The Blue Jays serve as the hosts for the first few games, winning 94 games in the regular season to the Dodgers’ 93. After Toronto’s achingly close series against the […]
With Philippe Myers and Dakota Mermis stepping in for the injured Morgan Rielly and Chris Tanev, and a new mix of combinations up front, the Maple Leafs’ lineup is significantly changed as they try to get back on track against the Buffalo Sabres (7:00 p.m. EST, Sportsnet Ontario).

It’s time to crown a 2025 champion. Who will it be, Toronto or Los Angeles? Let’s discuss.
The road trip will not get easier for the San Jose Sharks, as the team heads to New Jersey for the second half of the back-to-backs. The Sharks will face the red hot New Jersey Devils tonight, a team that’s 6-1-0 for the season. New Jersey is at the top of the Metropolitan Division and hasn’t lost since the first game of the season, a 6-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. Since then, the Devils have rolled through the Lightning, Blue Jackets, Panthers, Oilers, Maple Leafs and Wild, outscoring t...
Ahead of Friday’s game in Buffalo, Craig Berube discussed his expectations for the Matthews-Nylander and Tavares-Knies pairs, Easton Cowan re-entering the lineup, and Nick Robertson sitting out as a healthy scratch. Game Day Lines – October 24 Leafs lines at practice McMann – Matthews – NylanderKnies – Tavares – MaccelliJoshua – Roy – Cowan Lorentz […] The post Craig Berube on healthy scratching Nick Robertson in Buffalo: “He’s getting chances to score, but he has to bury them… He’ll be fine...
After an ultimately disappointing 2024-25 season for the Toronto Marlies, many players will be looking for a bounce-back effort in the 2025-26 campaign. One prospect certainly in need of a rebound season is Ryan Tverberg. The Ontario native enters the final year of his entry-level contract with much to prove to himself and the organization. […] The post Ryan Tverberg: In search of a rebound to rekindle rookie season form appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
The first Blue Jays World Series game in 32 years is tonight. There are only a few guys on the team who could have watched the last one: Max Scherzer, George Springer, Chris Bassitt, Kevin Gausman, Tommy Nance, Tyler Heineman…Jeff Hoffman would have been 9 months old. Scherzer would be the only one who might […]
The Dodgers have settled into a fairly regular lineup, especially with no more opposing left-handed starters to face. Their lineup in Game 1 of the World Series against the Blue Jays on Friday night at Rogers Centre in Toronto features the same starting nine players for a fifth straight game. Shohei Ohtani leads off, which […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs have been without goaltender Joseph Woll due to a leave of absence, but great news for them as he is rejoining the team and will resume activities. The Toronto Maple Leafs announced today that goaltender Joseph Woll is rejoining the team and will resume team activities and on-ice participation as part of the return-to-play process. — Leafs PR (@LeafsPR) October 24, 2025 Anthony Stolarz has been holding down the net and playing pretty well, but has already called out the...
We have a Fall Classic matchup between the National League’s chalk pick and one of the more surprising American League winners, at least based on preseason projections. The Toronto Blue Jays will welcome the reigning and defending World Series champion Dodgers tonight for the first Fall Classic in Canada since 1993, and the big face-off […]
Second verse, same as the first. (Hopefully). Tonight, the Los Angeles Dodgers look to finish what they started, defending their World Series title from 2024. They will face the Toronto Blue Jays in what is shaping up to be a battle of the most annoying cliches and narratives. USA vs. Canada. Good vs Evil. David […]
Or is that Ottawa, and Buffalo is their third home?
After a thrilling win (or crushing defeat for Mariners fans), the Toronto Blue Jays earned the right to meet the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2025 World Series. The Blue Jays will make their first appearance in the World Series since 1993, when they won 4-2 over the Phillies. For those counting at home, it’s […]
The 2025 World Series kicks off tonight, pairing the reigning champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers, against the surprise AL-winners, the Toronto Blue Jays (the only team that makes the “World” Series remotely international). It should be an exciting showdown of generational talent, and a chance to see Clayton Kershaw’s final major league appearances (his inclusion […]
For the Astros’ fan, deprived of any meaningful games since late September, this World Series might not seem worth watching. Hard to blame the Houston fan for thinking that. The only notable Astros news centers on the purges of coaches/trainers and the signing of a depth piece at pitcher. Still, a World Series is a […]
It’s a huge day in Toronto sports history, but for the Raptors, it’s just game no. 2 of 82. The Toronto Raptors will welcome the Milwaukee Bucks at Scotiabank Arena for their home opener tonight, but the attention of everyone will be just two blocks down the street. With the Blue Jays playing game 1 […]
I figured Bo Bichette was going to be on the roster. Ty France was a surprise, but I guess they want him as a pitch hitter against the Dodgers left-hander pitchers. Joey Loperfido and Yariel Rodriguez. Rodriguez has had a tough time of it lately, giving up three earned and two home runs in one […]
The Milwaukee Bucks secured an opening-night win over the Washington Wizards, 133-120, but now they face their first road test of the season, traveling north of the border to take on the Toronto Raptors. Milwaukee took the season series against Toronto last year, 3-0. The last time these two teams met was January 17, when […]
Happy Friday A’s fans! The 2025 World Series begins tonight in Toronto as the Blue Jays host the Los Angeles Dodgers for the first game of the series. As the #1 seed the Jays get home-field advantage thus getting to host the first two games before the series shifts to LA. Still, let there be […]
Chris Colabello turns 42 today. The Blue Jays picked up Chris off waivers from the Twins before the 2015 season. In two seasons with the Twins, he hit .214/.284/.364, with 13 home runs in 114 games. So we can be excused for not being excited about a 31-year-old who could play first or DH but […]
Big Dumper, we hardly knew ye. Yes, I know I’m a hockey columnist, and we’ll get to that. But the big news up in Canada these days is all about baseball, with the Blue Jays dramatic Game 7 win over the Mariners on Monday sending them to the World Series, which starts tonight in Toronto. It won’t shock you to learn that I’m a Blue Jays fan and have been since I was a little kid, so I’m obviously thrilled to see the team make it back to the top of the mountain after three decades. But I ha...
In the off chance you weren’t aware, the World Series officially begins tonight when the Toronto Blue Jays host the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the best of seven series. Blake Snell will take the mound for the Dodgers against Trey Yesavage for the Blue Jays at 8pm tonight. The Dodgers are looking to […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The world’s biggest Toronto Blue Jays fan has arrived to discuss tonight’s World Series Game 1 between the Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers from the Rogers Centre in Toronto. Taking the mound for the Dodgers will be left-hander and former/not-forever Giant Blake Snell, who finished the regular season with […]
Today is the big day! The World Series kicks off this weekend between the predicted juggernauts the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the surprise AL win-leaders the Toronto Blue Jays. While Cubs fans would much rather they were still in the mix, and Mariners fans are still mourning their best postseason run yet, there will be […]
