A player comparable to Zachary Bolduc complicates negotiations, according to David Ettedgui

Zachary Bolduc is still without a contract, and—slowly but surely—the clock is starting to tick against both sides.
The Canadiens' training camp begins on September 16. That leaves Kent Hughes and the Bolduc camp with less than two weeks to find common ground.
According to David Ettedgui, a contract signed elsewhere in the NHL would have actually complicated the negotiations.
Specifically, Mavrik Bourque's contract.
Speaking on BPM Sports, Ettedgui explained that Bourque—who he

As of today, Samuel Montembeault is still in Montreal. The goaltender, who has seen Jakub Dobes (and even Jacob Fowler) move ahead of him in the pecking order, was viewed by many as someone who might leave.
That could still happen, mind you… but now more than ever, we have to consider a scenario in which he remains with the organization to start the season.
This means that right now, there are questions in net. Jakub Dobes will likely be the team's No. 1 goalie, but the situation behind h

September kicks off with a bang, featuring league baseball games almost everywhere in Quebec. The various leagues are in playoff mode, and the coming days will feature several thrilling games at stadiums across the province.
To kick things off, the first major championship series of the 2026 season will take place in the Puribec League. After defeating Témiscouata, the Rivière-du-Loup team will now face Kamouraska for the coveted title. The first game of the best-of-seven series is

The season is fast approaching.
Before we get to see the team's veterans and stars in action, there will be rookie camp.

We're already in the final month of the 2026 Major League Baseball season, and this famous month of September can bring both spectacular comebacks and epic collapses.
In fact, let's take a brief look back at the worst collapses in MLB over the past 25 years.
Starting with the San Diego Padres, who led the National League West division for virtually the entire 2010 season before crashing and burning. At the end of August, San Diego held a six-and-a-half-game lead over the San Francisco Giants bef

The other day, Gleb Pugachyov took part in his KHL team's official photo.
My colleague Charles-Alexis Brisebois then wondered what lay ahead for the young man. Because the photo doesn't necessarily mean he had secured a spot on Torpedo's roster at all costs and/or that he would play in every game.
That could slow down his development.
Today, we have more answers. The Habs prospect isn't on the team's roster for the start of the season.
The club will kick off its season with four road games.Habs

Damn, sometimes I just don’t get what the crowd is thinking.
Sometimes I'm the problem—I'll admit it—but other times, it's clearly the crowd.
Since Brendan Gallagher left, the Canadiens have been left with a captain (Nick Suzuki) and just one assistant captain (Mike Matheson). So there's an “A” to hand out to someone before the season starts.
Several names have been thrown into the mix: Josh Anderson, Alex Newhook, Cole Caufield, Lane Hutson, Juraj Slafkovsky, Kaide

In recent years, the Canadiens have had two alternate jerseys. Both times, they featured blue.
They looked better than the centennial pajama collection, let's be honest… but the Canadiens haven't exactly been successful when they've worn blue.
It got people talking.
We knew the Canadiens would be getting a new one this year. And now Max Lalonde from BPM Sports has revealed details about the CH's TWO new jerseys.
He talked about it in the opening minutes of today's show, with Gilbert Delor

The Toronto Blue Jays have just won a huge series against the Cleveland Guardians. Not only have the Blue Jays moved within half a game of the final “best second-place” spot, but they've also secured the tiebreaker against the Guardians in the standings.
So if the two teams are tied after 162 games, Toronto would be ahead of Cleveland.
But the work is far from over. The Jays' final month of the regular season will see them face the Baltimore Orioles, the Detroit Tigers, and the Texas

Trevor Zegras was photographed at the U.S. Open yesterday. And it's causing quite a stir on social media.
Why? Because standing next to him was a reporter whose job is to cover the activities of his team, the Philadelphia Flyers. That's why it's causing such a stir.
Here's the photo in question of the player, who recently signed a four-year contract to stay in Pennsylvania.

