Canadian rapid recaps: It can only go up from here

🏒NHL roundup: It’s December, and hockey fans are starting to feel unmoored, with both Montreal Canadiens and Vancouver Canucks fans throwing jerseys on the ice in recent games. Oof.

• The Habs — who recently fired their general manager (GM) — have won only six of their 26 games, whereas the Canucks — who fired their head coach and GM last night — have won eight of 25. At least there’s potential for a good draft pick?

🏒PHF (formerly NWHL): The Toronto Six experienced their first losses of the season as they were swept by the Boston Pride over the weekend. But not all hope was lost for Canada, as it was Canadian talent who secured the wins for Boston, with Christina Putigna (pronounced poo-TEEN-yuh — we can’t make this stuff up) scoring a pair of goals.

🏀NBA: The Toronto Raptorshave won two in a row after last night’s 102–90 win over the Washington Wizards. For extra fun, the team hosted their third annual Japan Day, where fan-favorite Japanese player Yuta Watanabe hosted a Q&A with participating young fans. S’cute.
