Latest blog entries from Toronto teams across every league
Nick Frasso returned from shoulder and hip surgeries that wiped out his 2024 season for a full 2025, but he struggled in Triple-A to end his time with the Dodgers. Acquired from the Blue Jays in the Mitch White trade in 2022, the 6’5 Frasso was ranked the 79th-best prospect in baseball by Baseball Prospectus […]
On December 18th in 2009, the red hot Minnesota Wild fell victim to a truck blaze during an Ottawa road trip incinerating players' bags, including that of goaltenders Backstrom and Harding. Equipment managers were immediately sent home to collect backup gear while players scrambled locally to replace knee braces, skates, and other protective necessities in anticipation of Saturday night's game
On December 17th in 2011, Vancouver Canucks coordinated captain Henrik Sedin casually collected defenseman Sami Salo's twirling airborne twig "like a boss" after it was chopped from his hands by Toronto Maple Leafs left winger Clarke MacArthur. The catch came with 3:30 remaining in the first period and ultimately earned the deft Swede the game's 4th Star per local tabloid&
On December 12th in 1933, Boston Bruins blueliner Eddie Shore drilled Toronto Maple Leafs scoring sensation Ace Bailey in response to physical play by penalty killers King Clancy and Red Horner. Horner recalls, "He [Shore] hit Bailey and flipped him in the air, just like a rag doll. Bailey landed on his head just a few feet from where I was standing. Bailey hit the ice and he went into some kind
On December 10th in 1980, Vancouver Canucks forward Tiger Williams famously rode his hockey stick the length of the Maple Leaf Gardens ice in celebration of a goal scored against Jim Rutherford in his first visit to Toronto since he was traded by the team ten months earlier. Drafted by Toronto 31st overall in 1974, Tiger spent his first six NHL seasons leading the Leafs in penalty minutes,

It's one thing when the fans start booing. And when the media trashes them. But now we can add in former team alumni among those absolutely torching the Toronto Maple Leafs . First, Jay Rosehill, currently of The Leafs Nation, let them have it on Leafs Morning Take, calling the current version of the squad "A f--king disgrace!": "I think it's a f--king disgrace" @Jay_D_Rosehill doesn't hold back on the Maple Leafs effort in their loss to the Washington Capitals and the idea that they've ...
After Friday’s practice, head coach Craig Berube discussed his team’s ugly loss in Washington, the current mood of his players, the areas of focus in practice, and his message to the team ahead of Saturday’s game in Nashville. A day later, how have you digested the loss in Washington? Berube: Pretty much the same as […] The post Craig Berube on the Maple Leafs’ current rut: “I truly believe we’ll get out of it… We have the good group, we have leadership, we have everything we need to get out...
It took nearly a month after Dylan Cease’s massive deal with the Blue Jays, but we finally have another major starting pitcher deal to potentially kick off an additional flurry of moves. There’s not much of an argument that the Michael King signing wasn’t bad news for the Cubs. I don’t just mean because the Cubs didn’t get him, mind you, though I am bummed about that part. Even in a world where the Cubs, themselves, had no interest in King, he was an option out of the market for othe...
The hits keep on coming for the Milwaukee Bucks, as they couldn’t win their second-to-last home game of December, losing to the Toronto Raptors 111-105. Even with good offensive games from a couple of bigs, Milwaukee couldn’t get back over the hump to complete the comeback. Read our full summary of the game here and […]
Although the free agent relief market has been extremely active of late, the free agent starter market hasn’t really gotten going. Dylan Cease’s big deal with the Blue Jays was over two weeks ago, and none of the other big-name free agent starters have signed since ( unless you count Merrill Kelly ). Until tonight! According to multiple reports, rumored Cubs free agent target Michael King has a new home. Well, an old home, new again. Let me state that more clearly: He’s going back to...
The head coach called his club’s patently poor effort against Chicago a “character win” after the Maple Leafs pulled a rabbit out of their hat late in the third period on Tuesday. If that’s the standard for a “character” effort, perhaps it’s little surprise that the Leafs were out-worked and out-played in every facet of […] The post Game Review: Maple Leafs give up after falling behind in Washington appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
The Milwaukee Bucks have now dropped two games in a row, falling to the Toronto Raptors 111-105; it is their second loss to the Raptors this season. Bobby Portis had 24 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Bucks, while KPJ had 22 and Myles Turner had 21. The red-hot Brandon Ingram led all scorers […]
After a challenging homestand, the change of scenery has been a welcome sight for the Raptors. After a solid win Monday, they followed that up tonight with a well-fought win over the Milwaukee Bucks 111-105. Both teams have had their share of struggles recently. Milwaukee continues to miss Giannis Antetokounmpo who was joined by Taurean […]
Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 4-0 loss to the Washington Capitals, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 15-13-5. On what made the Capitals such a big challenge for the team tonight: Ourselves. We had power play opportunities. The power play was not good. It has to be a lot better. To […] The post Craig Berube on why his players lacked “passion” against Washington: “Ask those guys, not me” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, was all set and ready for a night of laughs and hockey action while being live at a local rink, but Mother Nature had other ideas as Winnipeg was walloped by a snowstorm last night. Since then, it feels like I've been chasing my tail in trying to ensure plans are still on, coming up with contingency plans, and figuring out whether traveling to anywhere is worth the effort. The good news is that we figured it...
Dennis Hildeby will tend goal for the Maple Leafs, who are seeking revenge after forfeiting a 2-0 lead in Washington three weeks ago (7:00 p.m. EST, Sportsnet Ontario).

Ahead of the Leafs vs. Capitals matchup, Washington head coach Spencer Carbery discussed the matchup against/pre-scout of his former team and the challenges the Capitals are facing in their five-on-five game despite their strong results of late (6-2-2 L10). You beat the Leafs just under three weeks ago. What did you like about how the […] The post Spencer Carbery on the Maple Leafs’ season: “You read about what’s going on, but they’re 6-2-2 in their last 10! We know it’s a good team” appeare...
The Blue Jays picked up Tyler Heineman off waivers from the Red Sox in September of 2024, and he got into five games with the Jays, after playing two with the Red Sox. Before that, he played parts of four seasons with three different teams. He had 10 games with the Jays in 2022. He’d […]
