GAME PREVIEW: Heat hosting another difficult matchup in rival Boston Celtics

The Miami Heat finally picked up an encouraging win in their previous Monday night win over the Philadelphia 76ers. A late run fueled by multiple clutch buckets from Tyler Herro secured the victory, snapping a two-game skid. However, Miami faces a daunting task in hopes of avoiding returning to the loss column— as they are […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat hosting another difficult matchup in rival Boston Celtics appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

Phillies news: Andrew Painter, Tucker Davidson, Colt Emerson

Now THAT is how you debut. It’s a rather nice feeling that both of the players that the Phillies are entrusting with important roles this year – Justin Crawford and Andrew Painter – got off to good starts in their first game rather than the duds that could have happened. We’d have all been fine […]

Wednesday Morning Fly By: Moment not met

*Once again did the Flyers HAVE to win last night? No. Not technically. But it would’ve both made a statement and made the road to the playoffs a little easier, so naturally they went out there and lost another game to another Metro Division rival. Rare stinker from Vladar. Recap . *Ahead of last night’s game we speculated on a few ways Porter Martone could made an instant impact on his new team. In hindsight, how’d we do? [ BSH ] *Apparently Martone drew quite a crowd to the trainin...

The Flyers hit the road for a quick trip down to DC to face off against their rival Capitals tonight, and with all the momentum in the world behind them, coming off of two huge wins in the weekend back-to-back, they struggled to continue to build on that, and stumbled their way to a 6-4 loss, further complicating their playoff hopes along the way. The Basics First period: 14:59- Tom Wilson (Dubois, Sandin), 18:35- Alex Ovechkin (Roy, McMichael) Second period: 0:39- Travis Sanheim (Ko...

Paint by numbers: Phillies 3, Nationals 2

Andrew Painter’s Phillies debut may have come a few years later than originally anticipated, but he made sure it was worth the wait. The 22-year-old right hander tallied 8 strikeouts through 5.1 innings while being charged with one run on four hits and a walk. Painter flashed an impressive arsenal of pitches and poise beyond […]

Poulin. Game […]

Rick Tocchet may have just revealed when Tyson Foerster is returning to the Flyers

While the news the last few days has been Porter Martone ending his career at Michigan State, signing his entry-level deal with the Flyers, and making his debut tonight against Washington, Philadelphia head coach Rick Tocchet might have let it slip that currently injured winger Tyson Foerster is on the way. It would be a massive boost for this team, if true. If his reply Tuesday morning was any indication, it appears that Foerster will be getting back to the lineup soon. Simply put, it so...

Looking for the good in the first four games

It’s hard to find optimism right now with the Phillies. They’ve largely stunk something fierce during these four games they have played so far, so looking for any kind of good can be a challenge. However, needles, haystacks, yada yada yada. But let’s try together. Let’s look for some of those rainbows in the clouds […]

Jaime Jaquez credits ‘one of our best halftimes ever’ for win over 76ers

Typically, a team playing for playoff seeding in late March has an extra sense of urgency. Every possession is magnified and the attention to detail increases. For the Miami Heat, every game became a must-win game to avoid the play-in. And for a brief moment, while a fourth-consecutive play-in appearance was never out of the […] The post Jaime Jaquez credits ‘one of our best halftimes ever’ for win over 76ers appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

Rick Tocchet reveals first Flyers lineup featuring Porter Martone

The day is here. The time has come. Porter Martone is going to step on the ice for the first time in an NHL game for the Philadelphia Flyers — it’s something we have all been dreaming about ever since they selected him sixth overall last year. Now, we get to see who he will be playing with in the lineup. The 19-year-old winger just wrapped up his college career after Michigan State were unceremoniously knocked out of the NCAA tournament, signed his entry-level contract with the Flyers the...

How Porter Martone could help fix the Flyers power play

The fanfare regarding the debut of Porter Martone is warranted for a lot of reasons, chief among them being that the Philadelphia Flyers are adding yet another potential top line forward for the future, who genuinely seems to want to play for the franchise.  But in more specific on-ice terms, there is one specific area that the Flyers desperately need help in, and that is on the man advantage.  In the midst of yet another year where they sit in 32nd in the NHL in power play perc...

Early season things to watch with the Phillies

It’s really difficult to make any concrete assertions about a baseball team after only four games. Sure, these games make the term “lethargic” look positively energetic, but even in the most negative point of view, there isn’t really much we can tell about this team yet. The only thing these games have done is reinforced […]

The Eagles have bigger problems than trying to trade A.J. Brown

It has been the ongoing storyline that has dominated the Eagles’ offseason: Will A.J. Brown be traded, and what team would be an appropriate trading partner? But there has been something looming even larger than does not get broached nowhere near as much as it should: The stability of the Eagles’ offensive line. The Eagles […]

3 ways Porter Martone could make an instant impact for the Flyers

The Philadelphia Flyers are going to be adding their top prospect to the lineup Tuesday night and it’s coming at the perfect time. In the middle of a revitalized playoff race, and especially after an incredibly impressive 2-1 overtime win over the Dallas Stars last Saturday, there is a real possibility that we could be seeing the postseason for the first time in Philadelphia since 2018. The excitement for the Flyers being possibly back in the playoffs is a thick fog rolling through the ci...

What are you looking for tonight in Andrew Painter’s debut?

Tonight’s Phillies game will feature one of the most anticipated MLB debuts in recent memory, at least for Philadelphia baseball fans. Top pitching prospect Andrew Painter will finally make his long awaited MLB debut, nearly three years after it was originally anticipated thanks to a torn UCL and Tommy John surgery.  The Phillies went into […]
