The big blueliner is coming off his best all around season, and despite a tr...

Injuries. They are going to happen. Probably at the worst time and to the player the Toronto Maple Leafs need the most. Call me pessimistic, but 2025-26’s disappearances of Auston Matthews, Chris Tanev, and Anthony Stolarz should have the team planning out their contingencies in advance. Enter the AHL veterans. Not quite “prospects” like TLN…

That was stressful, especially after yesterday’s nightmare ending. It was close all game, with the Jays just edging out to what seemed like a comfortable lead in the late innings before nearly throwing it all away again in the ninth.

I will fully admit that I am befuddled when it comes to what Rogers Communications is doing with its hockey broadcasts. Aside from raising prices to drive away subscribers and killing access to NHL hockey by eliminating CBC as a partner, their most recent decision to not renew Kelly Hrudey's contract seems to be another boneheaded decision from the TV network gatekeeping hockey in Canada. Hrudey worked Calgary Flames broadcasts on Sportsnet during the week before travelling to Toronto to jo...
