Dramatic Win for the Brewers Against the Padres

Late in the afternoon, the Milwaukee Brewers and the San Diego Padres faced off in Game 2 of their division series.
The Brewers were looking to take a 2-0 lead in the series, while the Padres were trying to even the series.
Except that neither team played high-quality baseball—especially on defense. No fewer than five errors (including three by Milwaukee) were committed.
Even the umpire behind home plate (eleven challenges, with the players being right nine times) didn't have an easy time

Right now, the Brewers are in full control of the National League Championship Series. They lead 2-0.
At first glance, it's clear they're in a league of their own right now. They're dominating the games and are never really in danger.
The offense is clicking. The starters are getting the job done. The bullpen is incredible.
Of course, that doesn't mean the Dodgers won't be able to make a comeback in the series.
If there's one team you shouldn't underestimate, it's L.A.

The Ottawa Senators made a big decision when they traded Brady Tkachuk this summer.
They parted ways with their captain because he clearly wasn't as committed as he used to be, and now Brady is struggling in Florida.
He has just one assist in six games since the start of the season. And meanwhile…
Meanwhile, in Ottawa, everything is going great. The Senators have won five of their first six games of the season (5-1-0 record), there's great energy around the team, and the fans are happy&he

Jacob Tierney may not be as famous as Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie but even beyond the Heated Rivalry fandom, he is known for his work, for adapting Rachel Reid’s book into a smash television hit. While most of the attention to do with HR is around Hudson and Connor, Jacob’s in the spotlight right now because he’s just released his own book, I’ll Believe in Anything: The Making of Heated Rivalry season one. It’s the collection of annotated scripts, so that inc

The Canadiens have a record of two wins, two losses, and one overtime loss since the start of the season (2-2-1).
Let's be clear: that's not exactly a disaster.
But it could be better, too, and that's a fact. There are areas to improve in the Habs' overall play, and if they aren't able to fix them, the season could be a long one…
I was looking at the team's stats, and there are three things in particular that worry me.
1. The Canadiens need to find a way to improve their five-on-five play

Things aren’t going well in Philly.
The Flyers still haven't won a game this season and have a record of 0-5-2 after seven games.
As a reminder, the team made the playoffs last season, and everyone expected them to build on that momentum. But that's not the case right now.
Yesterday, Matvei Michkov deleted everything related to the Flyers from his Instagram.
But Michkov (on social media) isn't the Flyers' only problem right now. According to reports from Anthony Di Marco circulating on var

Dylan Larkin… and the Montreal Canadiens.
We've seen those words appear together in the same sentence quite often over the past few days. The topic is generating a lot of buzz, and it's entertaining on many levels.
Even though Jeff Petry's wife could hurt the Habs' chances of landing the former Red Wings captain in Detroit… Here's a clue as to why Dylan Larkin's wife isn't keen on the idea of moving to Quebec → https://t.co/aE6m0EY8f2

Yesterday, the Brewers beat the Dodgers. And even though starting pitcher Logan Henderson wasn’t perfect, his bullpen came to his rescue.
In fact, the guys pitched five perfect innings out of the bullpen. That's never been done by a bullpen in the playoffs.The Brewers' bullpen threw 5 perfect innings

The New England Patriots' crushing 45-17 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday came at a cost. The team will be without two key offensive players for some time: left guard Will Campbell and running back TreVeyon Henderson.
Campbell has suffered a sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his right knee and is expected to miss a few games. This injury brings back bad memories. Last November, he tore the same ligament in the same knee—a Grade 3 injury. For now, however, the new inju

Yesterday morning, Mike Matheson was absent from the Canadiens' practice.
When a player misses practice, it sometimes means he just needs a little rest. But sometimes, there might be something more serious going on.
And that might be the case with the Canadiens' Quebec-born defenseman.
Matheson won't play tonight and is listed as day-to-day by the club. But according to our colleague Maxime Truman (who's been on fire lately with updates on players' health), the Matheson situation needs to be tak

