Chris Kreider has already asked the Canadiens to trade for him

So what? Would you like to see Chris Kreider come to town?
Because ever since yesterday, the topic has been all the rage. And that's no surprise: the guy wants to come back to the East and play for a good team following his split with the Ducks.
And he's still capable of holding his own.

When his contract is (inevitably) bought out this afternoon, he'll be free to sign wherever he wants. And the Canadiens' name just won't go away in this story.
Even though Kreider is American

In the 1960s, Bob Masse would get $10 or $15 to do a poster for a rock gig.But over time, his intricate art nouveau-like designs became internationally renowned and treasured collectibles of the psychedelic era.The Grateful Dead liked his 1967 poster of their Vancouver shows so much the band hung it up in their office.

On this Friday night, there were two games for Montreal Canadiens fans to watch: the season opener for the Laval Rocket and Michael Hage in Michigan.
For the University of Michigan Wolverines, it was a walk in the park as they faced off against the Bowling Green Falcons.
Michael Hage's team added some big names this summer, including Landon DuPont and J.P. Hurlbert.
Michigan won 7-2, and Hage stood out with two goals and an assist, in addition to recording six shots on goal.
Here's his first goa

It took a while for Canadiens fans to put the Kreider-Price incident behind them.
When you see what he can bring to the team, it helps calm things down.
However, it's never easy for a newcomer to adjust to a new environment, a new system of play, and new teammates.
Some will get off to a great start in their new colors, others will adapt more quickly, but generally, it takes some time to adjust.
That's why Martin St-Louis is spending a lot of time with #22, as reported by Renaud Lavoie on TVA Sp

Dylan Larkin was certainly one of the most polarizing figures in the hockey world this summer.
The former captain of the Detroit Red Wings, as you well know, requested a trade.
And as you might expect, his reception at the Wings' first home game wasn't exactly warm.
Imagine if Nick Suzuki asked for a trade… All the fans would go crazy.
In Detroit, fans decided to boo #71 at the top of their lungs during his pregame introduction before the game against the Rangers.Dylan Larkin got BOO'D du

In 2019, the Baltimore Orioles selected Adley Rutschman with the first overall pick in the amateur draft. And in 2022, he made his Major League debut.
For a few years, his progress was incredible. He got the Orioles back on track—not all by himself, but…
Then, starting in 2024, he began to slow down. The Orioles ran out of steam, and the catcher wasn't as good as he used to be.
This wasn't a coincidence.
Then, finally, Baltimore decided to trade him away, and the Red Sox paid a heft

Josh Anderson is an important player for the Montreal Canadiens.
When you hear Jeff Gorton say that the organization will never trade him… that's a good indication of just how much the veteran is appreciated in Montreal.
And rightly so, by the way. The guy gives it his all for the team on the ice, and we love players who have that kind of drive here in town.
But the Canadiens will have an important decision to make… and they'll have to make it fairly soon.
Because the reality is, A

Alexander Zharovsky and his team, Salavat Yulaev Ufa, were in action today.
And the Canadiens prospect stood out in the game.
Let's take a look at what happened in his game.
What you need to know is that the Russian finished the game with a solid two-point performance. Notably, he scored his team's first goal of the game to tie the score (1-1):Alexander Zharovsky (2) #SAL

The New England Patriots will have to make do without one of their key defensive players in their matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
 
Christian Gonzalez has been officially ruled out of Sunday's game due to a shoulder injury.
Christian Gonzalez's absence represents a significant change for Mike Vrabel's team. The cornerback did not participate in any of the Patriots' three practices this week, and his absence had begun to raise questions about his availability for Week 4.

Ouch. Things are starting to look a little dicey in Winnipeg!
With just a few hours to go before the Jets' season opener, photos of Connor Hellebuyck are being taken down at the Canada Life Centre.The star goaltender's face is quietly disappearing from the arena's walls, and let's just say that sends a pretty clear message. 
We know the situation: the 33-year-old goaltender asked to be traded from the Jets after spending his entire career in Winnipeg.
His request was made public in late Aug

Now that we’re in October, we’re getting into the thick of awards season. Monday night is the world premiere of Artificial, Luca Guadagnino’s film about Sam Altman and OpenAI.
Thanks to billionaire f-ckery bouncing the film from its original distributor, Jeff Bezos’s Amazon MGM, Artificial is now being released by NEON. Everyone is going to be watching this one extra closely, to determine if it’s even worth all the fuss in the first place. Guadagnino’s last fi

Sonny Gray’s teammates are upset
They didn’t like the lack of respect shown during Game 2. They feel Gray was pulled too early.

