Josh Anderson Named Assistant Captain

It’s done.
Even before the golf tournament began, the Canadiens announced that Josh Anderson had been officially named assistant to captain Nick Suzuki.
Mike Matheson will also retain his “A.”Josh Anderson will now serve as an alternate captain to Nick Suzuki, alongside Mike Matheson

There are pictures over the weekend of Emma Stone and Chris Pine shooting The Catch, an upcoming feature directed by her husband, Dave McCary. It’s due out next May and has been shooting all summer, with an all-star cast including Ashley Padilla, clearly beloved by literally everyone, Tim Robbins, and Sissy Spacek.Now, I fundamentally hate that I included the clause ‘her husband’ in the above paragraph. In theory, this is a movie starring Emma Stone, directed by Dave McCary, an

Bad news.
The Canadiens will have to do without Kaiden Guhle for the start of the season, according to what Renaud Lavoie (TVA Sports) was able to confirm this morning.

As usual, the New York Yankees will be ones to watch during the upcoming offseason, as they may look to add another power hitter to their lineup, especially given the uncertainty surrounding Giancarlo Stanton's future in the Bronx.
And according to Buster Olney of ESPN, the idea that the Yankees would acquire Rafael Devers from the San Francisco Giants makes a lot of sense—especially since he was previously acquired from the Boston Red Sox and could already be back on the trade market.Rafa

Let's just say the Habs' goals have been getting more and more ambitious over the past few seasons. What should we expect for the season that kicks off in two weeks? According to the captain himself, the guys—and possibly management as well—are aiming to finish first or second in the Atlantic Division.

Chase Infiniti follows her breakout performance in One Battle After Another with a starring role in The Julia Set, which is basically Good Will Hunting for girls. Infiniti stars as Julia, a brilliant math student at a fake college dubbed GCU. Her mother (Carmen Ejogo) is obsessed with Julia transferring to MIT, though why she should do that is vague. It seems to be only because Julia’s mom has never heard of another school. Also, her mom doesn’t understand her math genius but still h

Yesterday afternoon, Zachary Bolduc (finally) signed a new contract with the Canadiens. The Quebec native, who had no contract in place for the upcoming season, ultimately signed a four-year deal.
He will earn an average annual salary of $4.2 million over the next four seasons and will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the contract—which would not have been the case had he signed for three years or less.
We know that it took quite a while to resolve the situation. It's safe t

Jesse Eisenberg rose to fame playing awkward nerds, and now as a filmmaker he is giving a specific kind of nerd their due: theater nerds. His third feature film as a writer-director is The Debut, a comedy that borders on farce, set in the world of community theater. Eisenberg writes and directs and appears—and sings—in a small role, but the stars of the show are Julianne Moore and Paul Giamatti, who have two of the best roles of their careers courtesy of Eisenberg’s pen and aff

Adam Nicholas is quite a character.
If you're lucky enough to go to Brossard to watch a Canadiens practice, you'll understand why I say that.
He helps the guys with his intensity, and above all, he sends the right message on the ice. Over the years, he's become a very important part of the organization's coaching staff because he does a damn good job. 
This morning, Juraj Slafkovsky was actually asked about Adam Nicholas's progress. And Slaf, goofy as he can be, came up with a pretty&hellip

As we know by now, Chris Kreider signed with the Canadiens in part because Martin St-Louis is the team's head coach.
The two have an excellent relationship, which dates back to the years when Martin St. Louis finished his playing career with the New York Rangers.
Kreider, then just a young player, was in town at the time. He learned a great deal from St-Louis—in fact, St-Louis is the teammate from whom he learned the most during his playing career.Chris Kreider says he never learned more f

At some point on Friday or Saturday, during the chaos of TIFF and running from interview to interview and prepping in between, I saw an article pop up on my feed about Céline Dion, ahead of her first show in Paris…something something about how she would require a backing track or some kind of vocal assistance during the concert. And the volcanic fury that erupted from my body startled the person I was standing next to. How f-cking dare you? This is insulting on multiple levels. Fir

It’s a little weird to see Chris Kreider wearing a Canadiens cap and polo shirt… isn’t it?
I wonder what Carey was thinking when he saw all that this morning. Hehe!
Seriously though (and we know Price doesn't hold a grudge against the Habs' new No. 22), Kreider is part of the Montreal organization, and we have to accept that. He spoke to the team's reporters for the first time this morning and mentioned, among other things, that his gesture toward Price wasn't intentional at t

Things aren’t going well for Gerrit Cole these days. After giving up a home run to the first three batters of the game against the San Diego Padres last week, the starter got shelled like crazy on Saturday against the New York Mets.
In fact, the Mets have hit him more than any other team in his 296 career starts tracked by Statcast.
Mets hitters smashed no fewer than fourteen of his pitches at 95 mph or faster. Until this month, Cole had never allowed more than eleven hard-hit balls in a s

