Celebrities Took Over the Stands at LAFC vs. Inter Miami - BetUS

Do you remember when Patrik Laine, just hours before facing the Blue Jackets, said he had asked to leave Columbus because he was tired of losing there?
The Blue Jackets had canceled the video tribute planned for him and the guys in the Columbus locker room were upset. It seemed to whip the Ohio players into shape for the rest of the game.
This is why this morning, when I look at the standings, I think Patrik Laine must really hope his team qualifies – and not just that they’re #DansL

When social-media star Nicole Coenen has to venture away from her quiet life in the Gulf Islands, things can seem a little weird. “It is kind of odd, I forget that people know me from the internet. So I’ll go to Vancouver every so often, or Victoria, and people will recognize me and it kind of throws me off a little bit, because I’m like, ‘Do I know them from school?’ ” said Coenen. “I don’t get out. I’m not gonna lie. I’m kind of a he

This one is going to get people talking.
Warrior company has partnered with Ivan Demidov to represent the company, and this morning, we saw Demidov’s “campaign signs” everywhere in the city with the Warrior logo.
The slogan “Here for the Habs” is likely to get people talking, either in a good or bad way, but it’s going to get people talking a lot.A marketing coup from Warrior Hockey: the company has partnered with Ivan Demidov… and installed about a hun

Last night, the Canadiens could have qualified even if they didn’t play.
However, the Blue Jackets won.

Although the Canadiens have their destiny in their hands, with only two games left to play, nothing is yet decided for the Montreal team.
Here are the possible scenarios:
1- If the Canadiens get two points, the team makes the playoffs regardless of the Blue Jackets’ results.
2- If the Canadiens get only one point, the Blue Jackets must win their last two games in

— Columbus Blue Jackets (@BlueJacketsNHL) April 14, 2025This win for the Jackets, their fourth consecutive one, allows them to maintain their prospect of participating in the playoffs.
The Ohio club is only three points behind the habs, who currently occupy the last rank of the drafted teams. Both teams have two games left to play.

Since his return, Kaiden Guhle has elevated his game and is possibly playing the best hockey of his career.
He is currently, along with Lane Hutson, the best duo of defensemen of the Canadiens, or Habs.
Although he has only obtained two assists since his return, Guhle brings defensive stability, as shown by his +5 record, which allows his partner to unleash his offensive skills.
Today, in a column published on La Poche Bleue, Florence Normand highlights the importance of robustness in the way Gu

Officially, the New York Rangers are eliminated from the playoff race.
Unofficially, hockey fans had given up on the Rangers and their poor season a long time ago.
When I saw that they traded Ryan Lindgren, one of the best defensive defensemen in the NHL, it told me a lot about the vision of the “Blue Shirts” management for the rest of the season.
In the Ryan Lindgren trade, the Rangers got, among other things, Juuso Parssinen and veteran defenseman Calvin de Haan.
The latter has onl

Since the return of the 4 Nations break, Nick Suzuki has been on an incredible roll, with 35 points, including 14 goals, in 24 games.
Besides the captain, Lane Hutson has also been on a great streak since February 22.
The rookie defenseman is almost at a point per game with 23 points in 24 games.
On the other hand, the Montreal Canadiens’ defensive brigade is slowing down, excluding Hutson, of course.
You won’t guess who is the second-best scoring defenseman since the return of the 4

We really don’t know what’s going on with Emil Heineman.
The big forward hasn’t played since April 5, when the Flyers were visiting the Centre Bell.
Is he injured? The habs announced on April 6 (the day after the game against the Flyers) that the Swede was being evaluated daily. But since then, it’s been radio silence…
Patrick Friolet, who was on Greg Lanctot’s show this morning (BPM Sports), has his opinion on the subject.
And in the eyes of the RDS journali

Even though he had the option to rest today since it was a day off, Lane Hutson still made the trip to Brossard.
Why?
Because… Ivan Demidov.
The Canadiens’ defenseman couldn’t skate with Demidov and the extras yesterday because he had to be ready for his game last night against the Leafs.
But today, he had the opportunity to join his new teammate for a few laps on the ice.. and he took advantage of the opportunity to do so.
Again, it’s worth noting that the Canadiens pla

