3 d. ago When will the Rogers Centre's dome be open for Toronto Blue Jays games?

It could be said that there are two unofficial Opening Days for Toronto Blue Jays games.Of course, there's the actual Opening Day, where Toronto plays their first home regular season game of the year, usually in March when temperatures are still hovering around zero.And then, somewhere between four and eight weeks later, there's the second, perhaps more anticipated, Opening Day, where the Rogers Centre roof is opened for the first time each season.Famously known as the world's first retractable roof on a sporting venue when it opened in 1989, the Rogers Centre's precipitation control mechanism may not be as awe-inspiring as it once was.But it's still a staple of Toronto culture, and could be making its debut this week. While Toronto has already seen two of its road games this season be delayed and eventually postponed by inclement weather, that hasn't been a problem in Toronto for most of the franchise's history.Sportsnet's Joe Siddall was among those...

4 d. ago Toronto Maple Leafs' biggest star conspicuously absent from practice ahead of huge game

The Toronto Maple Leafs were without their biggest star at Monday morning's practice.Though the Leafs are officially citing "rest" as the reason for his absence, Auston Matthews raised a few eyebrows by sitting out of the team's skate one day ahead of Tuesday’s Game 5 at Scotiabank Arena.Matthews' absence does at least raise a few preliminary questions about whether he's operating at full health, or perhaps dealing with a lingering issue.Given that the Leafs took Sunday off following a 4-3 overtime loss on Saturday to give the Ottawa Senators their first win of the series, it is a bit curious that Matthews needs a rest day.With NHL teams being notoriously tight-lipped about player health status, particularly in the playoffs, we likely won't get a good answer as to what exactly is going on with Toronto's captain.Matthews has one goal and four assists in four games so far for the Leafs.A year removed from a franchise-record settin...
