Samuel Montembeault has become a dad

Samuel Montembeault's future in Montreal remains unclear. In the meantime, the goaltender continues to train in Brossard and had a wonderful moment last week.
He became a dad for the first time. His partner, Daryanne, announced the news on her Instagram account on Wednesday. Little Margot is doing well. We wish the whole family all the best.The Montembeaults have been parents to little Margot since last week https://t.co/mGMWBpP8c3

It's no surprise that the Phillies and the Blue Jays keep being linked.

I mentioned last week all the press that Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon have been doing to promote Spider-Man: Brand New Day – and that one of those interviews was with Epik High, aka Tablo, Mithra, and Tukutz. The full video just dropped today…and it’s hilarious. In the style of Epikase, which is their variety show because in Korea they do it all – music, hosting, variety, podcasts, variety, etc etc etc.These are first class musicians but also entertainers away

This is very exciting for those of us, and it’s not just a few, who can’t wait for Practical Magic 2. Not that we need September to be here any sooner than it needs to be, but the release of the movie in September, just after Labour Day, might make it that much easier to ease out of summer and into the fall.As noted earlier this week, Joey King has confirmed that Practical Magic 2 promotion has started, and Nicole Kidman is also in New York, just seen last night at the Lioness season

The Canadiens were able to achieve so much success last season in part thanks to the brilliance of Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Juraj Slafkovsky.
The three players, who play on the same line (Slaf played a bit with Ivan Demidov on the second line, but anyway), had their best seasons ever in the National Hockey League.
101 points for the captain, 51 goals (and 88 points) for Caufield, 30 goals and 73 points for Slaf… it's hard to ask for more!
So what can we expect from these three play

The Tarik Skubal situation is moving at breakneck speed.
Yesterday's loss—in which Skubal watched his teammates squander the lead he had helped build—has likely sealed the deal.
Now, more and more teams are calling.
The pitcher, even though he wants to finish the season with the Tigers (as he's often said), isn't fooled: the Tigers can't win the World Series in 2026. Plus, he knows the Tigers won't be able to meet his financial demands down the road.
He's going to hit the jackpot thi

Dylan Larkin really seems to have become public enemy No. 1 in Detroit.
He asked his team to trade him, and let's just say that hasn't gone over well with the team's fans.
The guy still got insulted because he looked crazy on TV… and the comments directed at him weren't very, very kind.Some comments go too far → https://t.co/B2zc9rahdC

Here we are—the trade deadline is just around the corner! Major League Baseball teams must now decide whether their rosters allow them to be buyers or if it's better to look toward the future.

There were parts of the internet that were obsessed last week with photos of Rami Malek and his twin brother Sami walking around London. It’s the twin thing. People have always been fascinated by twins, especially identical twins. Duana, for example, has an unofficial PhD in twins, like she could probably write an academic paper. Anyway, that’s why Rami was viral last week. And he’s still walking around London with Sami this week.In other news he’ll likely be heading to T

Yesterday, we learned that Samuel Montembeault has become a dad.
His wife announced the news via an Instagram post, saying she was happy to celebrate her new baby's first week.
Congratulations, Monty! 
It's worth noting that the goaltender wasted no time getting back to practice—he was on the ice at the CN Complex in Brossard earlier this morning.
And he didn't look too rusty either.Will he start next season in Montreal? #gohabsgo pic.twitter.com/bhR8FLmBJW

There was a joke going around social media after Comic-Con last weekend about Avengers: Doomsday and how big the cast is but also the OG Avengers who are coming back, like Chris Evans and Hemsworth at Steve Rogers and Thor respectively. Many jokes, actually. One of them being that at this rate, they’d revive Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, and Scarlett Johansson would show up by surprise – despite denying over and over again that she’s in it. Doomsday is the first Avengers m

The Montreal Alouettes finally posted their first defensive performance of the season in which they held the opposition to under 20 points, and head coach Jason Maas was particularly pleased with the display.
Following a convincing 31–18 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, the Montreal team now hopes to turn this strong performance into a new habit.

