The Toronto Maple Leaf's lose once again


 Game 7 of the 2025-2026 season, the Leaf's lose 5-2 vs the New Jersey Devils. What started out as a good game, John Tavares scored his 4th goal of the season to put the Leafs up 1-0 in the first period. However, this would change very shortly in the second period. The Leafs would end up letting in a goal to Jack Hughes for his first goal of the season. The Leafs' Head Coach, Berube, would challenge this goal for goalie interference. They would lose this challenge and get a delay of the game, giving New Jersey another power play. This would hurt the Leafs even more, giving Cody Glass of course a Powerplay goal for the Devils. A minute later in the game, Brenden Dillon scores his first goal of the season for the Devils, putting them up 3-1. However, 2 minutes later into the game, the Leafs are coming back into the offensive zone with a pass from John Tavares to William Nylander, who makes a sweet backhand pass to Matias Marcelli for his first goal with the Leafs this season. I start to think, ok, only down by one goal now, well, I would be wrong. 4 minutes left in the second period, Jack Hughes again with a breakaway slapshot, he scores, putting the Devils up 4-2. In the third period, the Leafs only put up 8 shots in the period. They looked so bad couldn't do anything offensively or defensively in the period. Jack Hughes would end up scoring a hat trick for the Empty Netter, sealing the 5-2 game win for the Devils. The Leafs are 3-3-1 on the season, not a very good look at all right now for this team. This team is always deciding my Health for these 9-12 months of hockey. Next game is Friday vs the Buffalo Sabers.

    Hey Noah, I loved reading through your post about the game! I'm also a Leafs fan but I haven't gotten a chance to see much of the NHL this season so far. Hopefully they can pull things together soon because those loses really start to stack up over time. It sucked having to see Marner leave the organization this offseason, but after hearing the stadium boo whenever he touched the puck at home in the playoffs last season made me glad he got to get away from that negativity. I can only imagine how it felt getting booed by the fans of the team you grew up adoring.

Pickleball

 Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the world. I got into pickleball when I had my Achilles injury. This sport helped me try something while my Achilles was healing.  I couldn't move my legs too much, but this helped me with hand-eye coordination and my reflexes. Pickleball is a great way to stay active; you are always using some sort of muscle when playing the game. That could be using your legs, wrist, shoulders, and back. It is very important to have a strong core to be able to turn and twist during the game. I have been playing pickleball for over 3 years now, and it is my favorite sport to play of all time. I have started to play in pickleball tournaments a lot recently. I have won 2 tournaments so far, they are an enjoyment to play in and a great way of meeting new people. Overall, Pickleball is a great sport to be active in you are always moving and focused. Anyone who hasn't played yet should try to get out and learn more about the sport.

What a Time to be a Toronto Fan- Mental Health

Image
 It is a great time to be a Toronto fan right now, to any Toronto Fans out there. Last night, the Toronto Raptors had their first game of the season against the Atlanta Hawks. The Toronto Raptors came out hot, getting their first win 138-118. RJ Barrett dropped 25 points while Brandon Ingram had 16 points and 9 rebounds. You might be wondering why this matters, and everything well to my mental health, it has a huge impact. As a lifelong Toronto fan, I have gone through many disappointments, like the Leafs not making it to the conference final or just winning a playoff series. Or the Blue Jays not making the playoffs at all. Well, this year has been different. The Blue jays are in the world Series against the LA Dodgers. The Blue Jays have a chance to prove the entire world wrong in this World Series, going against a huge threat Dodgers' lineup. As for the Leafs, they have 7 points in 7 games. One less point than last year at this time. There are still tons of games left for the Lea...
