That said, there are still some details to be determined for the game in question. The starting p

Shane Wright's future in Seattle seems far from certain. The center and the Kraken may be looking to part ways, and the question is where he might end up.
And even though he would fill a need in Montreal, that destination seems rather unlikely given what has happened between Wright and the Habs in recent years.
That said, we may have gotten a clue tonight: according to Postmedia, Wright reportedly has a preferred destination in mind where he'd like to continue his career.
And we're talking about

The 2025-26 season wasn’t particularly easy for Matvei Michkov. The young Russian scored 20 goals and 51 points… but that was a lower total than in his rookie year.
And in the playoffs, he was even benched by the Flyers.
And over the past few months, there's been a lot of talk about his physical condition. Rick Tocchet took some of the blame off him, stating that the player didn't arrive at training camp in shape.
That's why it's interesting to read, in an article by Kevin Kurz (The

Oh yeah! One of the highlights of the MLB season is taking place tonight. We're talking, of course, about the Home Run Derby, part of the All-Star Game celebrations being held in Philadelphia. 
For the occasion, eight hitters will do everything in their power to be the one to lift the trophy at the end of the competition.Tonight's Home Run Derby batting order:
1. Willson Contreras
2. Jordan Walker
3. Jac Caglianone

The Chan Centre for the Performing Arts has announced more bold-type names for its coming 2026-2027 season that already includes musicians Angélique Kidjo and Branford Marsalis, authors Zadie Smith and Min Jin Lee, and culture critic Fran Lebowitz.“These new additions continue to reflect the breadth of artistic experiences we strive to present at the Chan Centre ,” said Jarrett Martineau, the Chan’s head curator, in a statement released on Monday. “This season is

Timothée Chalamet was papped at breakfast in LA this weekend and I appreciate it because he was all over my timeline this weekend and now I have photos to go along with the story. Every month where Timmy and Kylie Jenner are concerned, they’re either getting married or they’ve broken up. This weekend the rumour circulating on social media had to do with pregnancy. A fake IG stories screenshot of her making the announcement was shared all over the place and, at least from what

Last month, the Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup. The team defeated the Golden Knights in six games, winning the series' final game in Vegas.
As a result, that very evening, the Canes celebrated in Vegas. They first celebrated on the ice at T-Mobile Arena (home of the Golden Knights) with their loved ones, then spent the evening at Caesars Palace for a private party.
It was a memorable moment for the organization's members… but also for two Islanders fans.

The Canadiens had a great 2025–26 season because their top players performed at their best.
Cole Caufield (51 goals), Nick Suzuki (101 points), Juraj Slafkovsky (73 points), and Lane Hutson (78 points) all had truly extraordinary seasons and helped the team win games.
These guys are expected to have the same impact on the team next season. 
But looking ahead to next season, I've singled out three players I'd like to see have a breakout year. And we'll start with… Zachary Bolduc

With just a few weeks to go before the start of NFL training camp, the Green Bay Packers have opted to ensure some continuity on defense.The organization has confirmed the contract extension for linebacker Isaiah McDuffie, a decision announced by General Manager Brian Gutekunst.
This agreement demonstrates the team's confidence in a player who has grown in importance over the seasons. Drafted in the sixth round in 2021 after his time at Boston College, McDuffie gradually carved out a role in the

Bogdan Konyushkov has signed his entry-level contract with the Montreal Canadiens.
Good news!
We know the defenseman will be back in Russia next season on loan. But we can expect to see him arrive in North America once his season is over, and that, too, is good news.
What can we expect from Bogdan?
In fact, we know he's a strong skater. We know he has a bit of an offensive touch to his game and that he's reliable in his own zone. We're talking about a guy who won't turn things around in Montreal

As the new NFL season approaches, Andy Reid continues to be a leading figure on the sidelines.
For the fourth consecutive year, the Kansas City Chiefs' head coach has been named the league's best coach in a poll of sports journalists.
Despite a difficult 2025 season for Kansas City—marked by a losing record and a major injury to quarterback Patrick Mahomes—Reid retains the confidence of many observers. His impressive track record, highlighted by three Super Bowl victories and hundred

