What are your expectations for Chris Kreider?
It's a little hard to wrap your head around because we don't know how he'll perform with his new team.
But ultimately, knowing that he's likely to be in a situation where he'll have the tools to help the team on the ice, we can imagine that he might have a good season. But what would a “good season” look like?
We can't expect him to score 50 goals, nor can we expect him to become the team's offensive savior.
But what would be respectable,

The Montreal Alouettes clearly haven’t gotten over their crushing 48-29 loss to the British Columbia Lions last Saturday in Vancouver.
Back at practice on Wednesday, several players and members of the organization were still thinking about that game.
The game had been particularly physical, and several plays had drawn reactions from the Alouettes. Davis Alexander, in particular, criticized certain actions by defensive end Mathieu Betts against him. The Montreal quarterback believes that so

Ah, Nikita Kucherov…
The guy isn't one to mince words, and fans know that all too well. No need to remind you of Kuch's comments following the Lightning's Stanley Cup Finals victory over the Canadiens five years ago!
Why am I talking about him today, you might ask? It's simple: Kuch has been up to his old tricks again…
The Lightning's star player was asked how the game has changed over the years. To which he replied that the game is faster… but also dumber.
Classic Kucherov:

We’re approaching the final days of TIFF, but premieres are going strong. For instance, Danny Boyle’s Ink, about Larry Lamb and Rupert Murdoch revamping The Sun. The premiere was yesterday, with Boyle and stars Guy Pearce and Jack O’Connell.
Lainey has developed a real Jack O’Connell problem lately, so this is for her:Jack O'Connell attends the premiere of 'Ink' during the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival at Princes of Wales TheatreInk is one film I was bummed to

There is a real theme at TIFF this year of actors giving tremendous central performances only for the film around them to fall flat. Chris Rock’s latest directorial foray, Misty Green, is one such instance. The film, which Rock also wrote, follows down-on-her-luck actress Misty Green (Slow Horses’ Rosalind Eleazar) over the course of a critical week for her career and personal life. The film begins with Misty being kicked out of a lush beachfront apartment by her now deceased lover&r

Shawn Horcoff, the Red Wings' interim general manager, made a big announcement just a few minutes ago.
He told reporters at his press conference that Dylan Larkin would miss the start of training camp… because he's “injured.” Strange timing, isn't it?
Honestly, it really seems like the Red Wings are trying to take us for fools.
There's a world where Larkin is actually injured… but I'm having a hard time believing it given everything that's happe

Jacob Fowler, Jakub Dobes, and Samuel Mobnntembeault are all present for the start of training camp with the Montreal Canadiens.
But Kent Hughes made it clear during the team's golf tournament on Monday: the club will not start the season with three goalies on the roster.
And that means there will be a battle at camp for the No. 2 goalie spot, considering that Dobes is the clear favorite after the excellent season he just had.
Will it be Monty or Fowler who starts the season with the team? Good

As we watch the final moments of the MLB season unfold, Quebec baseball is still in full swing across the province. Here's the latest news about our wonderful sport.
The LBMQ's final four are now set, as the division finals began last Sunday. The Acton Vale Castors are still in the running after eliminating the Saint-Jean Pirates in a highly emotional series. The defending champions now face Montreal as their next challenge. The Jets have won the first two games so far, and the next matchup is s

Keenan Allen's legal case has taken a new turn.
The 34-year-old Indianapolis Colts wide receiver now faces two formal charges following his arrest last month in downtown Indianapolis.
Arrested by the Indianapolis Police Department on August 30, Allen had initially been subject to a preliminary hearing. This week, the court officially filed two charges against him: driving with a blood alcohol concentration of at least 0.15 and driving while intoxicated.
According to an affidavit cited by ESPN, t

Kirill Marchenko's name was all over the rumor mill this summer.
And things haven't calmed down in recent days after it was reported that the player decided not to attend his team's golf tournament—even though he still has one year left on his current contract.
That said, Don Waddell seems to have wanted to calm the storm with his most recent statement about his forward.
According to Aaron Portzline, who covers the team in Columbus, Waddell said he met with Marchenko, who told him:“I

There are certain films that will stick with you forever, once seen, they can never be forgotten. Beth de Araújo’s Josephine is such a film, an emotionally harrowing cinematic experience that is as tender as it is brutal. Josephine won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance earlier this year, and it’s no wonder. It’s an impossible film to dislodge from your brain, haunting and provoking and producing the kind of empathy Roger Ebert referenced when he called movies an “em

Whether he meant to or not, Pete Alonso stirred up a storm in New York. It's as simple as that.
On Monday, Alonso got the crowd at Citi Field on its feet. He also—once again, despite himself—prompted fans to call for David Stearns's head.
If Alonso had returned—wearing an Orioles uniform—in April or May, the fans' reaction would have been different. But in September?
The Mets are out of the playoff race largely because David Stearns saw fit to replace Pete Alonso with&hel

