Yes, they're young, but it's not unprecedented to have two young goaltenders who are delivering, both are delivering, as your tandem for next fall.

They need to clear up the San Montembeau problem by the start of training camp.

They do.

Maybe we should have said Jacob-Yacob tandem.

For sure.

This one comes from YouTube, our YouTube channel.

And it's from at P Moran Fidelt.

He says, great show to answer the question.

My confidence hasn't changed one way or the other about the Habs making the playoffs.

I still believe they'll make it because they didn't make any changes on defense.

if they continue to give Monty more starts on goal, we will not make it past the first round.

So he was already, his mindset was already about goaltending.

Definitely.

also very interesting and and you know he says no you know the the window meaning the window to be a perennial contender it's not open yet it's not they're not quite there yet so we all wonder who can't use well yeah um that that trade that that didn't go through um who was it who was it will we find out i hope we do

And are there any of our listeners out there who've been around for a while, who've been following the Canadians for a while, who see any parallels, like I do, between this situation with the goaltenders and back in 2008, before the trade deadline, when Bob Ganey traded Christabel Hue, fan favorite, media favorite, Christabel Hue.

to Washington in order to clear the way because Guy Carboneau would not play his young goaltenders.

And so Bob Ganey, the GM, said, okay, I'm going to take away your favorite toy and traded Cristobal to make way for Carey Price and Yaroslav Halak.

And then there was the goaltending...

A battle, competitive battle that followed after that.

Do you see any parallels with 2008?
