Dylan Larkin has had enough: his agent says he did everything right

Dylan Larkin has had enough. And his agent has just confirmed this publicly.
Pat Brisson, who represents the forward, released a statement regarding his client's decision to stop playing pending a trade.
That's saying something. 
It's still pretty unusual to see an agent publicly weigh in on the matter like this.
Normally, this kind of situation is handled between the player, his agent, and team management. But in Larkin's case, Pat Brisson has decided to speak out in defense of his client… a

Two Matt Damon fashion posts in one week? Never would have imagined it. But we’ll come back to the fashion thing in a minute, let’s talk about the interview – Matt is one of GQ’s men of the year and his cover story was released today that includes what is, I think, a new revelation about his wife, Luciana, who had brain surgery right before the Oscars a couple of years ago when Matt was part of the Oppenheim team. They still ended up going to the Oscars though after she recovered because

TMZ is reporting that Blake Lively’s Betty Booze is winding down, which is not a surprise. Its non-alcoholic brand Betty Buzz hasn’t posted on Instagram since April. Then there’s Blake Brown Beauty, which is posting very generic content without Blake. A celebrity brand can’t really flourish without the celebrity being able to promote it.
Ryan Reynolds owns a marketing company so there’s no doubt that there are brand discussions happening – do you just wipe the slate clean, or try to

The Nikita Kucherov situation is currently paralyzing the NHL.
Obviously, everyone has an opinion on the matter. There are those who don't want anything to do with bringing him to town, and there are those who want to do everything they can to attract him to Montreal.
There doesn't seem to be a middle ground.
Right now, the word on the street is that there's a good chance Kucherov will finish the season in Tampa Bay. At the very least, it will be a long time before we see a trade.

On December 1, a work stoppage will begin. I could say “unless a miracle happens” to sugarcoat it, but there won't be a miracle.
Because the reality is, we know that MLB and the Players' Association never negotiate in good faith. They just go through the motions until it really matters.
The NHL, which signed its new collective bargaining agreement a year in advance, has an approach that's more… beneficial for everyone.
With four weeks to go before the deadline, MLB and the players haven't

When I watch the Canadiens and CF Montréal, I often get the impression that, in the minds of their executives, they're operating in the military, nuclear, espionage, or pharmaceutical industries—that's how opaque they are about information that's actually quite basic.
It's been 12 days already since rumors of a sale and/or relocation have been swirling around CF Montréal, and no one in the organization has bothered to deny or explain them. By failing to control the narrative, the Montreal cl

Chris Rock recently reflected on the collapse of his nearly 20-year marriage to Malaak Compton-Rock, the mother of his two daughters. Chris was named one of GQ’s 2026 Men of the Year with the release of his new movie Misty Green, which he wrote, directed, and stars in alongside Rosalind Eleazar, Anna Kendrick, Daniel Kaluuya, Adam Driver and Topher Grace. During his interview he reflected on some of his failures as a husband, as well as what it would take for him to return to the Oscars after

We know that Jakub Dobes will be in net for the Canadiens tonight.
But now Martin St-Louis has announced some big news regarding the lineup: captain Nick Suzuki will be able to return to action tonight. He didn't take any extra time at practice this morning, which was a clue.
He had told the media he wasn't sure if he'd be able to play tonight, but the coach confirmed it. Well, well.Nick Suzuki will be in uniform tonight against Utah

Tonight, the Mammoth will be at the Bell Centre.
And according to Renaud Lavoie, Jakub Dobes will indeed be the starting goaltender for the game, which takes place at 7 p.m. tonight.
That's what we're gathering from practice.Jakub Dobes vs. @utahmammoth @CanadiensMTL @TVASports

Mark Teixeira played for fourteen seasons in Major League Baseball, having begun his career with the Texas Rangers. The switch-hitter then played for the Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Angels before joining the New York Yankees in December 2008.
In fact, he spent most of his career in the Bronx, signing an eight-year, $180 million contract and winning the World Series in 2009.
The first baseman finished his career with 1,862 hits, 409 home runs, and 1,298 RBIs, in addition to winning five Go

Dear Gossips,Big news in fashion this morning – a new Costume Institute Exhibit and corresponding Met Gala theme has been announced. You’ll recall, the exhibit and the Met Gala next year was supposed to feature the work of John Galliano, and they confirmed it early, hoping to get ahead of any backlash. It was a strategy that ultimately backfired and the plans were scrapped just a month later. At the time, they had no plan B in place which is why it’s taken this long for them to conceive of

A few days ago, The Fourth Period reported that defenseman Simon Edvinsson was linked to the Canadiens. It wasn't clear to what extent, though.
But now David Pagnotta has added to the story.
In a podcast with Jeff Marek (in the episode that also features an interview with Dan Milstein), Pagnotta highlighted the Canadiens' interest in the defenseman. He said there was quite a bit of interest from Montreal.https://t.co/n7ACTyaVnv

The Cleveland Browns may be forced to rethink their plans at the quarterback position ahead of their matchup against the New Orleans Saints, scheduled for Sunday, November 8.Shedeur Sanders finds himself in a particularly interesting position, as Deshaun Watson is currently required to follow the NFL's concussion protocol.
Watson's status remains uncertain following a hard hit from an opponent during the last game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Although he was cleared to return to the field af

