In Wednesday’s Brotherhood Playoff Action, Detroit beat Orlando, 98-83, and OKC tamed Phoenix, 120-107. Detroit didn’t have too much trouble with Orlando in this one, though Paolo Banchero scored 18 points and also had 6 rebounds and 8 assists. With just three points, Wendell Carter didn’t have a great game, though his rivalry with Jalen […]
Needing a win to avoid going down 0-3 in the series, the Pittsburgh Penguins struck first on Wednesday night for their first lead of the series, but three second period goals from the Philadelphia Flyers erased that deficit and the Penguins subsequently came apart at the seams in what turned out to be a 5-2 […]
In the first Philadelphia Flyers home playoff game – with fans – since 2018, the Flyers gave the home crowd plenty to cheer about as they defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins in a physical 5-2 victory. The Basics First period: 4:18 – Evgeni Malkin (Bryan Rust, Sidney Crosby) (PPG) Second period: 5:18 – Trevor Zegras (Jamie Drysdale, Porter Martone) (PPG), 9:06 – Rasmus Ristolainen (Noah Juulsen, Sean Couturier), 11:18 – Nick Seeler (Noah Juulsen, Sean Couturier) Third period: 9...
Travis Konecny has not been showing up on the score sheet in this first round against the Pittsburgh Penguins, but he is doing exactly what he needs to do. The Philadelphia Flyers still live and breathe in rhythm with Konecny on the ice and he is a major reason why they have now earned a 3-0 series lead over their archrivals. If you just looked at a bunch of numbers from Wednesday night’s 5-2 Flyers win in Game 3, and saw that Konecny finished the game with zero goals, zero assists, four ...
…we came in? Anyway, I saw Exit 8 a few days ago. It’s a horror film about a man who finds himself trapped in an endless, looping train station passage, returning again and again to the same place. It’s come to mind, watching the Phillies recently. There’s always an element of repetition to a baseball […]
Pregame The Penguins enter Game 3 with some adjusted forward lines, left wings shuffled all around the first three lines from the start of last game. Otherwise it’s the same, including Stuart Skinner back in net. The Flyers are sticking with what’s been working to this point by using the same players and combos. First […]
Go get ‘em, Matthew.

NFL Network expert Brian Baldinger, who possesses one of the keenest eyes when it comes to the NFL Draft and interior line play, recently took a few minutes to discuss where potentially the Eagles could look in Thursday’s NFL Draft. With an aging, mending offensive line, Baldinger sees the Eagles taking a developmental offensive tackle […]
The NFL Draft beckons! I’ll get right to some mailbag questions from our loyal BGN readers… drmdub: For me it seems pretty obvious that our biggest problem last year was the offensive line. Jalen is who Jalen is, there’s no changing that, but he always does better when the line is excellent and the running […]
Matthew Boyd spent about two weeks on the injured list with a biceps issue. The left-hander made one rehab start in which he struck out six and was deemed ready to return. So, the Cubs activated Boyd from the 15-day injured list this afternoon and he will start tonight’s game against the Phillies. To make […]

We all have a lot of questions about the Philadelphia Eagles ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Who will they take at No. 23? Should they trade up, trade down, or stay put? Will they find Lane Johnson’s successor? Do they take a player that no one’s been expecting them to select, like they did […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins are desperate and it’s wonderful to see. Ahead of Game 3 against the Philadelphia Flyers, as we head into the Xfinity Mobile Arena feeling better than we ever thought we would after the first two playoff games in six years, Penguins head coach Dan Muse has shuffled his forward lines in an attempt to find an answer. The Penguins have been dead in the water for two straight games and their coaching staff can sense something needs to change. Too bad it’s not “get bett...
BOSTON — Neemias Queta just wanted to watch film. Moments after the Celtics’ painful 111-97 loss to the 76ers, the Portuguese center stood in the Celtics locker room surrounded by reporters, fielding question after question about what went wrong in Game 2. Queta was asked about what allowed Tyrese Maxey to get going after a […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are back in the playoffs, and the NHL gave them a primetime slot for their first postseason game since 2020 on Saturday night. While some complained that there could be better matchups in that slot, the television ratings are in, and Game 1 between the Flyers and Penguins set some new records on ESPN. According to ESPN , 2.1 million viewers tuned in to watch the Flyers take down the Penguins 3-2 on Saturday night. That was a 173% increase over ESPN’s first-rou...
After being all the way out, Sixers fans are all the way back in after their Game 2 stunner in Boston. Tying the series up 1-1 against the Celtics, I’m soaking it up. Before Game 3 rolls around, here are some choice thoughts I have about the Sixers… Tyrese Maxey took charge when the Sixers […]
The Philadelphia Flyers can't let the Pittsburgh Penguins get an advantage while up 2-0 in the series.
With the No. 23 pick in the 2026 SB Nation NFL community mock draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select … Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn. Here’s the quick explanation I submitted in The NFL Feed (check that out if you haven’t already): I figured I’d expand on my reasoning here at BGN. But first, I have to […]
The Celtics took their foot off the gas and got beat because of it. Allowing the 76ers to shoot almost 49% from 3 shows the Celtics weren't serious on defense. Hopefully this loss wakes them up and they take care of business in the next 3 games. Last game I thought Sixers fans were mellowing a little but this game shows they are still insufferable. After hating and trashing their own team and coach through 1 and 3/4 games, suddenly they love their team and all the playe...
