Islanders @ Maple Leafs [game thread]

Back by (popular?) demand, we’ll try to have game thread posts that are separate from the morning thread and any other posts. Ideally, this is to help people riff in-the-moment (hilarious, heated, or otherwise) while not having the emotional reactions get confused in the morning/daytime threads. You know, like once upon a time. The Islanders […]

Despite loss to Lakers, Knicks show promise in 5-game swing vs. NBA’s elite

The Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs and Toronto Raptors by 15 apiece. They routed the Denver Nuggets by nearly 40.

Islanders Gameday: Schaefer in Toronto; Varlamov’s *two new knees*

Is Lou Lamoriello still around? Because only learning now that Semyon Varlamov’s two-season-long “lower body injury” is TWO KNEE REPLACEMENTS — and thanks to Patrick Roy mentioning it (likely off script) in a media scrum — feels very Lou-esque. He hasn’t played since late November 2024, so you knew there were serious issues, but still… […]

The Guardian reporter Leyland Cecco visits an almost 100ft-tall snow mountain, one of six created in Toronto to store all the snow cleared from roads and paths across the city. Toronto has spent more than C$1bn dollars over a decade to successfully re-naturalise the mouth of the Don River. But this is at risk because the salt contained in the snow mountains is likely to end up in water systems, causing an 'ecological crisis'. More than 130,000 tonnes of salt were used during the winter's reco...

Toronto’s snow mountains: towering peaks that refuse to melt and leave a toxic trail

Reaching up to 100ft, these massive piles contain tonnes of salt that keep roads clear – but pose environmental risks Most mountains take tens of millions of years to form. Toronto’s newest mountain took just days. Towering atop the crowns of evergreens, it has no skeleton of limestone or granite. There are no spires, cornices or headwalls. It is simply piles upon piles of snow, mixed with a toxic cocktail of road salt, antifreeze, oil, coffee cups and lost keys. It is the final resting place...

Scott Pilgrim EX review – is it time to grow up?

PC, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5; Tribute Games Inc A treat for nostalgia fans and completists, but there’s little new in this rehashing of a classic that feels like an add-on rather than a fully fledged adventure It’s 20XX, and unrepentant slacker Scott Pilgrim and his friends are revelling in the throes of young adulthood. They’re skint, but in a cool way that’s unrecognisable today (not least because nobody can afford to live near downtown Toronto). For many readers, the Scott Pi...