The Canadiens keep saying they have no updates to share regarding Ivan Demidov.
But while they're keeping Demidov under wraps (which may have been the case again yesterday), people close to the player aren't afraid to reveal information on the subject.
Whether it's filming him skating or his agent speaking out to reveal the nature of his client's injury, the Canadiens can't control everything.
The result? Instead of just thinking that the Habs made a strange decision by having him play despite a

The Angels may never change. And that's true even if the team gets a new owner.
Why do I say that? Because the Angels refuse to take advantage of one of the most intense months in the world of baseball.
With the lockout set to begin on December 1, teams will be making plenty of deals in November. But the Angels? They couldn't care less.
I say this because they haven't even held a single interview yet to replace John Mozeliak, whose term as interim GM won't be renewed in 2027.

The giant neon sign for the Aristocratic restaurant was a landmark for generations of Vancouverites.Adorning the corner of Broadway and Granville streets from 1960 to 1997, it was a beloved relic from Vancouver’s neon age, when the city boasted 19,000 neon signs. It featured a vibrant mix of red-and-blue neon, had four different typestyles and a plastic bit with an illustration of Risty, a dapper man with a top hat and monocle that served as the restaurant’s mascot.Alas, the lot was sold, t

Four games were played last night in the NHL.
The Canadiens weren’t in action; they’ll face the Mammoth tonight at the Bell Centre.
Let’s take a look at what happened yesterday across the league.The @LAKings became the 15th team to feature a player with a hat trick in 2026-27. Only three other seasons in the past 25 years have seen as many at this stage (250 GP): 2023-24 (17), 2021-22 (15), and 2010-11 (15).

Philadelphia Eagles fans have received some encouraging news about Jalen Hurts.The star quarterback returned to the team's facility for the first time since being diagnosed with multiple blood clots in his lungs. His visit was a welcome sight for his teammates, even though his return to the field remains out of the question for now.
Placed on the injured reserve list on October 17, Hurts had not seen his teammates since that announcement. His presence at the practice facility allowed him to part

A veteran known for his physical play is leaving the NFL. Cornerback Arthur Maulet has decided to retire after nine seasons, according to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network.
At 33, Maulet is ending a career that took him all over the league. He began with the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts, before playing for the New York Jets, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Baltimore Ravens. He finished his career with the Detroit Lions.
A specialist in zone coverage, Maulet wasn't the most high-

Micah Parsons is getting closer to returning to action. The Green Bay Packers defensive player resumed practice on Wednesday for the first time since suffering a serious knee injury in December 2025.
His participation was limited to individual drills. The Packers have opened his 21-day return window—an important milestone, but one that doesn't mean he's ready to resume his usual role in games just yet.
Wednesday's medical report indicates that Parsons participated on a limited basis. He remain

Beckett Sennecke had an excellent night yesterday, racking up four points against the Vancouver Canucks in a 5-4 victory.
This brought his total to 16 points, placing him third on his team's scoring leaderboard.
On the ice, everything seemed to be going great. Let's just say, however, that his Wednesday probably didn't go quite as he'd hoped.
Sennecke decided to post an Instagram Story that was quickly deleted. And you'll soon see why.
He posted a photo of himself lying in bed, with macarons arr

The Canadiens—and especially their power play—could really use Ivan Demidov right now. His absence is being felt, and his return to the lineup is long overdue.
We saw him on the ice yesterday, but the Habs haven't provided any updates on his status. He has officially exceeded the original timeline.
Unfortunately for the team, Demidov's agent, Dan Milstein, has opened up about the true nature of his client's injury.
On the DFO Podcast, he revealed that the Habs' No. 93 had suffered a broken a

What’s the latest news on Dylan Larkin?
It’s simple: the guy still doesn’t want to change his list of teams he’d like to be traded to.
But that’s not because no one wants him… and that’s what makes this story interesting. 
We know the Canadiens are ready to make a big offer if the player ever decides to include the Montreal team on his list. And we know the Canadiens aren't giving up either.
But…
But Larkin—who also has the Lightning on his list (an Atlantic Division team)—i

When the Brewers won the World Series, Pat Murphy was seen publicly trashing the New York Yankees.
Why? Because… because.
Jake Bauers, a former Yankee, saw his manager tell him that the Yankees are a crappy team and that they don't play as a team.
He did it on the field, in front of everyone. And that's why the cameras were able to catch what he said.“You're gonna be a rich motherfucker. Just remember when you're on that horse-shit Yankees team and you guys are all playing for yourselves, ju

Brady Tkachuk's return to Ottawa caused quite a stir.
As we all remember, Sens fans were waiting for him with open arms—and humiliated him in their own way by shouting insults throughout the game.
That said… his brother Matthew doesn't really intend to let certain details slide without responding.
Basically, the Sens reported a sellout crowd (17,010 fans) for that game. It was a special night for the team's former captain, who was reuniting with Ottawa fans under unique circumstances. And it
