Sportsfeld Storytime is back and locked in on the 2002 NHL Playoffs, this time focusing on the Eastern Conference Finals. After a hard fought 7-game series win against the Ottawa Senators, Leafs Nation was a buzz as they can taste the Stanley Cup Finals. The only thing standing in their way is a group of veterans like Ron Francis, Rod Brind'Amour and Arturs Irbe as well as TSN OverDrive's Jeff O'Neill. Join Jake & Zubes as they take us back to a time when Leafs Nation believed that the Stanley Cup Finals were on its way back to Toronto.

Storytime: Maple Leafs - 2002 Playoffs vs Ottawa (Pt. 4)

The Toronto Blue Jays have hit the midway point of the season, so we're handing out evaluations for the entire starting lineup. Vladdy is an obvious A+++ but where does the rest of the lineup rank? Plus, after the Euro, Zubes might be thinking about cheering for a Premier League team and you'll probably hate which team he picks.

Storytime: Maple Leafs - 2002 Playoffs vs Ottawa (Pt. 2)

The trade deadline is a month away and the Toronto Blue Jays got ahead of the market by sending Joe Panik to the Miami Marlins for reliever Adam Cimber and outfielder Corey Dickerson. All signs point to the Jays continuing to add as the month rolls on, and with how the offense is performing there's reason to believe in the team and why they'll be adding at the deadline.

195. Jays Pull Out Of An Ugly Slide, Raptors Lottery Luck

It’s May 2001. The Raptors are still the youngest franchise in the NBA and have yet to earn respect around the league. Their previous season ended with a sweep courtesy of the New York Knicks, and in the offseason they lost budding star Tracy McGrady to the Orlando Magic. But there’s hope in the air.Vince Carter has emerged as a star, and carried the Raptors to a franchise best 47-35 regular season record. They avenged their loss to the Knicks by defeating them in the 1st round, advanced to face superstar Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers. The series is absolutely bonkers, with the two future hall of famers trading 50 point scoring outputs and late game heroics, all setting the stage for Game 7 in Philadelphia.In this Sportsfeld Storytime series, relive the most infamous shot in franchise history (at the time), and the most controversial graduation ceremony in sports history, as Jake and Zubes tell the story of Game 7 of the 2001 Eastern Conference Semi-Final.Come join the Patreon family for bonus episodes, mailbags, discord access and even more goodness: https://www.patreon.com/sportsfeld Follow @Sportsfeld on Twitter!

Storytime: Raptors - 2001 Playoffs vs Philadelphia (Pt. 4)

Every single day we get up, work at our jobs, then unwind by watching the Toronto Blue Jays bullpen ruin game after game. The Jays could've had an incredible week full of wins over divisional rivals and top teams in the American League, and instead they are still fluttering around .500 after a handful of blown leads. We sort through the mess with questions about the roster, the deployment, and the steps to fix the pen before it is too late and a great offensive season gets wasted.Come join the Patreon family for bonus episodes, mailbags, discord access and even more goodness: https://www.patreon.com/sportsfeld Follow @Sportsfeld on Twitter!

194. The Toronto Blue Jays Bullpen Is Ruining My Life

Storytime: Raptors - 2001 Playoffs vs Philadelphia (Pt. 3)

The Toronto Blue Jays have faced a bunch of teams they'll be competing with to land a playoff spot over the last three weeks, and despite playing well they find themselves 4th place in the AL East and on the outside looking in at the playoff picture. As they hit the 60 game mark, we examine where the team is positioned to make a run and if there's any help on the way to find a fix for the bullpen and bottom part of the lineup.
