Locked On Canadiens
Hosted by Locked On Canadiens
A daily news and analysis podcast for Montreal Canadiens fans, hosted by two dedicated followers of the team.
This is a daily, timely reaction show for dedicated Montreal Canadiens fans. The hosts, Ian and Laura, break down news as it happens—trades, draft picks, and press conferences—often on the same day. The format is a mix of co-host analysis, recurring segments like the 'Habs Rumour Roundup' and listener mailbags, and occasional expert guest interviews.
“Its primary distinction is its daily cadence, providing immediate analysis in a structured, network-podcast format. The co-host dynamic between the long-time fan-pundits, one of whom has prior experience at SiriusXM, offers a consistent and familiar voice for the daily listener.”

What you'll be asked on this show
When a guest is featured, the interview opens with a broad question to get their immediate reaction to a breaking news event. The hosts then use specific follow-up questions based on the guest's analysis to probe deeper into team strategy and player development. However, the show is primarily a co-hosted discussion format, not a traditional interview show.
The show is a co-hosted discussion between Ian Boisvert and Laura Saba. Episodes are structured around recent news, a main topic (like draft strategy or a player analysis), and recurring segments like the listener mailbag or rumor roundup. While most episodes are just the two hosts, they occasionally bring on expert guests for specific events like the NHL Draft.
