Stéphane Waite predicts 40 goals for Nick Suzuki

In 2025–26, the Montreal Canadiens had a great season, especially when you look at the individual achievements of several players.
Cole Caufield scored 51 goals, Nick Suzuki tallied 101 points, Juraj Slafkovsky scored 30 goals, and Lane Hutson found the back of the net 78 times.
These are already excellent overall performances.
However, one can certainly wonder whether all these feats will be repeated—or whether new milestones will even be reached.

It's still unclear where Patrik Laine will play in '26–'27.
The reason is very simple: the forward is still a free agent. He hasn't been able to agree to contract terms with any National Hockey League team.
And for the past few days… there have been reports linking him to the two Florida teams. 
But according to George Richards, who covers the Panthers, there's nothing concrete at this point between the player and the club.

On October 25, the Jets and the Canadiens will face off in an away game.
The game will be held at the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' stadium (Princess Auto Stadium).
It's sure to make for some great footage… and it's sure to be a memorable moment for the players taking part.
That said, we learned early this afternoon that several former Canadiens players will be suiting up for the all-time game between the two teams, which will be played the day before (October 24).

The San Diego Padres have new owners. The Seidler family has officially sold the club, and José E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones are now at the helm of the team.
As a reminder, the team's former owner, Peter Seidler, passed away in 2023.
Naturally, people were wondering what the new owners would say about the team's payroll. We know that, in recent years, the Padres haven't been afraid to spend big money despite the small size of their market.
And during their press conference, the new owner

Josh Yohe, a reporter who covers the Penguins for The Athletic, has published a series of articles ranking NHL cities that are worth visiting for people from Pittsburgh.
Distance is a factor, but it's not the only one considered. Otherwise, the Flyers wouldn't be ranked #28 on Yohe's list.
And it's interesting to note that the journalist recommends the Bell Centre and Montreal as the #1 place in the NHL for Penguins fans to visit.

Maybe to a certain section of sports fan Tom Brady is a god, but in pop culture circles he continues to be the most divorced man who ever divorced. JLo has been divorced four times and she is far less divorced than Tom Brady.What is it about Tom? He is elite in his accomplishments, he is well groomed, he is gainfully employed, he doesn’t have a bad reputation. He’s not stumbling out of nightclubs or doing TikTok dances, he’s not dating 22-year-olds or fighting with people in th

What lies ahead for Alex Newhook this season?
By necessity, he'll be considered an option for the team's top six. After all, there are still two spots up for grabs due to the GM's inaction this summer.
And since Newhook has often played alongside Ivan Demidov over the past year—and the former Avalanche player is also capable of playing center—he's a natural candidate for a key role.
Newhook's performance in 2025–2026 (both early in the season and in the playoffs) will force the

Miley Cyrus is heading into her next album cycle. Fans have spotted billboards across New York City and Los Angeles courtesy of Spotify that seem to be teasing new music from an unspecified artist. The sole image is a red closeup of one eye with the statement “coming soon”. Miley fans can recognize those eyes in the image anywhere – it’s her.
Adding further fuel to the fire is Mert Alas, Miley’s creative director. He shared a photo of the billboards on his Instagram

over the Ottawa Rouge et Noir, the Montreal coach was particularly concerned about the 12 penalties called against his team, resulting in a total loss of 90 yards.

Dana Brown took over as general manager of the Houston Astros in 2023. During the previous offseason, owner Jim Crane and then-general manager Jim Click had been unable to reach an agreement on a new contract after Click had built a team that won the World Series.
Although Brown helped the Astros reach the playoffs in 2023 and 2024, the franchise missed the postseason for the first time since 2016 last year.
And it appears that Crane felt this was the right time to part ways with his general man

Dear Gossips,Dolly Parton is remarkable in all the ways, present tense because it’s not possible for a person like Dolly to retreat – she is, truly, an eternal flame. And the tributes that are being shared are a reflection of how singular she is.As many people have noted, she’s one of very, very, very few people we can all agree on, and in our culture, her reach is the most inclusive, the most diverse. From science and education to tourism to food to movies and music, Dolly is

There won't be many new players to watch when the Canadiens' training camp kicks off in three weeks. However, there's one “veteran” player who will catch my attention more than the others: Samuel Montembeault.
And I won't be the only one.

