The Canadiens miss Joel Edmundson a lot this season. Both on the ice and in the bedroom. But now we learn that even if he is unable to play, the big defender remains an excellent leader for the Habs. To such an extent that it is he who is responsible for the speaker after the victories.
Wideman confirms to @jkamckenzie that Edmundson is in charge of the speaker and the playlist in the locker room after the victories.

Additionally, Chris Wideman says Edmundson is making a huge impact despite his absence this season and treats absolutely everyone on the team like a brother.
It’s important to note that Wideman didn’t know Edmundson before the start of the season, so it only took him a few months to fall in love with #44.
It should also be remembered that Edmundson was the player who asked management to bring Fix You as a song to enter for the CH at the Bell Center.
Josh Anderson also spoke about the leadership shown by Edmundson this season.
We got a sense of #Habs Edmundson’s influence when he led the charge to have “Fix You” reinstated as the team’s home intro song. He is also in charge of the dressing room playlists — “Good music, good vibes,” according to Evans. 2/3

Additionally, Edmundson is the only Canadiens player to post a photo of the rookie dinner on social media. In short, everyone at the Canadian seems to appreciate Edmundson and the latter seems to be able to have an impact without even setting foot on the ice. This is exactly why despite all the rumors surrounding the Canadian, Emundson’s name is hardly ever mentioned. He is excellent and he is a leader. In short, the kind of players that everyone wants to have in their team.
And that leads me to my next topic. What do you think of Edmundson as the next captain in Montreal? If the players vote, I have no doubt that he would win the title. I always thought Gallagher would be the one to wear the “C” until Suzuki was able to do it, but I have to admit that waiting for Edmundson’s teammates to compliment him like that makes me want to change my mind. ‘opinion.
Edmundson is only 28 years old and he is under contract with the Habs until 2023-2024.

Jake Evans also talked about Joel Edmundson in front of reporters and, unsurprisingly, he had nothing but good things to say about him as well.
Joel Edmundson’s leadership is being felt more and more in the Canadiens locker room. Does he deserve to have a letter on the front of his jersey next season? If yes which? ???? pic.twitter.com/88XudbUIsy
