Noah Dobson finished last night’s game with four shots on goal and 21:44 of ice time.
And that's all there is to say on the positive side.
The Canadiens defenseman had a tough game and was (partly) responsible for two of the Sharks' goals. He needs to be more effective on the ice.Tough night for Noah Dobson. He misplayed the half 2-on-1 on the second goal and had his stick and body positioning all wrong on the game-tying goal

Stars Still Sitting Out in Toronto
The Montreal Alouettes won't be making many changes to their game plan as they wrap up the regular season. On Friday night in Toronto against the Argonauts, quarterback Davis Alexander and wide receivers Tyson Philpot and Tyler Snead are not expected to play much, if at all.
As reported by RDS, head coach Jason Maas hasn't confirmed anything 100%, but he's planning an approach very similar to the one used in the previous game in Regina, where all three players

Harry Styles is nearing the end of his 30-show residency at Madison Square Garden which started in August. The permanent residents of MSG are, of course, the New York Knicks, it was their home opener last night, and Harry was in the house, even on his off night… which is good manners. Respect the hosts, especially when the hosts are the league champions.

After Mike Scioscia, Brad Ausmus, Joe Maddon, Phil Nevin, Ron Washington, Ray Montgomery, and Kurt Suzuki, Mike Trout will have yet another manager.
The Los Angeles Angels announced that Kurt Suzuki will no longer serve as the team's manager. His option for 2027 was not exercised.
The Angels are not bringing back Kurt Suzuki as manager, the team said.Suzuki was dealt a bad hand, and the 62-100 record reflected that. The Angels say they'll offer him a role within the organization.It's worth notin

The New York Rangers are in a strange situation.
The team, which has to make do WITHOUT Igor Shesterkin, keeps winning.
With a 7-2-1 record in their last ten games, the New York team is surprising just about everyone… and one has to wonder what the plan is within the club's front office.
After all, the Rangers surely won't go far with Dylan Garand and Spencer Martin, who are the team's only two goalies right now. And that's why we've been hearing Samuel Montembeault's name mentioned aroun

Second Suspension for Spitting in Buffalo
The Buffalo Bills have lost a second player for the same reason. The NFL has suspended defensive back Sam Franklin Jr. for one game, without pay, for spitting on a Las Vegas Raiders player. Franklin, however, categorically denies the allegations and plans to appeal the decision.
According to Sportsnet, citing an Associated Press report, the incident allegedly occurred last Sunday after the Raiders' successful extra point with 1 minute and 32 seconds rema

One of my biggest pop culture personality flaws is that I want nothing to do with The Lord of the Rings. If I read the books as a kid I don’t remember them. And I found the movies boring. Which means I know next to nothing about the story.
The only key words I can identify from LOTR are: Gollum, Sam, hobbits, and elves. Maybe wizard? In my mind, everyone in The Lord of the Rings is one of those three, a hobbit, an elf, or a wizard. Which is why I just asked Google this question: is Aragorn

Alexander Zharovsky hasn’t had the best start to the season in the KHL.
But today, we saw the full extent of his talent.
The Canadiens prospect finished the game with one goal and two assists and helped his team secure a win against HC Metallurg Magnitogorsk.
With his team trailing by two goals (3-1) in the game, Zharovsky made a simply spectacular rush… and ultimately scored a stunning goal.
It takes real skill to outmaneuver the defense and score a goal like that: Nice and ea

The thing about Conan O’Brien is he is adaptable. When the whole The Tonight Show debacle went down, he could have easily made bitterness his whole act but it’s just a blip now. And it’s part of why his Subway Takes interview is so funny, because he’s able to lean into how this era of ‘doing random stuff’ celebrity interviews has taken over from his old job with the couch, the big desk and the band. He can make a joke and a point and it never feels forced.

The world of American football is in mourning following the announcement of the death of Allen Bailey, a former defensive end for the Kansas City Chiefs.
The organization confirmed the news on Wednesday, sparking a wave of emotion among those who followed the player's career during his ten years in the NFL.
At just 37 years old, Bailey had spent much of his professional career with the Chiefs, where he played for eight seasons, from 2011 to 2018. Known for his work on the defensive line, he cont

Tonight, Brady Tkachuk will be in Ottawa for the Panthers vs. Sens game. Let's just say this storyline is getting more attention than Lars Eller's return to Ontario.
Right now, everyone's talking about the former captain.

This morning, Hal Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman (the Yankees' owner and general manager) appeared before the media to discuss the 2026 season.
First, we learned that Brian Cashman hasn't signed a new contract yet, but that he's reached an agreement with his bosses. He will therefore remain the general manager.
The Yankees also confirmed that the club had been discussing Aaron Boone's situation for a week and that the conclusion is that the team's failure in the 2026 playoffs is not his fault.

Patrik Laine is still a free agent in the NHL at the moment.
And don't think it's because the Finnish player, who hasn't played in a year, wants to explore options outside the world's best league.
Emily Kaplan believes the former Canadiens player has no interest in playing in Europe.As Patrik Laine remains unsigned, I'm told he has zero intention of signing in Europe. The longer this goes on, the more he says he's motivated to prove people wrong.

