    After some shocking developments the vast majority of major sporting events have been put on hold until further notice! This leaves the Two Average Fans in disarray. We go back and touch on the major events from the past week in this episode, but we are in shock! As lifetime sports fans this is uncharted territory. Where do we go? What do we do? Life as we know it as sports fans is changing and we don’t know what to do.

    We’re getting down to crunch time in the NHL! Almost exactly a month left in the season before we get into playoff action. The Leafs are sitting in third in their division despite some mediocre play, leaving them with a potential first round match-up with Tampa Bay! That’s a playoff match-up I’d pay to see! The Panthers are only 5 points back so there’s definitely some pressure on the Leafs to hold off these teams down the stretch. Do you think the NHL should evaluate the need for full face masks in the NHL? These injuries are few and far between but the results can be catastrophic. The Raptors continue to fight the injury bug and battle to stay in the second seed in the eastern conference and avoid playing Philly in the first round! We think Spike Lee should get his own private entrance at MSG! Way to alienate your most committed fan. We’re almost at playoff time, one of the best times of year! www.twoaveragefans.com twoaveragefans@gmail.com

    We roll into our 1 year anniversary episode and get into post trade deadline analysis in the NHL. The Leafs chose to stay mostly silent coming up to the deadline, although moves made early on that yielded back-up goalie Jake Campbell and Kyle Clifford added value. They chose to hang on to Tyson Barrie for the remainder of the season, hoping he can add value down the stretch and be a key contributor in the playoffs. The Leafs also managed to lose an important game against the Canes on the weekend, where the Canes were forced to bring in an emergency goalie, 42 year old David Ayres who is a Zamboni driver for the Marlies and also practices with the Leafs from time to time. We sit down to deal with this fallout. The Raptors lose an important test against the Bucks on Tuesday night, missing an opportunity to gain some ground on League leading Milwaukee. We also get to a fan question about the sign stealing scandal and the 2017 Houston Astros, how should former Astros players from 2017 be received going into this season even though they’ve moved on to different organizations?? www.twoaveragefans.com twoaveragefans@gmail.com

    More trouble in Leaf land. With the season starting to come down to the nitty gritty, these slumps are starting to become very consequential. The leafs now sit 4th in their division with a very difficult schedule between them and the end of the season. This next stretch of hockey is huge for Andersen as his numbers have been on a steady decline, it’s time to show why he’s their number one goaltender. The NBA dunk contest did not disappoint but the judges did! In an attempt to make the contest a tie, there was an error in their math and the trophy was handed to Jones Jr. It was a bitter ending to an otherwise awesome event. As more players have been reporting to spring training, more interviews and opinions are coming out regarding the Houston Astros sign stealing. Lebron James even made a statement claiming that there needs to be more action taken by the commissioner. How many people to need to speak before something happens? Or will all the noise cause paralysis in the MLB? www.twoaveragefans.com twoaveragefans@gmail.com

    The Leafs are not a playoff team with the defense they have now, will they be willing to give up the assets required to land a quality piece? Let’s hope so… as they continue to shoot themselves in the foot with blown coverage and missed assignments. They currently sit 2 points ahead of Florida for 3rd place in the division. The Raptors on the other hand just had their franchise/Canadian record 15 game winning streak snapped at the hands of the Brooklyn Nets. This game was a bit of a trap game leading into the All Star break. Let’s hope they can get some key players back from injury sooner than later. We also touch on the UFC 247 results from this past weekend and discuss the suspect judging going on in MMA. The Houston Astros issued public statements addressing the sign stealing scandal from 2017 and apologized for their actions… This is a joke. It’s an insult to the game of baseball for this to be slowly swept under the rug. We want to see key players suspended. This is bound to be an interesting year in baseball! www.twoaveragefans.com twoaveragefans@gmail.com

    The Kansas City Chiefs take it! And as expected, Cam wins the prop bet challenge and walks away with his pride. Better luck next time. The Leafs have hit another bump in the road, with an injury to Andersen. However, help is on the way. The Leafs have traded for G Jack Campbell and F Kyle Clifford from the LA Kings, in exchange for F Trevor Moore and two 3rd round draft picks. As a Leaf fan that has endured the pain of watching this team struggle with back up goaltending, my fingers are crossed. The Toronto Raptors have set a new franchise record with their 12th straight win, pulling off a huge comeback against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night. Serge Ibaka with the dagger! They have also set a new franchise mark now having the best record in franchise history thus far through the season. All without Kawhi! How far can this team go?

