After sustaining a torn ACL and undergoing surgery in September, both fans and media alike assumed Fred would be out for the entire 2025-2026 season. However, neither Houston nor VanVleet has ruled out a possible return. In the first episode of his podcast, Unguarded, Fred was asked about returning before or during the 2026 NBA […]
With an important two points on the line in this divisional matchup between two under-performing rivals, this was a complete team effort on the road from the Maple Leafs.

A lot of good […] The post Craig Berube on a big win in Florida for the Maple Leafs: “Probably one of the fastest-paced games we’ve played all year” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
It’s the beginning of a week-plus long home stand for the Toronto Raptors, as they welcomed the Portland Trail Blazers to Scotiabank Arena Tuesday night. After losing in back-to-back games against Charlotte and New York on the road this weekend, the Raptors got the news that Scottie Barnes was the Eastern Conference’s Defensive Player of […]
The Portland Trail Blazers treated their Tuesday evening game with the Toronto Raptors like a cat treats the back door. In it. Out of it. In it again. Out of it again. Like a proper feline, though, the Blazers ended up not only in it, but ready to jump on the counter for a proper […]
The Portland Trail Blazers fell short of a comeback in a 121-118 loss to the Toronto Raptors.

Another notable starting pitcher is off the board, and although it’s not another guy at the top of the market, it *IS* another Toronto Blue Jays signing. I guess coming within a foot of winning the World Series makes you extra hungry. Cody Ponce is coming back from Asia, and he’s doubled the record for pitchers coming back to MLB straight from Korea: Right-hander Cody Ponce and the Toronto Blue Jays are finalizing a three-year, $30 million contract, pending physical, sources tell ESP...
The Blue Jays have signed Cody Ponce who pitched in the KBO last year. Cody went 17-1 with a 1.89 ERA and was the KBO’s MVP. He’s a RHP, 31 years old. He adds to a deep starting rotation, unless they see him as a reliever. He played for the Pirates in 2020 and 2021. […]

Brad Marchand loves to play the Toronto Maple Leafs, and apparently, he loves to defend them as well. Ahead of the Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers matchup on Tuesday night, Marchand spoke with the media, and essentially bashed all the 'haters' who feel the Maple Leafs are not a playoff team. Marchand made it very clear, he still feels they are, and everyone shouldn't be writing them off in December. "What are we, 25 games in? If you think that your playoff dreams are done 25 games in, you've ...

Everyone is hungry for points.
The baseball free agent signing frenzy hasn’t taken off yet. After the Blue Jays signed Dylan Cease for seven years and $210 million, which seems like an overpay, there are a few free agents who could help the Royals. Kyle Tucker, Bo Bichette, and Alex Bregman are among the remaining big names. There are a […]
Welcome to the second quarter of the season! Blowing the lead in Charlotte on Saturday, then getting blown out in New York on Sunday should not change your opinion on how the Raptors performed over the first 21 games. By winning 2 of every 3 games and getting the 14th victory two months (or 27 […]

The Jays signed Max Scherzer to a one-year contract in February of this year. For one-year and $15.5 million. At 40, it wasn’t bad money, even for a future Hall of Famer. In 2024, he started nine games for the Rangers, and, since the Jays had a number of starting pitchers, they could afford to […]

This past week was pretty busy when it comes to news and updates for Toronto's prospects, plus some small notes I didn't get from the previous week.
The NHL's trade market has picked up in a major way, and expect to see some action in the very near future. GM's around the league now have a pretty good idea of what their team's makeup is, as the American Thanksgiving milestone weekend has passed, and with the Christmas holiday break coming up, this is usually when we see a few trades trickle in before the calendar flips to the new year. According to hockey insider Chris Johnston, there's three teams to be on the lookout for: Chris Joh...
