Latest blog entries from Toronto teams across every league
Coming into 2025, Bo Bichette had spent seven seasons with the Blue Jays (one of them was a Covid-shortened season). All of them were good, until 2024. He had received MVP votes in 2021, 22 and 23. He led the league in hits. Then came 2024. He went from a 4.8 bWAR in 2023 to […]
You don’t want to overstate the importance of game 17 of 82, but in the current context, this rematch against Boston is a big one for the Maple Leafs (7:00 p.m. EST, TSN4). Feels like an unreasonably big game tonight. Leafs have already been swept in a home+home with DET, & BUF took 3 of […] The post Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Boston Bruins – Game #17 Projected Lines, Preview & TV Info appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
Ahead of Tuesday’s game in Boston, Craig Berube discussed the defensive adjustments after a leaky weekend, his team’s buy-in defensively, and the decision not to make a change on the blue line against the Bruins. How did you go about resetting the group after the losses over the weekend? What are the key areas of […] The post Craig Berube on whether the Leafs have bought into his message defensively: “The buy-in is there… The consistency is not there” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
You may vaguely remember that, a few years ago, there were stray rumors about the possibility the Cubs could try to trade for Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette, rather than signing one of the big shortstops available in free agency at the time. The Cubs, of course, went on to sign Dansby Swanson. A year later, there were stray rumors about whether the Cubs might try again to trade for Bichette, this time to play third base. There hasn’t been much there since, in part because Bichette had su...
When you eat an Oreo cookie, which part do you prefer? Are you like my wife and eat the cookies or do you want all the sugary goodness in the middle like me? Whatever your choice (you’re hungry now), I may have to change mine. Temporarily. The week ahead for the Raptors sees a pair […]
Yet another opportunity to get it together.
Welcome to the second edition of Tuesday Top Ten, an offseason series which attempts to rank specific moments, players, games, or other nostalgic occurrences from throughout Mets history. The previous ranking looked at the Mets’ best World Series performers as the Blue Jays and Dodgers battled for a championship. With the offseason officially underway, this […]
If you can’t defend, you can’t win. The Brooklyn Nets learned that lesson once again as they allowed the New York Knicks to put on a three point extravaganza at Madison Square Garden on the way to a comfortable 33 point victory. The opponent tonight is a bit better than expected. The Toronto Raptors are […]
I absolutely did not remember that Rookie of the Year was being announced yesterday. If I had, a variant of the title of this post would’ve been yesterday’s question. At that time, whether justice would prevail or not was still uncertain. Right now, we can all celebrate. Something good happened this year, hooray. But, what […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs need a jolt up front, but it will not be Jordan Kyrou. On The Jeff Marek Show , insider Jeff Marek flatly said there is no chance the St. Louis Blues winger lands in Toronto. Marek pointed to the obvious complication. Craig Berube is the Maple Leafs head coach and he previously coached Kyrou in St. Louis. That history makes a reunion in Toronto highly unlikely. Why Jeff Marek Shut the Door on a Leafs Move for Kyrou Marek noted that Toronto could use Kyro...

The Toronto Raptors played back-to-back road games in Atlanta and Philadelphia over the weekend, winning a crucial NBA Cup game on Friday and losing to the 76ers on Saturday. Yet, one of the biggest narratives to come from the weekend was an incident involving Brandon Ingram. Now, the NBA has announced Ingram will be fined […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs have to figure things out with David Kampf, as he is headed in a direction where he will be playing on a different NHL team this season with an opportunity to be in the NHL. With how the Maple Leafs are set up, Kampf was the odd man out and found himself in the AHL. Chris Johnston said, "Not too many teams are eager to take on his contract...the Leafs are not in the mood to just take back some garbage contract." Toronto has just over $1 million in cap space to use and K...

Bad weekend, or bad omen? That’s the big question for the Maple Leafs right now. Entering the weekend fresh off five wins in their past six games, the Leafs were swept in a back-to-back at home. The first loss came against an undermanned Boston team missing its top center and best defenseman, in a game […] The post The Leafs need to stop trying to outscore their problems and start solving them – Leafs Notebook appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
“[Lehigh] carried the play in the first 10 minutes. I thought Joe [Woll] made some really big saves. Then, we scored the first goal at the end of the period. We had a really poor second period. [Lehigh] played well, but I thought we gave them a lot.” – John Gruden on the Marlies’ 3-2 […] The post Joseph Woll sharp in return to action, Toronto Marlies’ three-game winning streak ends in Lehigh appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
On November 10th in 1996, Ron Hextall of the Philadelphia Flyers skated the length of the ice to engage netminder Felix Potvin when a melee broke out at the end of a match against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Hextall was met with a willing and able opponent who quickly bloodied the Flyer backstop with a serious of blows to the left eye. Not surprisingly, the Philadelphia feed (below) hailed
Coming off an excellent 2024 season, and six seasons into his career, with free agency a possibility after the 2025 season, we were all wondering what 2025 would bring. We knew he was going to get a big payday at some point this year. Either from the Blue Jays or from someone else after the […]
Bobby McMann trade chatter could start picking up in Toronto after fresh speculation from Sportsnet’s James Mirtle . The Toronto Maple Leafs winger has struggled to match last season’s 20-goal pace, and with his contract coming due, the team must decide if he is part of their long-term core or a useful trade asset while his value remains intact. In 16 games this season, the 29-year-old has recorded three goals and six points while posting 43 hits and 14:55 average time on ice. Last...
This was an ugly weekend of hockey for the Maple Leafs. Process-wise, this 5-4 loss to Carolina was more akin to an 8-3 blowout than it was a one-goal hockey game in which Matthew Knies and William Nylander both had empty-net looks in the third period that, if converted, would’ve salvaged a point for the […] The post Game Review: Craig Berube searching for answers after wretched weekend for the Maple Leafs appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
