Chris Kreider can speak Russian

Chris Kreider is a man of many talents.
He knows how to score goals, he's great at deflecting shots on the ice… but it doesn't stop there.
The American also has a trick up his sleeve: he knows how to speak Russian. He said on the radio that he's not super fluent and that it's not always clear, but oh well.
Kreider took advantage of his appearance yesterday on TSN 690 to say a few words in Russian.
And indirectly, it's easy to draw parallels with Ivan Demidov: this might help Kreider get t

What’s happening in Brossard?
There's a practice this morning. All the players at camp are on the ice at the same time since the players from both groups are each using one rink.
An intra-squad game is coming up shortly.
First of all, it's worth noting that, just like yesterday, Ivan Demidov isn't here because he's undergoing treatment. The Russian had a full day of treatment yesterday, and we know he's not 100%.
The Habs are being cautious, and no one is expressing concern. We'll continue

When New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced that Aaron Judge had suffered a moderate calf strain, it seemed clear that he would miss at least the Wild Card Series—and likely much more playing time.
However, the Bombers' captain told Jorge Castillo of ESPN that he plans to be ready for next week's series against the Boston Red Sox.Yankees star Aaron Judge told @jorgecastillo today that he intends to play in the Wild Card Series next week. Here's the news from Jorge, available for fr

As we approach October and the trophy machine clicks into high gear, I don’t think there is a film I am more excited for than You Can See Everything, the Elizabeth Holmes documentary made by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim.
We saw the first trailer last month, and now there is a new trailer, and…well… it looks like a horror movie, no?Maybe it’s the music, maybe it’s just that Elizabeth Holmes using her big baby eyes to manipulate people is both freaky and annoy

Dear Gossips,It was announced yesterday that a new Gremlins movie, Gremlins 3, has been pushed back to October 2028, almost a year later than the original release date which was supposed to be November 2027.

Sad news in the world of sports.
Andrei Kuzmenko, a player for the Pittsburgh Penguins, has lost his father, Alexander. Alexander died this week after being attacked by a bear.
He was taken to the hospital, where doctors were unable to save him.
Basically, he had gone fishing with friends, and that's when a bear attacked the group. The 62-year-old man was airlifted to the hospital in Kyzyl.
Several media outlets in Russia have confirmed the news.Tragic news. A bear attacked the father of Penguin

On Wednesday afternoon, the Blue Jays were eliminated from the playoff race. The team had a disappointing season.
Naturally, this raises the question: Is this the end for Max Scherzer?
We know he's likely to make one last start on Sunday in front of the Toronto Blue Jays' fans—even if it's on short rest.
That would allow him to have a fitting farewell start in front of his fans.
We imagine he'll be looking, in particular, to surpass Justin Verlander (who will throw a few pitches on Saturda

Did you see what Vladimir Guerrero Jr. said yesterday?
For those who didn't, the Blue Jays star (who is in the first season of a 14-year, $500 million contract) said that his contract was signed based on his past achievements and not to hit 40 home runs every year.
It happened during an interview in Spanish, but Vladdy confirmed to the media covering the Blue Jays that he truly meant what he said.He has no right to take fans for fools. https://t.co/qq8Ik3d1hb https://t.co/KkLGKwSYai

The Las Vegas Raiders are off to a particularly strong start to the 2026 season, and much of their success is due to their defensive performance.
After two games, the Las Vegas team has a 2-0 record, and its opponents are already beginning to feel the pressure from its defensive line. (Yahoo Sports

Notably, the Raiders have recorded eight quarterback sacks in their first two games, tying them for first in the NFL in that category. Five of those sacks came in the season opener against th

The Atlanta Falcons haven’t had the start to the season they were hoping for, and Michael Penix Jr.’s return comes at just the right time.
The quarterback will make his first start of the season on Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers, after missing the first two games of the campaign.
Atlanta is 0-2 and is struggling mightily on offense. Through two games, the Falcons are the only team in the NFL that has yet to run a play inside the opponent's 20-yard line. The team has sco

Brady Tkachuk has had time to arrive in Florida, take part in promotional events, and even play his first game with his new team, but people are still talking about his departure from Ottawa.
Yesterday, the Senators' owner spoke quite candidly about his former captain. He stated that “blood is thicker than water” when referring to No. 7's departure.
The frustration even seems to have spread to the players, who also wanted Tkachuk traded as soon as possible.
This statement opened a ve

Adam Fantilli hasn’t signed a contract yet.
Naturally, the Columbus Blue Jackets have to start getting worried. After all, a young player missing training camp is never a good sign.
It could have repercussions for months…
Except that the good news is that Don Waddell (widely regarded as the GM with the most control over his team in modern history) and Pat Brisson are nearing an agreement.
Note: I didn't say it was imminent, but rather that they're getting close.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had the worst season of his career in 2026. That's one of the reasons why his team won't be playing in October.
And now, the Blue Jays' star player has made some… surprising comments.
He wants people to understand that his $500 million contract was signed for what he's done, not for what he'll do.
Needless to say, this sparked a reaction.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. opens up on his slump year: “They didn't pay me to hit 40 every year. They paid me for what I already

Ouch.
Let's just say Mark Messier didn't exactly choose his words carefully when asked about Mike Babcock's hiring in Edmonton.
The former Oilers captain was very clear when asked for his opinion on his former team's decision…
Messier didn't just say he didn't like the decision: his main concern is what might happen if things go south between Babcock and the Oilers' players.
That statement speaks for itself:“I'm simply horrified by this whole situation, to be honest with you.”

Harry Kane has no plans to retire from soccer right away, but the English forward is already thinking about what he might do when his career eventually comes to an end.
Among the possibilities that interest him, a move to the NFL is becoming increasingly appealing.
Harry Kane, who currently plays for Bayern Munich, once again spoke about his interest in American football on Wednesday. In particular, he wants to explore the possibility of becoming a kicker in the NFL after his soccer career ends.

What will the Canadiens do with their goalies between now and next week?
Good question.
We know the team doesn't want to start the season with three goalies. But who between Samuel Montembeault and Jacob Fowler will get the ax? That, too, is (another) good question…
Fowler is having a solid camp, but so is Monty… who seems to have found his groove again.
And it's no coincidence that we saw Martin St-Louis sing the Quebec native's praises after today's practice. The Canadiens' coach

In my post yesterday about Taylor Swift’s announcement that a new single called “Patient Zero” is incoming, I wondered whether or not the track would be “a bonus single from whatever new new deluxe deluxe version of a previous album she might be issuing”. Deluxes and variants are so confusing to me. In August of last year, Variety reported that at the time there were “11 different CD editions and eight different vinyl editions released of” The Life of a

Machine Gun Kelly walked the runway at Vogue World and Dakota Johnson is also in Milan for the event. A source told PEOPLE just last week that they are seeing each other, it’s early and they are “smitten”.

Kirby Dach had a job to do. Just one.
He had to show up at the Canadiens' training camp and prove that he was ready to take things seriously. He should have been one of those guys who takes it on the chin at camp because he has something to prove.
That didn't happen. 
Instead, we're seeing the Kirby Dach we know: the one who drags his skates across the ice and the one who disappoints. It's always the same story with Kirby, and clearly, it's not about to change…

Obviously I didn’t know Dolly Parton. But I don’t think anyone had to have known or even met her to understand that what’s playing out in public is not what she would have wanted. And it’s such a dramatic departure from how things were handled in the immediate aftermath of her death.
As noted at the time, it seemed so well managed – nobody else broke the story that she had passed, the news came from her own social media accounts, communicated effectively in a video
