  • Vikings’ first pick gets a call from Wayne Gretzky after being drafted

    It’s rare that we talk to you about football here, but this story deserves a lot of attention. Thursday night was the first round of the NFL draft, and several quarterbacks were selected. The Minnesota Vikings drafted J.J. McCarthy with the 10th overall pick.
    During an interview later in the evening, McCarthy seemed to be disturbed. He was getting a call on his phone, except it wasn’t from just anyone.Getting a call from @WayneGretzky?@jjmccarthy09 is going to fit right in here in M
  • The Senators have Craig Berube in their sights

    The Senators’ season fell short of expectations. They fired their head coach, D.J. Smith, in December and temporarily replaced him with Jacques Martin. The strategy didn’t change much in Ottawa, and the team finished 26th overall in the NHL standings.
    Ottawa must therefore find a new head coach this summer, and it seems that one candidate is already on the radar. Elliotte Friedman revealed on his 32 Thoughts podcast on Friday that the Senators are in discussions with Craig Berube.El
  • Vancouver rallies: mayor wants to avoid 2011 riots

    Since the start of the playoffs, thousands of Maple Leafs fans have been gathering to watch their favorite team play outdoors. So far, so good, and there don’t seem to have been any outbursts.
    In Vancouver, no rallies have yet been organized by the city for the first two playoff games. The team was starting off with two home games, which may explain the absence of a rally.
    The problem is, there still isn’t one on Friday night, when the Canucks play in Nashville. Vancouver Mayor Ken

  • A Coyotes player says it’s “like they’re back in the NHL”.

    Right now, the Coyotes players and staff are in a period of adjustment.
    They arrived in Salt Lake City earlier this week, and can finally think about the next step.
    The players seem excited about what’s to come, by the way.
    Having been so well received by the new fans in Salt Lake City, it certainly helps morale.
    It must have been difficult for the players to play in a 5,000-seat amphitheatre that was never full…

    Kent Hughes and the Habs management team are gearing up for the upcoming draft.
    They’re currently at the World Under-18 Championship, spotting the best talent for the 2024 draft…
    And that’s important, because the Habs will still have a chance to get a good draft pick this year.

    WC: Jeff Petry joins the Americans’ (big) roster
    Since leaving the Habs, Jeff Petry hasn’t been the good defenseman he was in Montreal.
    He’s slowing down considerably, and it’s showing in his stats.This season, in a Red Wings uniform, Petry collected three goals and 24 points in 73 games… A performance that leaves something to be desired when you consider that he has a predominantly offensive style.
    He’s nearing the end of his career, with one year remaining on his current contract.

    The situation surrounding William Nylander is strange.
    Why is it strange?
    Because he’s been able to play in all 82 of his team’s games this season… But we’ve yet to see him in any of the three games of the Leafs vs Bruins series, as he’s absent.
    Obviously, he’s a big part of the Toronto team, and that’s why everyone’s trying to find out what’s bothering him.

    Mike Matheson is frustrated with the way he is perceived by some fans
    Mike Matheson scored 62 points for the Canadiens this season. It’s a season worthy of the Canadiens’ greatest defensemen of the past few decades, let’s face it.
    He’s not a perfect defender, and defensively, it’s not easy. But the positives he brings to the table far outweigh the negatives.
    On this subject, Arpon Basu (The Athletic) has written a piece in which he mentions that the main player is aware of the fans’ criticism of him and that it’s getting

    Two years ago (2021-2022), the Canadiens recalled just about everyone they could for the holiday season. Remember when COVID-19 hit Dominique Ducharme’s club?
    Even Cam Hillis, who played for the Lions, got his chance.
    The only forward to be overlooked was Jean-Sébastien Dea. The Quebec forward had a great season in Laval, but even so, he never got his chance at the NHL level that year. And he didn’t understand why, either.What was in it for them to just give me a little look,

    At the next camp, the Habs will have a lot of center players fighting for a spot.

    To this, we’ll have to add the prospects who will grow (Owen Beck’s name, among many others, comes to mind) or the off-season additions. Sean Monahan, maybe… or maybe not?

  • To avoid becoming the Islanders, the Canadiens must rebuild properly

    For about a week now, the NHL playoffs have been underway in the NHL. And while the hockey has been good, it hasn’t been the tightest series in history.
    It is in the West (for the most part, at least)… but in the East?
    Three teams have yet to taste victory and, if all goes wrong, may never win in the 2024 playoffs. And the Maple Leafs may have one win, but…

    Jesperi Kotkaniemi never became the player we thought he would.

    But KK left for Carolina in 2021, and he’s still being talked about for all the wrong reasons because of his performance.
    When you look at his offensive performance since joining the Hurricanes, you realize that he hasn’t improved.

  • Mike Matheson would be worth a pick between 6th and 15th (according to David Ettedgui)

    Mike Matheson’s value is high.
    The reason is simple: he’s in his prime, he just finished 9th in scoring among defensemen this season…
    And he earns a salary of $4.875 million a year, making him a bargain for a number-one defenseman on a National League team.
    Still, the idea of trading him to maximize his value has been discussed often enough, and opinions are divided.

    “It’s no secret that the Habs want to add a scorer.”
    The Habs have too many defensemen in their player bank. Eventually, at least one of them will have to be traded, as you know.
    We suspect that the plan has always been to recreate the Alexander Romanov for Kirby Dach trade (it was done in two trades… but we understand each other), but for the past two years, it hasn’t happened.
    But to join Dach, the top line and the club’s other forwards with top-6 potential, it would have to happen soon. Especially since, if nothing happens,
