We knew it was coming. He knew it was coming.
The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Thursday that they have parted ways with head coach Sheldon Keefe.
However, history has a way of repeating itself, and that’s why I don’t think Keefe will be on the proverbial beach for too long, unless he wants to take some time off, perhaps on the actual beach.
That’s because his old pal, Kyle Dubas, has a position to fill.

There are plenty of great rivalries in the National Hockey League, and most of them are decades-long or rooted in geography. 
Maple Leafs-Canadiens. Flyers-Penguins. Oilers-Flames.
But now and then a new one develops solely out of the hatred two teams have for each other, and we, the hockey-watching public, reap the benefits.
The fresh-baked rivalry between the Florida Panthers and Boston Bruins is exactly that.

The Pacers keep taking their one of their most effective players off floor vs. the Knicks in the NBA Playoffs.
The Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks were set for a thrilling finish to Game 2 of their second round series in the 2024 NBA Playoffs. Pacers guard T.J. McConnell hit a tough finish inside the arc to make it a one-point game with about eight minutes remaining in regulation. After Josh Hart drained a three-pointer on the following possession, McConnell set up teammate Pascal Siakam for a mid-range bucket.

Shaq doesn’t believe that Denver Nuggets big man Nikola Jokic should have been named NBA MVP this season. Instead, he would have liked to have seen Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander win the award. 
That’s all well and good, he isn’t the only one who shares that opinion, but the jealousy-filled rant he went on complaining about how the voting shaped out was nothing short of ridiculous. 
“I’m not happy with this one,” O’Neal said on ‘NBA TNT Tip-Off.

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy have grown apart in recent months as the PGA Tour tries to piece together its future.
Ahead of this week’s Wells Fargo Championship, Rory McIlroy spoke at length about the possibility of rejoining the PGA Tour Policy Board, from which he resigned in November.
He has grown “impatient” with the PGA Tour’s current negotiations with the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) and believes that a deal must get done soon.

Auburn coach Hugh Freeze felt comfortable enough with his quarterback room, led by Payton Thorne, to not go out and spend a million dollars on a transfer. But that doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future. 
The chatter around college football continues to revolve around the transfer portal and how coaches can use it to their advantage when it comes to finding a player of need on either side of the ball.

These teams still HATE each other.
There’s no love lost between the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers. A massive, multi-player fight broke out with under nine minutes left in the third period of Game 2, with all 10 skaters throwing haymakers from every angle.
