“It’s not impossible that Jacob Fowler could be used as a bargaining chip.”

As of today, Samuel Montembeault is still in Montreal. The goaltender, who has seen Jakub Dobes (and even Jacob Fowler) move ahead of him in the pecking order, was viewed by many as someone who might leave.
That could still happen, mind you… but now more than ever, we have to consider a scenario in which he remains with the organization to start the season.
This means that right now, there are questions in net. Jakub Dobes will likely be the team's No. 1 goalie, but the situation behind h

Aatos Koivu isn’t a name you hear mentioned all that often among the Montreal Canadiens’ prospects.
That's not entirely surprising, since he didn't put up big numbers in the Finnish professional league last year (nine points in 47 games).
Few people see him as a promising prospect for the Habs' future, even though it would be a great story to see Saku's son play for the Habs.
However, Grant McCagg has high hopes for him.
Without saying he'll become the long-awaited second-line center

The San Francisco Giants' 2026 season is one to forget. But that hasn't stopped Rafael Devers from putting together a stellar campaign in the Bay Area.
So much so that during the Giants' game against the New York Mets yesterday (Saturday), the 29-year-old earned a spot in an exclusive club in the history of the California franchise, joining two of the greatest players in Major League Baseball history.
Indeed, Devers hit two home runs in his team's 9-5 victory over the Mets, bringing his total to

Earlier this morning, I was talking about Russia and how it is trying by any means necessary to return to international hockey, despite the ongoing war with Ukraine.
International hockey without Russia's dominance just isn't the same, but still, one can understand the IIHF's refusal.
In fact, not only is this war severely undermining Russia's ambitions on the international stage, but it could now also harm all KHL teams.
In fact, at the start of the KHL season, league president Aleskey Morozov t

On Friday night, St. Louis Cardinals manager Oli Marmol was ejected from the game against the Colorado Rockies after stepping in to defend rookie pitcher Hancel Rincon.
The young right-hander was making his Major League debut, but it was umpire Doug Eddings who caught the attention of the baseball world by making a big deal out of the way Rincon was wearing his cap.
The umpire told him to adjust the angle of his cap, and that sparked the drama that led to Marmol's ejection. After the game, the m

Brendan Gallagher's departure from the Montreal Canadiens this summer marked the end of a very significant chapter in the team's leadership, as Gally was one of the team's leaders.
Unfortunately, Gally's body just wasn't up to the task anymore, which forced management to trade him to the Vancouver Canucks—where Gally grew up—for the final year of his $6.5 million-a-year contract.
It's sad, but it had to be done, as the situation had become difficult for everyone—and especially

Last season, the Montreal Victoire won its first LPHF championship in the third season of the new professional women's hockey league.
This is a great achievement for the city and for the female athletes, and it deserves to be celebrated in a big way.
In fact, the team's players have been celebrating their 2025–2026 Walter Cup victory since the beginning of the summer, as the trophy has made its way through several cities.
However, the celebrations took a completely different turn two weeks

With four hits yesterday against the Kansas City Royals, Kazuma Okamoto was the driving force behind his team's 4-3 victory.
With this fourth straight win, the Toronto Blue Jays are in the playoff picture this morning. In their last ten games, the Jays are 8-2, which is the best record in the Majors. Let's just say that if there was ever a time to be on a hot streak, this is the one to choose.THE BLUE JAYS ARE BACK ABOVE THE .500 MARK!!!pic.twitter.com/epHM98HEoF

International hockey always delivers top-notch action, especially when the world's best players—those from the National Hockey League—take part.
I don't know anyone who didn't love the 2016 World Cup of Hockey, the Four Nations Tournament, and the various editions of the Olympic Games.
Watching countries compete against each other is always special and unique.
However, for the past few years—specifically since 2022—something has been missing from international hockey that

