3 d. ago Analytics site thinks Toronto Maple Leafs will win Stanley Cup

The Toronto Maple Leafs, by definition, are the closest team to a Stanley Cup right now.Though they're facing a slight advantage over six other NHL teams by being the only second-round series to have gotten underway thus far, the Leafs took one step closer to Lord Stanley's mug on Monday night.Picking up a 5-4 win over the defending Stanley Cup Florida Panthers in Game 1 of a rematch of the 2023 second round, Toronto became the first team this postseason to pick up five wins.And the victory not only moved Toronto closer to winning the series, but actually edged them into Stanley Cup favourites, according to a popular analytics site.By way of MoneyPuck.com's predictive odds for the rest of the postseason, the Leafs now have the NHL's best odds at 17.7 per cent chance of breaking their Stanley Cup curse.Per the MoneyPuck model, Toronto had started the night with 13.9 per cent odds, third in the league behind Florida at 16.3 per cent and Carolina at 14 per cent.The bett...

The Toronto Maple Leafs might not ever seem to have the hockey gods in their corner, but they'll always have one thing most teams don't: Justin Bieber cheering them on.For Bieber, a longtime friend of several Leafs players (most notably Auston Matthews), a die-hard fan of the team, a celebrity team captain at the 2024 NHL All-Star Game in Toronto, and a collaborator on an official alternate jersey with the team, showing his support to Toronto isn't exactly new.But perhaps like any true Leafs fan, he's getting his confidence up after a few playoff wins, believing that this could finally be Toronto's chance to break their Stanley Cup curse since 1967."New series starts tonight. This is the yearski," Bieber posted to his Instagram feed on Monday morning, sharing a series of photos of Leafs logos.(For the uninitiated, "yearski" is pretty much a play on the way hockey players tend to speak to each other, adding extra syllables to the end of many wo...

8 d. ago Toronto Maple Leafs break 'cursed' narrative and close out Senators series

The Toronto Maple Leafs will be playing a little bit longer this spring.Facing off against the Ottawa Senators in Game 6 of their first-round series, the Leafs certainly made Thursday night one to remember.Max Pacioretty's first goal of the playoffs late in the third period — followed by a William Nylander empty-netter — gave Toronto a 4-2 win to knock off the Ottawa Senators and give the franchise just their second playoff series win since 2004.With Toronto winning the first three games of the series (two in overtime), they made their fans sweat by allowing Ottawa to come out victorious in the next two.For any longtime Leafs fan, the familiar feelings of existential dread, cursing of one's family lineage, and wondering who exactly to blame for the supposed cursed nature of their franchise began to set in. After Toronto was held scoreless in Game 5 in a 4-0 loss, it was easy to wonder if another all-time collapse was on the way.Auston Matthews broke the deadlock ...

1 week 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...
