpire here
08:07over the next few weeks
08:08in terms of the team
08:10and where we are
08:11as we get closer to the deadline.
08:12Because you're right there, right?
08:13Okay.
08:14That's...
08:15Depending on what happens here,
08:17as we progress,
08:18if you haven't moved them before,
08:20that is somebody
08:21that we could follow up on.
08:24Okay.
08:25Just give me a shout.
08:26If things change,
08:27I'm...
08:28Obviously, if I can move them,
08:29I'm gonna move them.
08:30Okay.
08:31You got it.
08:32Thanks, Barry.
08:33Bye.
08:34Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes
08:36explore their options.
08:38Cautiously,
08:39the team's pulled
08:40to within two points
08:41of a playoff spot.
08:42And the bosses know,
08:43chemistry is a big reason why.
08:45The guys in the room
08:47are learning to win
08:48on the ice together.
08:49I do believe inside that room,
08:51the players,
08:52they get sick of losing
08:54and they,
08:55they started getting,
08:56you know,
08:57having harder,
08:58harder meetings with each other
08:59about how we're gonna fix this.
09:00So,
09:01you wanna keep playing well,
09:02the team keeps playing well
09:03and we're in the mix
09:05and we look like we're,
09:06our team's gonna be able
09:08to stay stable
09:09and continue to win
09:10and push for that.
09:11Then,
09:12you know,
09:13we'll,
09:14we'll see if we can help them.
09:15But again, nothing,
09:16we're not gonna do anything
09:17that's gonna hurt our plan
09:18going forward.
09:19What's up?
09:20We make trades at the deadline
09:21and do rentals
09:22and your show's over.
09:24Yeah.
09:26My boss.
09:28Oh!
09:29Jeff Molson's gone.
09:30I'll call him back.
09:31I'll tell him that it's Crave.
09:32He'll know it's really important.
09:34This year,
09:36the goal of the Canadian
09:37is to take information
09:38on the group.
09:39It's to know
09:40where we can go
09:41with this group.
09:42We have answers.
09:43We have positive answers
09:44for some,
09:45more negative answers
09:46for others.
09:47And,
09:48who can I build?
09:49Because,
09:50from the next season,
09:51we hope to take another
09:52move.
09:53There will be players
09:54whose contracts will be finished.
09:55That's where we have to
09:56pick up and say,
09:57this guy,
09:58I want him in my team
09:59long-term.
10:00Otherwise,
10:01why not do a exchange
10:02to try to maximize his value?
10:03Ah,
10:05but the rumor mill
10:06keeps turning.
10:08I think
10:09that Jake Evans
10:10will be changed.
10:11I think
10:12that Joel Armia
10:13will be changed.
10:14It's really going to be a case
10:15of Ken Hughes
10:16sticking to his price.
10:18It's absolutely
10:20great
10:21that Canadians
10:22are ready to change
10:23like that.
10:24The four free agents
10:25will be changed.
10:26Armia,
10:27Evans,
10:28Devorak,
10:29bye-bye.
10:30And there's a real buzz
10:31around the team's
10:32third line center.
10:33His name keeps popping up
10:34in the media.
10:35He's got a lot
10:36to offer a new team
10:37and could be
10:38on the move soon.
10:39Do you know
10:40who's the forward
10:41who's playing the most minutes
10:42on the PK
10:43in the NHL?
10:44I could not even tell you.
10:46It's me?
10:47Nice.
10:48I like PK.
10:49That's cool.
10:51Jake has been
10:53the leader in that department,
10:55certainly among our forward
10:56killers,
10:57and it's filtered into
10:59the rest of his game.
11:00So he's had a heck of a
11:01season,
11:02and he's a great teammate,
11:03great member of the
11:04Montreal Canadiens for us.
11:05Evans,
11:062-4-3-6!
11:07Jake Evans
11:08understands his role,
11:09understands what
11:10he has to bring to
11:11this team,
11:12and doing it in a very,
11:13very, very effective way.
11:14If Jake Evans becomes
11:15available at the
11:16date limit of the transaction,
11:17there will be calls
11:18because we know
11:19what Jake Evans is able
11:20to bring.
11:21You're meeting the agent
11:22and Jake today?
11:23Yep.
11:24All right.
11:25We've got a compromise here
11:26to get to a term.
11:27Yeah.
