Brady Tkachuk still has no points this season

The Florida Panthers have done everything they could this summer to make a strong comeback and re-establish themselves as Stanley Cup contenders.
The addition of Brady Tkachuk is probably the Panthers' biggest acquisition.
The return of Aleksander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk—who missed a LOT of games—along with all the other players who were injured last season, had us believing that everything was going to work out.
However, the Panthers quickly lost Barkov to yet another injury that

The Boston Red Sox have been looking to trade Jarren Duran for years. It's one of baseball's worst-kept secrets.
I've said before that it's time for the team to put him out of his misery. I still believe that.
At some point, I don't think it's a coincidence that his 2026 season was disastrous by his standards. He must feel trapped in Boston.
And that's probably what causes him to act strangely at times. I'm not saying this to defend him, by the way, but…
When it comes time to think about

Before the trade that sent him to St. Louis, Mason McTavish was making headlines in Montreal.
There was a lot of talk about the possibility of the Habs picking him up from Anaheim because things weren't going well for him with the Ducks… and, above all, because he had an appealing profile for a team like the Canadiens.
But now…
But now, McTavish is no longer available. And that's a shame in a way… because the young center has been on fire since his debut with the Blues.

Arber Xhekaj isn’t a perfect defender.
He has his strengths… and he also has his weaknesses. But you know what?
The Sheriff hasn't been playing bad hockey since the start of the season. Again, it's not perfect… but it's far from disastrous either.
What's helping him?
Arber has a better understanding of the game and is able to control himself better on the ice. We saw it in Washington on Wednesday night: he got into a bit of a scuffle with Tom Wilson, but he stayed within the

Let’s check in with Damson Idris, who is in Paris filming Miles & Juliette, in which Idris stars as legendary jazz musician Miles Davis. That is a really great piece of casting. Idris is on set with Romanian-born French actress Anamaria Vartolomei, who stars as French actress and singer Juliette Gréco. The film is written by actress and writer Zora Howard and is directed by Bill Pohlad (who is also an actor and whose best-known film as a director is 2014’s Brian Wilson bio

You can’t say the Blue Jackets are off to a good start this season.
That would simply be untrue.
The Columbus team has a 2-3-0 record after five games, and that's not good enough in the eyes of head coach Rick Bowness. And he took the opportunity (again) today to say he's fed up with his team…
The Jackets have allowed 21 goals in just five games, which ranks them 30th in the NHL in goals allowed per game since the start of the season. And that's exactly what's not sitting well with

Jason Statham releases a steady diet of B-grade action flicks, but every once in a while, he stars in a movie that’s a cut above his usual fare (see also: Wrath of Man). A couple years ago, one such film emerged, The Beekeeper, which is just the right combination of bonkers premise and stellar action, becoming an instant fun-action movie fave. Now, a sequel is on its way, aptly titled The Beekeeper 2.The Stath is back as Clay, and honestly, I did not remember the character’s name. He

When Patrice Bergeron talks about Nick Suzuki, he clearly doesn't have much negative to say about the Montreal Canadiens' captain.
The former Boston Bruins player once again heaped praise on the Habs' No. 14… highlighting his defensive progress and the fact that he pays close attention to the little details, which can make all the difference in the NHL.
And this is certainly not the first time Bergeron has been so effusive in his praise of Suzuki…
This time, Bergeron—during a

The Milwaukee Brewers have a record of 22 wins and just four losses since September 7. And for the first time in 44 years, they're heading to the World Series after crushing and sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the American League Championship Series.
The Dodgers led in all four games—a total of six times in the series—but the Brewers came back from behind each time to win, with the most spectacular comeback coming last night (Thursday).
The Brewers pulled off this feat despite hi

Does Davis Alexander deserve the Canadian Football League (CFL) Most Valuable Player award?As the regular season draws to a close, the Montreal Alouettes' quarterback boasts impressive statistics that significantly bolster his case.

Céline Dion’s will perform the final two shows on this leg of her Paris residency tonight and tomorrow. Officially it’ll be 16 shows but unofficially it’s so much more than that.

Imagine you walk into a mirrored room, and every mirror shows you a completely accurate reflection of yourself, so accurate that, in fact, you begin to doubt which one of you is the real you. Is it enough to feel your physical body in space or is every reflection just as much you as you, endless replica of a self lost to itself. This is the nature of You Can See Everything, the documentary about disgraced Theranos CEO and convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes made by filmmakers Lance Oppenheim an

The goalie controversy just won't go away in the news.
This morning, Martin St-Louis didn't want to add fuel to the fire. When asked about his goalie for tomorrow's game, he refused to commit publicly.
He even said that his decision hadn't been made yet.All signs point to Jacob Fowler. Does St-Louis want to start the American? Probably. But he likely doesn't want to mess with Jakub Dobes's head either.
It's not a simple situation, but I expect to see the most deserving player take the ice.

There's no doubt about it: the New York Yankees' front office loves its captain, Aaron Judge. That doesn't mean, however, that it agrees with everything Judge thinks and says in public. And the relationship between the two sides in the Bronx may not be as smooth as it once was.
In fact, it appears that Judge has upset some Yankees executives with his comments following the team's sweep in the American League Division Series by the Tampa Bay Rays, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.http

The Montreal Alouettes will use their trip to Saskatchewan as an opportunity to rest several key players, while maintaining their high standards.

As you may know, Juraj Slafkovsky was absent from today’s practice.
Oliver Kapanen, on the other hand, was there. After a few days of skating on his own (following a stretch where we never knew if he was going to skate or not), that was a good sign.
He was the only injured player on the ice.
Naturally, considering all that and keeping in mind that David Reinbacher was also recalled 48 hours ago, we were eager to see the lines and pairs in practice.

With the exception of his three-run homer in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers, things didn't go as planned for Shohei Ohtani in the playoffs. 
The Japanese star posted a .162 batting average during this postseason, with one home run—his first since August 18 at Coors Field—and just three RBIs.
Still, after the Los Angeles Dodgers were eliminated last night (Thursday), Ohtani made it clear that he expects to pitch in 2027.“Yes,

The rumor going around right now is that Kent Hughes is looking into all the star players who might be available throughout the National Hockey League.
Are you surprised? No, of course not: he's in a position where he has to do this. He can't rule out any scenario if he's going to fulfill his mandate to improve the team.
That doesn't mean he's willing to do whatever it takes to land every player, of course. But a phone call doesn't commit him to anything.

Dear Gossips,Earlier this month it was announced that Matt Reeves had to step away from production on The Batman: Part II due to a family matter. No details about that have come out, and I haven’t gone looking for them. It’s obviously something major, and Reeves and his family deserve their privacy. But it did leave Part II in an awkward spot, with production temporarily paused. Now, however, a solution has emerged, as Steven Soderbergh will “step in” to “complete t
