Struggling Florida was beaten 4-1 by the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday, falling to a putrid 0-3 on their current homestand to land in the Eastern Conference basement. Sam Reinhart took a pass from Anton Lundell scored shorthanded in the second period to pull the Panthers within a goal, but that would ...

If there's one thing that I can honestly say about having a radio show is that we, at no point in time, have ever claimed to have any influence on anyone when it comes to the game of hockey. We don't have the same reach or market share as a TSN radio nor a CJOB locally, so seeing local news stories covering something we were talking about on The Hockey Show just a couple of weeks ago seems pretty cool. Of course, coverage matters and a few of these outlets did what seems like the bare minimum,...

His contract includes a $10 million option for 2028 and a $2 million buyout. Kay becomes the 35th player on the 40-man […]
If the Lakers are going to get back to their winning ways, after a tough loss against the Suns, it’ll have to be without Luka Dončić. The team’s star guard will miss Thursday’s game against the Raptors for personal reasons. Smart will also be out, which isn’t a surprise. He’s missed the last three games […]
Not a surprise, but the Blue Jays are putting José Berríos on the trading block. They would have to pick up some of his contract. He is to receive $18,714,286 next year, and $24,714,285 in each of the two years after, with the possibility of performance bonuses on top. But then, if the Jays thought […]

I appreciate the gamble. I appreciate seeing an asset that maybe was on the buy low side of things and thinking that maybe – just maybe – something could be done to get a player on the cheap(ish). However. 2025 stats 49 G, 42 2/3 IP, 8.23 ERA (5.39 FIP), 25.1 K%, 9.1 BB%, 2.11 […]
Josh Harris and David Blitzer aren’t going to be happy today. The league announced that the Philadelphia 76ers have been fined $100,000 related to Joel Embiid’s injury reporting for the game against the Atlanta Hawks on Nov. 30. To quickly recap, Embiid had last played on Nov. 8 against the Raptors, then missed nine straight […]
Two former Brewers (one a major leaguer, the other a top prospect) picked up major free agents deals in the last two days, as former closer Devin Williams signed with the New York Mets and former farmhand Cody Ponce signed with the Toronto Blue Jays. Let’s take a look at both of these players, one […]
Meet the Mets The Mets aren’t done with their bullpen, continuing to pursue Edwin Díaz despite the addition of Devin Williams. But the eventual judgement on the Williams signing will be dependent on what Stearns does in relation to Díaz, writes John Harper. MLB Pipeline identified the teams with the prospects to swing a big […]
11 years ago today. The Blue Jays traded J.A. Happ to the Mariners for Michael Saunders. Happ had been with the Blue Jays for 2.5 seasons since he came over in a big trade with the Astros. We sent Francisco Cordero, Ben Francisco, Joe Musgrove, Carlos Perez, David Rollins, Asher Wojciechowski, and Kevin Comer to […]
The Florida Panthers dropped their third straight game at home, falling to the Toronto Maple Leafs by a 4-1 count at Amerant Bank Arena.
Toronto scored twice in a 2:30 span of the first period to take control of the scoreboard.
Recent waiver claim Troy Stecher opened the scoring at the 5:24 mark. After taking a low to high pass from Bobby McMann, Stecher beat Sergei Bobrovsky with a wrister from the right point through a screen. The second assist on Stecher’s first of the season went...
Devin Williams’ contract with the Mets was still the buzz yesterday, as there weren’t many other notable moves unless you still believe in Alek Manoah (who signed with the Angels) or are a big believer in Cody Ponce’s KBO revival (he went to the Blue Jays). The Ponce one should be interesting though, as he […]
After sustaining a torn ACL and undergoing surgery in September, both fans and media alike assumed Fred would be out for the entire 2025-2026 season. However, neither Houston nor VanVleet has ruled out a possible return. In the first episode of his podcast, Unguarded, Fred was asked about returning before or during the 2026 NBA […]
With an important two points on the line in this divisional matchup between two under-performing rivals, this was a complete team effort on the road from the Maple Leafs.

It’s the beginning of a week-plus long home stand for the Toronto Raptors, as they welcomed the Portland Trail Blazers to Scotiabank Arena Tuesday night. After losing in back-to-back games against Charlotte and New York on the road this weekend, the Raptors got the news that Scottie Barnes was the Eastern Conference’s Defensive Player of […]
The Portland Trail Blazers treated their Tuesday evening game with the Toronto Raptors like a cat treats the back door. In it. Out of it. In it again. Out of it again. Like a proper feline, though, the Blazers ended up not only in it, but ready to jump on the counter for a proper […]
The Portland Trail Blazers fell short of a comeback in a 121-118 loss to the Toronto Raptors.

On the other side, Scottie Barnes led Toronto with a 28-point performance. […]
