Snake: I Really Don't Like This Habs Pick... | The Sick Podcast with Tony Marinaro June 29 2024

Love snake on the pod he’s amazing he always brings entertainment. Please keep bringing him back throughout the summer

Latvian speaker here. Vecvanags is pronounced Vets-Vun-Ughs (Vets as in veterans, Vun sounds like fun but with the "V' sound, Ughs like the footwear)

More i listen to snake here or processus.. more i like the guy .. he is so smart

Just getting Demidov, whom we all agree would be a 1st or 2nd overall pick the year we got Slaf, and if we were able to add a fantastic number 3 centre on a Stanley Cup contending team in Hage... This draft was an overwhelming success. If anyone, including Koivu pans out, that is just gravy! Well done Habs. The future is UNBELIEVABLY BRIGHT!!!

Because of Dach's injury and Arizona winning their last game of the season, Montreal ended up with the 5th position and Demidov. In a rebuild, loging games does help at times !!!

I saw Lafleur in one of the last games he played in the minors... and at that time he was a centre... and since Lafleur... we never had the chance to pick a Demidov... I am so so so happy... Can’t believe it is un habitant Canadien...

Can not wipe the smile off my face. Wounderful draft. Love this management group. Leaf fans have to be angry about this. GO HABS!!!

It'll be a lot of fun for us to compare Demidov and Celebrini in the upcoming years.

Wow, this episode was a great show. Very respectful back and forth on multiple topics. Merci Simon

2027 Canadiens Roster Demidov - Suzuki - Slafkovsky Caufield - Dach - Hage Newhook - Beck - Roy Tuck - Kapanin - Xhekaj And so many others that can slot in here... Looking good!

55:43 snake make his biggest statement about the Habs' Future

The 'character' theme from the HABS management (Gorton & Hughes) has been in place from the beginning, since their first draft in 2022. I absolutely trust our management & coaching team. They are making all the right choices, and hopefully they will not feel pressured to 'RUSH' the rebuild in any way despite the impatience of a few HABS fans.

Question for Tony & Snake: How would you rank as #1, #2, #3, these 3 players at their draft age of 18: Kirby Dach ? Nick Suzuki ? Michael Hage ?

Never really followed the draft before but the coverage that this popcast had sparked my interest. Great job.

Stoked we got Makar Khanin. Shoutout to Grant for highlighting him earlier this season!

Demidov will be a superstar because of the way he takes off his jacket.

I was very happy with this years draft. I hate to suggest this,but a top 10 pick in next years draft,to get an elite or close to elite 1st round pick,to solidify the rebuild would be acceptable. After that, it’s full speed ahead. I’m sure that I’m going to catch some crap,but that’s ok.

You guys have to stop this BS about "french born" players..yes I know the history and I know the culture, but do you want to win or not? No other team is handicapped by pressure to pick players from one province. Let go of that stupid BS. You're not producing enough good hockey players in Quebec anymore to be obligatd to pick them. You chose an Austrian French-speaker last year in the first round with Reinbacher. Oh he has to be from Quebec? SO produce better players so we can draft more...Look at the 1st round of the draft...how many from the Quebec league compared to OHL, WHL, and USHL??

Loved the back ‘n forth. You guys are pure gold. Thank you.

Great episode guys!