In 2026, the Houston Astros became the worst team in MLB history to make the playoffs, with a record of 81 wins and 81 losses. Sure, injuries threw a wrench in the works, but the fact remains that things weren't looking good in Houston this season.
In fact, under manager Joe Espada, the Astros have made the playoffs in two of the last three seasons but haven't won a single playoff game.
It's therefore expected that this will be his swan song. Especially since the Seattle Mariners intend to inter

In the NFL, a kicker can lose his job with a single kick. Harrison Mevis learned this the hard way. In the wake of a heartbreaking loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Los Angeles Rams decided to part ways with the 24-year-old field goal kicker.
Head coach Sean McVay clearly ran out of patience. The 37-34 overtime loss was the last straw. With victory within reach, Mevis attempted a 48-yard field goal that Gregory Rousseau blocked. The kicker had already missed a 50-yard attempt earlier in the game.

Clearly, the chants from Habs fans didn't convince Dylan Larkin and his entourage to agree to a trade to Montreal. Larkin and his wife still have the city of Montreal on the athlete's no-trade list.
Will that change? Renaud Lavoie and Elliotte Friedman refuse to close the door entirely, but let's just say the chances remain slim.
Why is Dylan Larkin—who trained with Cole Caufield over the summer and was practically traded to the Habs last August—categorically refusing to join a Canad

I like this thing that studios are doing just as production begins on a film – sharing footage from the screen test process as the actors begin to find their characters and their performances through their wardrobes. It helps to build anticipation for the project but also they often time it just ahead of when the cast is expected to shoot exteriors, so that the first images of the actors in costume isn’t from the paparazzi.Production is now underway on Miami Vice ’85, directed

At the start of the season, the Canadiens had eight healthy defensemen vying for a spot on the team. Lane Hutson, Mike Matheson, Noah Dobson, Alexandre Carrier, Arber Xhekaj, Jayden Struble, and Adam Engstrom made the cut.
David Reinbacher, on the other hand, was sent back down.
The Canadiens also had Kaiden Guhle on the roster, but he was injured. There was a chance he would return quickly, which is ultimately what happened.
But now, with Jayden Struble gone and Mike Matheson day-to-day, the Ca

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against the Brewers last night (Monday) in Milwaukee and now trail 2-0 as the series moves to Dodger Stadium for Game 3 tomorrow (Wednesday).
And for this pivotal matchup, a key player on the California team may be absent from the field—at least early in the game.
In fact, Shohei Ohtani's slump is severe enough that the Dodgers are considering benching him for Game 3 of the series, according to manager Dave Robe

After today's practice, Martin St-Louis spoke with the media.
First, he announced that Mike Matheson (lower-body injury) won't play tonight. Owen Beck will take his place in the lineup, and the team will go with 12 forwards and six defensemen.
Otherwise, Jacob Fowler will be in net.Jacob Fowler will be the starting goaltender against the Sabres.

The Montreal Alouettes' coaches are considering resting their starters, but Tyson Philpot has no intention of watching the last two games of the season from the bench. The wide receiver has made it clear: he plans to be in uniform next week, the week after, and in the playoffs, because no one on this team gives up.
His motivation is understandable. After Monday's victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Philpot leads the CFL with 124 receptions, 1,809 yards, and 13 touchdowns. He is now just 1

As long as the Canadiens don't give us any details about Oliver Kapanen, the situation will continue to be strange and keep people talking.
That's to be expected. After all, sometimes he's at practice… and sometimes he's not. It depends on how he's feeling that day.
We don't know exactly when he'll be back to full health. But we do know that the Canadiens felt the need to recall Owen Beck to serve as the 12th forward.Beck is here this morning.

Dear Gossips,In addition to the unfunny, lazy, and offensively bad jokes that the audience had to endure on Saturday Night Live this weekend, delivered by a host who Lorne Michaels obstinately insists on inviting back (because he’s the ultimate instigating troll), one of the other downsides is that the host controversy overshadows the performance of the musical guest.
