There have been some developments regarding the next NHL expansion.
First, yesterday we learned that Bill Daly will announce the new expansion team by the end of 2026, which is expected to join the league in 2029–2030.
This doesn't really help the Montreal Canadiens, because they have several promising players and won't be able to protect them all.
The general consensus is that the Habs should opt for the approach of protecting seven forwards, three defensemen, and one goaltender, rather t

Yesterday, pitcher Ryan Weathers left the game between the Blue Jays and the Yankees. We were wondering what that meant.
Ultimately, the Yankees announced that the pitcher would be sidelined for two to four weeks.
After that, he'll inevitably need a little more time to make his return.
Aaron Boone said there's a “good chance” he'll return this season, but that doesn't mean it will happen. His season is inevitably compromised.
Ryan Weathers will not throw for 2–4 weeks. Aaron Bo

Yesterday marked the “Zee's Final Shift” event—Zdeno Chara's hockey farewell game—as the 49-year-old star defenseman laced up his skates in front of the cameras one last time in front of his fans in Slovakia.
For the occasion, several of Zdeno Chara's friends and former teammates were on hand to play and watch.
Marian Hossa, Raymond Bourque, Patrice Bergeron, David Pastrnak, and Brad Marchand (who did not play due to injury), among others, were all there to play and pay t

In a desperate search for offensive production, Sean Keys made his Major League debut with the Toronto Blue Jays in late June of this season, recording a few hits and two RBIs along the way. However, that wasn't enough to keep him in the MLB at that time.
Although Alejandro Kirk has experienced a resurgence and some other Blue Jays players have slightly improved their hitting recently, the search for offensive firepower continues in Toronto, as the Jays' offense remains mediocre despite the team

Last season, Zachary Bolduc's debut with the Montreal Canadiens got a lot of fans excited, not only because he's a young Quebec native, but also because he has a lot of offensive talent.
Things got off to a great start for the 23-year-old, who scored three goals in his first three games of the season, but his play quickly faltered as he went through several slumps throughout the season.
In the end, Bolduc finished the season with 30 points, including 12 goals—a fairly modest total that fel

The Tampa Bay Lightning remain an excellent team in the National Hockey League, as Julien Brisebois has managed to keep the team competitive following their back-to-back Stanley Cup victories in 2020 and 2021.
However, aside from a loss in the 2022 finals, the Lightning have now been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs four times in a row over the past four years.
The team still boasts excellent players, but success has eluded them.
The team's best players are getting older, and let's

Yesterday was Kade Anderson Day in Seattle.
The top pitching prospect in MLB, who had an outstanding season in Double-A, was called up by the Mariners to make his Major League debut.
Cal Raleigh even understood the significance of the moment, choosing not to wear his colorful bib (from Players' Weekend) behind home plate.
Why? So the young man wouldn't have to watch the highlights of his first career game with a catcher who stood out. #Class
In the end, Anderson still pitched well, even if he wa

Preseason games for the 2026–2027 season are in full swing in the KHL, as all 22 teams in the Kontinental Hockey League are already gearing up for the upcoming season.
We'll obviously be keeping a close eye on this league once again, as we do every year—both for the performances of the Montreal Canadiens' prospects and for the zany moments.
In fact, it's not uncommon for some pretty funny or unusual moments to occur in the KHL.
We were treated to just such a scene yesterday in a game

Montreal Canadiens fans are certainly very pleased with the work Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton have done since they arrived.
What's most impressive is what they've been able to accomplish in terms of salary cap management and the contracts awarded to the team's core players.
When you look around the NHL, no other team's salary structure is as impressive as the Habs'.
Nick Suzuki (who, however, extended his contract under Marc Bergevin) and Cole Caufield got the ball rolling, and the rest simply fo

The Montreal Canadiens already have a very strong, young, and talented core, with several prospects on the way.
Players like Michael Hage, Alexander Zharovsky, Jacob Fowler (who isn't officially a member of the team), Bryce Pickford, Adam Engstrom, and many others are all very intriguing.
However, the Habs need to improve to be considered a powerhouse and a true Stanley Cup contender, especially in the top six on offense, or by adding a physical, defensively reliable right-handed defenseman.

Kyle Tucker took batting practice on the field before the game yesterday. He hadn't done that all year.

What's their dynamic like?

In the most recent draft, the Habs selected Gleb Pugachyov in the first round. The kid, who will spend the next year in Russia, will certainly be keeping people here on the city's radar.
We can't wait to see what he's capable of… but above all, at what level he'll be playing.
Because it's worth noting that Pugachyov, unlike Ivan Demidov two years ago and Alexander Zharovsky last year, isn't guaranteed to spend the year in the KHL. In fact, over the past few days, he's been seen playing in
