Vlad Guerrero Jr., he always looks good... That man is motivated. That man, as we saw in the postseason, the entire world got a glimpse of what Toronto fans already knew. He is not just a hitter. He is not just a power hitter... He is an above-average defender at first base, and he is an excellent baserunner, as well.
With that, it ultimately concludes what has turned out to be a brutal 2025-26 campaign for Tanev and the Maple Leafs where he had spent more time on the sidelines than on the ice. The 36-year-old defenseman had missed almost two months of action earlier in the season due to a concussion. Following his return in late December, Tanev would subsequently suffer another groin injury just a few days later and had been on the injured reserve ever since.
The architectural proposal organizes new construction and heritage structures into a cohesive campus, establishing visual and physical connections between the city and Lake Ontario. By consolidating the five existing Pods, the Cinesphere, and the new building into a unified spatial framework, the design reinforces the waterfront's civic identity while reinterpreting Ontario Place's original ambition as a landscape for public learning, innovation, and recreation.

Fire crews at the scene determined a man was stuck in an excavation hole 12 feet down and was trapped by their foot, Toronto Fire told CBC News. They said crews are setting up a trench rescue, which will secure the walls on either side of the person, before they can pull them out.
Regardless of the manner of his departure, Josh has been a significant part of the club's recent story, contributing greatly and captaining the team on many occasions, Norwich sporting director Ben Knapper said in a statement.

Mother Nature hasn't given us a break but as soon as there is an opportunity, city crews will do a blitz. The city's 2026 budget includes an increase from $5.5 million to $6.2 million for pothole repairs, reflecting the ongoing challenge of maintaining road infrastructure during harsh winter conditions.
With its floor-to-ceiling glass walls and timber-clad ceilings, it was the only place in the ice hockey rivals' lives where curtains didn't have to be drawn. It was here, in the season finale (titled The Cottage) that the heat of their rivalry finally cooled into something meaningful.

A second-round pick of the Anaheim Ducks in 2018, Groulx had spent his entire career with the Ducks before signing a deal with the Maple Leafs over the summer of 2025. He hasn't been able to figure it out at the NHL level yet, with only one goal and five points across 65 games over three seasons with the Ducks, but he's been a dominant presence for the Marlies thus far.
No matter how you spin it, Jakob Poeltl having only played 22 games so far in the 2025-26 season is far from the return on investment that not only the Raptors' front office expected but also the Raptors' fanbase. I get that injuries are just part of the game and that you can't fully prepare for these unforeseen circumstances. Still, there's not much substance in using that as an excuse to justify what has mostly been a blunder for the Raptors lately.
The Toronto Blue Jays are continuing to add to try and raise the competitive floor of their roster before Opening Day. The latest move, a waiver claim, brings in a 26-year-old infielder who is still looking to make his major league debut and probably reminds Blue Jays fans of a current fan favourite. On Wednesday (Feb. 18) the club announced they had claimed Ben Cowles off waivers from the Chicago Cubs. The NL Central division team had to designate Cowles for assignment a few days ago after they added Shelby Miller to the roster. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays placed pitcher Bowden Francis on the 60-day injured list.

Welcome back to our second segment of Meet the Buyers series. After our first stop highlighted the Carolina Hurricanes, we head northwest to check in on the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers have been heavily linked to the Maple Leafs as a prime trade partner, and while we aren't expecting a deal to be announced as soon as the Olympic roster freeze concludes on February 23, don't be surprised to see these two teams do business together ahead of the Mar.6 trade deadline.
With this early-spring trade, the organization is mortgaging Loperfido's long-term potential - a low-cost asset with five additional seasons of club control - in favour of short-term certainty in Sánchez, who features another arbitration-eligible season in 2027 before hitting free agency. It provides this lineup, now without Anthony Santander (left shoulder surgery), with a known commodity that can help address a particular need - power.
