Jeff Petry: news of the weekend
The biggest news of the weekend, going by numbers of items and reactive tweets, is the departure of Jeff Petry to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
There’s been a lot of discussion in sports columns and on social media about the various trades by the Canadiens, but except for big stories like this one – apparently – I pass on them, always figuring real aficionados will have already found out more than a blog like this can possibly tell them.

Kate, as an aficianado I’ll just say that I appreciate it when you post about sports goings-on that affect city life in some way beyond field/ice/whatever. If a team is making a deep playoff run, or announces major upgrades at a stadium, or changes owners, that’s the sort of thing I might expect to see discussed here. Player transactions or coaching changes, I agree – leave those to the subject experts.
