Celebrities And Influencers Have Become The Voice Of Sudan Amid Internet Shutdown - Grit Daily

At the last trade deadline, there were rumors of Pierre-Luc Dubois being sent to Montreal.
The original idea was to create a “problem” exchange…
But the scenario never materialized, and that’s just as well.
Tony Marinaro revisited these rumours today on the Georges Laraque and Stéphane Gonzalez show (BPM Sports), and made a statement worth sharing.
Because it’s funny:Pick up Pierre-Luc Dubois or spend eight hours at the dentist to get a root canal? I’

The Kings will be in Quebec City this fall to hold their annual training camp in preparation for the start of next season.
Games against the Bruins and Panthers are also on the schedule…
But it’s also worth remembering that the $5 to $7 million subsidy (public money) offered by the government for the Kings to come and play exhibition games in Quebec City didn’t go down well with many, which is to be expected.
Further details were revealed today, as we learned that the Quebec

Last night, the Islanders really got away with it.
They were winning Game 2 of their series against the Hurricanes by a score of 3-0… And Patrick Roy’s men simply collapsed.
Carolina scored five unanswered goals to escape with the win and take a 2-0 series lead.Patrick Roy has seen it all in his career, however, and he’s not ready to give up.
He remembers the Nordiques-Canadien series in the spring of 1993…
And he wants to use it to motivate his players, because back t

Recently, we learned that the Anaheim Ducks have been lobbying for their players (including youngsters) to spend their summer in Florida with a certain Mike Barwis.
Who is Mike Barwis? He’s a trainer who specializes in the physical and psychological training of professional athletes, and who has the confidence of Anaheim GM Pat Verbeek.
Basically, the GM “suggested” that his players spend the summer in Florida to work with him. They say he suggests it because he can’t fo

In the NHL, performance bonuses affect a club’s payroll.
Basically, if a player is eligible for performance bonuses and receives at least one, it is added to the club’s payroll. And if the team can’t afford to add it to its payroll, it can add the amount in question to its payroll for the following year.
So that puts off the problem.
With Carey Price’s contract hanging over his head, the Habs are still at the maximum salary cap, forcing Kent Hughes to defer his bonuses.

Drafting again a few years later is a hobby some people never get tired of. If we had it to do over again, Lane Hutson would probably be drafted in the top 15 and not at the end of the second round in 2022…
If it were to happen again, the Canadiens would never have selected Louis Leblanc in the first round…
You get the idea.
TheAthletic’ s Corey Pronman took it a step further, surveying six NHL scouts and team executives to rank the nine most recent first-round picks in orde

As you know, the Golden Knights play field hockey within the limits of the collective agreement.
Every year for the past three years, the club’s captain has been injured just before the trade deadline. This creates space on the club’s payroll, and the club often looks for reinforcements.
And curiously, he’s always ready to come back for the playoffs, when the payroll no longer exists. Microfracture or not, this guy shows up for the playoffs.
Mark Stone is often unlucky to get

And how do you like the series so far?
There’s a fair amount of action every night, which is interesting. And last night, as my colleague Raph Simard summed up earlier this morning, was no exception either.
Every team (or just about every team) is still in the race, when you look at it.

I say “or thereabouts” because even if the Islanders aren’t a game away from the end, you can sense that the club is fragile. That’s what happens when you give up

Last night, there was plenty of action in the NHL.
Four more series were presented, two of which were getting underway.
Here are the results:
We saw the first hat trick of the 2024 #StanleyCup Playoffs, the first five-assist postseason game since 1998, as well as a game-tying and game-winning goal scored in the final three minutes of regulation. It was quite the night.#NHLStats: https://t.co/adr2ikkzNb pic.twitter.com/NbRRg9G48e

With the Coyotes’ (hockey assets) move to Salt Lake City, there’s been a lot of talk of relocation and expansion in the hockey world in recent weeks. Obviously, this has brought Quebec City back into the discussion, but we know that the capital isn’t the only candidate either.
Houston, Atlanta, Kansas City, back to Arizona and so on: it’s a busy time, as they say.
And of course, just because a destination isn’t the talk of the town doesn’t mean it’s not

Right now, the NFL is in the midst of its off-season. Later this week, the draft will take place (the first round is scheduled for Thursday evening), but there are still a few months to go before the season begins.
Will Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs win a third consecutive Super Bowl? We’ll know in a few months.
That said, as with every off-season, many teams are revamping their uniform wardrobes. The Broncos unveiled their new uniforms today, but other teams will follow suit.
And like e

In recent weeks, the Coyotes’ move to Salt Lake City has moved at almost dizzying speed. Almost overnight, Gary Bettman’s baby saw its future in Arizona threatened… at a relocation announcement.
Remember that “relocation” isn’t actually the right word (it’s the hockey assets that have been sold to Utah, but the Coyotes can return within five years and they retain their brand image), but in practice, the principle is much the same.
And if the fans thoug

When you think of Carey Price and P.K. Subban, you think of two guys who had a great time in a Habs uniform. After all, both guys represented the core of the team a decade ago, and while they didn’t win the Stanley Cup in town, they came close in 2014 before Chris Kreider derailed the Tricolore’s plans.
And on an individual level, both guys still won individual honors. They were among the league’s elite for a few years.
That said, when we think of these two players, we also th