The Canadiens lost to the Leafs last night.
And after the match, the club announced that there was a day off on the menu for the guys today.
But that didn’t stop Ivan Demidov – who didn’t play last night – from jumping onto the ice. He took his first strides on Quebec soil.
Roles are reversed: today, it was colleague Charles-Alexis Brisebois who was on site in Brossard to monitor Demidov.
He posted a video on Twitter where we see Demidov doing laps on the ice, as he was j

When we see that the Montreal Canadiens’ chances of making the playoffs are currently at 98.7%, we shouldn’t be worried.
However, nothing is done yet, and as long as that percentage is not at 100%, everything can collapse for the Habs.
The Habs have already missed two great opportunities to secure their playoff spot this weekend, and therefore, nothing guarantees they will succeed in doing so in their last two games.
The chances are very slim, almost impossible, to see the Canadiens

Since the beginning of the season, Lane Hutson has impressed us almost every time he’s on the ice.
The fans of the Canadiens de Montreal say every time how lucky the habs are to have him among their ranks.
Hutson never ceases to amaze and, above all, he broke several records and several impressive marks for a rookie defenseman.
However, there is one record that Hutson has been close to for a few games now, but which we haven’t talked about all week.
In fact, in the silence, we’

For a second time in as many nights, the Montreal Canadiens failed to confirm their place in the playoffs.
Even though they got a point in their 1-0 loss to the Maple Leafs in Toronto, the Habs still don’t have a little x next to their name in the standings.
Despite everything, the Habs still have 98.7% chances of making the playoffs.
So, it’s not the end of the world to have lost last night to the Leafs, but still, it’s a shame the Habs can’t confirm their playoff spot,

There are not many games left before the start of the playoffs, and therefore, each matchup is generally of great importance for the standings.
Yesterday, several teams played for their survival, while others fought to retain their spot or even move up in the standings.
Here are the highlights of the day in the National Hockey League.

The Minnesota Wild is fighting for a playoff spot, as they haven’t been able to

Tonight, we obviously had to watch the Canadiens’ game, who finally lost in overtime.
But we also had to take a look at the Rocket’s game from time to time. Why? Because Jacob Fowler was making his professional debut. He made a good first impression by stopping 25 of the 26 shots directed at him.
He allowed a goal in the Rocket’s win. Welcome to pro hockey, Jacob!Jacob Fowler picks up the victory (25 saves) in his first professional game. @RocketLaval | #LAVvsSYR pic.twitter.co

For the second evening in a row, the Canadiens failed to qualify for the playoffs. The loss – in overtime – to the Maple Leafs tonight means that the habs, who have forgotten how to shoot, can still be overtaken in the standings.
That being said, the fact that they earned a point in overtime (thanks to Jakub Dobes) means that the Red Wings can no longer surpass the Canadiens in the standings. Detroit is eliminated… just like the two New York teams.
In fact, the standings are s

The Canadiens could have qualified yesterday by defeating the Ottawa Senators. Unfortunately, they didn’t succeed.
As early as tonight, in Toronto this time, Montreal could bounce back.

This afternoon, we had to watch the Capitals-Blue Jackets game.
Columbus finally crushed Washington with a score of 7-0 and Dean Evason’s club is still alive.
A funny moment occurred during the game. Dmitri Voronkov, who had an assist, was kicked out of the game, but still decided to stay on the ice.Dmitri Voronkov was given a 10-minute misconduct but didn’t understand the ref — so he stayed on the ice.The officials eventually noticed and ejected him from the game.

It’s not going super well for the Capitals lately.
The Washington formation played this afternoon against the Blue Jackets and even if some players were left out – including Alex Ovechkin -, the Jackets easily won the game with a score of 7-0.
The Caps have only three wins in their last nine games…
But it goes even further than that.
If the Capitals have only three wins in their last nine games… it’s also because they have conceded a total of 41 goals (!) during t
