Never have the Canucks shot so often, and rarely have they shot so poorly. With 84 shot attempts yet just 18 registered shots, the Canucks were only able to push one past Juuse Saros.

While Guerrero Jr. did stretch to reach the ball, he wasn’t at full extension on the play, which any manager would expect a first baseman to make every time. The error overshadowed a strong night of pitching for the Blue Jays, who fall to 13-11 with the loss.  

Cam Talbot was destined to tend goal in this Round 1 series. Yet, fate has him at the wrong end of the rink, the third Los Angeles Kings goalie in as many springs with a mandate to shut down Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers.

Some top Blue Jays prospects are putting up eye-catching offensive numbers at triple-A, and their production has not escaped the attention of decision makers on the big-league team.

It appears that the worst-case scenario — current Canada head coach Jordi Fernandez being forced to bail out from his commitment at the 2024 Olympics in Paris — has been avoided. Michael Grange tells us how it happened.

The Blue Jays have been out-scored, out-homered and at times outplayed. But end of the day, it’s about wins and losses rather than run differential and after beating the Royals 5-3 at Kauffman Stadium Monday night, the 13-10 Blue Jays also continue doing a lot of things well.

Vancouver’s third line was the most impactful one in Game 1, and it has the potential to be a massive influence on this first-round series.