No, the Canadiens haven’t managed to improve since the start of the summer.
We were expecting a major trade because Kent Hughes had mentioned that he wouldn't be afraid to overpay to add a talented player to his roster.
In the end, that didn't happen.
It must be said, however, that market prices didn't help. The value of certain players has skyrocketed in recent weeks, which likely left the Canadiens with their hands tied in some situations.
It's all well and good to overpay… but th

Not too long ago, it was clear that the Detroit Tigers needed to—and would—trade the biggest name on the trade market: two-time Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal.
But things are a little less clear right now, for two reasons.
First, the team's recent performance has put the Tigers just three and a half games out of the final playoff spot.
However, that's not the only reason Detroit might keep Skubal on the roster. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the left-hander has report

Do the kids still use this expression? If not, the teacher’s pet is the teacher’s favourite, a label assigned to one student by the other students who believe that the teacher’s pet can do no wrong in the teacher’s eyes. Back in my day, we’d talk derisively about a teacher’s pet – they were suckups, their hand-to-air movement was terrifyingly fast, teacher’s pets weren’t usually popular among the student body – but that was a long time

The chances of Kirby Dach leaving the Montreal Canadiens through arbitration are slim, but one interesting detail of the process is still worth noting.
According to information from PuckPedia (and as reported by Nicolas Cloutier), if the arbitrator were to award Dach an annual salary of $4.95 million or more, the Canadiens would have the right to reject that decision.
In such a scenario, the player would immediately become an unrestricted free agent, allowing the team to completely free itself f

It’s official: Daniel Jacob is the Rocket’s new head coach.
I hope no one falls off their chair. Pascal Vincent's assistant since 2024 (and Joël Bouchard's for a decade) has been the favorite for quite some time.
He knows the organization and the young players well.
But what's also notable is that the Canadiens have chosen to appoint a defensive specialist to lead the farm team. Jacob has been in charge of the defensemen and the penalty kill for the past two years.

New England Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye has reached a new milestone in his career.ESPN ranked him eighth on its annual list of the NFL's top quarterbacks, a ranking based on votes from league executives, coaches, and scouts.
This recognition confirms the excellent impression Maye made last season. At just 23 years old, he helped bring the Patriots back among the league's top contenders, leading the team back to the playoffs with consistent and spectacular performances.

Yesterday morning (Sunday), the New York Yankees announced that Cam Schlittler had withdrawn from the All-Star Game. According to manager Aaron Boone, it was a mutual decision to give the pitcher some rest as the team tries to cope with the absence of captain Aaron Judge.
The baseball world had expected Schlittler to be the American League's starting pitcher for the All-Star Game, so when Dylan Cease of the Toronto Blue Jays was officially named the starter, it was assumed that the Blue Jays pit

The Canadiens have several defensemen under long-term contracts.
Lane Hutson (2034), Noah Dobson (2033), Mike Matheson (2031), and Kaiden Guhle (2031) will be central to Martin St-Louis's game plan for many years to come.
Unless, of course, there's a trade involving Guhle, a major injury, or some other unexpected event.
Otherwise, Alexandre Carrier is here for another year. As long as he remains with the Canadiens and continues to perform at the level we've seen over the past year and a half, he

With NFL training camps approaching, ESPN has unveiled its highly anticipated annual ranking of the league's top quarterbacks.This ranking, based on votes from more than 70 NFL executives, coaches, and scouts, reflects the players' current performance rather than their entire careers.
For the first time in several years, Patrick Mahomes is no longer ranked first. Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills has taken the top spot after impressing the experts with his performances over the past two seasons. H

Alexander Zharovsky has one year remaining on his KHL contract.
The young player, who will spend much of his summer in Montreal in 2026, is expected to make a permanent move to Quebec in 2027. He is expected to join either the Montreal or Laval team at the end of the 2026–2027 season or in preparation for the 2027–2028 season.
Plans may change, but for now, that's how things are shaping up… unless he's traded in the meantime.

This break, which marks the unofficial end of the first half of the season, is an important time to reflect on what's to come.
Why? Because the trade deadline is approaching.
