Latest blog entries from Toronto teams across every league
We’re into the dog days of summer, which naturally lends itself to daydreaming about the future. And for the first in recent memory, the Toronto Maple Leafs’ prospect pool is a source of genuine optimism and excitement. Of course, this comes with the territory when a player of Gavin McKenna’s calibre lands in the franchise’s…
From Brady and Matthew Tkachuk to Sam Reinhart, there seem to be more sons of former NHLers in the league than ever before. Some, such as Toronto Maple Leafs forward…
Steve Dangle says Connor McDavid comparisons followed Mitch Marner before Auston Matthews arrived.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have spent much of this offseason trying to change the identity of the hockey club. New general manager John Chayka didn’t sit around waiting for answers…
Steven Lorentz was the latest example of an Ontario-born NHLer who grew up in the Toronto area joining his childhood team and fulfilling a longtime dream in the process. After winning a Stanley Cup with the Florida Panthers in 2023-24, Lorentz signed a professional tryout with the Toronto Maple Leafs and eventually parlayed it into…
Well, we are fully entrenched in the dog days of the NHL off-season, and on top of that, my beloved Toronto Blue Jays are past the point of breaking my heart. They’ve ripped it out and are continually stomping on it on a nightly basis. Between there being no fun Oilers news to discuss, baseball…
What a game the Yankees just pitched to open their series against the Phillies with a 1-0 win! Cam Schlittler was dominant for 7.1 scoreless innings with a dozen strikeouts, Brent Headrick escaped an eighth innings bases loaded jam against Kyle Schwarber, and David Bednar extended his MLB-leading scoreless streak to 22.2 innings to nail […]
Once we know what happens with the Raptors’ Kawhi Leonard trade, we’ll finally have a clear picture of the Eastern Conference hierarchy.
A lot has been said about homecomings this offseason. Kyle Lowry retiring a Raptor, Kawhi Leonard in limbo, but ostensibly one step away from joining the team. However, all this talk about the greatest Raptors has left me feeling like there’s something missing. And that’s because my favourite Raptor of all-time might potentially be back […]
After seeing their franchise-record-tying 15-game winning streak come to an end Wednesday night, the Red Sox returned from Thursday’s off day with a 6-4 victory over the Blue Jays in Friday night’s series opener at Fenway Park.
Another week, another round of small announcements. There are some recognizable names among the announcements. Chris Bourque was an AHL legend. In theory, no one should know the league better. Beyond the Marlies, it’s been a week of watching RFAs sign, and notably Patrick Kane, a rumoured target of the Leafs, is off the UFA…
Blue Jays 4 Red Sox 6 So it was a better effort than we’ve seen of late. Kuzuma Okamoto hit a three-run home run in the seventh (which got us back into the game). Andrés Giménez hit a sac fly in the eighth (which tied the game). That was homer 23 for Okamoto, setting a […]
This could’ve been a barnstormer. Both starters were giving runs away early and often, both lineups had chances to blow this thing open, and instead a game that felt like it wanted to be 10-8 or more ended 6-4. The Red Sox left runners on base all night (11 to be exact), watched the bullpen […]
In an interview with Eric Nehm of The Athletic, Tyler Herro said he’s enthusiastic about getting a “fresh start” with his hometown Bucks. The one-time All-Star shooting guard was sent to Milwaukee from Miami as part of the trade that saw Giannis Antetokounmpo land with the Heat. “I’m happy where I’m at now,” Herro said. […]
Kevin Gausman's days as a Toronto Blue Jay might be coming to a close. He doesn't want to admit it, but heading into free agency after the season, it only makes sense for the Jays, who are sellers at this trade deadline, to get some prospect capital back for one of the game's top pitchers of this decade. There are a number of teams who could use a starter of his caliber down the stretch, particularly one with the type of playoff experience he has. One of those teams, the Chicago Cubs, has been...
Coming out of the All-Star break neck-and-neck with the Cleveland Guardians, the Chicago White Sox knew they had to hit the ground running. With two road series on deck against the Toronto Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers, winning each respective series was all that mattered and the White Sox did exactly that. Thanks to […]
Virtually every team on the planet has a mascot. They usually have the role of being an ambassador for the team while entertaining fans, but mascots are usually in a one-to-one relationship with a team. Rarely do we see mascots moving between teams, but there have been a handful who have made the transition from one team to another like Youppi! in Montreal and Sparky the Dragon on Long Island. There is one mascot in hockey, however, who has worked for a number of teams in his career, and one o...
An Apple TV game, because MLB will never turn down a dollar. It would be nice to win a game or two this series. Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS RED SOX Ernie Clement – SS Anthony Seigler – 2B Vladimir Guerrero – 1B Ceddanne Rafaela – CF Kazuma Okamoto – 3B Wilyer Abreu – RF George […]
AL East rivals renew their rivalry Friday night as the Blue Jays visit Fenway Park to begin a pivotal three-game series against the surging Red Sox. How to Watch Blue Jays vs Red Sox Boston enters the weekend riding one…
The 76ers look even more dangerous with LeBron James, but if the Kawhi Leonard trade goes through, the Raptors’ tough defense might just keep them on pace.
According to Shams Charania of ESPN, Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse was the only coach LeBron James spoke to in free agency. James is signing a two-year, $8 million deal with the 76ers. Nurse coached the Toronto Raptors to the 2019 championship against the Golden State Warriors. He’s been with the 76ers since 2023. […]
The Kawhi Leonard investigation reportedly concludes, paving the way for a potential trade from the Clippers to the Raptors. One of the biggest topics in the NBA spotlight involves the controversial investigation surrounding Kawhi Leonard , which put the futures of Brandon Ingram and Gradey Dick on hold after they were traded. The deal sending the two-time Defensive Player of the Year to the Toronto Raptors was paused while the league dug deeper into the scandal involving him and the Los Ang...
When Steve Yzerman stepped down as general manager of the Detroit Red Wings last week, it brought an end to a seven-year tenure during which one of the franchise’s greatest icons was tasked with leading his former team through a lengthy rebuild. It’s a challenge that now awaits Daniel and Henrik Sedin, who have committed…
The Eastern Conference continues to get tougher and tougher.
Kawhi Leonard and Joel Embiid have been two of the least available stars in the NBA in recent years. Embiid played 230 of the 410 possible regular-season games