11:28So we're looking at two scenarios
11:31with the use of deferral.
11:33I mean, in each case,
11:34in each of the four years,
11:35we're going to defer a million dollars.
11:37Does the agent have any appetite
11:38for the deferral?
11:39Well, he suggested
11:40that deferral may be a mechanism
11:41to bridge the gap.
11:42Right?
11:43And if we were to do this,
11:44we're getting a cap hit
11:45of right around where we want.
11:46Despite the trade talk,
11:48management love Evans.
11:49In fact,
11:50they're prepping to make him
11:51an offer this morning.
11:52But negotiations are very complicated,
11:55and it's not always just about the money.
11:57Jake, what does it mean to you
11:59to be a helper?
12:00It's been an honor.
12:01It's such a fun place to play,
12:03such a great place to live.
12:17It's a great place to live.
12:19It's been an honor.
12:20It's such a fun place to play,
12:21It's such a great place to live, and I've just really enjoyed it.
12:25It's truly an honour.
12:26It's so much tradition here, so many great players that have worn this jersey with pride.
12:32And in the case of Jake Evans, it's a bit bizarre when he talked to the Canadian past.
12:36Was that the last game Jake Evans played in a Montreal Canadiens uniform?
12:39It certainly sounds like it's going to be going in that direction.
12:46So if I'm Evans, I really love Montreal,
12:48yeah, I'm probably having some nights where I'm saying,
12:51OK, I want to sign a contract, and I want to sign it fast,
12:55but if it's not going to be here, it's going to be somewhere else.
13:01Le réveil du deuxième trio fait en sorte que là , maintenant, le Canadien gagne les matchs.
13:07Ça fait un bon moment pour New York, son jeu est meilleur.
13:09L'arme qu'il y a dans ses batailles, la façon qu'il utilise sa vitesse,
13:13pour bien distribuer la rondelle, pour se créer de l'espace, etc.
13:15I think maybe I was driving the play a bit more
13:17and kind of trusting my feet off the rush
13:19to hold on to the puck a bit more,
13:21and I think a lot of the chances kind of came from that.
13:24With the break behind him, Alex Newhook's game is rolling right now.
13:28He won a cup with Colorado in 2022,
13:31but he's hungry to win here.
13:33Hoisting Lord Stanley, again, is always on his mind.
13:37I didn't mean for this picture to be, like, out and, like, showing it off,
13:41but I should have turned it over.
13:46It was the first time the cup was in St. John's
13:49when I held up the cup there on the stage
13:51and everyone was kind of packed in there at the end of the parade.
13:54You know, having that feeling,
13:55it's definitely everything you dream of,
13:57so to have it and know how it feels makes you want it maybe even more,
14:01you know, to get back there and get that again.
14:05Let's do it.
14:09The break comes at a good time
14:10where you have, you know, 25 games left or whatever.
14:12You know it's going to be a push, especially for us coming back.
14:14Like, we know these games are so important coming up.
14:17All right, Jake's right here.
14:20Hey, guys.
14:22Ready to go? Ready to go?
14:23Yeah.
14:24Nice.
14:25How was the Bahamas?
14:26It was good. We lucked out with the weather.
14:27It was, like, 26 degrees. Yeah.
14:29I think it was the same day every day.
14:31We had a really nice, loungy time.
14:33Yeah, it's perfect.
14:35So we're heading to the casino in Montreal for a fundraiser.
14:39I'm not exactly sure what it's for.
14:41I think it's for Susie's Foundation, isn't it?
14:44No, it's not fun.
14:45Let's re-re-run it.
14:46Yeah, let's re-re-run it.
14:47Let's redo this. Can we? Yeah.
14:48Okay, so, Nui, it's the Casino Night Fundraiser
14:51benefiting Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation.
14:54Okay, all right.
14:56We're going to play some games.
14:57We're going to chat with people that are there,
14:59eat some food, and it should be a good time.
15:03That's really it, and, yeah.
15:05It's nice.
15:07You've done this before, Nui.
15:08Yeah, yeah.
15:11Okay, thanks for driving.
15:13Yeah, thanks, Jake.
15:15You're the man.
15:15You're the man.
15:18So you're the new Sambiai, now?
15:20Yeah, I've been waiting for it.
15:21How much longer do you want me to hold on?
