On the program the Montreal Canadiens had a rough time to prepare to play the San Jose Sharks on Monday after not getting much out of the trade deadline. The Canadiens were expected to be a playoff team after getting off to a shockingly surprising start going 9-0 to start the season only to lose their star goaltender Carey Price. The Canadiens are reportedly having internal problems and you can expect the team to unload some of the players in the off season.

Joe and Matt talk Sharks and Canucks who meet two more times this week after meeting last Sunday. They’ll bring you up to date with everything NHL on this edition of Sportstalk from the Sandbar Restaurant in downtown Vancouver.