Last year, the Canadiens drafted David Reinbacher fifth overall. The club once again improved its bank of defensive prospects, but more importantly, it got its hands on a player who seems to be a good kid.
We’ve gotten to know him over the past year: he seems to be a bit reserved, but above all, he seems to be a kid without a shred of arrogance.
In fact, his personality is a little different from that of Juraj Slafkovský, drafted a year earlier: the Slovak is a guy who seems at eas

NHL teams are well aware of the rules in place, but once in a while, some teams decide to bend the rules, and they often get caught.
Such is the case with the Anaheim Ducks, who were caught “heavily pressuring” their players to spend the summer in Florida.
Elliotte Friedman revealed this information on Saturday, in one of his 32 Thoughts.
The first thing one wonders when hearing this information is: why Florida? Well, it’s because the players would have spent the summer with c

The Buffalo Sabres have finally found their new head coach, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. The successful candidate is veteran coach Lindy Ruff.Let’s confirm this: Lindy Ruff will be the next head coach of the Buffalo Sabres, returning to the team he led from 1997-2103. @AdamBenigni was on it too

After another season of finishing at the bottom of the NHL standings, the Canadiens don’t often have the luxury of talking about league peaks. They flirt with unglamorous heights like the most games missed by injured players, but this time it’s flattering.
Jake Evans completed the season as the most shorthanded forward in the entire NHL. Not bad at all!

In 2023-2024, the Habs didn’t move up in the standings, but many of their players did. Of the lot? The first line, made up of Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield and Josh Anderson Juraj Slafkovsky.
The three youngsters have demonstrated their know-how.
Together, they even formed one of the NHL’s most dominant trios, according to the statistics. The boys scored 40 goals together – and at the start of the season, they weren’t playing on the same line.Juraj Slafkovsky & Nick Suz

Yesterday, Michel Bergeron got angry. He claimed that Nick Suzuki had no reason to be tired, and that he had made the wrong decision in refusing to represent Canada at the World Championship.
Naturally, his outburst caused quite a stir. After all, Nick Suzuki hasn’t missed a game since joining the NHL five years ago. And even though he hasn’t made the playoffs since 2021, there’s a reason he said no to Canada.
Even though he’s currently in the South.Nick Suzuki on vacati

As you know, the Canadiens will be looking to add an important piece to the club’s roster this off-season. Trading a defenseman for a forward is a possibility.
Will Trevor Zegras be the forward in question? We don’t know.
What we do know, of course, is that the rumours are out there. Whether it’s because of the potential fit , whether it’s because of the way he’s treated in California, whether it’s because of his connection to Cole Caufield or whether it&rsqu

Florian Xhekaj finished the season with the Rocket.
Arber’s little brother played three games in a Laval uniform at the end of the campaign, but didn’t pick up any points.
He had the opportunity to gain experience, and that’s important for next season, because we don’t necessarily expect him to return to junior.
The striker was in the squad for the final game of the season, played at Place Bell in front of the club’s fans.

The Canadiens’ season is (finally) over. The club had a season that can indeed be described as “better than last year”, but one reality remains: the club was virtually eliminated from the playoffs once the famous holiday trip was over.
The team’s last 30 or 35 games were therefore COLLECTIVELY FLATLESS, and turning the page on the 2023-24 season did me a world of good. Honestly!
The good news: yes, the club has progressed this season. Just look at the number of points sc

Five Canadiens players played in all 82 games of the 23-24 season.
We’re talking about Jake Evans, Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Juraj Slafkovsky and Mike Matheson.
It’s also interesting to note that Cayden Primeau and Samuel Montembeault have found a way to stay healthy.On the other hand, injuries still hurt the Habs’ season.

At the last trade deadline, Kent Hughes pulled a rabbit out of his hat.
He managed to trade Jake Allen to New Jersey, even though the goalie’s performance wasn’t exceptional.
That said, there had also been talk of the veteran goaltender landing in Colorado because the Avalanche needed an experienced goaltender… But Chris MacFarland (DG) finally decided to pass.
This morning, MacFarland must be regretting his decision to abandon the Jake Allen project.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
It’s starting to get nice outside… And the NHL playoffs have begun. It doesn’t get any better than this!
Yesterday, four games were presented across the league. Let’s see how it went:
All four home teams were victorious Sunday as hosts improved to 6-0 in the 2024 #StanleyCup Playoffs.
Home teams have won six straight games to begin a playoff year only four times prior: 1965 (10), 1959 (9), 1970 (8) and 1962 (8). #NHLStats:

The Arizona Coyotes had an excellent start to the season, so much so that at one point there was talk of a playoff run.
But the end of the year was difficult, at every level. The organization collapsed on the ice; it has the sixth-best chance of winning the Macklin Celebrini lottery, but we also learned in the last few days that it won’t be staying in Arizona.
Obviously, this prompted reactions and questions. But one of the questions that can’t go on any longer is the identity of th

In addition to the spring dance, there’s the World Hockey Championship on May 10.
We’ve learned that Caufield will be there.
However, there was a surprising response from captain Nick Suzuki regarding his participation.
Suzuki has refused to take part in the World Championship.
And that didn’t sit well with Michel Bergeron.
