Blues and my thoughts on Team Canada
Tonight you broke down the Canadiens’ 2–0 loss to the St. Louis Blues in St. Louis. Blues goalie Jordan Binnington earned a 25-save shutout, stifling Montreal’s attack and snapping the Habs’ 7-game point streak. Jonatan Berggren scored the game’s first goal, and Robert Thomas added a short-handed tally as Montreal struggled to convert opportunities despite possession and offensive zone time. Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki acknowledged the team’s lack of execution in key moments.
You also pivoted to Team Canada news, spotlighting Nick Suzuki being named to Canada’s 2026 Olympic hockey roster for Milano Cortina — marking his first Olympic team and a major honour for the Habs captain. Suzuki will join an elite 25-man Canada squad that includes stars like Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon, Bo Horvat, and Macklin Celebrini.

Welp guess bed time will have to wait!
This video is kind of a two-fer – I wanted to highlight the game but also talk about my thoughts on the Olympic Men's teams, at least touch on the subject.
Let me know what you think! Take care guys and girls.

Gallagher looked great. Had like 8 shots or something crazy.
It's the 2nd time we've been shutout this year. Remember the 1st one? I really hope the boys remember. It was that brutal 7-0 loss to Dallas
Blues looked super put together and played Hurricanes hockey better than the Hurricanes did the other day. But the fact last night was Caufield's birthday makes it all make a lot more sense.
I liked this 3rd line . Putting the two old guys together gave a spark. Also bottom six showing strength in the last two games .and we did get goalied ! But what do u think about the power play?
Whiskers, every bad bounce possible happened. Seemed like absolutey not one good bounce the whole game.
Didn't see what you saw. Habs should have won 4 to 2.
Isn’t Bedard injured? Canadians are a bit old…Cerelli? Stone? …agree Robo on Dallas is formidable.
I am just throwing it out there…Sebastion Aho. I have been thinking that kid IS worth thinking about.
Been watching him for 2 years and that kid has not learned to be okay with losing. Cap space should be there. He has to take a pay cut within reason. I don't want Kent to pull a Dubios or a NYR forever try and BUY a team.
We have 24 cups because it's chemistry. Aho is that guy, but he's not the Captain. He would fit with Slav, and certainly with Demi and Lane.
He or that kind if guy us what we need.
The Dallas game is in less than 24 hours. We have 4 HABS in the Olympics. Suzuki/Canada, Slafkovsky/Slovakia, Kapanen/Finland, Texier/France.
Habs looked overconfident. Demigod needs to figure out why he’s breaking so many sticks. Passing wasn’t crisp. Gallagher had a ton of shots, but he can’t score. Not a good game for the team.
Slaf, Demidov, Kapanen, Texier, and Hutson can't score on a 5 on 3?
No break at all tonight and that’s hockey folks 😅
I’ve been following since around 5k and just now you got an extra subscriber from my gf who is a die- hard habs fan from mtl🤙
Binnington was on fire and there was just nothing going in. They didn’t play a bad game.
Unfortunately I was at this game and it was my first nhl game what a bummer and a disappointment
best of luck to the boys against dallas, they need to make a STATEMENT.
Habs played with a "lack of urgency" and were doing many of the mistakes they have done the past couple seasons on offensive and defense. One of the reasons the Habs powerplay does poorty – failure to screen the goalie properly which is where Slaf should be. Whenever Slaf is not in the opposing goalie's face, the Habs powerplay tends to fall flat and usually too predictable and too many cute passes (and very little shooting).
I knew it! AHHHH! The Blues play the perfect game, Binnington turns into a wall… I really hope they turn it around for Dallas. I don't want to see another blow out. I'm of the opinion that I want Canada to win at the Olympics, but I'd prefer if Montreal players weren't there. NHL is more important to me.

Fowler once again, solid, solid performance.
Binnington was phenomenal.
I still like Fowler – he seems to be the Habs' most stable goalie.
Doby comes across as the shaky one, atm.
Not a bad game all in all, could have gone either way with a bit of puck luck.
Opposition did not have much in the 3d period.
Kinda hunkering behind the battlements in anticipation of tonight – a real test of mettle…
Poor effort and execution.
They clarified on the stream I was watching that Nick's blood was a result from a bruise that happened prior to the high stick, hence minor penalty.
Were the Habs on a back to back, no thats today. so next game please.
Was really looking forward to seeing the habs come out hard again like they did the last few games. The team tonight just seemed depleted.. injuries? Fatigue? Such a shame I think Fowler deserved a better team in front of him tonight. He played good enough to win.
I won't worry too much ablout this loss. Fowler has been good but Binnington played on his head. He stole this game for his team. These things happen, even the best offensive teams can be beaten by a hot goalie from time to time.
Binner played well, HABS could have played better, its the way it goes, onto Dallas
i think Bedard is missing because he is a kind of a dick
Martin decline defeat with Blues 😉
Considering the injuries to a number of players the team has stayed competitive with all the call ups.
PS Thanks for the videos and Happy New Year.🎉🥂
Never seen so many bad bounces and weird rebounds the puck was caught in a magnetic field or something last night. On to the next game.
Getting concerned about Struble. Doesn’t seem motivated
Bedard is hurt… is he not? That’s why he wasn’t selected?
Few players had that extra push so that translated into zero puck luck.
Montreal sa šetril s teraz vyhrá v Dalase
Playing on a national team for the Olympics is a big deal, especially if you are Canadian or American.
The Montreal Jekyll and Hydes continue their season as predicted.
7:25 So, Suzuki will represent Brookfield at the Olympics, good for him! ok I'm outta here..
Vasoline! Put vasoline on your daughter's face to go outside and it'll insulate her exposed skin.
Habs saving themselves for Dallas. Half hearted effort!
Ten games in seventeen days, seven of them travelling on the road. They are tired, it's as simple as that. It was a good road trip, and the worst part of their season is almost over. GHG!
very boring game! Fell asleep a couple times watching it. They have to come out better than that today!!!!
Kinda wondering about the team Canada lineup as well. For one, I wouldn't put Wilson in. Sure, he's scoring a lot right now, BUT… he's a liability with his actions. The guy cannot think. Takes dumb penalties and constantly is a cheap shot artist.
I drove 5 hours from Arkansas to watch the game. Pretty sad we didn’t get a goal, but honestly, they battled, especially Noah Dobson.
