Speculation about Sidney Crosby joining the Montreal Canadiens is rising again, as Renaud Lavoie reveals his close bond with Mike Matheson-changing everything.
I know, I know… The Crosby saga again.
However, this time, we really have something concrete! What once seemed like just a «die-hard fans» dream is becoming more realistic.
Why? Well, because this time, the comments come directly from Renaud Lavoie, on TVA Sports, and they’ve created a wave of hope across Montreal and Quebec!
It seems that in Montreal, another name is playing an important role in this story – Mike Matheson.
Even the well-known Arnaud Gascon-Nadon gave his opinion:
“Sid the kid has to come play in Montreal…
It’s over after that. We close the books.
I’m completely excited…
I can’t believe it”

Mike Matheson and Sidney Crosby – a friendship that could change everything for the Montreal Canadiens
“‘We eat together, we text each other, we talk on the phone. They are very good friends,’ he said during the daily JiC on Wednesday.”
However, what really made the rumor explode was the next part of his statement:
“‘It’s certain that it’s going to happen,’ Lavoie continued. ‘We just need Sidney [Crosby] to say yes.'”
That says a lot! And if TVA Sports allows itself to report such a statement, there might be some truth behind all of this.
Even with a solid start to the season in Pittsburgh (3-2-0), the situation is becoming clearer. It’s only a matter of time before the Penguins collapse and Kyle Dubas quietly starts preparing a rebuild.
As for Crosby, 38 years old, he might be looking for one last challenge elsewhere – in an environment that could give him back the energy to chase a fourth Stanley Cup.
And I truly think Montreal checks many boxes: a young, rebuilding team, a tight and passionate locker room… and now, a close friend already waiting for him.
