Welcome back to PuckTalk MTL with BREAKING NEWS surrounding the Montreal Canadiens.
In this episode, we react to the long awaited decision as Eric Raymond is fired as the Habs’ goaltending coach, a move that immediately raises major questions about direction, accountability, and what comes next for Montreal’s crease.
We break down why this decision was made, what factors likely led to the change, and how goaltending performance, workload, and development trends played into management’s call. From inconsistent results to confidence issues and system fit, we analyze whether this move was overdue—or a sign of deeper organizational frustration. What does this mean for the Canadiens’ current goaltenders? And how could a new voice behind the bench change preparation, technique, and results?
This video also looks at the broader impact on coaching structure, player development, and expectations moving forward. For Habs fans, we discuss what to watch for next, possible replacements, and how this decision fits into Montreal’s long-term plan. For NHL and hockey fans, this is a clear example of how teams respond when results don’t meet standards.

I thought of you when I heard this! Now, if we can only solve the broken stick problem. It's cost them a goal last week. Thanks for your podcast!
WOW!!! It's funny, only in the past few days has the Habs-Tube-o-Sphere caught up with you on this subject.
Thanks!
As soon as i heard Eric
Raymond was fired i knew you would be happy. I expect steady improvement from the goalies
good move by the habs and feel same should been gone long time ago
agree everything you said
Great opening for MAF!!!
This needed to happen. The only MTL shutout this year belongs to a guy now back playing the AHL
Had to happen. Sadly
Holy F–k! FINALLY! How the hell did Raymond hang on as long as he did? The Hab goalies have been horrible. Maybe Primeau wasn't such a bad goalie after all. It's possible Primeau really was good. He would have ruined Fowler. Au revoir Raymond. Go ruin some other teams' goalies.
It baffles me that they hire guys that never played hockey a5 a good level or any level at all to coach goalies 🤦♂🤦♂ biggest example is Stephane waite coaching Carey Price , Waite had zero impact on Price ‘s play . Goalie coach are only conditioning coaches . Take a minute outta your day and listen to guys like Stephane Waite , you’ll understand, the guy is a short tubby moron who makes the most retarded comments when it comes to hockey . There zero chances those no name coaches can show nhl goalies anything , they can train and condition goalies but at the end of the day goalies play the way they do cause that’s the way they’ll be more successful for what they’re working with
Goalie coaches are they’re to mostly prepare their goalie mentally . Why not hire a guy that’s been there before recently, a guy that had to deal with that Montreal type pressure . Hire a retired goalie to coach the habs goalies . Forget about Carey Price , he’s made 100 millions in his career , the crazy thing about Price , even though he was and still is to this day , the most technically sound goalie in history , he rather be fishing and hunting than playing hockey
Eric Raymond 😂😂 this guy should had never been around the team anyway , he was with the ranges prior to 2021 , where lundkvist had horrible season . Hiring your buddies is a horrible idea.
TBF to Monty, this summer he was healing a groin injury
Bring back Carey price to coach them
as soon as i read he was relieved, i went to see if you had a video made about it.
great news , if our goalies played well this year we would be in 1st place
I can’t remember where I read it, and I had to translate it from Francais, but Montembeault was apparently trashing his blue line after his loss in Boston. If Monty is not afraid to speak poorly of his teammates I’m guessing that what I heard from one of his teammates was probably true.
Habs need new coaches behind the bench as well. These guys have taken them as far as they can. Thanks for the effort but as MSL said at the beginning. We all won't be here at the end. That includes you Marty.
The penny finally drops !
This was way way overdue !
How it took so long is incredible !