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those involved in the tragic accident that took place over the past weekend. #MambaMentality. The Toronto Raptors are in the midst of an 8 game win streak that has vaulted them into second place in the Eastern Conference, 8 games behind the first place Bucks! Through 47 games, the Toronto Raptors have the exact same record as the LA Clippers... The Raptors are getting scoring from up and down their lineup and getting key contributions from depth players as the team continues to recover from injuries. The Leafs come back from the All Star break and rattle off two wins as they get ready for the Battle of Ontario this Saturday and then their biggest game of the year against the Florida Panthers on Monday night. The Leafs are tied with the Panthers for 3rd place in the Atlantic Division, Florida has 2 games in hand. We're getting excited for the Super Bowl this Sunday.

The Raptors are back on track, logging a 5 game win streak after getting all of their key players back from injury. They have a great opportunity to climb into second spot in the conference if they can string some wins together. The All Star break is just what the doctor ordered for the Toronto Maple Leafs. They limped into the bye week and will look to get back on track and start their chase for third in their division. There will definitely be rumors heating up as we get closer to the trade deadline, as the Leafs look to add key pieces to their blue line and in net.

Auston Matthews has a huge night but ultimately the leafs come out on the losing end via the shootout. Regardless.. that game had us on the edge of our seats. The Toronto Raptors have the highest "wins lost due to injury" in the entire NBA, with 6.41 wins lost. Fred Vanvleet is out with a hamstring injury, joining the already long list of key players that are absent from the lineup. Despite having a depleted roster the Raptors continue to play quality basketball, edging out wins and losing some close ones. They now sit 7.5 games back of the first place Bucks and 2.5 games back of the second place Miami Heat. Team Canada won the gold medal in the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship vs. Russia on Sunday afternoon! They came storming back from 3-1 down in the 3rd period to taste gold!

The Raptors aren't looking so hot as of late, going 1-4 in their last 5 games. It seems that the return of Lowry and Ibaka has thrown them out of their groove. Kawhi gets his Ring and nice heart felt ovation from the Raptor faithful. That's about all the good news from that game, the Raptors fall to the Clippers... large.

    Annnnd the Leafs keep it rolling with a blowout win vs. the lowly Red Wings. With 54 shots on goal against two different goaltenders, this game was out of reach quickly. Is William Nylander living up to his contract? He has 12 points in his last 11 games and seems to be stepping up in the absence of Marner. Tyson Barrie has 5 points in 3 games since the hiring of Sheldon Keefe, and seems to be benefiting from the fresh voice and new schemes. The New York Islanders point streak is over at 17 games, snapped by The Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night. The Raptors are coming off of a few big wins, most notably holding Joel Embiid to 0-11 shooting for 0 points on the night.

    After one of the most entertaining free agency periods in our lifetime, we're hear to break it down. The Leafs made a huge splash landing Tyson Barrie and Cody Ceci to bolster their blueline. Finally getting that right shot D man everyone has been screaming for. Kadri was a necessary loss but they were able to resign Kasperi Kapanen and Andreas Johnsson to very team friendly deals that will either pay off or be completely trade-able. Apparently Ottawa has been so bad that the Leafs are now a split squad playing between the two cities. A ton of high profile names have been cleared off the free agent list. There were some pretty lofty numbers thrown around, which in some cases will most definitely come back to bite. Kawhi.. We are here... waiting... hoping... twoaveragefans@gmail.com

    While we try to bask in the eternal glory of the Toronto Raptors iconic championship win, we can't help but speculate on the impending roster shake ups that could be forthcoming. Will he stay? Will Kawhi return to the 6ix to defend his championship!? Can the Leafs manage to wiggle out of this disastrous cap space position? It isn't looking good. They paid quite a price to get rid of the Patrick Marleau contract and now turn their sights to Zaitsev. This seems to be the key contract that stands between them and signing Mitch Marner. Cam has a run in on the trails during another great installment of Cycling Chronicles, and this time he's the one at fault. twoaveragefans@gmail.com