15:25Hopefully they catch you with the soundbar on the red carpet.
15:36That'd be nice.
15:40What's up, everybody?
15:41I was carrying some audio.
15:44I'm actually working for Craig.
15:47Hi.
15:47How are you?
15:48The girls don't really get to, you know,
15:50get all dressed up and everything,
15:51and, you know, they have fun doing that,
15:53and, like, an event like this is, like, really high-end.
15:56Last year was a big success,
15:57and hopefully this one's a little bit bigger, too.
16:01First caviar.
16:02What did you do?
16:02This is a slurpial juice.
16:03It's good, yeah.
16:04Nui says it's good, so...
16:06Shall we see?
16:07You got it, man.
16:22It was our first year last year,
16:23and I had guys asking me if we were going to do it again,
16:26so, you know, that's a good sign.
16:28I see guys already having fun and, you know,
16:30dealing and playing.
16:34We got guys that like to gamble,
16:36so, you know, it's a good cause.
16:38The one said he's supposed to have good hands.
16:41Hey!
16:4322 car!
16:44There it is!
16:46We kind of ran out of gas there near the end before the break,
16:50so I think guys were excited to get back,
16:52get it back on the ice with each other.
16:53It was a nice break, but, you know,
16:56definitely feeling a little hungry to get back on the ice
16:58and then playing games.
16:59The Canadians are just one point out of a play-off spot,
17:07out of a wild-card spot.
17:08It's unbelievable.
17:09The Canadians have 21 games left.
17:12Their next game,
17:14the Canadians are going to be in Edmonton on Thursday night,
17:17the night before the NHL trade deadline.
17:20It's obviously not going to be easy.
17:21You know, we want to put pressure on the management
17:24so that we don't have an exchange,
17:26because we believe in our group.
17:28The best solution for that is to win the match.
17:30And that's what we're doing,
17:32so we've got it before the limit of the transactions,
17:35so we know that it's an important match.
17:45Is that somebody's coffee?
17:47Somebody's coffee here?
17:48What are we going to say about...
17:51They called and said,
17:54and a first for...
17:56And I said, nah.
17:58He said, listen,
17:59it's a summertime trade for us,
18:01unless you fucking blow my socks off.
18:04And he goes, well,
18:05why don't you blow your socks off
18:07and tell me what that looks like?
18:12It's less than 24 hours to trade deadline.
18:15Teams are pressing hard to upgrade.
18:18And the Habs are in the thick of it.
18:23I like both of them.
18:26He's a skater.
18:27He's a skater.
18:28Much better.
18:30Left or right shot?
18:31Right shot.
18:32I think that's a question a lot of fans were having.
18:33With the recent winnings,
18:34would that adjust management's approach to today?
18:38Very offensive.
18:40Really good skill.
18:41Not much compete level,
18:44from what I see.
18:45Not very involved.
18:46I don't feel like he likes
18:48or even wants to defend that much.
18:51I think the centering positions right now
18:54are kind of all over the place.
18:55So if that is a need here for the Canadians,
18:58maybe there's phone calls.
18:59I'm not sure.
19:01Price is cool.
19:01The market may not be quite the same next year at this time.
19:06He's not trading to us.
19:08I doubt it, but it's always fun to ask.
19:11We're in Edmonton.
19:25There is a game underway.
19:27So the equipment staff have got to wait
19:28until the visitors' room is cleared out
19:31before they can set it up.
19:32It all happens so fast.
19:34We arrived with the truck this afternoon.
19:37We parked the truck.
19:39The truck is quite full already.
19:41Yes.
19:42A mini show rock.
19:46With the roadies.
19:47That's us.
19:53This situation that we do this evening,
19:55it's not...
19:57We usually arrive the day before the match,
19:59the afternoon, there's nothing to happen.
20:01The problem, it's that we have some things
20:04that are wet from the practice of today.
20:06So it's really tight and tight.
20:10The road is still pretty long.
20:12So it's always the same players
20:15to sit on the side of the other.
20:16Like Martin, he likes to have his captain
20:19in the middle of the room.
20:20But on the other hand,
20:21the defenders are always on the side,
20:23following the front.
20:26The guardians are on the side of the other
20:28or face to face.
20:28But apart that, I'll try to mix it a little bit.
20:36You know, the fact that it's the date
20:37limit of the change,
20:38it changes something?
