Sidney Crosby<\/a> joining the Montreal Canadiens is rising again, as Renaud Lavoie reveals his close bond with Mike Matheson-changing everything.<\/p>\nI know, I know… The Crosby saga again.<\/p>\n
However, this time, we really have something concrete! What once seemed like just a \u00abdie-hard fans\u00bb dream is becoming more realistic.<\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n
It seems that in Montreal, another name is playing an important role in this story – Mike Matheson.<\/p>\n
Even the well-known Arnaud Gascon-Nadon gave his opinion:<\/p>\n
“Sid the kid has to come play in Montreal…<\/p>\n
It’s over after that. We close the books.<\/p>\n
I’m completely excited…<\/p>\n
I can’t believe it”<\/p>\n
– Arnaud Gascon-Nadon<\/p>\n
Mike Matheson and Sidney Crosby – a friendship that could change everything for the Montreal Canadiens<\/p>\n
“‘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.”<\/p>\n
However, what really made the rumor explode was the next part of his statement:<\/p>\n
“‘It’s certain that it’s going to happen,’ Lavoie continued. ‘We just need Sidney [Crosby] to say yes.'”<\/p>\n
That says a lot! And if TVA Sports allows itself to report such a statement, there might be some truth behind all of this.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
