The Toronto Maple Leafs showed plenty of fight against Utah on Tuesday night, but they couldn’t quite finish the job. After falling behind 3-0, Toronto battled back, created chances, and…
The Toronto Maple Leafs were dealt an injury blow on Saturday night when defenceman Chris Tanev left Saturday’s 6-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche with an upper-body injury and did not return. Two days later, Tanev was placed on injured reserve, retroactive to October 10, and leaves a hole on the Maple Leafs blue line….

The Toronto Maple Leafs are thin on their blueline, after defensive defenceman Chris Tanev recently went down with an upper-body injury. Considering Tanev's health history, there's some cause for concern in Toronto, and general manager John Chayka is going to have to trade for some help if Tanev is expected to miss a couple of months. So far, no word on confirmed timelines, but again, it didn't look good. Chayka has been wheeling and dealing since he took over this past offseason, and it's obv...

Eleven Years Ago Today: Between this moment and Joe Carter’s iconic home run, I can’t decide which stands out as my favorite in Blue Jays history. You probably recall the details, but from the recap: The top of the 7th was nuts. I’m not sure I can explain it all. Aaron Sanchez came in, replacing […]

Williams is off to a hot start on the score sheet, but how does he look outside of the points?
Seeing Kawhi Leonard in a Raptors jersey again is naturally going to bring back memories of 2019. That season, there was no question who Toronto’s best player was. When a possession broke down or a playoff game tightened up, the answer was usually simple: get Kawhi the ball and let him figure it out. Seven […]
Whether it’s the preseason or the regular season, Ben Stiller loves the New York Knicks, and he was rooting hard for the team as they lost to the Toronto Raptors by 50 points. At 7:13 pm EST, just minutes into the Knicks-Raptors game, Stiller took to X, formerly Twitter, to deliver a hype message, writing, […]

Kawhi Leonard's Raptors return was electric, but he played mostly off the ball, leaving me concerned about his involvement in the offense.
Although the Toronto Maple Leafs staged a valiant third-period comeback, it wasn’t enough to defeat the Utah Mammoth, falling 5-4 to conclude a three-game road trip. Auston Matthews and John Tavares were Toronto’s best skaters, each registering a goal and an assist. Jack Roslovic scored during the second period, while Gavin McKenna’s third-period marker cut…
The Toronto Raptors routed the New York Knicks 148-98 on Tuesday, October 13, at Scotiabank Arena, winning by 50 points in Kawhi Leonard’s preseason debut.

The Maple Leafs showed their offensive prowess and a refusal to go away in Utah, nearly erasing a three-goal third-period deficit, but another rough second period and some terrible goaltending left them with too much to overcome in a 5-4 loss. I liked the Leafs’ pace, effort, and forechecking at times in the first period, […]

Kawhi Leonard reviews his preseason debut with Raptors after 50-point blowout win over the Knicks.
The Toronto Raptors are entering the 2026-27 season as a dark-horse contender after trading for Kawhi Leonard and essentially rescuing him from a sinking Los Angeles Clippers ship. Leonard gives the Raptors a legitimate number one option on offense, and his history of being an elite defender makes him a perfect fit for what Toronto […]

It’s not fair to pin the blame for a loss entirely on one person. Hockey is a team effort, and it’s about picking each other up when you struggle. That said, Anthony Stolarz owns a large portion of the blame for the way things went in the Toronto Maple Leafs‘ 5-4 loss to the Utah…
Kawhi Leonard's first game back with the Toronto Raptors—after what was a very eventful summer—went off without a hitch.
The Toronto Raptors may have been facing the New York Knicks’ C-Team, but that wasn’t why fans packed the Scotiabank Arena on Tuesday. New York could’ve grabbed randoms off NBA Twitter and the electricity in the building would’ve remained. Here are a few thoughts and quotes to drop in your group chat after the Raptors […]
