After the trade of WR Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this month (thoughts and prayers to me, the saddest girl), it looks like the Green Bay Packers might be done making major moves, with the exception of the 2026 NFL Draft this week. With the roster looking very different than it did last […]
BOSTON — With the first quarter clock winding down, Jordan Walsh sprinted as fast as he could down the court. In perfect harmony, Jayson Tatum found him for a transition layup to beat the buzzer, and the Celtics extended their lead over the Philadelphia 76ers to 15 in the opening game of the playoffs. In […]
It was a big weekend for Philadelphia sports. The Sixers and Flyers began their first-round playoff series, while the Phillies hosted the first-place Braves for a three-game series. The Flyers came through with a hard fought 3-2 win on Saturday night. But the rest of the weekend did not go well for the city (that […]
The Philadelphia Flyers went into Pittsburgh and got a 3-2 upset win over the Penguins in Game 1 on Saturday night.
Philadelphia never trailed in the game, as a strong defensive effort limited the Penguins’ chances, and the Flyers were able to capitalize on a few of theirs.
Let’s take a deeper look at all five goals in the Flyers’ 3-2 win using NHL.com’s EDGE Goal Visualizer.

Grant Holmes and the Braves are hoping to sweep the leg vs. the Philadelphia Phillies in the series finale on Peacock. First pitch is scheduled for 7:20 pm ET. Game Notes Pitching matchup Lineups
The Phillies will try to salvage the final game of their series against the Atlanta Braves. The offense has been largely non-existent in the first two games, as the Phillies have lost by scores of 9-0 and 3-1. Righthander Andrew Painter will be given the ball in an attempt to avoid a sweep. The Braves […]
While the Florida Panthers had a rough 2025-26 season, A.J. Greer had a career year with the Atlantic Division club. In 78 games this season with the Cats, he set new career highs with 17 goals, 15 assists, and 32 points. He also had 203 hits on the season. Due to this, Greer will generate a lot of interest if he decides to test the free-agent market this summer. If he does become a UFA this offseason, these three teams could look to sign him. Philadelphia Flyers The Flyers could b...
A sweep on Sunday Night Baseball sounds pretty sweet to me. The Atlanta Braves will run with their standard lineup opposing RHPs to face Phillies rookie Andrew Painter. Michael Harris II, who came into last night’s game in the seventh once lefty Cristopher Sanchez departed, is back in his usual spot in the nine hole […]
Twenty-two times, the Celtics and 76ers have tipped off a playoff series with Boston owning a 15-7 lead. Their 23rd meeting started with a 123-91 blowout in Game 1 of this year’s first round series with the Jays combining for 51 points and 10 assists. If there was any doubt that Jayson Tatum wasn’t ready […]
Yeah, I don’t know what I expected. The Sixers got crushed 123-91 in Game 1 by the Boston Celtics Sunday afternoon, falling down 1-0 in the series. Tyrese Maxey was unable to pull a rabbit out of the hat, leading the Sixers with 21 points shooting 8-of-20 from the floor along with eight assists. Paul […]
It’s NFL Draft Season! Before you read, some important context… I’ve ranked these players based on the Eagles’ needs and scheme fit. So while I may rate player ‘X’ higher than player ‘Y’ on pure talent, ‘Y’ could rank higher here due to fit or need. Focus more on tiers than exact order. Players in […]
Heading into Game 1 of a series in which 10 of your players are playing their first career postseason game, the physical battle is not necessarily something you would expect to win. That should only be amplified when you consider that players like Denver Barkey, Matvei Michkov, and Trevor Zegras aren’t exactly players who look to set the tone with their physical play.
But despite a gap in experience and even physical stature, The Flyers came out hitting anything that moved. In the first p...

Philadelphia Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet wasn’t sure what to expect from his 10 players making their maiden voyage into the National Hockey League playoffs. But he couldn’t have been happier with how the team played in Game 1 on the road, and how the veterans and the youngsters seemed to take it all in stride.
“I don’t know if I was surprised, but the demeanor in today’s game, yesterday, I thought just the way they approached the game,” Tocchet said following Philadephia’s 3-2 win Satu...
It’s ugly right now. The offense isn’t hitting, the defense can’t field and the pitching hasn’t been as sharp as we’ve seen in the past. There feels like a lot is just off with the team. People can still say it’s early and that they had time while also admitting that things need to get […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins played a disjointed opening game against the Flyers and ended up falling 3-2 to their instate rivals to kick off their 2026 playoff series. Where’d it all go wrong (aside from just about everything in the first 20-55 minutes?) Let’s take a look. They weren’t alone in it, but the Sam Girard […]
The Philadelphia Flyers were able to walk away from Game 1 of the first round against the Pittsburgh Penguins — the team’s first playoff game since 2020 and the first ever for so many players on this team — with a very impressive 3-2 win.
But it made a larger impact than just putting them up 1-0 in the series, several players were raving about the win and how impressive some individual performances were.

Calling up Felix Reyes was an idea that someone in the front office had in order to give the offense a spark. “Moribund” is an adjective that isn’t used enough, but it’s accurate in describing what the Phillies’ offense has been of late. Reyes hitting a home run on the first strike he saw was […]
After a roller coaster regular season, the Philadelphia 76ers handled business in the Play-In Tournament against Orlando, earning the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference and a first-round matchup against the rival Boston Celtics. In Game 1 this afternoon in Boston, the Celtics are 13-point favorites to take a 1-0 lead in the series, and […]
