The Canadiens have allowed four goals or more nine times since November 4th. How concerning is the Habs’ goaltending? And it’s the first time since October that the Senators have lost three straight games, all three at home. TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button joins SC with Jay Onrait with special guest host Glenn Schiller to discuss.

They need defence or he will be the same as the other two quickly.
Not a panic move, it's a denial move. The Habs defensive play is dreadful.
habs sucking this year isnt a big deal. they could use a good player in the draft. keeping the cupboard full of prospects is always a benefit. goaltending is voodoo every year. they can easily let monty go in the offseason and sign a vet. not a big deal. too early for fowler…but i believe in him.
The Habs clearly burnt Dobes and now it is Fowler’s turn! Yeah! Whatever we do do not change anything with the defence, it’s all good! The other thing is we need to play Gallagher as much as possible! I am not sure what he is doing on the PP wave 2, he clearly belongs on wave 1! If you watch gally closely you will soon realize that he never, ever, loses the puck to the opponents; it’s a special gift and we need to capitalize on that!
Far too many "can I get a save moments" have been answered "no".
Stabilize the defence
Yes, Its a panic move.
hopefully fowler is ready or he might become another primeau……
it had to be done, call it panic or whatever Goalies are brutal and defensive coverage is just as bad, Struble, Gallagher and Veleno need to sit, Beck and Davidson need to be in the line up. They miss Guhle big time can't play man to man in the D zone when Xhekaj and Struble are average at best skaters
Yes. They should have traded Matheson not sign him to a 5 year deal. He stinks😮
ITS A PANIC MOVE
Was Ken Dryden ready in 1971, f**king exactly! thank you.
its not a panic move its a fkn wake up call for the team
Focusing on the goalies is ignoring the real problems. Our defense is untutored and soft. We need more sand and better coaching. Brining Fowler up will only make him loose confidence as the net begins to fill with pucks. Poor coaching is the real problem and it's not going away until a coaching change happens!
The goaltending is bad.Period.But the Habs lose too many puck battles in their end,and their defensive coverage is weak.The other team always seems to have somebody open.Bad combination.
Bring back Carey Price
It would help if the defence didn't keep hanging the goalies out to dry…it's one breakdown after another with those guys.
It's not a panic move. It's a good move
They aren’t that good
This is what happens to average to poor teams
It all stinks. Montembeault is a bum.
For anyone thinking playing rookie Jacob Fowler between the pipes is unusual have probably lost sight of the fact Dobes is also a rookie.
Sports are out of politics!!! The team that will become the Olympic champion in hockey in 2026 will not be considered a real champion, especially since NHL players will participate in this championship! Why? Because the team that became the champion of these Olympic Games is only capable of sucking a big bitter lollipop from the Russian national team! Why? Because even during the Cold War, the Russian national team played against Canada and the United States, both in the USSR in Moscow and in North America. Why won't the winning team be considered a true champion in 2026? Because Alexander Ovechkin is the best of the best, Evgeny Malkin is the best, Sergey Bobrovsky is the best, Andrey Vasilevsky is the best, Nikita Kucherov is the best, Kirill Kaprizov is the best and the most expensive, Mikhail Sergachev is the best, Artem Zub is the best, Kirill Marchenko is the best, Matvey Myachkov is the best, Arseniy Gritsuk is the best, Vasily Podkolzin is the best, Valery Nichushkin is the best, Nikita Zadorov is the best, Ilya Sorokin is the best, Artemy Panarin is the best, Vladimir Tarasenko is the best, Pavel Buchnevich is the best, Alexey Toropchenko is the best, Andrey Svechnikov is the best, Dmitry Voronkov is the best, Ivan Barbashev is the best, Igor Shesterkin is the best, Pavel Dorofeev is the best, Ivan Demidov is the best, and many other Russian hockey players, they all play in the NHL. And when the time comes and the player of the winning team says: I am the Olympic champion in hockey in 2026 and shows the gold medal, everyone will know that he has a big, bitter, Russian lollipop in his mouth. Russia will survive, and the winner will be forever in this Spanish shame. There will be no Russian NHL players at the Olympic Games in 2026, which means that whoever wins is not the real champion. Remember this!!! Sports are out of politics!!!