Jason Maas has just made his mark on an important chapter in the history of the Montreal Alouettes. The head coach has earned his 43rd victory at the helm of the Montreal team, tying a record held by a true club legend: Marv Levy.
This achievement is particularly significant for Maas, who has been at the helm of the Alouettes for several seasons. With this 43rd win, he now ties Levy for the most wins by a head coach in franchise history.
Marv Levy remains a pivotal figure in the history of footb

Laval University's Rouge et Or got off to a strong start to the season in terms of results, but certainly not in terms of entertainment. In front of a crowd of 17,130 at PEPS, the Quebec City team shut out the Concordia Stingers 14-0 in a game where both offenses struggled immensely.
This victory nonetheless marks the Rouge et Or's first home shutout since 2019—an interesting statistic for Glen Constantin's squad, even though the head coach was far from ready to claim victory too soon.

We know we're repeating ourselves, but the CH hasn't had as eventful a summer as expected.
And since Monday, the media hasn't stopped talking about it.
Félix Séguin clarified one point: the other teams are standing firm against the Habs in negotiations. That's what he told Mario Langlois last night on 98.5 Sports.
It's definitely not going to be easy for Kent Hughes to improve his team. But Séguin and Langlois believe that the long-awaited improvement might come from within

Yesterday, a major development was announced regarding the return of an NHL franchise to Atlanta.
The development group The Gathering at South Forsyth reportedly secured funding for a commercial, residential, and recreational complex in the city of Forsyth, but Krause Sports & Entertainment issued a statement today to set the record straight.
According to the group, the information reported in the media was incomplete and premature.

Jasson Domínguez takes his place.
Prior to today's game, the Yankees made the following roster moves:
• Placed OF Trent Grisham on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain.
• Recalled OF Jasson Domínguez (#24) from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Zachary Bolduc currently still does not have a contract for the upcoming season. And with the team's golf tournament set to take place in less than 10 days, time is running out to reach an agreement.
The golf tournament isn't a deadline in and of itself… but we agree that, for everyone's sake, it would be best to have this matter settled by then.
But in reality, one can't help but wonder what's holding up the negotiations. Whether it's money, the contract length, or some other factor, the

The Blue Jays' five-pitcher rotation lasted two innings. It's better than nothing, obviously, but…
Last night, during a Blue Jays victory, Jameson Taillon got injured. An elbow injury is to blame for his exit from yesterday's game.
We all expected him to be placed on the injured list, and that's exactly what happened. The team announced it on social media.
Ricky Tiedemann is therefore back in the majors after recently (yesterday) being sent down to Triple-A.ROSTER MOVES: LHP Ricky Tiedema

For the first time since the 2012-13 season, the Canadiens are preparing to start a season without Brendan Gallagher. Earlier this summer, the veteran was traded to the Vancouver Canucks.
He was traded for future considerations, as the Canadiens wanted above all to accommodate him, given his many years of loyal service.
That said, we hadn't heard much from Gallagher himself since he requested a trade at the end of the season. He spent most of the playoffs in the press box, and we were wondering

Last winter, Bo Bichette left Toronto. Having played only for the Blue Jays since the start of his career, he finally decided to continue his career with the Mets.
On top of that, he made the transition to playing third base in the Big Apple. That was pretty unexpected.
Bichette ended up having a terrible start to the season, although things are slowly starting to turn around. He's still having a pretty mediocre year, but it's less disastrous than it once was.
However, it's worth noting that at

NHL 27, the latest installment in the annual series developed by EA Sports, will officially be released next Friday. But in reality, the game has been available since yesterday for those who pre-ordered the premium edition.
As a result, screenshots have been surfacing since yesterday… and not all of them are positive.
The player faces, for example, are causing quite a stir. EA Sports is increasingly trying to scan players to integrate their faces directly into the game.
Except that the re

The Canadian Football League (CFL) is entering a new digital era. The league and its nine teams have just launched a brand-new ecosystem of websites designed to offer Canadian football fans a much more personalized, interactive, and immersive experience.
The CFL's new platforms, along with those of the nine teams, are now live, with several additional features set to roll out over the coming weeks.
This significant digital transformation stems from a major investment by the CFL Board of Governor

