Inside today's Locked on Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens played the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night, and despite the 4-2 loss to their rivals, it was a highly competitive affair. Scott and Laura take a peek at the game, with plenty of praise for Kirby Dach who is stepping up in a big way for the Canadiens right now. There is also plenty of other praise to go around, especially for Samuel Montembeault and the call-ups from the Laval Rocket.

Speaking of Montembeault, with his strong play as of late, is it crazy to think he's wrestled the starting job away from Jake Allen when the latter returns from injury? Also, has the play of Montembeault potentially increase the likelihood for Allen to be traded at the deadline?

Finally, Scott has a theory about the recent strong play of both the Habs and the Rocket. With so many injuries to both sides and the rosters in constant flux, has simplifying the gameplans made it easier for the team to find a baseline for play every single night? The hosts discuss the theory, and whether it should stick around when the teams get healthy in the coming weeks.
