Well, hello everyone and welcome to the Canadians Connection podcast right here on Rocket Sports Radio. Each and every week we keep you informed, engaged and entertained while we break everything down. The latest news and analysis about the Montreal Canadiens. Welcome. We are so glad that you are here. If this is your first time here, my name is Amy Johnson. I will be your host for today's show.
This is actually episode 379 of the Canadians Connection podcast, titled Defending as a Team, the Montreal Canadiens' Evolving Identity. And yeah, there's some interesting things that have taken place this week, some of them a little surprising, some of them maybe a little predictable, but...
There are kind of recurring themes around a lot of the decisions and moves that have been made this week that we're going to talk about here in just a bit. But to do that, first we have to bring in and welcome my wonderful co-host, who is our founder and president here at Rocket Sports, Mr. Rick Stevens.
And I guess in addition to asking how you are today, I will say to you and everyone else, Merry Christmas, because...
This is our Christmas show. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you. Merry Christmas to the Montreal Canadiens. And Merry Christmas to our rocket sports community out there who listen to this podcast every week. How did Christmas creep up so fast?
Oh my, don't even get me started.
I saw the photos from the Canadians, the players visiting the children's hospitals in Montreal, as they do every year, something that Jean Beliveau started. And I thought, my goodness, that means Christmas is around.
I need another month, please.
