Braves News: Opening Day, BravesVision deal, and more

Happy Opening Day, Braves Country! During Thursday’s presser, Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss informed the media that Drake Baldwin would be in the Opening Day lineup, but not behind the dish.

Remember When … John Scott accidentally became a fan favourite

The Montreal Canadiens have never been accused of being a boring franchise. This series is a look back at the moments that made you throw your hands up, lose your mind, ugly cry, hold your breath, scratch your head, and cheer so loudly you scared the dog … sometimes all at once. If you were there the first time around, you know. If you weren’t, hop in the DeLorean cause we’re going back in time. Every now and then, hockey throws you a storyline so delightfully absurd it’s hard to forget —...

Lightning battle back only to fall in overtime to Flames, 4-3

The Tampa Bay Lightning started their four-game road trip four points behind the Buffalo Sabres and a two-point lead on the Montreal Canadiens. Despite picking up seven out of eight points they are still four points behind the Sabres, but they did manage to stretch their lead over third-place Montreal to five points. They almost made it a perfect eight points on the road trip, but Ryan Strome’s shot in overtime trickled through Jonas Johansson to give the Calgary Flames a 4-3 win. Johanss...

Trippin’ on a Hole in a Paper Heart: Flyers 5, Blackhawks 1

In a sloppy, turnover-filled mess from start to finish, the Chicago Blackhawks fell 5-1 to the Philadelphia Flyers Thursday. The Flyers opened the scoring just 48 seconds into the game. Spencer Knight tried to play the puck to Artyom Levshunov, but Christian Dvorak hustled to intercept the pass and fed Alex Bump in front for an easy tap-in, giving the Flyers a 1-0 lead. Knight misplays it and the Flyers capitalize to open the scoring: pic.twitter.com/iiLIP7m9nm — BHF (@Blackhaw...

Craig Berube on Easton Cowan’s comment that the Senators’ first goal deflated the team: “I don’t understand this ‘deflated’ stuff, to be honest with you… It’s a cop out”

Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 5-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 29-29-13. On the difference in the game: The first period was good. We took a dumb penalty, in my opinion, and they scored. It was an unnecessary penalty. In the second period, they took […] The post Craig Berube on Easton Cowan’s comment that the Senators’ first goal deflated the team: “I don’t understand this ‘deflated’ stuff, to be honest with you… It’s a cop out” ap...

Mariners Opening Day Game Thread 2

Apologies for the late thread, I went out to say hi to staffers John and Isabelle who are in attendance at the game tonight. Luke Raley hit that game-tying nuke just as I got up so maybe now that I’m sitting down again we can have another, this time a go-ahead one.

Baylor Scheierman always felt this was coming

BOSTON — Baylor Scheierman never doubted he could do this. Not when he fell out of the rotation early on this season, not when he had a tough shooting stretch last Summer League in Las Vegas. The 25-year-old Celtics forward always saw this kind of success coming. “I’m super confident in my abilities,” Scheierman said […]