The Professional Soccer Hall of Fame is set to radically transform the way its future members are selected.
Starting with the
Class of 2027, the selection process will be streamlined, the committee will be significantly reduced in size, and the distinction between modern-era players and “Seniors” will be eliminated.
This reform follows an extensive analysis conducted over nearly two and a half years. According to Jim Porter, president and CEO of the Hall of Fame, the goal is to ensur

It's now official: TVA Sports will broadcast 32 Canadiens games per season for the next 12 seasons.
We know that Amazon will air seven Canadiens games (here's this year's list, by the way) and that the other 45 games will be on RDS, which will therefore broadcast the majority of the games.
As for the rest, it'll be business as usual for Canadiens fans: the playoffs will be on TVA Sports, and events like the draft will also be on Quebecor.

Last night, Adley Rutschman was back in Baltimore for the first time since the trade that sent him to the Red Sox.
Naturally, there was a lot of emotion in the air.
The catcher received a warm welcome from the Orioles organization and Baltimore fans before his first at-bat.
And he managed to channel his emotions to hit a long ball just seconds after the tribute—even though he isn't 100% physically.

The Kaiden Guhle situation is concerning.
On Tuesday, we reported—based on footage obtained by our colleague Patrick Guillet—that Kaiden Guhle was not practicing with the rest of the team on the ice.

With Brendan Gallagher’s departure, a spot is now open on the Canadiens’ leadership group.
Nick Suzuki obviously wears the “C,” and Mike Matheson already has an “A.” Now it remains to be seen who should round out the group.

Yesterday, the idea of an NHL player earning $30 million per season in a few years might have seemed completely crazy.
It may be much less crazy than we think.
Alan Walsh recently predicted that we could see contracts reach $30 million annually within four years. As my colleague Raphael Simard pointed out yesterday, however, the salary cap would have to rise to at least $150 million for a player to earn that much.
Now, that famous $150 million figure has just resurfaced.

Today, the Blue Jays and the Guardians faced off in a game that was very, very important for the standings. The tiebreaker for the playoffs was also on the line.
After all, the Guardians started the day 1.5 games behind the Blue Jays, who were trying to close the gap in the standings.
In any case, the Guardians were set to end the day in a playoff spot, ahead of teams like the Rangers, the Orioles, and the Blue Jays.
The Guardians were the first to score. In the third inning, they loaded the bas

Will Lane Hutson continue to improve this season, and if so, how far will he go?
After recording 66 and 78 points, respectively, in his first two NHL seasons, the 22-year-old defenseman is expected to boost his offensive output this year.
I believe we can expect Hutson to average at least one point per game this season and finish the campaign with at least 82 points.
If that's the case, Matt Larkin—who compiled a list of the top 10 potential candidates for the trophy awarded to the league'

Today, we learned that seven Canadiens games will be broadcast on Prime on Wednesday nights during the 2026–2027 season.
Another 45 games will be shown on RDS. We suspected that the remaining 32 games would be broadcast on TVA Sports, but nothing had been confirmed.
But now TVA Sports has confirmed that the other 32 games will air on its network. Twelve more years. Hundreds of games. Emotions galore.The NHL and TVA Sports have reached a new French-language broadcast agreement that will all

Anthony Santander in the AAA?
It could happen as early as next week, if all goes well.
John Schneider said Anthony Santander is making progress:“He's hitting off live pitching down in Florida today and this weekend, and then the optimistic part of me says that if he can get into some rehab games in the AAA next week,” Santander could be back before the end of the season.

If you didn’t already know, the CH really likes Michael Hage. They hold him in very high regard.
Management seems unwilling to trade him, even though he could be part of a deal for Dylan Larkin or Kirill Marchenko, for example.
In Larkin's case, he reportedly still has the Habs on his no-trade list, but the Wings are said to have their eye on Hage.Could Michael Hage be the key piece in a trade for Dylan Larkin? pic.twitter.com/0Z8LW6g6nG

Right after it was reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Sussex were moving back to England (and they are there now), there were all kinds of rumours about her return to acting – and a role on Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen was being speculated for the series’ third season.
Perfect timing of course since season two just dropped on Netflix and the premiere was last night. Seems like the cast was ready for the questions and left enough ambiguity for the Meghan speculating to continu

One of those films on the list is Danny Boyle’s Ink, which is about how The Sun became, well, The Sun – a tabloid, one of the most powerful in the world, and therefore one of the most polarising, controversial, and even dangerous publications on the planet.The
