The Toronto Maple Leafs are not in a good place right now, and if things don't start to change for the better, there will be more changes, probably starting with the head coach and not just assistant coach Marc Savard. Toronto is one game over .500, sit second last in the Eastern Conference in a tight race where every team is at least .500, and are five points back of a playoff spot after their latest win. But the Maple Leafs have lost five of their past seven games and have been inconsistent ...

Right now, on Christmas Eve, the biggest sports star in the city of Chicago is Caleb Williams. Full stop. His Ice-Man antics and explosive talent have filled a vacuum this city has been missing for a loooooooong time. And beating the Packers in overtime (the way he did on Saturday night) gave him an early career-defining moment we’ll probably never forget.
