Bieksa calls out the entire Canadiens roster on Saturday night.

Former National Hockey League player Kevin Bieksa does not like what he is seeing from the Montreal Canadiens this season, and he's likely not alone in his criticisms.

On Saturday night, Bieksa effectively called out the entire Canadiens roster, with one notable exception, during an intermission segment on Hockey Night in Canada. Bieksa expressed his concerns over what he has seen from the Canadiens this season, believing that the team as a whole is regressing compared to what they showed last season.

"For me Montreal is very concerning right now," said Bieksa. "When there's progress and you're a young team and you're losing that's fine... but what's the opposite of progress? Regression."

Bieksa feels like this applies to the entire Canadiens roster with the notable exception of one player.

"It seems like there is a lot of regression right now, the only guy I can think about who is progressing is Cole Caufield," said Bieksa giving Caufield his flowers.

Bieksa had some particular targets in mind when speaking of his concerns as well, calling out a few big names on the Canadiens roster during the segment.

"Everyone else has kind of flatlined," said Bieksa. "You think about [Kaiden] Guhle, you think about some of their young players, even [Nick] Suzuki, he's kind of flatlined."

Bieksa seemed to echo many of the concerns that have been expressed about Canadiens enforcer Arber Xhekaj in recent weeks as well.

"And then there's Arber Xhekaj," began Bieksa. "A guy that I love the way he plays but he's had a really tough season... there's too many mistakes on the ice, there's too many mistakes in the game within the game."

The Canadiens find themselves in dead last in the NHL's Atlantic Division with a record of 4-6-1 to start the season and an ugly -15 goal differential, making it difficult to argue with Bieksa's criticism of the team as a whole.