20:39It changes a little bit the preparation.
20:42We have a little more equipment in case of where.
20:45I have a chandail that doesn't have a number
20:47in case of where we need to make one.
20:51We have a number, letters, name bar,
20:54or whatever you want to do
20:55to make a chandail
20:56of maybe a new genre that will arrive potentially.
21:00Yeah, you're good to go, man.
21:02Back in Broussard,
21:14Caden Gooley struggles with a bad injury
21:17and the feelings of what he misses most.
21:21I think just helping the guys,
21:25just being on the ice with the guys,
21:26it sucks.
21:28It's just a fluke injury.
21:36You know, I've fallen before in my life,
21:39but not really like that.
21:41And just the way that my legs
21:42kind of came together and hit the boards.
21:45The defenseman Caden Gooley
21:46sustained a lacerated quadricep muscle,
21:49which was surgically repaired.
21:51He was released from the hospital today
21:53and will be out indefinitely.
21:57I felt like I was playing
21:59some of my best hockey in my career
22:01and it sucks,
22:04but, you know,
22:05learned to deal with it.
22:10It's going by really good,
22:11a lot better than I expected.
22:12And the guys here are grinding me
22:15and kicking my ass.
22:17So they're doing a good job.
22:18So I was sweating on the table
22:20for about two hours today.
22:21So it was good.
22:23They're doing a good job.
22:25I guess it's going to be hard
22:26to hold Alberta beef away from the game.
22:29Yeah, no, you can't.
22:30You can't.
22:31I live here.
22:32Should have a bed here.
22:35Just as Caden gets off the practice ice,
22:38Kent Hughes is waiting for him,
22:40looking to pick his brain
22:41about another player.
22:41It's a fact-fighting mission
22:43as the team eyes ways to improve.
22:47Goulds, talk to me about...
22:49I like his game.
22:52He could, like, he's good both...
22:54He doesn't tire, right?
22:55No, he's fucking...
22:56He's a horse.
22:57He doesn't work out much?
22:58Oh, he doesn't work out much?
22:59I'm asking.
23:00I think he does.
23:01Yeah?
23:01I think so.
23:03I mean, he's strong.
23:05He's really strong.
23:06He was always good offensively.
23:08He's smart.
23:09He made good plays.
23:10It's almost a point of game.
23:12Yeah.
23:13Like, he's good offensively.
23:15Strong?
23:15Strong, yeah.
23:16Like, what kind of strong?
23:17Like, what is he?
23:18Like, 5'11"?
23:195'11"?
23:20Like, he's probably, like, 185, 190.
23:21I'm pretty comfortable in our assessment of our own players, because every team is ideal
23:31for one particular player and less than ideal for another, in terms of usage.
23:36Okay.
23:37See what I can do?
23:38All right.
23:38Thanks.
23:39Yeah.
23:39So, the more information that you have, the better off you are in terms of making decisions,
23:46because otherwise, we all just make decisions with the same information as the other 31 teams.
23:52What are you doing?
23:54Good.
23:55You guys back in the Rantan race here?
23:56I hear, uh, you're not in it?
23:58They're on a four-game Western road trip.
24:08They say these are trips that make you or break you.
24:13You unify as a team, and you go on to do amazing things the rest of the way, or it just breaks you.
24:28There's somebody.
24:31Like, I work security.
24:33Happens sometimes.
24:35Happens sometimes we get...
24:36Okay.
24:51Time is ticking down.
24:533 p.m. Eastern time tomorrow.
24:55That is the trade deadline.
24:56We'll see if General Manager Kent Hughes has any more tricks up his sleeves, but he's got to be happy as he locked up a big piece.
25:03The Canadians have to be really happy with this contract with Jake Evans.
25:06It's a four-year extension.
25:08$2.85 million cap hit for those four years.
25:12Well, you are now a friend of the show.
25:14Friend of the show.
25:15I worked for the show on Casino Night, too.
25:17Exactly.
25:18Driver and carrying it in.
25:20Am I doing this?
25:21Yeah.
25:24It honestly happened pretty quick.
25:26The last couple of days.
25:27And my wife and I were just like, let's do it.
25:30And we're done with all this stress.
25:32And we can unpack what we just packed.
25:34So, it was good.
25:37Just a lot of relief, honestly.
25:39It's about stability from my wife and I.
