By virtue of the Detroit Red Wings’ loss to the Minnesota Wild this afternoon, the Montreal Canadiens have clinched a playoff spot, set to head to the post-season for the second consecutive season.
With the loss, the Red Wings can now achieve a maximum of 98 points, two fewer than the 100 the Canadiens improved to last night in New Jersey. They were the only team currently outside the playoff picture that had a mathematical possibility to pass Montreal, because the Philadelphia Flyers, wh...
Happy Easter! In addition to candy, the Phillies are hoping the bunny gives them a sweep as they conclude their series against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday afternoon. They’ll hope that Taijuan Walker can do better in his second start of the season after a rough outing against the Nationals. He oddly has good career […]

Happy Easter, folks! The Bruins are right back at it several states away, facing the Flyers in Philadelphia less than 24 hours after losing in Florida. The Flyers will be better rested, as they last played on Long Island on Friday. Today’s basics: The Flyers have gone on a nice run of late to remain […]
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links … Roob’s Observations: Can someone explain why the Eagles need a new stadium? – NBCSPWHY DO THE EAGLES NEED A NEW STADIUM? It was weird hearing Jeff Lurie speak Sunday about starting the process of researching what a new Eagles stadium might look like. The Eagles […]
It became official today: the Buffalo Sabres will break their streak of fourteen seasons without appearing the playoffs thanks to the Pittsburgh Penguins defeating the Florida Panthers, officially eliminating the two-time defending champions from the playoffs. The last time that Buffalo was in the playoffs was 2011 where the Lindy Ruff-led Sabres qualified as the seventh-seeded team and fell in the opening round in seven games to the Philadelphia Flyers.
They won't see the Flyers this year,...
Hey, Happy Easter to all of you. Hope your eggs were filled with Phillies chocolate coins, if they still even exist. Enjoy those egg hunts today. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Do you feel déjà vu? As was often the case in the two series against the Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays, the Colorado Rockies wasted wonderful pitching with atrocious hitting. Strikeouts and men left on base loomed large, as the Rox had their chances only to come up just one run short as the […]
The Philadelphia Phillies (5-3) grew their early season win streak to four games as they came out on the right side of a rare pitchers’ duel in Denver, defeating the Colorado Rockies (2-6) by a score of 2-1 on Saturday night. Jesus Luzardo bounced back from his rough first start with a 6.2 IP 11 […]

Another Eagles mailbag is here! Thanks to our loyal BGN readers for shooting some questions my way over in The Feed. I also had mailbags published on Tuesday and Thursday this week, so be sure to give those a read as well. Anyway, let’s get on with it… Jarvin Driftwood: What do you think the […]
The first week of the season was somewhat miserable for corners of the fanbase. It didn’t help that they didn’t win their opening series against the Rangers, losing it in quite bizarre fashion. Outside of a furious comeback against the Nationals on Wednesday afternoon, they almost lost the series to them as well, meaning people […]
It has not been a great sophomore season for Matvei Michkov — it’s undeniable at this point. But as the Philadelphia Flyers continue to push hard to stay and finish on top of the playoff race, the 21-year-old full of boundless potential that has had some growing pains came up big in the most important game of the Flyers’ season.
On Friday night, with anyone with any inkling of what is going on in the Eastern Conference race, had all their attention drawn to the New York Islanders hosting ...
Friday’s 10-1 blowout of the Rockies was the perfect salve for a lineup that was struggling. Granted, they were not facing a pitching staff that would be considered one of the better ones in the game, but it’s not as though they were facing monsters on the mound in Philadelphia. Several Phillies left town for […]
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links … The power of Jeffrey Lurie’s love for Jalen Hurts is a curious thing. Will it make the Eagles weep or sing? – InquirerIt’s clear now that the Eagles can’t and don’t want to keep living that way, and it’s also clear that Hurts will require […]
One down.
With a fanbase collectively pleading for signs of a pulse, the Red Wings mostly delivered in Thursday’s victory over the Flyers. It wasn’t a perfect effort, but they started on time, they played physical, they put the game away late. We’ll take it, gladly.
The reward? Even higher stakes.
Detroit is now tied for the second Wild Card position, with Ottawa holding the tiebreaker by virtue of more regulation wins. The Senators’ win on Thursday was about the only blemish in...
It seems that Zack Wheeler got roughed up a bit last night in his rehab start with Lehigh Valley. It’s probably mostly important to remember that he had major surgery and we aren’t sure what version of Wheeler will be returning soon. It’s also important to remember that this is his spring training, so peaks/valleys […]
No, we’re not gonna make it… The New York Islanders made the Eastern Conference playoff race that much more interesting by losing their third straight regulation game to the Philadelphia Flyers, allowing the visitors to pull into a four-way tie of teams with 88 points. The Islanders were outshot 12-2 and outscored 2-0 in the […]
The Flyers closed out their back-to-back on the road on Long Island, facing off against the Islanders in a must-win game to keep their playoff push alive. It wasn’t a perfect showing, but the Flyers came up with a largely commanding effort, and came away with a hard-fought win to put themselves within reach of a playoff spot.
The basics
First period: 13:54- Owen Tippett (Sanheim), 15:01- Alex Bump (Michkov, Cates) Second period: 2:52- Matvei Michkov (unassisted), 15:37- Jean-Gabriel ...
Don’t look now, but the Sixers haven’t just won two games in a row, they’ve won two third quarters in a row. Philadelphia took down the Minnesota Timberwolves 115-103 Friday night. They are now 43-34 and will remain in the sixth seed. Paul George had the only good first half for Philly, leading them with […]
Today was not the party the Rockies or their fans were hoping for. For a moment, it felt like it might be possible. A perfect afternoon, a packed house, and Hunter Goodman receiving his Silver Slugger before first-pitch set an optimistic tone. Then the first inning happened. Michael Lorenzen never settled in. Trea Turner led off with a double, walks […]
Colorado Rockies fans assuredly did not have high expectations for the 2026 season. The team lost 119 games in 2025, and they didn’t seem to significantly upgrade the roster in the offseason. So, when the fans sat down to watch their home opener against the Phillies on Friday afternoon, it’s not like most of them […]
