Less than a year after trading Mikko Rantanen, the Avalanche find themselves in a very similar situation with Martin Necas. #GoAvsGo

I don't think Vegas got enough back in the Nic Roy trade.

Didn't get the win but another great game from Jet Greaves. Picking right back up where he ended last season. Blue Jackets have found themselves a goalie. #CBJ

Michael Amato @snmichaelamato.bsky.social · 2d

No idea why the #stlblues traded Zach Bolduc.

Michael Amato @snmichaelamato.bsky.social · 2d

Maple Leafs now play 13 of their next 14 games against teams that missed the playoffs last year, with 10 of them coming at home. Imperative that they bank some points early here. #LeafsForever

John Schneider postgame speech

Michael Amato @snmichaelamato.bsky.social · 3d

Maybe the best game in a year for Morgan Rielly. First star right now.

Michael Amato @snmichaelamato.bsky.social · 3d

Could count on one hand with a few fingers left over how many Blue Jays pitchers I trust more than Eric Lauer.

Michael Amato @snmichaelamato.bsky.social · 3d

First PP was dreadful. Gave up a shorthanded goal and several other chances. Couldn’t make a clean pass. Might be where the Leafs will miss Marner the most.

Michael Amato @snmichaelamato.bsky.social · 3d

First goal in 24 games dating back to last year and including playoffs for Bobby McMann.

Getting real Leafs/Panthers Game 3 vibes from this Blue Jays game.

Michael Amato @snmichaelamato.bsky.social · 5d

Oilers getting McDavid on a bridge deal is a huge win. They obviously wanted to see more from him before committing long term.

Michael Amato @snmichaelamato.bsky.social · 5d

Not sure Cowan on the 4th line made a lot of sense to begin with, especially with Laughton out. But having him as the 13th forward makes none at all.

Michael Amato @snmichaelamato.bsky.social · 6d

Blue Jays are now 8-1 versus the Yankees at home this season, outscoring them 75-41.

They’ve absolutely tormented New York at the Rogers Centre.

Michael Amato @snmichaelamato.bsky.social · 6d

Gotta love the Wikipedia update for Yesavage today.

Michael Amato @snmichaelamato.bsky.social · 6d

Run differential in this series for those scoring at home:

Blue Jays +20

Yankees -20

#WANTITALL

Michael Amato @snmichaelamato.bsky.social · 6d

Blue Jays defense has barely moved so far. Yesavage on another planet right now.

Michael Amato @snmichaelamato.bsky.social · 6d

Yankees getting too much screen time in the dugout trying to figure out Yesavage.

Michael Amato @snmichaelamato.bsky.social · 7d

Absolutely nobody:

The Panthers and Lightning in a meaningless preseason game:

Michael Amato @snmichaelamato.bsky.social · 7d

Nathan Lukes wants it all!

Michael Amato @snmichaelamato.bsky.social · 7d

At this rate, Kevin Gausman will be ready to pitch again tomorrow.

- Does Ingram have more upside than Skinner and Pickard?
- If all 3 Hughes brothers want to play together, Luke's extension all but guarantees it will be in New Jersey

and more...

Blue Jays are leaving $56.21M off their ALDS roster. That's not even counting Bo Bichette because he's out with an injury. Yet it feels like the right move and made the most sense.
