We record on Saturday afternoon tonight against the Los Angeles Kings.

And that would go a long way to easing the fears, the tension that's increasing amongst the Montreal fan base.

Definitely.

And I mean, as you had reminded everyone last year, no one really expected the Canadians to make the playoffs at all, particularly with how they started the season.

And so everyone was just so pleased that they did make the postseason.

OK, that that was the win this year.

The expectations were much different this year with how they have performed up until now has raised those expectations even further.

And as expectations.

go up, the amount of patience that fans will have for bad coaching decisions, bad performances on the ice, no accountability for certain players, that the amount of leash that fans will allow is going to shrink.

And you're starting to see that happening already, just based off of those couple of comments that you made.

All right, so now let's just roll back to last week's Canadians Connection question of the week.

And I should say, if any of you have a comment about the Sam Montembeau situation, Marty's continued defense of him, please, by all means, send those comments in to us as well.

We will be happy to read your opinions on them as well.

But last week for our question of the week, we asked you what should be the top priority for Kent Hughes and the Canadians at the trade deadline this week.

And on YouTube at P Moran Fiedelt replied and said, if anything, it would be getting that sixth defenseman.

Sorry to say they didn't do that.

He goes on to say, other than that, I would just stay with the team we have and get ready for the playoffs.

Appreciate the comment.

And yes, I think getting that sixth defenseman, just strengthening that back end up a little bit would have been a great target.

There was obviously options to choose from.
