Curse of the SEGABABA!

When Marco Rossi scored a goal to put the Minnesota Wild ahead 1-0 in the fourth round of the shootout, all eyes went back to the other end of the ice. How would Jesper Wallstedt -- who'd already turned away Adrian Kempe, Trevor Moore, and Kevin Fiala -- hold up in a huge-pressure situation?

It's SEGABABA time.
Well, 1-2-0 isn’t the start you draw up, especially when you’re swept in a home-and-home with a division rival. But it’s too early to panic. It would be one thing if the Leafs’ top players were producing and they were losing games, but the opposite has been true so far. William Nylander put his first […]

Morning everyone! Rise and shine! Yesterday we were treated to a pair of LCS playoff games and boy was it interesting. The Athletics’ division rivals the Seattle Mariners came out swinging in Toronto, beating the Blue Jays 10-3 and giving themselves a huge 2-0 series lead. Even better for the M’s, they won both games […]
The Maple Leafs were hard done by in this 3-2 regulation loss to Detroit, but they also need more out of the top of their lineup. The Leafs were again guilty of some sloppy puck play in the early parts of this game. They started with a couple of icings by the top line, then […]

Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 3-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 1-2-0.

After twice falling behind by three goals in Friday evening’s season opener in Rochester, a sharp goaltending performance from Dennis Hildeby ensured the Toronto Marlies didn’t suffer the same fate in their home-opening rematch against the Amerks.

This is not a thoughtful and incisive overview of the ALCS and NLCS. I was looking up some things yesterday and figured I'd share them rather than not. First of all, I was extremely pleased to watch the Blue Jays hardly break a sweat while humiliating the Yankees. But then I thought . . . shit, the Blue Jays are now really close to going to the World Series. . . . which means they could actually win the World Series. . . . But then I thought, I no longer live outside To...

The 2025-26 NHL Regular Season is well underway, and while it wasn’t exactly the start that head coach Todd McLellan wanted in his first official “home opener” since taking the job, the veteran coach is probably resting a little easier this Sunday after the Red Wings handled their business against the Toronto Maple Leafs at LCA Saturday night.

After winning their home opener, the Maple Leafs carried the same lineup into this game on the road. In Detroit, it was a different story. Not only did the Red Wings lose their home opener, but they got crushed to the point where they were booed off the ice (it doesn’t only happen in Toronto, […]

This game meant nothing and didn't show us much. Brown and White sat out and all of the Raptors starters sat out. The Celtics built a 26 point lead while their starters played but the end of the bench guys couldn't hold it and staged a basketball giveaway in the 4th quarter. It was an entertaining game and I'm liking what I see from Garza, Minott, Boucher and Gonzalez. I liked how much they still like Boucher. And love that they think of Pritchard as a Raptors Kil...