The NFL continues to expand internationally, and several major cities are emerging as serious candidates to host more games—or even a long-term franchise.
Mexico City, Toronto, and Berlin,
in particular, have many strengths: a large population, a solid fan base, and relatively favorable logistics.
In Mexico, the NFL already has a well-established history. Mexico City hosted games between 2016 and 2022 and is expected to return to the schedule starting in 2026, with games scheduled at Banor

This morning, Corey Pronman released his 2023 draft rankings, looking back over the past three years.

The Strokes were one of the leading lights of the early 2000s rock revival. The band’s debut, Is This It?, made a bold entrance on the music world’s radar with a collection of some of the tightest, stripped down songs to grace radio waves in years.Unlike the more metallic-leaning sounds of Seattle’s grunge scene, the New York City band fronted by lead singer Julian Casablancas married punk pace and energy with a more cutting garage band vibe. Over the years, the group experien

The world’s best players often set the bar high. That’s what makes them better than the rest.
This is especially true of Mason Miller.
Last night, the San Diego Padres' trusted reliever allowed the game's only run in a 1-0 loss to the Pirates, his hometown team.
He did so by giving up his first home run in over a year. The only other home run he's allowed in San Diego was on August 5, 2025, in his second game with the Padres.

Could Elliotte Friedman work anywhere other than Sportsnet?

The NCAA, just like the NHL, is about to resume play. For example, we've seen Michael Hage and his teammates at Michigan gather on campus in the last few hours.
The return of hockey is, more than ever, just around the corner.

It's been more than two months since we learned that Dylan Larkin had asked the Red Wings to trade him. The team's captain, who hasn't played in the playoffs in 10 years, wanted a fresh start.
And he provided a (very) short list of teams he'd be willing to be traded to: the Panthers, the Golden Knights, the Wild, and the Stars.
But as of today, Larkin is still in Detroit. There's no longer a general manager in town, which means Larkin's situation is at a standstill… and the teams on his l

The Tkachuk brothers are making headlines.
Not necessarily for the right reasons. We know Brady isn't the brightest, and in a video making the rounds online, he's once again made a fool of himself.
Matthew was surprised that his little brother had been booed in Calgary. So he asked him if he'd been booed in every Canadian city. Brady replied that he hadn't been booed in Vancouver, Edmonton, or Seattle.
No, Seattle isn't in Canada.

Some good players were selected in the 2022 draft.
Juraj Slafkovsky and Lane Hutson are obviously two of them, and the Devils had high hopes for Simon Nemec, who was selected right after Slaf.
Unfortunately, his time with the Devils was short-lived: he was traded to the Flames this summer. In return, the Devils' new GM, Sunny Mehta, acquired Etienne Morin, a second-round pick, and two first-round picks. A great deal.
Nemec admitted today, during the European players' media tour, that he was happ

As you probably know, the Blue Jays announced that Shane Bieber is heading to the injured list for a few weeks.He felt some discomfort on Sunday, which led to a series of tests. And the team's disastrous season in terms of injuries continues…
Will he return this season? According to John Schneider, it's possible. Nothing is certain, however. Will he return too late? That's also a question.
Basically, the pitcher won't be able to pitch for two weeks. After that, his recovery will depend on

What does the future hold for Quinn Hughes?
I don't know. But with all the rumors swirling around him, it seems like I'm relieved I'm not a Wild fan.
That said…
That said, there are currently no trade discussions involving Quinn Hughes, despite the rumors that have been circulating over the past few days.
Instead, the Minnesota Wild reportedly have their sights set on a single goal: reaching a contract extension agreement with their star defenseman.

Global icon Dolly Parton died today in her hometown of Nashville. The beloved singer, songwriter, actress, author, playwright and philanthropist was 80 years old.Born on Jan. 19, 1946, in a one-room cabin in Pittman Centre, Tenn., Dolly Rebecca Parton was the fourth of 12 children.
