This should go without saying, but Steven Stamkos is absurdly good. This hit me like a brick wall watching him in person. Jesus. And another thing....the Islanders are the biggest piece of [expletive] organization in the NHL, both on and off the ice.

At least Marte strikes out more guys than he walks.

Yankees supposedly interested in JC Romero. Have fun with that.

Going to the game tonight. Eastern conference finals preview?

That was the most strange/pathetic/disappointing/memorable game I have ever seen.

Heading to Flyers-Lightning tonight. Too bad Gags is still hurt. I will get to see Randy Jones' homecoming at least!

This is now official. And it is fantastic. The writers with a vote have finally stopped giving the "wins" statistic credibility. The best pitcher won.

Some newspaper in Venezuela is reporting that Felix Hernandez wins AL Cy Young. Won't be official for 5 more minutes.

Haha, nah, it's worse. You guys aren't stuck with Elton Brand's contract, haha. And as you could tell by the crowd tonight, people just totally stopped caring. The NBA scene in Philadelphia is basically on life support, lol.

Oh no, I am not surprised at all. Nothing surprises me with the Sixers. But if they can't close a game vs. the Raptors that they lead late at home, they are in big trouble (not that we didn't already know they are in big trouble, haha). The real question of the night...will the Sixers win again this season?

Lots of mental mistakes for Jrue. If the Sixers cannot win this game....just wow.

I hope Wally Backman gets the job too because I see that turning into an epic failure.

The award needs to be renamed "Manager of the Surprise Team of the Year".

Can't wait for next Monday's rematch. Got my tickets. Should be fun. Almost everybody on the Flyers seems pissed off at PK Subban, so I am anxious to see how that plays itself out. The guy is really good but he seems like a huge [expletive], or he was last night at least. Running his mouth, mugging guys behind the play/after the whistle. Next Monday should be fun.

Signed Dan Meyer to a minor league deal. Fully expect him to get a shot at the MLB roster. With as screwed up as the RP market is, the whole "build bullpen from within"/pick guys up off the scrap heap idea doesn't sound so bad.

3 years/$16.5 million for Joaquin Benoit from the Tigers. Wow. The middle relief market is totally out of whack. Makes the Jose Contreras deal look an awful lot better.

Damn, I miss that guy..... But not really.

If you cant beat 'em, beat 'em up! Those are my boys!! (Although Subban was asking for it).

Yeah, when it is a Canadian vs. American team, they tend to be pro-American team, just because that's who the majority of their audience is pulling for. And yes, they are VERY uneducated. And yeah, we have a local sports network for the Flyers, Sixers, and Phillies. They probably have 65-70 Flyers games every year, with the other 15-17 either being on VS or NBC (NBC has the Sunday afternoon game of the week later on in the season). The worst part is that when a game is selected to be on VS or NBC, there is no local broadcast since the national network has exclusive rights. As for the Eagles, every game is national TV.

Versus is the "national" network. These games were on ESPN pre-lockout. Now Versus gets the national telecasts on Monday and Tuesday. The play by play guy (Joe Beninati) is normally the Washington Capitals play by play guy, but he does the national games for VS as well.

Also, you Canadian guys are so lucky that you don't need to watch games on Versus. Darren Eliot is absolutely horrible.

And a power play goal off a terrible call to make it 3-0. Should just about do it. Whatever, get them on Thursday.

Loved seeing Powe kick Lapierre's [expletive]. Nothing like overreacting to big, clean hits. As for the game, I guess a clunker like this was bound to happen, especially on the road in the second half of a back to back.. No shame in getting shut down by Carey Price with as well as he has played tonight. Still some time, but with as well as Price has played I am not particularly optimistic.

Carey Price is very good....

Flyers/Canadiens tonight. Not sure what to expect. Tough back to back for Bob. We'll see. Also, Dan Carcillo out 3 weeks with a knee issue. No big thing.