25:42It's about being happy.
25:44Obviously together, but in a place that we like.
25:46And with people that we like.
25:48So, I don't care that people don't want to say that I left money on the table.
25:54Because I won't even know.
25:55Because nothing ever came about.
25:56You know, I could get hurt one day and I could all be gone or I could go to a team and they
26:07might not like me and things could have ended poorly and I would lose a ton of value, too.
26:12So, I'm not going to have any regrets and I'm totally happy with my decision.
26:17Did you call your dad?
26:19I called him yesterday morning because it was basically done already.
26:23So, my dad and my mom, they both obviously were so excited for me.
26:30It was my brother's birthday yesterday, so I kind of ruined his birthday.
26:33But I took the fame from him.
26:35But I'll make it up to him.
26:37So, the Canadian is at the top of the series, at one point, at one point, at one point in
26:48the series.
26:49And then, the Canadian decided to compromise with Jake Evans.
26:53He already sends the message to all players to say, we're close to what we're looking for,
26:58that's to be still in the course, to play a significant match in March, maybe even in
27:02March.
27:06Jake earned it, for sure.
27:07He's played unbelievable this season.
27:09You know, Kent and, of course, you know, they've got to do their thing, and I think Jake
27:16made it pretty tough on them to let him go.
27:18It's true, it's great for us.
27:20Jake plays a great role.
27:21And it's not always easy decisions for the player or for Kent.
27:26I think Kent has shown us that the guys work, we're there, and I think it's a boost for
27:35us, that's true.
27:36I think it's good, but then...
27:37In the end, there's also a practice arena in the Hallers, and it's really far away,
27:43and it's a good little race.
27:45So, once the game is finished, Frank had a chair with a chair, and I asked him if I
27:51had to embark.
27:52So, I said, ah, it's not too long.
27:53So, I went to the room, and I gave him five stars for the lift, Uber.
27:58The Montreal Canadiens back out on the road.
28:05They start a four-game Western Conference road swing tonight in Alberta.
28:10Welcome to Edmonton as the Montreal Canadiens wrap up the season series against the Edmonton
28:15Oils.
28:16The Bulls game has fired.
28:17Pull on you, come on!
28:22This trip's always a tough one.
28:24Everyone needs to chip in.
28:25Everyone needs to bring everything they got.
28:28And I think if we do that, we're giving ourselves a good chance.
28:32Now, with Jake Evans off the market, what next for Montreal?
28:35Well, I think a lot of people are starting to clamor for the Canadians to get some help
28:39for this team to make this final push into the playoffs.
28:42I think we might be watching the Canadians' rentals playing right now.
28:45Their names are Yoel Armia, Christian Dvorak, and David Savard.
28:49The Canadians are getting calls on each of those guys.
28:51When you play together, as long as these guys have, and you build your way up through the rebuild,
28:58you become really attached to those guys around you.
29:00And I think that's why this team has been more successful this year.
29:04They continue to mature because the guys are playing for one another.
29:07And when you start trading away those guys, it messes with the chemistry.
29:12And it's a difficult thing.
29:14It's not tangible, right?
29:15You can't feel it.
29:16You can't see it.
29:17It's just something that exists.
29:21You've got to be sharp on the draw, boys.
29:24We're far from game.
29:26They fucking thrive going away from the bench on transition if we're changing.
29:32Okay? They thrive.
29:33So we have to fucking change surgically.
29:35Marty St. Louis, he has not stopped with the way that he wants to set up his team structurally.
29:40And the team has bought in.
29:42If they kick it out, we're going to go play five on five now.
29:45They're believing in everything that they do and everything that they move on the ice,
29:48and they're working as unit.
29:50We're going to fucking man up.
29:51The closest guy to McDavid, you fucking stay with him.
29:54The closest guy to Dreisaitl, you stay with him.
29:56Okay?
29:57And lastly, it's discipline.
29:58Not just discipline staying out of the box yet.
30:00It's a huge part of the game.
30:01But it's discipline on how we play.
30:03It's discipline right off the fucking face-off.
30:05If you're not sure, ask questions.
30:07Okay?
30:08Because it's going to be too late.
30:09All right? Let's go.
30:10Let's go.
30:11Let's go.
30:12Let's go.
30:13Let's go.
30:14Let's go.
30:15Let's go.
30:16Let's go.