Chris Kreider is now a member of the Montreal Canadiens. And this morning, on the sidelines of the golf tournament, he spoke to the Montreal media for the first time.
And of course, he was quite the popular guy… for many reasons.
Kreider, who was pretty funny during his press conference, mentioned in particular that he's happy to be here. He's impressed by how close-knit the team is, and he knows (all too well) that the fans are passionate. In fact, he's expecting that kind of reaction wh

Chris Kreider has always worn #20 in the NHL.
The Canadiens already have their #20 (Juraj Slafkovsky), and just because Kreider is going to help Slaf doesn't mean that's going to change.
The American will therefore wear #22 (which isn't a dig at Carey Price).Alert: New number for Chris KreiderNew number alert for Chris Kreider! #GoHabsGo pic.twitter.com/408HBu8YIB

Dear Gossips,It’s been another incredibly busy weekend at TIFF, and I’m delighted to say I was able to be out in it this year for the first time in a long time. As exciting as it is to have the festival in our city, the irony is that lots of film & TV professionals who are working during the festival don’t actually get to see or experience much of it at all.But over the weekend I managed to hit a few events, where I met up with, or ran into, people I’ve worked with an

All summer long, we expected the Canadiens to trade Samuel Montembeault. The Quebec native was sidelined last season, and many expected his time in town to be over.
Except that as of today, Monty is… still in town.
That means the Habs currently still have three goalies. And barring a major turnaround, all three will be there when camp starts.
Kent Hughes, during this morning's golf tournament, confirmed that this is what we should expect. However, the GM emphasized that he wouldn't be com

Chris Kreider is a member of the Canadiens. And in a little while, he'll be speaking to the media.
But before that, Jeff Gorton spoke with the press. He answered a few questions about the Canadiens' newest addition.
Makes sense, right?
What's worth noting is that the Canadiens' president announced that the new Canadiens player—who wanted to choose his next destination—called the Canadiens.
Not the other way around!Gorton says Kreider called the Habs, not the other way around #GoHabsG

It's golf tournament day at the Canadiens, which means members of the organization are speaking to the media today. And, of course, the Chris Kreider situation is causing quite a stir.
The forward, who has been booed at the Bell Centre for the past 12 years, has arrived in town—a clear sign that many fans still hold his collision with Carey Price against him.
On that note, it's worth noting that Geoff Molson, who was the first to speak to the media, is happy to see Kreider arrive. He descr

Did Kent Hughes’ summer kick off on Saturday afternoon or what?
After signing Chris Kreider and Zachary Bolduc over the weekend, the Canadiens named Josh Anderson as assistant captain this morning.
They also announced this morning that they've extended Martin St-Louis's contract.
One of the major issues still to be resolved is that of Arber Xhekaj, the last unsigned player in the Montreal Canadiens organization heading into next season.
What's the latest?
According to Pierre LeBrun, the de

That’s that.

So, how was your weekend?
Kent Hughes, for his part, undoubtedly had a great one. The signings of Chris Kreider and Zachary Bolduc have put the team's GM in a better position than he was in 48 hours ago.
With just a few minutes to go before he steps in front of the cameras at the Canadiens' golf tournament, let's just say that's a good thing. He needed at least one win, as we mentioned last week. It's the #Habs

Patrick Mahomes seems more ready than ever to make his return to the NFL.
After several months of rehabilitation, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback has provided a particularly encouraging glimpse of his physical condition as the season opener approaches.
Patrick Mahomes' injury had cut his 2025 season short. The star player suffered tears to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) in his left knee during a game against the Los Angeles Chargers on December 14.

When Chris Kreider cleared waivers unclaimed on Thursday, it was easy to believe that no team wanted to take on his contract.
As it turned out, that was far from the case.
According to Pierre LeBrun at The Athletic, four or five teams were genuinely interested in claiming Kreider off waivers before his contract with the Ducks was terminated. NEW for @TheAthletic

The NHL Network continued its reveal of the Top 50 best NHL players tonight.

The big news of the weekend, aside from Zachary Bolduc's signing, is Chris Kreider's arrival in Montreal.
The player who has long been the arch-nemesis of many fans will be wearing the blue-white-red jersey next season.
However, putting old grudges aside, many fans and journalists agree that the Habs are a better team with Kreider, whom Kent Hughes signed to a one-year deal at a more than reasonable price.
On the other hand, some aren't convinced by the signing of the American player.
Among them

The Washington Commanders have confirmed a decision that is drawing attention ahead of their first game of the 2026 season.
Wide receivers Treylon Burks and Luke McCaffrey will not be in uniform Sunday afternoon against the Philadelphia Eagles.
