Toronto is all fired up about the Blue Jays. On wednesday night, the Blue Jays advanced to the American League Championship Series (ALCS) for the first time since 2016 after they defeated the New York Yankees 5-2 in Game 4 of the ALDS. The Blue Jays have had an incredible season, winning the AL East, and now, they eliminated a hated rival in the Yankees on their own home turf.

It just so happens that the Blue Jays' huge win fell on the same night as the Maple Leafs' home opener. Ironically, the Maple Leafs defeated the Montreal Canadiens 5-2.