30:17Let's go.
30:18Let's go.
30:19Let's go.
30:20Come on, White.
30:21Come on, White.
30:22Being in the position we are in right now and seeing the identity that the group is playing
30:26with.
30:27It's very encouraging and they're all tough games.
30:30But now that we go into each and every game knowing that we can win.
30:34In the draw.
30:35In the game, boys.
30:46Hey!
30:47Hey!
30:48Here they come.
30:49Max Jones with a shot.
30:50And a nice save made.
30:52Sam Latabo.
30:53Let's go.
30:55Here goes Perry.
30:56Scores!
30:57Here goes Perry.
30:58Scores!
31:01I think it's got to be careful how we start the match.
31:05It's not at the end of the season to be able to come back from the top.
31:08Especially at the end of the season when you play teams.
31:11Everyone needs points right now.
31:14They're swarming so hard right now.
31:16We've gotten in a bunch and then we can't get anything out.
31:20It's not quite the start Marty St. Louis had in mind.
31:23Flip that.
31:24Flip that.
31:25Flip that.
31:26There's going to be another penalty here on Montreal with 43 seconds left in the room.
31:31That's penalty number two.
31:32Proving there's a fine line between sticking with your man and getting called.
31:36And when that challenge arises Jake Evans is the man for the job.
31:45I wasn't even penalty killer juniors.
31:47And then when I went to college I was kind of the low man on the totem pole and in the rankings.
31:51And you have to find a way I've learned quick is to get on the ice.
31:56And you know if a team wants you to try to penalty kill you've got to take that and run with it.
32:00A little give and go between the two of them from here.
32:02Yeah I'm going to be tight low.
32:03No you stay high on Bouchard.
32:04Okay.
32:05Once you get to the NHL it's obviously another skill jump.
32:09And you're probably not playing power play in my you know where I'm at.
32:13And again you want to be out there you want to prove your value.
32:16So that's something I've taken a lot of pride in and try to be really good at.
32:20As Jake Evans goes to work winning the face off.
32:28Now over to McDavid.
32:29His shot is blocked by David Savard.
32:32And Jake Evans couldn't clear it.
32:35If you want to know why David Savard is a coveted player down the trade deadline.
32:40Just watch that penalty kill.
32:42The penalty's killed and Habs look to build on that momentum.
32:46Come on Paul baby.
32:47Come on.
32:48Big kill for the Montreal Canadiens.
32:55And Cole Caulfield storms right back the other way and ties the game at one.
33:03I think we have our chances.
33:05So far the game is doing really well.
33:07You know the team is gelling together.
33:09They're playing the right way.
33:11I think we can do it.
33:12Good job.
33:13Great change, boy.

33:56Donné.
33:58But are you pretty happy?
33:59It's been three years since they've won here.
34:04Ozone face out for Montreal.
34:06They win.
34:06Here's Hudson with control.
34:08Oh, fill the round into the slot.
34:10Oh, that's a touch winner.
34:13Coilers back the other way.
34:16McDeven in the slot.
34:17Pass is over.
34:18Shot, they score!
34:26Close call tonight for Montreal, but in the end, they fall short.
34:29To Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers, 3-2 the final tonight.
34:33As we say farewell from Edmonton.
34:37It's a cliche to say that every match is increasingly important.
34:41But when you look at all the other teams
34:43who have a battle for the playoffs in the finals,
34:47they win too, so we don't have time to lose.
34:53I don't think it was one of those ones where it's kind of
34:56take it back and see if something's there, take it back again.
35:00So it makes for exciting hockey.
35:02I feel like we had a lot of chances to win it ourselves.
35:06And it's frustrating to not come out with a win.
35:09You know, now we're at a point where we're one point out
35:13and playing some meaningful games.
35:14And that's, you know, the last few years,
35:16we didn't have that opportunity.
35:18So it's been, I think guys are valuing that a lot more.
35:22We have still, I think, 20 games left.
35:23So there's still a lot of hockey to play.
35:25And, you know, we've shown in the past couple of games
35:27that if we play our brand, our type of hockey,
35:29and everybody plays and compete for 60,
35:31we kind of play with every team.
35:32Thanks for your time.
35:33They're in that mix.
35:37And so it's March.
35:38They want to play meaningful games in March.
35:40They're playing meaningful games in March.