Could Arber Xhekaj do what he did once during the 2025–2026 season—play on offense?
The question was posed to Martin St-Louis during his press conference today. And the coach went further than I expected on the subject of Xhekaj.
Basically, the coach didn't rule it out.Could Arber Xhekaj play on offense this season?
“It's not something that scares me. Arber knows how to play hockey. To keep him in the lineup on certain nights, it's a possibility. But we still see him as a defen

The Houston Texans are bolstering their defense with the addition of Kenneth Murray, a former linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys.At 27, the defensive player will look to revive his career with the Texas franchise after a statistically strong 2025 season.
However, Murray will not immediately join Houston's active roster. The Texans have chosen to place him on their practice squad for the time being. This step is intended to allow him to familiarize himself with the team's defensive system and the

Who will be the Canadiens' No. 2 center, behind Nick Suzuki?
As long as Kent Hughes doesn't make any moves, the solutions will inevitably come from within the organization. We're talking about Alex Newhook, Kirby Dach, Oliver Kapanen, Phillip Danault, and Jake Evans.
This morning, Martin St-Louis was asked about this by reporters covering the team. What did he say?Basically, he mentioned that he has several options, but that the No. 2 center needs to be good at faceoffs and must be able to compl

Sydney Sweeney and a new ad she stars in are at the centre of a controversy in the world of sports. The ad, which promotes a sports trading app called Novig, features Sydney, who appears completely nude for most of it, save for the coverage of sports gear – footballs, a helmet, a soccer ball, cleets, a glove, a golf club and so on, and of course, a cheeky pair of Novig boy shorts. While Sydney says the ad was about ‘embracing a fun idea to cut through the noise and put the focus back

It's as if they're two people who refuse to break up, even though the love is gone. They take breaks, they threaten to break up, they break up, they get back together, they bicker…
But they're always still together.
Who am I talking about? You've probably guessed it: Arber Xhekaj and the Canadiens.
The Sheriff has signed a new one-year deal with the Canadiens in the last few hours, a deal that will pay him $1.5 million in 2026–27. He'll once again be eligible for restricted free age

Playwright-cum-filmmaker Martin McDonagh is back to challenge everyone’s media literacy with his latest film, Wild Horse Nine. Like his feature film debut, In Bruges, it’s a two-hander centered on bad men contemplating their bad deeds and wondering what is left at the end of it all. Wild Horse Nine stars John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell as Chris and Lee, respectively, a pair of CIA operatives in 1973 Chile, laying the groundwork for the military coup that will put General Pinochet in

Everyone knows that defenseman Kaiden Guhle isn’t fully healthy.
Well, the Canadiens have finally provided details on what's in store for the left-hander, who underwent minor surgery on his adductor muscle earlier this summer.
This is exactly what our colleague Maxime Truman reported earlier this summer.
The timeline: a return in four to five weeks. Of course, that's assuming everything goes smoothly, since injuries can take longer to heal.
So, in an ideal world, that brings us to mid-Octo

The Emmys were Monday night in Los Angeles, but everyone is in New York City. Verity stars Dakota Johnson and Anne Hathaway were both out and about in the big apple yesterday; I wonder if they’re doing advance press for Verity? That press tour has to be starting soon, the film opens in a couple weeks.But also, Jennifer Lawrence was outside amidst a relatively quiet year.

The Houston Astros are currently fighting for a playoff spot, and if they were to miss the playoffs, it would certainly hurt Yordan Alvarez's chances of winning the American League MVP award.
But even if the Texas team were to qualify for the postseason, that honor should go to Junior Caminero of the Tampa Bay Rays.
Just last night (Tuesday), the 23-year-old sensation hit a walk-off home run in the ninth inning to give his team the win against the Sacramento Athletics. It was the young slugger's

At times, The Athletic's rankings have infuriated Habs fans this summer.
But based on what was just presented this morning, I don't think Montreal fans will have any reason to be upset as training camp gets underway.
Why? Because the Habs are ranked highly in an article that ranks the NHL's windows of opportunity.
Scott Wheeler and Dom Luszczyszyn created a chart that ranks teams based on their present (the horizontal axis) and future (the vertical axis).
And as you can see, the Habs are right u

Dear Gossips,Can you hear that sound? It’s the sound of a million gossip hounds howling with delight as Tom Cruise gave an interview to GQ, his first cover profile with that magazine in twenty years, and it is a SCREAM. It’s entertaining in the way that only Tom Cruise is, which is to say—this man lives on a different plane of reality and reconciling his world to ours is impossible. Ask him literally anything and he will redirect the conversation to talking about making movies.

The situation involving the Denver Broncos and Drew Brees is raising questions within the NFL. Ahead of the AFC Championship Game, reports emerged of contact between the franchise and the former quarterback, even though he was still listed as officially retired by the New Orleans Saints.
Faced with the risk of a potential violation of the “tampering” rules, the question was posed directly to the NFL: Does the Broncos' alleged conduct constitute a violation of the rules?

