Latest blog entries from Philadelphia teams across every league
In honor of the Philadelphia Phillies playing host to the 2026 Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park, we here at The Good Phight are launching a yearlong series that focuses on the history of the Phillies and the All-Star Game. Check back regularly for posts about the Phillies participation (or lack thereof) in […]
Tyson Foerster was supposed to miss the rest of the season. The Philadelphia Flyers were fully expecting to be without one of their best wingers for multiple months and resigned with the fact that they will just try it all again next season, with him ready to go again at training camp this fall, after he suffered a brutal injury during a game all the way back in December. Well, they’re completely wrong and Foerster is now making a shockingly early return to the Flyers lineup in the middle...
Folks, we did it. We’re Andy Dufresne at the end of The Shawshank Redemption . We’ve tunnelled out, and we’re finally free. We may not look or smell right for a while, but we’re out. It was hell. But we’re innocent. (Sorry for any spoilers of a 32-year-old film.) It’s April. Believe it or not, this was actually the best March the Red Wings have had in the last six years (and the year prior was when COVID hit so… it’s the best in the last seven years): 2020-21: 5-7-1 (11 pts...
You couldn’t have drawn up Wednesday night’s results any better as a Philadelphia 76ers fan. The Sixers overcame Joel Embiid’s illness-related absence and a poor defensive effort in the first half to defeat Washington, 153-131. Good and fun to watch, but certainly not unexpected against a Wizards team at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. […]
The Wizards accomplished a few things in their 153-131 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, the most important of which was moving back to the top of the NBA’s Draft Lottery standings. Their loss, paired with the Indiana Pacers getting a second straight win, puts Washington back into “league worst” status. Some of their “accomplishments” last […]
With another crucial game Thursday against Detroit, the Philadelphia Flyers find themselves on the outside looking in, but nearing the doorstep. A victory against the Red Wings and that pushes them to 88 points. Should they have any semblance of good fortune they had Tuesday night concerning the other four teams in the hunt (Islanders, Columbus, Ottawa, and Detroit) losing, it could put them into a playoff spot. That’s the smaller picture. Others might see this upcoming three-in-four as t...
With today officially marking the one-week mark of the Phillies season, it also means that we have reached the conclusion of the first week of Justin Crawford’s major league career. And what a week it was. Crawford has stepped right in and provided a spark, capped off by his walk-off single in extras on Wednesday. […]
What a great couple of days for the Phillies rookies. First, Andrew Painter dazzled in his first start and stopped a three-game losing streak, and then less than 24 hours later, Justin Crawford collected his first walk-off hit and RBI in the tenth inning to cap off a memorable comeback. There will surely be growing […]
After a nice bounce back win against the Philadelphia 76ers earlier in the week, the Miami Heat failed to keep it going with the Boston Celtics in town on Wednesday. Boston stormed into Kaseya Center and picked apart the Heat defense on route to a 147-129 loss for Miami. The loss is the Heat’s third […] The post Celtics’ offense too much for Heat to handle in 147-129 blowout loss appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
*The Flyers have yet another opportunity to gain some ground on a team dead even with them in the playoff race tonight when they meet up with the Detroit Red Wings, again. Now would be a really good time to start getting your shit together and winning some games. Anyhoo, before this game you can read Chuck’s thoughts about the last one. [ PHLY ] *Naturally most of the Other Flyers were asked what they thought of Porter Martone’s debut and naturally they all had glowing things to say. Kid ...

The Washington Wizards got demolished by the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday in a 153-131 contest at Capital One Arena. The Wizards had some scoring fun in a defense-optional first half. Tristan Vukcevic got hot with 10 early points to pace Washington, but Paul George turned back the clock with 14 of his own as the […]
The Philadelphia Flyers have locked up what they hope is a core piece of the blueline. The team announced on Wednesday, they've signed right-handed defenceman David Jiricek to a two-year contract extension worth $1.5 million AAV. Jiricek was acquired by the Flyers ahead of this season's trade deadline, in a deal that saw Bobby Brink head to the Minnesota Wild. Jiricek, 22, has been playing with the AHL's Lehigh Valley Phantoms since the deal went down, and has two goals and 10 points in 10 gam...
Despite it being April Fools’ day, the Flyers have made a serious move. The team announced on Wednesday that they have agreed to a two-year contract extension with newly-acquired 22-year old defenseman David Jiricek, that will pay the former sixth overall pick 1.5 million dollars per year. BREAKING: We have signed defenseman David Jiricek to a two-year contract extension worth an annual average value (AAV) of $1.5 million. #LetsGoFlyers — Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) April ...
The Washington Nationals suffered their first truly heartbreaking loss of the season. They had a 5-1 lead in the 7th inning, but could not finish off the Phillies. The veteran laden Phillies took advantage of the young Nats issuing walks and making mistakes in the field. Blake Butera’s bunch fought, but they could not finish. […]
The Philadelphia Flyers have eight games left to make the playoffs, lose heartbreakingly due to a regulation wins tie-breaker, or just fall on their faces in the final two weeks and change. With eight games in 13 days, they have their work cut out for them to get over the hump, leaping over a few other teams while hoping some scoreboard watching goes their way. It couldn’t have gone any better for the Flyers Tuesday night as Columbus, the Islanders, Detroit, and Ottawa all lost. Unfortuna...
Things are just different when it comes to sports in Philadelphia. The microscope players are under and the feedback they receive from this fervent fan base, through both good times and bad, is unparalleled. For a city that’s been relatively light on championships for the last century, goodwill is hard to come by. It’s what […]
Flyers rookie Porter Martone delivered some flash in his much-anticipated NHL debut.
As they move into their final month of the regular season, the Phantoms appear to be making some changes to their lineup. The team announced this morning that rookie goaltender Carson Bjarnason has been loaned down to Reading of the ECHL, and Yaniv Perets has been recalled to replace him. Perets has played three games with the Phantoms this season as an injury call-up, and performed reasonably well — his .873 save percentage over those three games isn’t world-beating, but the eye wo...
Recently, fellow PSA writer Jeff Middleton wrote an appealing article covering the Hope-O-Meter poll that The Athletic conducted and how it showed a particularly pessimistic outlook regarding the Yankees in 2026—check that out over here. It sort of goes without saying that each outlook is assessed while keeping the expectations for that specific team in […]
After the Nats dominated in game one, the Phillies pulled out a close one in game two. Now it is time for a rubber match in Philly. Both teams will have their aces on the mound, so this should be a good one. The Nats are looking for their second straight series win to open […]
Here are the lineups for the series finale against Washington, with a chance to win the series. Cristopher Sanchez looks for his second win of the season, while the Nats’ Cade Cavalli looks for his first. For the Phillies: For the Nationals:
Update, 1:30 p.m.: Troel is here. Who the hell knows what’s happening. Well, the bad news is that the Philadelphia 76ers will not have Joel Embiid available on Wednesday. The good news is that they’re playing a Washington Wizards team that has only won one of their last 20 contests. Embiid appeared on the Sixers’ […]

For all the talk of Dombrowski running the team back, there are a few significant players and faces who made up the 2022-25 run, now gone. Ranger Suárez signed a five-year deal with Boston, Nick Castellanos is trying to prove himself in San Diego, and Matt Strahm returned to the city that started his career […]
