Welcome to a new season of Hockey Inside/Out!

Gazette sports columnist Stu Cowan will host the show this season with former Canadiens teammates Chris Nilan and Rick Green — who won the Stanley Cup together in 1986 — as the regular panellists.

In the first episode of the season, they discuss what kind of impact the sprained knee that will sideline forward Patrik Laine for 2-3 months will have on the Canadiens and any hopes they have of making the playoffs. Also, which winger is the best option to replace Laine on the second line with Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook?

The panel also talks about what they’re most excited about this season with the Canadiens, what would be considered to be a successful season for the team and much more.

Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
