Martin St-Louis is a good coach.
He's done some great things with the Canadiens in recent years and is building a solid reputation—even though he still has some things to work on as a coach.
But at some point… I think it's ridiculous that he's currently the favorite for the Jack Adams Award.
Basically, NHL journalists were asked to cast their votes (very prematurely, mind you), and the Canadiens' head coach received the most points. The scoring system is easy to understand: if you're first on a journalist's list, you get five points.
If you're second, you get four points. If you're third, you get three points. You get the idea…
Martin St-Louis tops the rankings with 58 points. Ryan Warsofsky, the Sharks' head coach, is second with 49 points. Spencer Carbery (25 points), Rod Brind'Amour (22 points), and Paul Maurice (18 points) round out the list.

The problem?
Martin St-Louis doesn't look like a Jack Adams Trophy-caliber coach right now: his team is in 20th place in the National Hockey League's overall standings, ranks 24th in the NHL in goal differential… and is playing at .500 early in the season.
As for the Jack Adams Award, we'll have to wait and see…
But it does show one thing: There's respect for Martin St-Louis throughout the league.
It's pretty easy to see when you look at lists like this one in the current context, after all.

– Sad news.
The Toronto Blue Jays are deeply saddened by the passing of Larry Millson, one of Canada's most respected baseball writers.
For more than 30 years as a Blue Jays beat writer, Larry chronicled many of the most memorable moments in franchise history with insight, professionalism, and an enduring passion for the game.
Even after stepping away from full-time beat coverage, Larry remained a familiar and welcome presence in the Rogers Centre press box, continuing to share his love of baseball through his writing, his stories, and the friendships he built throughout the game.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Larry's family, friends, and former colleagues. His contributions to baseball journalism and the Canadian baseball community will be remembered.
