Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews won’t be losing sleep over his team’s 4-1 preseason loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. Toronto certainly generated several chances, and were unlucky that only Darren Raddysh got on the board, but there were also just as many rusty moments. Matthews felt there was plenty they can therefore…

The Toronto Blue Jays have almost no margin for error remaining. With a 6-2 loss to the Texas Rangers on Saturday, they fell three games back of the Chicago White Sox for the final American League wild-card spot. The White Sox hold the tiebreaker over the Blue Jays, meaning Toronto needs four more wins than Chicago over the final seven games to overtake them. Moreover, the Rangers overtook the Houston Astros for the top spot in the AL West with the win, meaning the Astros are now one game ahea...
MONTREAL— It was a smooth redirect from Ivan Demidov. This one delivered in the room after he spent his night dekeing and deceiving every Toronto Maple Leaf in his path in a 4-3 overtime win for his Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre. It’s pre-season, but Demidov, who scored a goal on Saturday, is already in mid-season form both on and off the ice. We asked him if anything he worked on during the off-season translated immediately for him through this first game back. “You tell me,” the 20-year-...
ARLINGTON, Texas — Cal Quantrill left the Texas Rangers’ game against the Toronto Blue Jays with right lat tightness after getting one out in the second inning Saturday night. Five relievers covered the final 7 2/3 innings, and Texas won 6-2 at Globe Life Field. With the win, the Rangers (78-77) moved into sole possession […]
At the best of times, preseason is incredibly difficult to evaluate. In these changing times, we have to be even more careful. With the NHL schedule moving to 84 games, the preseason schedule has been reduced to four. In the Leafs’ case, those four games are happening on just two nights. Add in a training […] The post Maple Leafs Lose Preseason Opener (x2): Analysis & Player Notes From Both Games appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
ARLINGTON, TX. — The out-of-town scoreboard at Globe Life Field is difficult to miss: a tall, red column high above the batter’s eye in centre field cycles continuously through results and games in progress across MLB. It was only Saturday’s second inning — not even 7:00pm local — when it displayed a seven-run Cleveland Guardians lead over the displaced Athletics, which, coupled with a Chicago White Sox victory earlier in the day, forced the Toronto Blue Jays to face an unfortunate proposition...
The Toronto Raptors turned a celebration for Kyle Lowry into a fresh debate over the franchise’s greatest player. During a massive block party at Maple Leaf Square, the Raptors unveiled a new tribute to Lowry following his official retirement as a Raptor this past July.

TORONTO — Maksymilian Szuber scored the winner in the third period as the undermanned Montreal Canadiens topped the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 in a split-squad game on the first night of the NHL’s pre-season schedule Saturday. Phillip Danault, including one into the empty net, added two goals for Montreal, while Samuel Poulin rounded out the scoring. Samuel Montembeault was perfect in making 13 stops. Kaapo Kahkonen made 11 saves in relief after coming on in the second period. No. 1 overall pick ...
ARLINGTON — José Soriano flashed brilliance but battled inconsistency in Saturday’s 6-2 loss to the Rangers at Globe Life Field. The 27-year-old threw five-plus frames, allowing six runs (five earned) on four hits while striking out eight and walking one batter. He appeared to fight the feel for his knuckle curveball, helping Texas build an early lead on a night when Toronto’s offense took until the sixth inning to record its first hit.

Bruce Brown should be a fan favorite entering training camp as he battles for a roster spot with the Knicks, Mike Vaccaro of The New York Post writes in a subscriber-only story.

After the Maple Leafs’ 4-1 loss to the Canadiens in the preseason opener, head coach Jim Hiller discussed Auston Matthews’ and Gavin McKenna’s performances, the team’s execution with and without the puck, and Dakota Joshua’s status.

The Toronto Maple Leafs lost their second of two split-squad games against the Montreal Canadiens to open the newly-shortened preseason, falling 4-3 in overtime.
