Sonny Gray Shows Ace-Level Form in Dominant Win Over Tigers at Busch Stadium
Sonny Gray Shows Ace-Level Form in Dominant Win Over Tigers at Busch Stadium ST. LOUIS — For the St. Louis Cardinals, 2024 has been a season of recalibration and reinvention. After an underwhelming 2023, the front office sought to bolster its rotation with a true frontline starter—an ace capable of stabilizing the pitching staff and setting the tone for a postseason push. They found that in veteran right-hander Sonny Gray, inking him to a lucrative deal with hopes that his savvy, experience, and elite off-speed arsenal could anchor the team. But for Gray to truly live up to the billing of an ace, he knew he’d need more than just a wicked sweeper and a devastating curveball. He needed his fastball—his “straight stuff”—to play up and complement the rest of his repertoire.

2025 Conference Finals Preview
32 teams started this journey in October. 16 qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and at exactly one month in to this wonderful annual madness, we are now down to the final four teams remaining. I've said this many times before; I absolutely love the last round before the championship, because the pomp and circumstance increases. In every one of the main leagues, whether it's the League Championship Series in baseball, the Conference Championships in the NFL, or the Conference Finals in the NBA and NHL, there is always an aura. Trophies are awarded at the end of the penultimate round of each sport's playoffs, and regarding the NHL's trophies, I'll get to those later.

What Went Wrong: The Toronto Screwjob
Canada is doomed to be a magnet for screwjobs. First Bret Hart in Montréal, and now, the Toronto Maple Leafs were screwed over on their home ice. The refs really did their best to hand Florida this series. As soon as the Leafs went up 2-0 in the series, the refs really got to work in Games Three and Four. No penalties called on Florida. Panthers getting away with so much obvious shit. The result: a 2-2 series tie entering Game Five, which the Leafs were blasted in. Now, Game Five's not on the refs; the Leafs did not play well. But Game Six proved that when the refs are actually unbiased, the Leafs win.

What Went Wrong: A Tale of Two Hellebuycks
Six teams remained on this day, and half of them were Canadian. I found myself pulling for a Canadian-dominated Final Four, with three of the four teams being from the nation sitting above this one. It's the most that could possibly happen, considering the fact that the Metropolitan Division has no Canadian teams. The Winnipeg Jets actually finished with the best record in the league for the first time in their 26-year franchise history. The team looked like a big favorite to at least get to the Cup Final.
