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.

We sat down with Montreal Canadiens 2026 third-round pick Cooper Cleaves for an exclusive interview on The Locker Box Podcast. A Dartmouth College sophomore defenseman with a bright future. We talked about:

• His draft experience and what it meant to hear his name called by Montreal.

• Development camp. What the experience was like and what he took from it.

• His college career at Dartmouth College.

• His early hockey days and who influenced him along the way.

• What being a Montreal Canadiens prospect means to him.

The Canadiens season is over but there's a lot to unpack. Cam and Harley reflect on what was a historic playoff run, react to Brendan Gallagher's emotional exit interview, break down Cole Caufield's accountability comments and Kent Hughes' post season presser. Then to cap it off they sit down with professional goalie Yaniv Perets — currently playing and a former member of the Carolina Hurricanes organization — for an exclusive interview.