The Tennessee Titans have decided to end their relationship with Jordan Elliott following an incident at the team’s training facility.The 28-year-old defensive lineman was released on Tuesday after an altercation with his teammate JC Latham that reportedly took a concerning turn.
According to reports by Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, Elliott was heading toward his vehicle in the players' parking lot after an argument with the offensive lineman. He then allegedly attempted to retrieve a

With Carlos being a former Real Housewives producer and leaving the show to ultimately pursue his own podcast venture, there’s always the a

Yesterday, there was only one name on everyone's mind in Montreal when it came to sports: the Canadiens.
The young Sharks were in town, Jakub Dobes was trying to reclaim his spot as the number-one goaltender, and the Habs were looking for their first regular-season win this season at the Bell Centre.
Unfortunately, young Macklin Celebrini had the last word, Jakub Dobes (truly) didn't reclaim his starting goaltender spot, and the Canadiens still haven't won their first regular-season game in fron

Christian Yelich joined the Milwaukee Brewers in a trade in 2017 and quickly became the face of the franchise, largely due to his 2018 National League MVP award. And he nearly repeated that feat the following season.
Although the 34-year-old is no longer the same player he once was, he has still made such an impact that the Brewers named him the team's first official captain last September. He thus joined Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Salvador Perez of the Kansas City Royals as the onl

With 24 hours to go before a long four-game road trip, the Canadiens… sent some players down to the minors.

The Ottawa REDBLACKS have announced the return of Canadian defensive lineman Philippe Lemieux-Cardinal to their organization.This decision, confirmed on Wednesday, allows the Ontario-based team to once again rely on a young player who had already spent time with the team earlier this season.
Standing six feet three inches tall and weighing 245 pounds, Lemieux-Cardinal has the ideal build for a defensive lineman. His return could give him another chance to showcase his abilities and earn a more p

I mentioned it briefly this morning, but penalties are among the reasons behind the Canadiens' loss.
It's not the only reason (Jake Evans' and Lane Hutson's mistakes on the opponent's first two goals are also worth noting), but it's part of the explanation.
Alexandre Texier's penalty, for example, didn't help.
But the two plays that immediately come to mind were completely unnecessary and led directly to the Sharks' last two goalsOn the sidelines of the Carey Price Bowl.

Two days ago, I wrote that seeing the Canadiens win more often than not (not consistently, but still) wasn't exactly a coincidence.
Why? Because the guys were scoring on the power play, weren't giving up much when shorthanded, and because Jacob Fowler was finding ways to win.
Yesterday, in a 4-3 loss (in overtime), Jakub Dobes didn't step up down the stretch, nor did the penalty kill (in a game marked by poor discipline)… and the power play did nothing. It's no coincidence that the Habs l

The Montreal Alouettes have announced the return of Canadian kicker Lewis Ward to their roster.The 33-year-old special teams specialist had already temporarily rejoined the Montreal club for a few weeks in mid-June. His return provides the team with another option, as they will be able to count on the experience of a player known for his accuracy and consistency in the Canadian Football League (CFL).
A native of Royal Leamington Spa, England, Ward spent the bulk of his professional career with t

For its very first game in France, the NFL doesn't want to take any chances. Sunday's matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis will take place under tight security. The league announced heightened security measures following the violent riots that rocked the country last weekend.
These disturbances are among the worst France has seen in years. Vehicles were set on fire, public buildings were stormed, and a historic city hall was des

The NFL Players Association is not satisfied. On Tuesday, it called for a thorough investigation into how the Philadelphia Eagles handled the blood clots affecting their quarterback, Jalen Hurts.
According to the union, the league reportedly informed it that no investigation was planned. The Association, however, believes the facts must be clearly established before drawing conclusions, in order to better protect players in the future.
A few hours earlier, NFL officials had strongly defended the

Tonight, the Canadiens lost to the Sharks. It's a painful loss, especially since the Habs were in control of a game they let slip away.
Once again, the team blew a lead in the third period.
It's worth noting, however, that after the game, Ivan Demidov was seen chatting with Andrei Markov. Markov attended the game and clearly wanted to take the time to greet the young Russian forward.
Except that, according to Stu Cowan, there's still some bad news to take away from all this: Demidov is currently

As we know, Dylan Larkin wants to leave Detroit. The Red Wings forward requested a trade early this summer, but his wish has not (yet) been granted.
Reports circulating over the past few days, however, suggest that the situation could be resolved soon.
Of course, all of this would depend on Larkin's willingness to expand the list of teams to which he would agree to be traded. We know that the Canadiens, for example, are ready to make a move for him… but the veteran would not agree to be t

Luke Mittelstadt has been gaining popularity in Montreal since training camp. The 23-year-old defenseman, who performed well in camp, has now recorded 13 points in six AHL games during the 2026-27 season.
Remember: he's a defenseman.
Of course, his offensive breakout is somewhat surprising. Mittelstadt wasn't necessarily the most offensive-minded player in the NCAA (he tallied 21 points in 36 games during his most productive season), and he seems to have found his niche in Laval.
And it's even m

For the past few days, there has been a possibility that Brandon Woodruff could return to action for the Brewers in the World Series.
Will the pitcher be healthy enough to make his return to the mound, given that he underwent shoulder surgery in July and was expected to miss the rest of the season?
It's possible. And we know he'd love to—he's been in Milwaukee his whole life and wants to give Wisconsin fans a taste of victory.
However, as Ken Rosenthal reports in an article for The Athleti

The Canadiens and the Sharks are currently facing off at the Bell Centre. We're in for a showdown between two of the NHL's best young teams.
We're likely to see these two teams face off in many high-quality matchups in the coming years.
And after the first period ended with the score tied at 1-1, Juraj Slafkovský decided to take matters into his own hands. The Slovakian, who set up Nick Suzuki's goal in the first period, put his team ahead.
But it was the way he did it that really caught
