The Canadian’s season ends with half the team paralyzed. What will training be like next season when all the injured are back? Who will be the number one goalkeeper? Will there be room for Sean Farrell? Will Pierre-Luc Dubois join the Habs? Will Kent Hughes swap defenders for forwards? Moderator Jérémie Rainville and panelists Richard Labbé, Alexandre Pratt and Stéphane Waite disagree. We also meet the coach of the Canadian defenders, Stéphane Robidas, who reviews his squad and tells us which player surprised him the most.

I’m not telling you that the Canadian will be fighting for the Stanley Cup next year. On the other hand, if everything falls into place, if management has an interesting summer, I see this club fighting for a place in the playoffs in February.
Richard Labbe
Physically, he’s clearly not ready. It will do him good to play the big guys in the American League for a year or two.

As a coach, I’ve come to appreciate him a lot, the way he behaves, he’s calm. I think he is a very good presence for our young defense brigade.
