Cam breaks down the Canadiens’ slow start — why he wasn’t a fan of the Larkin chant, his take on the Dobes vs Fowler overreaction, the special teams struggles and why Bolduc deserves a shot on PP1, why his expectations for this team haven’t changed, and a tip of the cap to Kaiden Guhle’s return. Plus fan questions on the goalie battle, early Atlantic division thoughts, Bolduc stepping up, and whether Slafkovsky and Matheson should be benched.

Down 5-1. Back to 5-5. Heartbreak in OT. The Canadiens are two games in and already giving us everything. Cam and Harley break down the wild start to the season — the uncharacteristic sloppiness, Suzuki and Caufield showing up big, Kreider on the top line and how long the leash is, the D pairings if Carrier can't go, and whether the short preseason is showing up in the early results. Plus they call out Habs fans overreacting to Kent Hughes and end with a Tip My Cap segment.
