MONTREAL \u2013\u2013 The wait is finally over. Season 2 of The Rebuild: Inside the Montreal Canadiens premieres Thursday, August 21, exclusively on Crave.<\/p>\n
The two-part debut is set to launch on the streaming platform, taking fans behind the scenes from inside the dressing room to players\u2019 homes, to a team trip to Mont-Tremblant and beyond.<\/p>\n
Here are five storylines to watch for in the first two episodes of the new season:<\/p>\n
BROTHERLY LOVE\u2026 ISH (EPISODE 1)<\/p>\n
Lights, camera and… Florian Xhekaj unprepared for action. Big brother Arber welcomes us into their downtown apartment, where the siblings \u2013\u2013 and roommates \u2013\u2013 duel in a lighthearted game of billiards. Arber closes out the segment with bragging rights on the pool table. No surprise there, according to the Habs defenseman.<\/p>\n
LIGHTS WILL GUIDE YOU HOME (EPISODE 1)<\/p>\n
Join Juraj Slafkovsky in the passenger seat as he heads to the Bell Centre for the Canadiens\u2019 2024-25 home opener. Turns out the 21-year-old\u2019s patience on the ice doesn\u2019t translate behind the wheel \u2013\u2013 especially when his teammates are in front of him.<\/p>\n
JAKE\u2019S CAFE (EPISODE 2)<\/p>\n
Jake Evans, Nick Suzuki and David Savard walk to a local Buffalo coffee shop for their traditional pregame ritual, where they are greeted by fans seeking autographs, including one particularly disappointed fella who discovers Evans isn\u2019t, in fact, \u201cMr. Hutson.\u201d<\/p>\n
22 TO 13: HONORING JOHNNY HOCKEY (EPISODE 2)<\/p>\n
In the wake of the tragic and unexpected passing of Johnny Gaudreau, Cole Caufield makes the heartfelt decision to change his jersey number from 22 to 13, paying tribute to his close friend and childhood idol. The Canadiens\u2019 executive team navigates the challenges that come with such a significant last-minute change, and Caufield reflects on the decision \u2013\u2013 including signing 1,800 No. 22 jerseys to ease the transition.<\/p>\n
LIFE IN THE FAST LANE (EPISODE 2)<\/p>\n
Later in Episode 2, viewers are introduced to some of Lane Hutson\u2019s family in a segment featuring the Calder Trophy winner. From a quick call with his dad, to a FaceTime with his youngest brother and an exclusive sit-down interview with his mom, we learn the Hutson family\u2019s commitment and passion for hockey is just as strong as Lane\u2019s.<\/p>\n