35:42Everything they hope to do this season, they are doing.
35:47Does that change meaningfully the way
35:49Ken Hughes and Jeff Gordon will look at the market
35:51between now and Friday?
35:52At the tone, please record your message.
36:03While you finish recording, you may hang up
36:05or press pound for more options.
36:09Peter?
36:10Kent Hughes calling 9.30 on Friday.
36:14If you could, please give me a call when you get a moment.
36:18We all in agreement.
36:20Like, we're not...
36:20It doesn't make any sense for us to be giving up
36:22a second-round pick.
36:23At this time, when they're at one point,
36:26you know, in that market,
36:28they're holding on to hope.
36:29I don't know.
36:30I mean, Gould's heard, like, it's hard.
36:32Like, who's going to play all those minutes, right?
36:43I'm with Kriv.
36:44You got...
36:45Yeah.
36:47What's up, dude?
36:50As of this season, Boston and Toronto both made the playoffs
36:53eight consecutive years.
36:54These look pretty good.
36:56No way!
36:58That's great.
36:59Oh, my God.
37:01I thought it was just fun to follow the whole thing.
37:06Just exciting to see what all the teams are doing
37:09at the...
37:11this morning, especially.
37:13Anyone can get traded at any time,
37:14but, I mean, if you get traded,
37:16out of the blue, there's nothing,
37:18you're not really thinking about it or anything, you know?
37:20You get a call, and you're trading.
37:22Dude, they're hammering you on the cards.
37:24Yeah, I mean...
37:25Yeah, I've been trading twice.
37:27I mean, he wasn't getting traded.
37:29So, uh...
37:30It's more focused on some players, for sure.
37:33I mean, obviously, there was the names
37:35around the locker room.
37:36You know, it's the trade rumors and everything.
37:38Like, you're only human.
37:39You can hear them and, you know, experience them.
37:42So, I think that's definitely where, like,
37:43the pressure lies is on those guys.
37:46It's not much you can do,
37:47other than else,
37:48to just play hockey, I guess.
37:54You know, there are people who think
37:54that Savard's going to be changed.
37:56I mean, changing Savard's going to be a little regret,
38:00but you have to have a good deal,
38:02because, you know, you're going to look for David.
38:04We, David, you're a good player.
38:06You never know what's going to happen.
38:08It's decisions that are out of your control
38:10as a player.
38:12I told them that if it was possible to stay here,
38:14that's what I wanted.
38:15I wanted to finish the year here with the guys,
38:18and try to get into the series
38:19and experiment it a little bit in Montreal.
38:23You never know.
38:24And you're waiting a little.
38:25You have your phone close to you,
38:27in case something happens.
38:29David Savard, a stay-at-home defender,
38:31right shot, that's on the top of everyone's lift,
38:34who's making a run for the cup, right?
38:36What's that saying?
38:37Defense wins championships.
38:38So, you have to think these cup-contending teams
38:40are likely calling about him,
38:41because he fits that bill,
38:43a depth defender, like a long minute block shot,
38:45play a hard and heavy game,
38:47and he's got that right shot.
38:48So, I think when you look at David Savard,
38:49he'll always be that diamond, I think, for teams.
38:52I already talked to Savi.
38:53He knows the routine.
38:54I mean, we could trade him today.
38:55Martin Saint-Louis décide de programmer
39:03une séance d'entraînement au Saddle Dome,
39:07alors que les joueurs sont accaparés
39:09par les rumeurs de transaction
39:10et les possibilités que l'un ou l'autre
39:12se fasse échanger.
39:13L'idée de Martin Saint-Louis, c'est de dire,
39:17on va vivre ce moment-là en équipe.
39:20Au lieu que tout le monde angoisse
39:22chacun de son côté,
39:24réunissons-nous, allons sur la glace,
39:27et puis le temps va passer de cette manière-là .
39:29À mesure qu'on voit des joueurs sauter sur la glace,
39:57on comprend qu'ils n'ont pas été échangés.
40:00Puis à partir du moment où le compte est bon,
40:02qu'on dénombre tout le monde,
40:03on dit « Ah tiens, il n'y a pas eu d'échange. »
40:06Je suis sûr que Martin aussi a parlé à Ken et Jeff,
40:09et il n'a pas nécessairement l'intention
40:11de faire quelque chose dans les dernières minutes.