Paloma Sandoval can’t quit Vancouver.The 24-year-old fashion stylist and model has tried. She has moved to Los Angeles and New York City for work, but she keeps finding her way back to B.C.“I tried to live in these other places, and I always go back home because I come here (L.A.) and I feel like I can’t breathe,” she says of Los Angeles, where we were meeting on the rooftop of the Roosevelt Hotel.The fact that the model, content creator and stylist — who counts ac

The Connor Hellebuyck situation is shaping up to be complicated.
The player had agreed to stay in Winnipeg long-term a few years ago (which helped the Jets avoid a rebuild), and his recent trade request wasn't a major public issue this summer.
In some respects, it was possible to find ways not to hold it against him.
But since then, he's gone public to ask to be traded… and we're now learning that the goaltender isn't expected to report to the Jets' training camp (according to Darren Dreg

The Blue Jays couldn’t have had a worse night.
Yesterday, at home against the Detroit Tigers, the Toronto team chose the worst possible moment to fall apart.
At this point in the race for the playoffs, every moment is the worst possible time to fall apart—that said… but you get the point.
The Blue Jays lost 10-1, but it goes beyond the pathetic performance they put on for the fans in attendance.
On a bullpen day, the guys ran out of gas. And good old Michael Lorenzen, in parti

I guess the Canadiens’ offseason has finally begun. Hehe.
Several months after signing Ivan Demidov and Jakub Dobes, the Canadiens have recently signed Zachary Bolduc, Chris Kreider, Martin St-Louis, Arber Xhekaj, and Alex Newhook in the last few days.
Yeah, things have been pretty busy the last few days.
Xhekaj's contract helps the team get better aligned for this season, and Newhook's contract provides clarity for next year. And in both cases, that can be helpful.
Especially for Kirill M

The Denver Broncos had a tough night to kick off their 2026 season.
Facing the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night, Sean Payton's team lost 31-10 in a game where several aspects of their play did not go as planned. (Denver Broncos
⁠)
This first game for the Denver Broncos was highly anticipated following a 2025 season that had taken the team all the way to the AFC Championship. Bo Nix's return to the starting quarterback position was also one of the main points of interest in this matchup.

It's (finally) settled.
After months of negotiations, the Anaheim Ducks have finally reached an agreement with Cutter Gauthier. He had still not signed a contract for the upcoming season.
It was well known that the forward, who couldn't sign a hostile offer, was asking for a lot. He wanted a big salary… and he's just signed a nice deal.
We're talking about a six-year contract that will pay him $13.5 million per year. The total value is therefore $81 million.
The Ducks made the announcemen

The signing of forward Alex Newhook really came out of nowhere earlier this evening.
We hadn't even recovered from the discussions surrounding Arber Xhekaj's signing when the Montreal Canadiens threw another curveball with Newhook's contract extension.
The Habs' No. 15 is under contract for four more seasons at $4.5 million per year, starting after the 2026–2027 season.
It's an excellent deal for the Habs, as Kent Hughes has once again proven himself a genius by keeping his players in Mont

Today, Trey Yesavage pitched in the AAA. The goal? For him to feel good over the next few days so he can pitch in the Majors next Monday.
We'll see how things play out in due time.
The problem? Yesavage, who was supposed to throw more than 40 pitches with the Bisons, was unable to get through the first inning in Buffalo.
He threw 34 pitches over 0.2 innings in his rehab start and was pulled to avoid throwing too many pitches in a single inning. An earned run was charged to his record.
Trey Yesav

The Canadiens have had a busy day so far. Earlier today, the team reached agreements with Arber Xhekaj and Alex Newhook.
The former needed a contract for the 2026–27 season, while the latter decided to extend his stay in the city through 2031.
The Habs, in fact, have plenty of reasons to be satisfied with their day. But in the last few minutes, Kirill Marchenko's agent, Dan Milstein, sparked some buzz on X.
Milstein shared a GIF showing a teddy bear having its eyes gouged out. And usually,

On the eve of the Montreal Canadiens' official training camp opening, the team decided to announce three major pieces of news in just one hour.
Now that the dust is slowly settling, it's time to break it all down in order, starting with Arber Xhekaj.
What kicked off this intense hour for the Habs was the announcement of the long-awaited new contract for Montreal's “Sheriff.”
However, it's not quite the contract we expected for #72, as he agreed to the terms of a one-year deal worth $

On September 12, Dylan Cease was available to pitch. But John Schneider didn’t call on him.
Instead, Cease pitched on September 13.
On September 18, Dylan Cease will be available to pitch. But once again, the plan is not to have him pitch on five days' rest.
John Schneider announced that his pitcher is instead scheduled to start Saturday's game (September 19) in Texas.
Even though the team has only four starting pitchers, it has still chosen to have Dylan Cease (and Jose Soriano, too) pitc

The Montreal Canadiens are on fire this early evening.
Following the signing of Arber Xhekaj to a one-year deal and the contract extension for Alex Newhook, the Habs have just announced another major development.
The list of players who will attend the Habs' training camp has been revealed.
It is now officially confirmed that 57 players will participate in the Habs' training camp.Fifty-seven players will report to the Canadiens' training camp, which begins Wednesday.