On Tuesday, in the Leafs’ season opener, Sergei Bobrovsky made quite a splash.
In fact… he was making headlines even before the game started.
He took the ice before Gavin McKenna for warm-ups… and that caught everyone's attention because he stole the spotlight from the young player, who was supposed to make his rookie debut. The goaltender reflected on the events today.
Bobrovsky addressed the media, saying that… it was an accident.
He mentioned that he had completely

 April X, a vaguely dystopian, vaguely cyberpunk sci-fi thriller is the kind of first-time film no one really remembers…unless someone involved happens to hit the Hollywood lottery. In this case, it’s star Connor Storrie, who filmed April X months before landing the role of Ilya Rozanov in Heated Rivalry, the role that would change his life. April X, then, gets shepherded in on Heated Rivalry’s coattails, in the age-old tradition of distributors scraping together whatever

Jed York, owner of the San Francisco 49ers, has been suspended for six games by the NFL for violating the league's personal conduct policy.He will also have to pay a $500,000 fine.
This penalty follows an incident in Ohio. Arrested in that state, Jed York ultimately pleaded “no contest” on August 24 to two misdemeanor charges. His arrest was linked to suspicions regarding the use of prostitution.
The NFL took into account the first three games of the 2026 season, during which York ha

Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor’s new book argues that some of the people with the greatest power to prevent ecological and social breakdown appear instead to be prepping for it and profiting from it.End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World, out now, describes “end-times fascism” as an ideology that makes the world less livable while offering a select few escape routes.

The Canadiens have the foundation of a championship team.
We can all agree that there are still some pieces missing. They need a little more help on defense, some grit, and a reliable third-line center.
They're also lacking experience, particularly when it comes to locking down the defensive end.
But overall, we can agree that the Canadiens—who have good young players and an excellent salary structure—are on the right track to winning.
When will that happen? Who knows.
But it's inter

A best-of-three series goes by fast. As proof, in the blink of an eye, we're already in the Division Series, and that should mean some excellent baseball.

To recap – back in June, the Recording Academy announced several new categories, among them the Best Asian Pop Music Performance Grammy, controversial from the jump. Critics of the new category, including me, felt that the creation of the new Asian category would be a way for the Recording Academy to give out Grammys to popular Asian acts and use their fan bases to attract viewership and interest without having to consider them in the main categories, like Album, Record, and Song of the Ye

Tony Romo will no longer provide commentary on NFL games for CBS Sports.The American network announced Friday that it was ending its partnership with the former quarterback, bringing to a close a collaboration that lasted nearly a decade.
CBS Sports and Tony Romo have mutually agreed to part ways. In a statement, the network thanked the former player for his contributions over the past nine years and wished him the best in his future career.
This decision comes a few months after a highly public

The $7.2 million-a-year contract offered to Tristan Luneau has sparked a reaction.
From 2027 to 2033, the young player will earn a substantial amount of money, an offer based on his potential. After all, he has only 14 games of major league experience.
He had a hard time believing he'd earned such a contract, as Marco D'Amico (RG) reported. But they believe in him in Anaheim, and his strong training camp performance confirmed it.
Naturally, this reflects the new NHL, where young players are paid

The Philadelphia Phillies are seeing their window of opportunity close faster than expected. Their loss to the Braves is confirming just that.

There is simply no way to discuss “Digger” without spoilers. Buckle the f-ck up.No one will ever accuse filmmaker Alejandro Iñárritu of humility. No one will ever accuse Movie Star Tom Cruise of subtlety. No one will ever accuse their first collaboration, Digger, of cowardice.
Digger is a huge swing, a bold work and a bold performance with an astoundingly gutsy finale that is sure to piss off at least 50% of people who see it. This is not Tom Cruise of the last twenty y

The regular season has been underway for two weeks in the QMJHL. Only one team remains undefeated: the Moncton Wildcats (4-0-0).
The Sherbrooke Phoenix (4-0-1) and the Val-d'Or Foreurs (3-0-1) remain undefeated in regulation. However, they have each lost one game in overtime.
Last night, the Phoenix hosted the Océanic in Sherbrooke. The home team edged out the Rimouski squad 5–4.
Why am I talking about the Q this morning? Because there was an interesting spectator in the stands at t

In a playoff format that makes no sense, the New York Yankees now have to face the best team in the entire American League—the Tampa Bay Rays—even though they finished in second place. And this comes after they faced the Boston Red Sox, the third-best team.
That said, we're likely in for quite a baseball spectacle in this matchup.

The mound has certainly been the Rays' strength this season, particularly due to their low walk rate, which has earned them a team ERA of 3.72
