I started scouting Davidson yesterday afternoon...call it a premonition. He shoots left and once dominated Owen Beck in the faceoff circle. Could he help the Habs in the dot?

The Habs have recalled Jared Davidson. I just so happened to scout two of his games this morning. Here are my thoughts on his game and what he can bring to the lineup, including potential help in the faceoff circle.

"Hage Looks Like a Different Player" - Habs Scouting Report

Montreal's depth at center is not something I have seen in many decades. It should result in several years of serious contention.

I studied Michael Hage's two games against Wisconsin last weekend and compiled this extensive two-part video scouting report. Folks - I am changing my tune on him, and this video demonstrates why:

🚨HABSCAST #59 IS UP!!🚨
I am evidently more worried about Sam Montembeault than the Habs' coach. Is my concern justified?

I'm hosting a special live HabsCast at 5:10 today. Join me to discuss the Montembeault dilemma. Should he still be getting the bulk of the work? Join the live chat and give me your thoughts:

Grant McCagg discusses the play of Samuel Montembeault and the reluctance of head coach Marty St. Louis to give Jakub Dobes a fair shot at the number one starter position.
