Tonight is the Montreal Canadiens' first game of the season at the Bell Centre.
And just like every year… we were treated to a special opening ceremony.
What do you think? Personally, I found it… funny?
I enjoyed watching Gregory Charles conduct his choir. The young people sang a song by Robert Charlebois, and it turned out really cool.What a beautiful rendition of “Je reviendrai à Montréal,” a Robert Charlebois classic released 50 years ago. Thank you to

The Sonny Gray Case
MLB examined his neck (sticky substances?) during Game 2 against the Yankees.I'm told MLB looked into Sonny Gray potentially using sticky stuff in his Game 2 start in the Bronx last week — but he obviously passed in-game standard checks without penalty, which suggests he is in the clear. Any disciplinary action would likely have been taken by now anyway.

The stands at the Bell Centre are going to be packed tonight. And not necessarily to watch the Canadiens play.
According to Karine Hains, no fewer than 14 different NHL teams will have scouts on site.
Yes… 14.
That's starting to add up.
Of course, that doesn't automatically mean that 14 teams are there to scout a specific player. Scouts travel, take notes, and often use their visits to evaluate multiple players at once.
But when so many teams go out of their way to be in the same place, i

Skydance-owned Paramount finalized its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery for $81 billion after a lengthy bidding process. The merger consolidates powerful studios, including HBO Max and CNN, under its umbrella. This acquisition faced significant opposition from Hollywood figures who expressed concerns about job losses and reduced audience choices. Legal challenges from multiple states were eventually settled to facilitate the merger's completion.

Brady Tkachuk left the Senators this summer.
And that doesn't seem to have bothered Tim Stutzle much, as he's emerging as one of the Sens' top leaders. He's been carrying the team on his shoulders since the start of the season in Ottawa, and it's working.
The German has four points in two games, and the Senators remain undefeated as of this writing…
That said, Stutzle spoke about Tkachuk's departure in a video by Sportsnet and Elliotte Friedman, who sat down with a few NHL players to disc

The Canadiens are on a roll right now.
They were able to sign their young players before the NHL saw a salary explosion, so the team now has one of the most exciting payrolls in the National Hockey League.
And that will continue to be the case in the coming years… because we know the salary cap is going to rise. And the Habs will have money to spend on a player who can make a huge impact on the team.
But one question remains: how would the best players feel about the team signing a talent

Shade, Malik, Bradley and Landon met on Building The Band where they were formed as a group before any of them saw each other’s faces. They only heard their voices. The premise of the show was a combination of Making The Band and The Voice, and the result was a set of strong vocalists. The western boy band has felt like a relic of another pop era for the better half of this decade and the later half of the 2010s. Building The Band was the industry’s attempt at reviving the model, and

Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Reckoning, about Meta and Mark Zuckerberg and whistle blowing, opens this Friday. Reviews are embargoed until tomorrow but from the early reactions that I’ve seen so far, the most common description is that it’s “solid”. Solid is good, but it is not spectacular, and I say this because Luca Guadagnino’s Artificial, which is about Sam Altman and OpenAI, screened last night at the NY Film Festival, and it seems to be making a lot more no

Lamar Jackson could be sidelined for an indefinite period after suffering an ankle injury during the Baltimore Ravens' game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.According to NFL Network expert Ian Rapoport, the 29-year-old star quarterback could miss several games.
The injury occurred with just 14 seconds left in the first half. Jackson was tackled by Titans defensive end Jermaine Johnson II. Following the contact, the Baltimore player's ankle twisted abnormally, preventing him from returning

When yellow dwarf stars like our sun die, they swell to an enormous size and destroy their inner planets by either crushing them with massive gravity or evaporating them with astounding heat. While these suns later settle down to become a white dwarf, the process is nearly always game over for planets in an inner solar system. Or maybe not, according to a paper published on Monday titled “Discovery of a second-generation planet candidate accreting onto a white dwarf.” As explained by
