Welcome to the Game Day Thread for the games in the week of 4/6. Pretty good week last week although the second period seems to be our kryptonite. Four games this week and we need some points in all. Still looking like a photo finish for that second wild card spot. Only a few more killer late starts (really killer for those of us in the Eastern Time Zone) and then we’ll finish out at home.
Just a reminder – we’re always looking for new people to chat with and to be part of our community. ...
Bruce Cassidy is looking for work after being fired by the Vegas Golden Knights. However, if one team offers him a coaching position this summer, reports are he's likely going to hold off, and look elsewhere. Insert the Toronto Maple Leafs. A team that has limited direction at the moment and is in search of a new general manager, after Brad Treliving was recently fired. There's speculation brewing that CEO Keith Pelley is also going to let Craig Berube go at the end of the season, and if there...
The next Leafs boss needs to have the right opinion on Python vs R.
The Toronto Maple Leafs had a very up and down season and their inconsistencies were felt throughout their entire lineup. Forward Nick Robertson was one Maple Leaf who wasn't able to produce throughout the entire season, and heading into the offseason, there's a good chance Robertson is moved. The former second-round pick asked for a trade last offseason, but Brad Treliving denied the request and signed him to a one-year deal. Head coach Craig Berube doesn't fully trust Robertson, so even thou...
With the Toronto Maple Leafs having such a frustrating 2025-26 season, it is very likely that they will be making several changes to their roster this offseason. One trade candidate who should be watched closely during the offseason is defenseman Simon Benoit. Due to this, let's take a look at three teams that could look to acquire Benoit during the summer now. San Jose Sharks The Sharks should be on the hunt for defensive help this offseason, as they have several pending UFA bluel...
1. Big 4th Quarter Through the first three quarters of this game the Celtics looked like they were stuck in mud when it came to their offense. After having some huge first halves in back to back games, Boston only had 80 points going into the fourth quarter, keeping Toronto in the game. The Celtics […]
BOSTON — Nikola Vučević rejoined the Boston Celtics for Easter Sunday’s matchup against the Toronto Raptors. That was the plan, set nearly a month ago when he underwent surgery to stabilize his fractured right finger on March 7. At that time, Vučević had logged 12 appearances since being acquired at February’s trade deadline. He played […]
It wasn’t pretty, but the Celtics started their final stretch at TD Garden with a 115-101 win over the Raptors. Jaylen Brown was a driving machine, Jayson Tatum held court as Boston’s primary playmaker and nearly racked up another triple-double, and Nikola Vucevic returned with mixed results. Toronto could potentially be a first round opponent […]
It was an eventful long weekend for Jays news. The big one was that Alejandro Kirk fractured and dislocated his thumb on an Austin Hays foul tip late in Friday’s game. His actual prognosis won’t be known until he meets with specialists on Monday. In the best case scenario, though, it’ll be several weeks before […]
On March 6, the Flyers found themselves six points out of a wildcard spot, and eight points back of the Islanders with two games in hand. Detroit were 10 points ahead of them. With just 67 points, Philadelphia had to overtake Washington, Columbus, and Ottawa just to get to the second wildcard position. They were a meddling 4-4-2 over their previous 10 games. And had Florida, Toronto, and New Jersey just two to three points back. At the time, many hoped the Flyers would end up sinking further, ...
By golly, they actually did it! For the first time since 2004, the White Sox have swept their home opening series, by virtue of a 3-0 win over the Blue Jays. It what might have been Chicago’s cleanest game of the season so far—no errors, no baserunning mishaps, and most importantly, not a single blemish […]
Jaylen Brown’s 26 points led the Boston Celtics to a 115-101 win over the Toronto Raptors on Easter Sunday at TD Garden, completing the team’s 4-0 season sweep over its division rival. That “rivalry” has been pretty lopsided in recent years. Boston has gone 15-1 against Toronto over the past four regular seasons and has […]
This series has been pretty grim. The pitching hasn’t been awful, one significant meltdown notwithstanding, but the offence largely hasn’t shown up against a pretty bad pitching staff, and now the Jays find themselves on a 1-5 skid and below .500 for the season. In case the results weren’t enough, Addison Barger had to leave […]
The last of our three-game series with the White Sox. I am in Nagasaki, Japan today. This is going be one of those heavy days that we sometimes get on holidays. The US dropped an A-bomb on the city near the end of the Second World War. We have been to a few of these […]
Spread the word — the White Sox are on a winning streak! Just when it looked like things were as bad as ever or even worse, the Sox have begun to show some life as they’ve taken their season back home to Chicago. Now, after back-to-back wins over the defending American League champions, they’re on […]

A mere 156 days after hoisting a championship trophy on the field at Rogers Centre, the Dodgers will be back in Toronto on Monday to battle the Blue Jays in the opener of a three-game series. Justin Wrobleski, who got four outs in relief in Game 7 and during the World Series pitched five scoreless […]
Sounds like Scott Laughton's stay in Los Angeles is going to be a short one. The Kings center was acquired ahead of the trade deadline from the Toronto Maple Leafs, and there's been a ton of speculation that Laughton would be looking to re-join the Leafs once free agency opens July 1. Maple Leafs head coach spoke about Laughton's future, which is a rare scene in the NHL to see another head coach talking about an opposing player re-joining this team in a couple of months. “I could see it, for s...
Today, the Toronto Raptors have another opportunity to see if they have what it takes to beat a contender in the Boston Celtics. Both teams have five games left in the regular season. While the teams who will appear in some type of playoff contention are set, it’s still unclear how exactly the seeding will […]
The Colorado Rockies finished their first week and have scored 26 total runs. While that sounds like a good amount, 14 of those runs came in Monday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Otherwise, they’ve been held to 12 total runs and have been held to three or fewer runs in every other game. They’re […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs should be making multiple changes to their roster after their disappointing 2025-26 season. One trade candidate who should be watched during the offseason is goaltender Anthony Stolarz. With the Maple Leafs now having a surplus of NHL-caliber goalies, the possibility of Stolarz getting dealt during the summer should not be ruled out. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could look to acquire Stolarz during the offseason. Philadelphia Flyers Could ...
Emerson Hancock gave up a home run to Zach Neto on the first batter he faced Saturday. It was the only run of the game. The home run was the first hit Hancock allowed in 2026. He threw six no-hit innings with nine strikeouts last week against the Guardians in his season debut. He looked […]
Do you feel déjà vu? As was often the case in the two series against the Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays, the Colorado Rockies wasted wonderful pitching with atrocious hitting. Strikeouts and men left on base loomed large, as the Rox had their chances only to come up just one run short as the […]
