The Sick Podcast is much more than Tony Marinaro; it’s 21 podcasts in all. And it’s about to be 22, as a brand new podcast from Toronto is about to be launched.
The ménage à trois is the talk of the town. Historically, when Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton ride with three guys, that’s what happens: it gets the fans talking.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
The Montreal Canadiens rewarded Alexandre Texier's remarkable turnaround by signing the French forward to a two-year contract extension worth $5 million.
The Montreal Canadiens have locked in an a key depth forward. The team announced on Wednesday that they have signed forward Alexandre Texier to a two-year contract extension that will carry an average annual value of $2.5 million while running through the 2026-27 and 2027-28 seasons.

The ménage à trois is becoming increasingly complicated. Jakub Dobes is winning his games (although not always spectacularly), Jacob Fowler is performing well and inspiring confidence… and meanwhile, we’re starting to see the Samuel Montembeault of the good old days.
According to his agent, Dan Milstein, Alexandre Texier has signed a two-year, $5MM ($2.5MM AAV) extension with the Montreal Canadiens. Texier originally joined the Canadiens on a one-year, $1MM contract in November after his previous contract with the St.
Forget the empty platitudes of your uncles, who constantly paraphrase Michel Bergeron, the late Guy Lafleur(whose ashes, by the way, were bizarrely scattered over the city of Thurso, but that’s another subject) and Claude Quenneville: when you’re leading 2-0 early in the third, you can’t lose the game.
Nick Suzuki is having a strange season, when you think about it. His 50 points in 47 games make him a top-notch player – and it’s a good thing he’s here.
The Montreal Canadiens started Tuesday’s game with two solid periods where they had a 2-0 lead, but they blew it during the 3rd period before losing 3-2 in overtime to the Washington Capitals.
The Montreal Canadiens’ rebuild has been built as much on patience as it has on smart drafting, and early in 2026, that approach is paying dividends across multiple levels.
The Canadiens have just finished a stretch of five games in seven nights with seven points out of a possible ten. Looking at the big picture , that’s excellent.

For as good as Michael Hage has been this season, there might be some things he needs to work on in order to reach the next level. The Montreal Canadiens prospect has had a fruitful start to the 2025-26 season.
It was quite the surprise back in July 2022 when the Montreal Canadiens stepped onto the stage at the Bell Centre and announced they were selecting Juraj Slafkovsky with the first overall pick in the draft.
As the Montreal Canadiens continue to hover around the playoff picture, it’s no surprise to see general manager Kent Hughes linked to experienced, battle-tested forwards.
Other Montreal Canadiens technically had a larger impact on the scoresheet against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday night at the Bell Centre. However, defenseman Alexandre Carrier arguably had the biggest impact on the outcome of the game, in scoring two critical goals, including his 100th career point, as the Habs came away with a 6-3 win.
Mike Matheson and Juraj Slafkovsky scored goals 38 seconds apart to break a third-period tie and send the host Montreal Canadiens to a 6-3 victory over the slumping Vancouver Canucks on Monday.
There’s something about rookies in Montreal. If they arrive with fireworks, billboards, and a pre-written legend, we notice. If they arrive quietly, do the work, and stack results without much noise, we tend to look past them.
The Canadiens will welcome back a key part of their back end tonight against Detroit. The team announced that defenseman Kaiden Guhle will return to the lineup, meaning he will be activated off long-term injured reserve.