Now that we've covered our top 15 most promising CH prospects, it would be good to revisit some summer topics that we've put on the back burner.
Here are three questions that still deserve some thought and answers before the next season kicks off! There are plenty of others, but hey, we have to keep it short…
So let's start with two quick appetizers before tackling THE big question as the main course!
1. Who will replace Brendan Gallagher as assistant captain?
The answer to this question

The Montreal Alouettes' victory over the British Columbia Lions left its mark. And it would be surprising if Davis Alexander and Quebec native Mathieu Betts had felt like sharing a meal after such an intense evening.
Even though nearly 5,000 kilometers separate Montreal from Vancouver, an increasingly fierce rivalry seems to be taking root between the two teams. The first game of this series ended Friday with a 37-30 victory for the Alouettes, but the second game will take place next Saturday in

Today marks the start of the KHL season, with several games on the schedule.
And of course, in Montreal, we're keeping a close eye on the Russian league. The Habs have several promising prospects playing there… even though Gleb Pugachyov, their most recent first-round pick, will start the season in the MHL instead.
That doesn't change the fact, however, that there are players to watch. And of course, Alexander Zharovsky is probably at the top of that list.
Zharovsky and Salavat Yulaev kic

Let’s take a look at the standings in the Nationale.
Four teams already have more than 80 wins and, barring a major collapse, should make the playoffs.
As for the Phillies, they're almost as close to winning their division as they are to missing the playoffs. They still have a little wiggle room.
Further down the standings, teams like the Marlins and the Cardinals shouldn't be written off too quickly… but they'll have to play at their absolute best to achieve their goals.

The future running back for the Tennessee Volunteers continues to make headlines. On Friday night, David Gabriel Georges once again showcased the full extent of his talent, this time in the Baylor School's 51-33 victory over Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School in Georgia.
Ranked 13th in USA TODAY Sports' national Super 25, Baylor remains undefeated after three games this season. For their first road game of 2026, however, the Red Raiders had to contend with a Rabun Gap-Nacoochee team that managed to keep

Earlier this morning, I mentioned Gleb Pugachyov's situation—he had to sit out and watch his team play its first four games of the season without him, while also watching a fourth-round prospect from the same draft score his first career goal.
It's a shame for the Montreal Canadiens prospect, as he clearly would have liked to prove himself early in the season to show Montreal fans what he's capable of.
In the end, Pugachyov will have to wait before playing his first minutes of the season i

The San Diego Padres aren't firing on all cylinders these days, but yesterday, against the New York Yankees, Craig Stammen's men came through when it counted.
It was the team's catcher, Luis Campusano, who turned off the stadium lights with a thunderous two-run home run in the bottom of the tenth against Yankees reliever Paul Blackburn.
The Yankees were leading 2-1 at the time and were slowly but surely heading toward another victory in 2026. However, the Padres weren't done yet, and the outcome

The go-to source for news, rumors, and scoops in the National Hockey League and in hockey in general is, of course, Elliotte Friedman.
The renowned 55-year-old reporter is clearly the most credible and reliable source in the entire hockey world, no matter the topic—whether it's a trade, a signing, a contract extension, or even just rumors.
People want to know what Friedman has to say, and when he speaks, it resonates throughout the NHL.
It's no surprise, then, that Friedman is in high dema

For the third consecutive year, the Montreal Canadiens have set their sights on a Russian forward for their first pick in the National Hockey League draft.
Ivan Demidov (5th) in 2024, Alexander Zharovsky (34th) in 2025, and finally Gleb Pugachyov (26th) in 2026—this past summer.
Of course, now that Demidov is an integral part of the Habs and Zharovsky has had an excellent rookie season in the KHL, the player being watched most closely—and who must prove himself—is Pugachyov.