40:13Donc je voudrais juste rassembler pour dire
40:14qu'il y a certains gars qui allaient rester,
40:16qu'on entendait nos noms se promener un peu
40:18à travers les rumeurs, des choses comme ça.
40:20Mais je pense qu'on était tous contents
40:22de pouvoir rester à Montréal.
40:27Aujourd'hui, dans un sens,
40:31on a «rewarded » pour leur affaire.
40:34On a eu l'objectif de être dans le mix
40:37au début de cette saison.
40:38Je pense qu'on a eu l'objectif.
40:42La plupart des fans connaissent
40:43que le rébuilder n'est pas quelque chose
40:44qui va se passer en nuit.
40:47On est heureux où on est,
40:49mais on ne s'est pas satisfait.
40:52Je trouve ça intéressant de voir
40:53comment Ken Hughes a écouté ses joueurs,
40:56a écouté le message de ses joueurs.
40:57Puis finalement, est-ce que ce sera gage de succès?
41:00L'avenir nous le dira.
41:01Mais ça montre quand même un virage
41:03dans la façon d'opérer de Ken Hughes.
41:08Ces joueurs qui ne veulent pas être traduits,
41:10on va voir qu'ils s'arrêter maintenant.
41:11On va voir qu'ils s'arrêter leur appréciation
41:13pour qu'ils continuent à être
41:14des Canadiens de Montréal jusqu'à la fin de la saison
41:16et à la fin de la saison.
41:16Et à la fin de la fin de la saison,
41:17on va avoir un grand jeu
41:17d'entre eux,
41:18en fin de la saison de Calgary.
41:19The Flames have things in common
41:34with the Canadians.
41:36They're both fighting for a playoff spot
41:37and the Flames also have
41:40a rookie of the year candidate
41:41on their roster.
41:43But the Canadians have their own candidate.
41:46And never mind just on the ice,
41:47he's making his presence felt
41:49in the locker room.
41:51Came to me yesterday
41:52and asked me,
41:54does that mean I lose the ring?
41:56I said, what, you want it?
41:58He said, yeah.
41:59I fucking love it!
42:07Same fucking desperation,
42:09let's fucking play hungry.
42:10We got fucking D-Long!
42:14I just knew this guy
42:15was gonna be special.
42:17How dynamic he is
42:19and how much he loves the game.
42:22He's got such great passion
42:23for the game.
42:24And a lot of swagger about him.
42:28Obviously, he's a very special player
42:29and he still surprises us every day.
42:33Les séries commencent maintenant.
42:34Les Canadiens jouent très, très bon au hockey.
42:37Ça ne veut pas dire
42:37qu'ils vont se tailler une place en séries.
42:39Plus ça va aller, Martin,
42:40plus ça va être difficile.
42:41Surtout dans les confrontations.
42:42C'est parti, bon match!
42:49C'est parti, bon match!
42:52C'est parti, c'est parti, c'est parti!
42:54Look, the Habs are getting their chances,
43:11but every time,
43:13they're being stonewalled
43:14by the Flames goalie.
43:15C'est parti, c'est parti!
43:16C'est parti, c'est parti, c'est parti!
43:17Oh, et bien, c'est parti!
43:21Fuck me, no way we don't score.
43:24Let's get one.
43:26It's one of those games
43:27that's going to be a tight-knit game,
43:30two teams fighting
43:31to get into that wild card too.
43:34And obviously,
43:36he had our number that night.
43:37You play your first game
43:48coming out of the trade deadline.
43:50You want to see if the guys
43:51are on a high.
43:51You want to see if they're going to respond.
43:53They not only lose,
43:54they don't score a goal.
43:56We're trying to focus on the process,
44:02not the results.
44:04What this season's about
44:11is what this group
44:13needs to prove
44:14to this organization.
44:16These players have to prove
44:17to Kent Hughes.
44:18These players have to prove
44:19to Jeff Gorton
44:20that they're the group
44:21that can get it done.
44:22And they have
44:23the final stretch to do it.
44:25The travel,
44:26the miles,
44:28the injuries,
44:29they were almost
44:29unempty.
44:30Whoever bet against me
44:31is going to lose
44:32all their money.
44:34Never bet against me.
44:55I find it interesting
44:56to see how Kent Hughes
44:57is going to be able
44:58to do it.
