Michelle Obama reflects on her empty nest

Former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama recently said the quiet part out loud as she reflected on being an empty-nester, now that daughters Malia, 28, and Sasha, 25, are out in the world, living on their own. During a taping of her IMO podcast, she revealed that while she loves the fact that her daughters are grown, she doesn’t actually “miss” them.The revelation was prompted by a question posed by Jon Stewart, the guest on this episode, but slipping back into his role of late-ni

As we know, the CH hasn't made many moves this summer. The club hasn't signed any NHL-caliber players… and its only real acquisition, in fact, came from behind the bench.
We're talking about Derek Lalonde, who joined the team as an assistant coach.
We know that in recent years, the Canadiens have relied on a relatively inexperienced coaching staff. But with expectations changing and the team improving, many wanted to see an experienced coach come in to assist Martin St-Louis… even

In recent years, the Canadiens have been rebuilding. The team hit rock bottom for a few years after reaching the finals in 2021, and that allowed them to draft some talented young players.
Juraj Slafkovský and Ivan Demidov, who are already key players for the club, were selected in the top five of the draft. And David Reinbacher, who is in a similar situation, could also establish himself as an important part of the club's future.
And so far, the club's project has been a success. The Hab

The start of the Canadiens' training camp is just around the corner, but while waiting for the action to begin, members of the media often take the opportunity to make predictions for the upcoming season.
That's exactly what the guys from BPM Sports' Club du Matin did on Tuesday.
Anthony Marcotte made the boldest prediction of the bunch, saying he believes Juraj Slafkovsky will be the Canadiens' leading goal-scorer in 2026–2027.Tony's bold prediction: 45 goals for Juraj Slafkovsky next yea

A few days ago, Arizona State University's Matthew Mayich collapsed during an outdoor practice with his team. He was in a coma for several days.
Mayich's attorney, Robert Carey, provided a grim update on the player's condition on Tuesday. According to him, Mayich has “no chance of recovery.”

Arber Xhekaj finds himself in a somewhat precarious situation.
He still hasn't signed his contract for next season, and the Canadiens' training camp is set to begin in just a few days.
How will this situation be resolved? 
Nicolas Cloutier published an article in which he discusses the fact that the team's blue line is crowded. The journalist explains it well: seeing that there are several defensemen ahead of him, Arber knows he might have a more limited role in the lineup.
His role has alr

A new chapter will finally begin in Anaheim.

Can you believe it’s been ten years since Céline Dion took over Paris Fashion Week with an assist from Law Roach and gave us one of the most delightful weeks in gossip history? I am not exaggerating.

All these guys have one thing in common: they are (most likely) about to start their first full season in the NHL.
This year's crop of rookies will be exciting to watch in the NHL in '26–'27. No doubt about it!
All the players named above seem to have, for now, a shot at winning the Calder Trophy. But we also have to mention Jacob Fowler, who could be th

So much of the history of pop music is centered around artists who sing in English, but we’re starting to see a shift. Just look at how Bad Bunny has had one of the most incredible few years in terms of commercial success. Something like that may have been considered a fluke in the late-90s but now, it’s becoming the norm. Enter, a Belgian pop artist who has been topping the charts in French-speaking countries for more than a decade. She had a crossover North American and British hit

I was chatting with my boyfriend recently, and we were wondering what Ivan Demidov's ceiling looks like.
Is he going to become one of the National Hockey League's biggest stars? Or are expectations for him a bit overblown?
In situations like this, it's always interesting to hear what other NHL players think. And if we're to believe Kristopher Letang…
The Penguins defenseman said during an appearance on a show where he opened hockey packages that he sees Demidov becoming a top-5 player in

People aren’t talking as much about Elly De La Cruz this season. But that doesn’t mean he’s terrible—quite the opposite.
In fact, his 4.0 WAR, 21 home runs, .270/.351/.477 slash line, 24 stolen bases, and 60 RBIs show that he's still a force to be reckoned with.
He may not be getting as much media attention, but the Reds really can't afford to do without his production. He still energizes the lineup.
And once he becomes more consistent defensively, it will help in many wa

Zachary Bolduc has little left to prove when it comes to his desire to stay in Montreal.
The young forward wants to wear the Canadiens' jersey and be part of the team's success in the city.
And if he had his way, his next contract certainly wouldn't last just a few years. But… there's also another condition to be met in all of this, according to Anthony Martineau (TVA Sports).
Bolduc wants to feel that there's a path for him in the team's offense, and that's probably what makes the curren

The New York Yankees have a comfortable nine-game lead when it comes to the standings for teams qualifying for the playoffs.
But that doesn't change the fact that the Bombers are desperately in need of offensive firepower.

September 1.
School has started, summer vacation is over, the days are getting shorter, and I've pulled out my pants for the evenings that are now without sunlight. Ugh!

Is Kaiden Guhle injured?
It's a fair question, since this morning in Brossard, my colleague Patrick Guillet observed a situation that was quite curious and unusual.
And even a bit concerning.
Here's what happened: the team's three starting goaltenders (Jakub Dobes, Samuel Montembeault, and Jacob Fowler) were on the ice at the CN Complex in Brossard.
On one side of Rink #1 were the three goalies… and on the other were six defensemen: Nosh Dobson, Mike Matheson, Alexandre Carrier, Lane Huts

Just last winter, the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker to a four-year, $240 million contract. This came about a month after they did the same with reliever Edwin Diaz, this time on a three-year, $69 million deal.
And to say the least, it hasn't paid off so far.
In fact, Tucker posted a .195 batting average and a .603 OPS in August—the worst month of his career. And this came after he changed his swing out of sheer desperation.
Because there's certainly a sense of desperation in the 2

Evander Kane has always been in the news for the wrong reasons.
Whether it's through his ex-wife or the teammates who shared a locker room with him, he's never been liked by most of the people around him.

The Canadiens are often in the news because of their salary structure. That's to be expected.
To get to this point, Marc Bergevin had to offer Nick Suzuki the right contract, and the new front office had to build on that momentum.
It took longer for Cole Caufield than for guys like Ivan Demidov and Juraj Slafkovsky, for example. But today, that doesn't really matter much anymore.
But the case that undoubtedly generated the most buzz was Lane Hutson's.
It quickly became clear that the situation w
