Latest blog entries from Toronto teams across every league
The Atlanta Hawks were at home on Friday evening to face the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Cup group stage play. These two teams have seen each other already in the season opener, with the Hawks losing. This time, the Hawks didn’t have Trae Young, but they have found some rhythm without him. They were […]
St. Louis Blues forward Brayden Schenn is back in the rumor mill due to the Central Division club's poor start to the season. With this, let's take a look at three teams who could look to acquire Schenn this season. New Jersey Devils The Devils were heavily linked to Schenn this past season, so it would not be surprising in the slightest if they looked to add him again. He would be a great fit for their third-line center spot behind Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier. Toronto Maple Leafs ...
We’ve had the NBA Cup now for a few seasons, and it’s not a secret that drumming up excitement for it has been… difficult. Now, public NBA Cup truther and SB Nation NBA manager Harrison Faigen has been preaching about the NBA Cup since the LA Lakers won the first edition, and I never understood […]

It’s that time of year: NBA City Edition jerseys. You either love or hate your team’s edition of the jerseys every year, which is fair given that teams take some… artistic liberties on the designs. The Toronto Raptors have been through a few iterations of their city threads. For a long stretch there, the team […]

After Friday’s practice, Craig Berube discussed the Maple Leafs’ struggling power play, their lack of man-advantage opportunities, William Nylander’s hot start, the McMann-Robertson duo, and Joseph Woll joining the Marlies for a conditioning stint. The team leads the league in five-on-five goals but is near the bottom of the league in power-play percentage. What do […] The post Craig Berube on why the Maple Leafs receive so few power-play opportunities: “You’d have to ask the league” appeare...
Ahead of his return to the crease with the Toronto Marlies on a conditioning stint, goaltender Joseph Woll discussed his leave of absence and the process of getting up to speed mid-season.

There were bits of Jays’ news yesterday that I missed. Not that it was news, but the Jays game Bo Bichette a Qualifying Offer. $22.025, which sounds like a lot of money. Bo will be looking for a contract for around ten years. That’s a longer contract than I’d want to give him, but if […]
It was 3-0. December 18, 2015: The Toronto Marlies find themselves trailing 3-0 after 42 minutes on the road against a rolling Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins team. A wild, highly improbable comeback unfolds as Toronto scores three shorthanded goals in 2:34 before winning the game in a shootout. Roll forward almost 10 years, and the Marlies mounted […] The post Toronto Marlies mirror big club, overcome three-goal third-period deficit vs. Penguins appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
The Milwaukee Bucks begin their title defense of the NBA Cup tonight against the Chicago Bulls. This will be the first of four games between the I-94 rivals. The Bucks will look to bounce back after looking flat in a loss to the Toronto Raptors, while the Bulls will look to keep up the strong […]
If you were a baseball fan channel-surfing during the past month, there was a decent chance you’d tune into Canadian baseball programming of some kind. Without burying the lede, the Toronto Blue Jays played in their first World Series since they were back-to-back champs in 1992-1993. Alas, Toronto could not quite get Louie Varland his […]
Everybody’s favourite baseball analyst, Buck Martinez, turns 77 today. Buck had a 17-season career as a catcher in the major leagues. 6 of those seasons were with the Blue Jays. He worked as the right-handed half of a very successful platoon pairing with Ernie Whitt. Buck was a good glove/bad bat, serving as a backup […]
After rejoining the NHL’s hockey operations department, Brendan Shanahan looks like a short-term league hire with a long-term goal of running a team again. Among the suitors, the Buffalo Sabres stand out from the pack, edging the Chicago Blackhawks and Nashville Predators thanks to multiple factors. League chatter, and Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos suggests Shanahan would listen, provided he gets Toronto Maple Leafs -style autonomy. Why Buffalo Stands Out Over Chicago and Nashville The Sa...

Stating the Maple Leafs badly needed a response effort after what was ultimately a comeback win over Pittsburgh is maybe overstating matters slightly, but they should’ve been heavily emphasizing a better start entering this game. Despite the 1-0 Utah scoreline after one period, the Leafs mostly played a strong opening frame. Missed opportunities for Toronto, […] The post Game Review: Maple Leafs continue third-period excellence in win over Utah appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
Jon Heyman, in the New York Post, tells us that Don Mattingly is leaving the Blue Jays. The story says that he is not retiring, but ‘looking for new opportunities’. Mattingly isn’t loved around here, getting, likely, too much blame for their terrible 2024 season (and no credit for the excellent 2025 season). I was […]
Women’s Hockey (12-0) The women’s hockey team stayed unbeaten with back-to-back 4-0 wins over Robert Morris. The defense allowed just 31 shots on goal in the series, and Katie DeSa stopped all of them in one of the best combined efforts from the defense all season. Tessa Janecke’s 10-game point streak ended in Game 2, […]
He's good now, it seems.
Elliotte Friedman offered a written version of 32 Thoughts, with perfect timing since the Penguins just passed through Toronto and he has plenty of good nuggets to look at considering the national level media gets the best and most information these days under the tight ship known as the Kyle Dubas front office. A few […]
Leafs have scored 14 goals during their 3 game winning streak.
*The boys will be in Nashville tonight to try and keep the momentum from Tuesday’s win over the Habs going. The team clearly heard what Rick Tocchet was saying and played accordingly (well, for the most part). [ Inquirer ] *It was mostly The Trevor Zegras Show up in Montreal but the whole offense seemed to be waking up. Would be cool to see some other guys get going (looking at you, Small Travis). [ The Athletic ] *Speaking of Zegras, you can tell he’s really feeling himself right no...
