Markedly improved Blue Jays close out first half with blowout win over Red Sox

11 hours ago | sportsnet.ca | Arden Zwelling

BOSTON — Friday night, at somewhere around 8:00 p.m. ET, give or take, the 2025 MLB regular season crossed its halfway mark. Through 81 games last season, the Toronto Blue Jays were 38-43 with a minus-36 run differential, sitting dead last in the AL East by 13 games and a dozen back of the third wild-card spot. Toronto’s offence was bottom-five across MLB in runs scored and its pitching staff had a bottom-10 ERA at 4.14. Only one Blue Jay — Daulton Varsho — had an fWAR above 1.7.A year later?
Canucks' trade for Evander Kane a huge risk-reward move

VANCOUVER – To get to the ice in the National Hockey League, you have to go through the dressing room. This routing complicates the Evander Kane trade. For the miniscule price of a fourth-round draft pick, the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday acquired the 33-year-old Kane, an East Vancouver kid, to bring his combination of skill and snarl to a team that needs both.
Canada gets back on course, keeps composure to beat El Salvador in ugly Gold Cup contest

Rome is crumbling. The sky is falling. The world is coming to an end. None of that is true. Nor was the notion that the Canadian men's team was ever in any kind of trouble at the Concacaf Gold Cup. Canada followed up a barnstorming 6-0 win over Honduras in its opening match with an incredibly disappointing 1-1 draw vs. Curaçao last weekend, a result that raised questions in some quarters about the team’s status as one of the tournament favourites.
Abbotsford’s Calder Cup championship a victory for entire Canucks organization

3 days ago | sportsnet.ca | Iain MacIntyre

VANCOUVER — So, this is what a championship looks like. The Abbotsford Canucks were not expected two months ago to win the American Hockey League’s Calder Cup, but on Monday delivered their parent organization its first minor-league title — and the franchise’s first championship of any kind — since the Vancouver Canucks entered the National Hockey League in 1970.
Canucks Draft Preview: Is first-round pick a trade chip?

4 days ago | sportsnet.ca | Iain MacIntyre

VANCOUVER — Rarely have the Vancouver Canucks entered draft week more motivated to trade their No. 1 pick. And rarely has the value of that commodity seemed more depressed. A below-average draft class, rapid salary-cap inflation after years of pandemic-related suppression, and National Hockey League parity that makes almost everyone except the San Jose Sharks and Chicago Blackhawks think they have a chance has eroded the value of draft capital.
Young Nathan Saliba giving Canada huge boost at Gold Cup

4 days ago | sportsnet.ca | John Molinaro

On a national team filled with veterans who play for some big European clubs, young MLS star Nathan Saliba has perhaps shone the brightest for Canada at the Concacaf Gold Cup. His two goals rank him as his nation's top scorer (tied with Tajon Buchanan) at this year’s tournament, and the CF Montreal midfielder could be front and centre again for Canada when it faces El Salvador on Tuesday night in Houston in its first-round finale.
Canada learns valuable lesson in draw with Curacao at Gold Cup

6 days ago | sportsnet.ca | John Molinaro

Concacaf Gold Cup matches can be an absolute grind, which means tournament management becomes vital for any nation that hopes to win it all. This was a valuable lesson that the Canadian men’s team learned in its second outing of the continental competition. After rampaging to an easy 6-0 win over Honduras in its opening game earlier this week, Canada looked to be well on its way to another victory after jumping out to an early 1-0 lead over Curaçao on Saturday night.
How playoff performances could impact Canada’s 2026 Olympic roster

1 week ago | sportsnet.ca | Sonny Sachdeva

It’s been a banner year for best-on-best on-ice battles between Canada and the United States. Back in February, the 4 Nations Face-Off offered up a memorable chapter, the two countries going head-to-head in an overtime thriller to claim the trophy, making a classic of what seemed set to be a sideshow.
One big off-season question facing the Oilers and Panthers

1 week ago | sportsnet.ca | Rory Boylen

The Florida Panthers are repeat Stanley Cup champions, the Edmonton Oilers repeat runners-up. Clearly the two best teams in the NHL over the past couple of seasons, both have every reason to be optimistic that they can run it back and meet again in the 2026 Final. Florida has a core of great players under contract and a system that relentlessly wears down opponents. Edmonton has two of the best players in the world. But before then, it's time for the front offices to get to work.
Around the CFL: New-look Stampeders making strides after rare playoff miss

1 week ago | sportsnet.ca | Mike Koreen

It's too early to say if the Calgary Stampeders are back on the right track, but there is a feeling of optimism around the team. With a new quarterback (Vernon Adams Jr.) and a revamped coaching staff under head coach/GM Dave Dickenson, the Stamps are off to a 2-0 start after two sour seasons. "Just keep stacking good quality performances early in the year," Dickenson told reporters after a win in Toronto over the reigning Grey Cup champion Argonauts last week.
