The Leafs are going to make the playoffs?

The Toronto Maple Leafs just recently had a home and home against the Boston Bruins. One of the best teams in the NHL. They did very well taking three out of a possible four points. Many fans are still upset about them losing in the shootout in their away game. So far they are  0 for 4 in the contest. I bet Leaf fans are thanking the rule book for not having the shootout in the playoffs. I'd say these past two games have proven something about this years team. That is that they can hang with the best teams in the NHL. Both games were close, tough games. The Leafs should leave Boston with their heads held high.

The New And Improved Toronto Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays last won the World Series in 1993. This upcoming 2013 season, the Jays have their eyes set on returning to champions of the MLB as they did 20 seasons ago. Much like the last time they won the award they have added a list of valuable players to their roster. Management is rolling the dice on big time players and even bigger payrolls. Many Toronto Blue Jays fans are overwhelmed by Alex Anthopoulos roster moves this off-season. As the team acquired a bunch of all-stars and former all-stars. The team finally has a solid pitching rotation with the addition of R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle and Josh Johnson. One more heavy bat in Melky Cabrera. Then Jose Reyes at Shortstop. Not to mention the return of the veteran catcher John Buck. This has got to be one of the biggest changes for the better a team has done in baseball for a long time. Just looking at the pitching rotation you can tell the manner has changed in Toronto. Ricky Romero the Blue Jays arguably best pitcher over the last few years has been placed 5th in the rotation after up and down past season. This team looks more than a legit contender for the World Series. Other Toronto sport teams could take notes on how the Toronto Blue Jays handled the 2012-2013 off-season.

Vernon Wells Traded

Well the contract that was thought to be untradedable was sent to the Angles.

Quickie:Keep Jose

It seems Toronto doesn't like Jose's. The Blue Jays are rumored to be willing to trade Jose Bautista. This comes to a shock to Toronto sport fans as he leads the league in Home Runs with 30.The last game he played he went 4 for 4 with 2 Home Runs, if they trade that type of potential away I will start to cry. At first I didn't like this guy because we had a great third baseman when he came along in Scott Rolen. Now I love the way he hits the ball and his arm isn't bad either. He is perfect for Toronto because he isn't American, he's from the Dominican Republic. Every good American player that has played for Toronto has left in a rush to get back to there trailer parks in a America. Other than V.WELLS, Roy.H, Greg Zaun and Scott Downs but the last two came from the Expos. Here a list of players that left and are still playing today and are stars. Orlando Hudson, Jayson Werth, Scott Rolen, David Bush, Chris Carpenter, Ryan Freel, Troy Glaus, Erik Hinske, Ted Lilly, Alex Rios, Randy Wells. Keep Jose Bautista, he doesn't mind being in Canada.

Love The Classic Jerseys...Don't You?

THESE TEAMS IN MY OPINION, SHOULD CHANGE THEIR JERSEYS BACK TO WHAT THEY WERE IN PAST YEARS. BOTH TEAMS LOST THERE STAR PLAYERS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. IT'S A GREAT WAY FOR FANS TO FORGET THEM, YOU MAY REMEMBER THE RAPTORS DID THIS WHEN VINCE CARTER LEFT TOWN. JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE CLASSIC JERSEYS OF THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS AND TORONTO RAPTORS.

Quickie: Argos Without QB

No matter how many you sign, it's not going to work. It seems the Toronto Argos just can't find a QB. Maybe if everything fails they will just resign the retired Damon Allen. We all know he can throw the ball 20 yards, unlike the ones we have now.

Quickie:What Ever Happened to Mike Van Ryn?

On September 8th 2008 the Toronto Maple Leafs traded Bryan McCabe and a fourth round pick for the 2010 NHL entry draft to the Florida Panthers in return for the younger defence man Mike Van Ryn. Bryan McCabe had to waive his no trade clause for the deal to go threw. The deparcher of McCabe was rumored for some time in Toronto so maybe he just didn't feel welcome anymore. The trade was delayed for a little because the Panthers wanted the Leafs to pay his 2 million dollar pay check just before he left town. Bryan McCabe would go on to become a star in Florida and be named Captain.

Bad Trade For Leafs:

The Leafs thought they were getting a player that had better potiental than McCabe. Van Ryn would go on to show none of his potiental in his 27 games, only putting up 3 goals and 8 assists. Those stats aren't awful but it isn't anything to be proud of.

What should of been done:

What they should of done in the first place is never traded McCabe in my opinion but if you had to, this is what they should of done in this deal. First off, why are the leafs giving up a draft pick at all?. You knew Mats Sundin wasn't going to come back to Toronto and you should be getting draft picks to rebuild. The Leafs could of got a nice high first round draft pick instead of Mike Van Ryn from the Florida Panthers. Send a minor league forward to fill the gaps if Florida isn't fully intrested. Sad news is that this didn't happened and what actually did was Mike Van Ryn got injured in the 2009 season then didn't even play in the 2010 season. Most to all Leaf fans don't even remember Mike Van Ryn but I havn't forgot just yet, because of this I expect him to live up to the player that he was thought to be.
