The New Jersey Devils have lost five games in a row and something has to change while Jack Hughes is injured. It can't be yet another season that goes down the drain because their best player is sidelined. With that, the team is looking for upgrades this season to provide even more depth. According to David Pagnotta, "I fully expect Tom Fitzgerald (Devils' GM) to be engaged in some of the big fish, whether it's Marchessault or Stamkos...Brayden Schenn in St. Louis." The Nashville Predators are...
Already this season the Toronto Raptors have seen some hills and valleys. A 9-game winning streak has turned into dropping 4 of the last 5 games and scoring a season-low in their most recent outing against Charlotte. Now, in the midst of their home-stand, they need to see if they are able to stop the […]
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Vinny Capra. The 29-year-old actually already has ties to New England/Boston. He was drafted by the Blue Jays in the 20th round of the 2018 MLB Draft and spent some playing time for Manchester, New Hampshire’s Fisher Cats. After making his Major League debut with […]
The Maple Leafs’ modest three-game winning streak is over, but they managed to pick up a point from a game in which they probably deserved none. For all the rightful consternation about the loss of Joseph Woll and the impact of his injury absence, Dennis Hildeby was the Leafs’ best player (until the shootout). Unfortunately, […]

Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 2-1 shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 13-11-4. On the team’s performance: Good first period. I thought we came out with the right mindset and did some good things. In the second period, we turned pucks over. That is basically […]

The Montreal Canadiens’ opening third of the 2025-26 season is set to conclude with a critical battle against the Toronto Maple Leafs that could determine the overall success of the first 27 matches. A win tonight gives them a four-point edge in the standings; a loss evens the teams at 31 points w...
Occasionally, the Jays make a move that I don’t understand They placed Yariel Rodriguez on waivers. He wasn’t claimed, but he’s no longer on the 40-man.. They still owe him $5 million this coming year. $6 million in 2027 and has a $6 million player option for 2028, which would become a $10 million team […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs cant' keep their goaltenders healthy. After Anthony Stolarz was already on the shelve, and unavailable, Joseph Woll has now gone down, sustaining a lower-body injury on a non-contact play against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night. The team announced ahead of their Saturday night tilt against the Montreal Canadiens that Woll is out for at least a week, but it's worth noting the team has been all over the place with their injury timelines this season. The move is ...
After I wrote last week about Garret Sparks suiting up with Bloomington as their EBUG for a week, I didn't expect to write a second story about a former NHL player finding work in the ECHL. The man to the left, though, has given me that opportunity as he signed a standard player contract with the ECHL's Jacksonville Icemen yesterday, and the veteran of 73 NHL games appears to have played last night as the Icemen hosted the Atlanta Gladiators. If you don't recognize him from that picture immedi...
Tonight on Hockey Night in Canada, the surging Maple Leafs are hoping to exact some revenge on a Habs team that embarrassed them in Montreal two weeks ago, but they’ll need to do it without Joseph Woll (7:00 p.m. EST, Sportsnet/CBC).

The Winter Meetings start today. Which means we should get some rumours and news to talk about. Right now? Well, we know Dylan Cease’s jersey number will be 84, the first 84 in Jays history. And we know that Kyle Tucker visited the Jays’ spring training facilities. Yes, so did Ohtani. Hopefully, the Jays didn’t […]
Ahead of Saturday’s game against Montreal, head coach Craig Berube discussed Joseph Woll’s injury timeline, the team’s confidence in Dennis Hildeby, the keys to building off a successful road trip, the chemistry of his third line, and much more.

“Being hurt is no fun. To get back out there and get two points for the team is fun. As a team, we talked about getting to the net, creating a little bit more. On all three of those goals [assisted by Matt Benning], we had guys in front of the goalie’s eyes, and without […]

Good morning. One of baseball’s foremost insides stoked the hot stove, yesterday: Retaining free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman is a priority for the Boston Red Sox.

The Charlotte Hornets came from behind to beat the Toronto Raptors for the second time in less than a week, this time convincingly. The Summary Both teams got exactly one possession before the game was delayed about 20 minutes because some strobe lights couldn’t stop strobing. I don’t know if it was because of the […]

“We can’t control winning,” Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic said on Friday evening. On a cold December night, the Raptors prepared to play their second game of a back-to-back, their 5th game in seven nights. Last night’s buzzer-beater loss to the LA Lakers still fresh, it was time to let that go and focus […]
The winter meetings take place early next week and hopefully that forces more action in free agency. Dylan Cease got a massive contract from Toronto but there hasn’t been much else outside of a few relievers. Who is going to sign Kyle Tucker?

If you had written a script on how the Lakers would beat the Raptors, it wouldn’t have been as perfect as what happened on Thursday night. With the game even at 120 and LA with the ball, plenty was on the line. The Lakers were trying to start this road trip with a win. With […]
The Yankees’ offseason has gotten off to a quiet start. That fact, in and of itself, is not particularly alarming. The baseball offseason, despite the popular ‘hot stove’ term, rarely moves all that quickly at first. But when a rival team makes aggressive moves early on, fans start to get antsy. The Blue Jays, who […]
