Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

Part of it is schtick, absolutely. Like with wrestling, you gotta do something to stand out, whether it's a babyface or a heek.

...but schtick only works to a certain point, the wrestler's got to be able to do something beyond just being a heel. He's gotta be able to wrestle. When he has to actually start asking real questions, his lack of talent becomes flagrantly obvious.
I have no issue with most of the questions he asks. It's the fact that he never gives his guests the time to fully answer the questions without interrupting them (usually so he can do his schtick) that I find grating. When you have a good guest who is articulate and has stuff to say, ask your question then shut the fuck up and the guest speak. But he's so wrapped up in his own persona that the podcast has to always be about himself.
 
The worry is cheap shots. He's now a coveted prospect. They even happen in the Swiss league. Likely get less in the NHL.
 
Forget cheap shots, I dunno if he’s ready for regular hits. Does he (Reinbacher) know how to protect himself on an NHL sized rink? This is also my concern about Slafkovsky.

Former Hab Bob Murdoch died earlier today.

Was Murdoch one of the first NHLers to get busted for weed back in the 70's? Or coke, maybe?