Lioness season three premieres next week on Paramount. This is a Taylor Sheridan show, and Taylor Sheridan is big business. And Paramount’s television business is basically Taylor Sheridan, so it’s not surprising that there are now three seasons of this series even though I’m not sure it’s left that much of a cultural footprint. Maybe it’s just my algorithm but there’s not that much hype around this show, despite the two major stars who are attached to it, bot

It's a tradition: every player who wins the Stanley Cup is usually allowed to keep it for 24 hours.
On Saturday, Sebastian Aho took it all over the place—including to a rap concert—in Finland.
Two days later, on Monday, it was Jesperi Kotkaniemi's turn to spend the day with the Cup. The former high first-round pick of the Canadiens took it to Pori, specifically to the Enersense Arena, home of Assat Pori. Kotkaniemi came up through the Assat system and made his professional debut ther

If there's one Major League Baseball team that's in a clear position heading into the trade deadline, it's the New York Mets, who are set to be aggressive sellers on the market.
In fact, more than five trades involving the Mets are expected in the coming days. And one of them could involve Francisco Lindor.
In fact, Bob Nightengale of USA Today provided a revealing update on the Queens-based team's stance regarding a potential trade involving their shortstop.They're going to move everyone. They'

Nick Suzuki just had the best season of his career, racking up 101 points (in 82 games).
The Canadiens' captain has established himself as one of the NHL's best players, while also being utilized in every situation by Martin St-Louis.
That said, reaching the 100-point mark doesn't make him a perfect player. Because even the league's biggest stars always have some aspect of their game to refine…
That's exactly what Pierre McGuire pointed out on the Sick Podcast. In his view, Suzuki can sti

Taysom Hill will not be wearing the New Orleans Saints uniform for a 10th season. The 35-year-old confirmed Wednesday evening that he will not be returning to the team that helped him become one of the most unique athletes in recent NFL history.
In a statement posted on social media, Hill explained that he had taken a step back to reflect on his future. However, he has not officially announced his retirement, leaving open the possibility of continuing his career with another NFL team.“I st

Dear Gossips,I can’t be alone in this – like still not over Zendaya’s makeup in London last night for the final Spider-Man: Brand New Day red carpet.

Kirill Marchenko is the hottest name in Montreal right now. I wonder why…
He's not a perfect player—he wasn't the Blue Jackets' best player when the team was trying to make a push for the playoffs in recent months.
That's something to keep in mind, though.
Despite his flaws, Kirill Marchenko would fit into what the Canadiens are trying to build. But we mustn't forget that he's not a center.
And that's one aspect that gives Pierre McGuire pause.

Tarik Skubal’s case is fascinating.
With just a few days left until the trade deadline, his name is on everyone's lips. We actually talked about it last night on the Passion MLB podcast.

Last spring, the Canadiens were ready to sign Michael Hage to an NHL contract.
Because he wasn't in top physical shape (he finished his NCAA season sidelined by an injury), he wasn't able to play in the playoffs with the Habs—or even the Rocket.
That caused quite a stir, of course. And it's still the talk of the town…
His injury allowed him to take his time deciding in the spring of 2026. And instead of signing for nothing, he chose to wait to evaluate his options for the 2026&ndash

The Montreal Alouettes could receive some great news ahead of their matchup against the Ottawa Rouge et Noir on Friday night.
Linebacker Kabion Ento appears to be on track to return to action after missing time due to a hamstring injury.
The No. 48 player had missed the Alouettes' last four games after being placed on the one-game injured reserve list.
However, Ento returned to his usual position during the team's only practice of the week, held Wednesday at Hébert Stadium in Saint-L&eacu

We're slowly approaching the beginning of August, which means the golf tournament is coming up, as well as the start of the Habs' training camp.
Will Kent Hughes pull a rabbit out of his hat by then? Maybe. But until then, we can assume that the Habs will head into camp without any further acquisitions.
Assuming Arber Xhekaj signs a new contract worth $2.5 million for next season, the Habs could end up with the most expensive defense in the NHL in terms of payroll.According to figures from @Puck

Kirill Marchenko has been at the center of quite a few rumors. There's been a lot of talk in recent weeks that he doesn't intend to sign a long-term contract with the Blue Jackets… and that he could eventually be traded.
Will it be a short-term deal? Not necessarily… but it's not impossible either.
It's worth noting, however, that Marchenko will be in the final year of his contract in 2026–27. He'll therefore become a restricted free agent on July 1… and it makes you w

This morning, Macklin Celebrini signed a five-year contract extension. The contract, which won't take effect until 2027–28, will pay him $18.8 million per year.
As of today, that will make him the league's highest-paid player in a year… though he could be surpassed by then.
Obviously, it makes sense that the Sharks weren't afraid to pay him, given just how special a talent he is. That said, the amount was somewhat surprising, considering that the forward seemed open to leaving money

Arber Xhekaj still doesn't have a contract lined up for next season. The defenseman, who finds himself caught between being the team's sixth and seventh defensemen, needs to reach an agreement with the CH by the start of the season.
It's not entirely unusual for a situation like this to “drag on,” though. Still, it hasn't been resolved yet.
In fact, it's unclear whether negotiations are progressing well or not. However, the defenseman's agent, Brian Bartlett, spoke briefly about the
