Flyers 5 Thrashers 2

It Was Over When....
The 3rd period began. The Flyers trailed 2-1 going into the 3rd period but by the time it ended they had rallied for 4 unanswered goals and a their first victory when trailing after 2 periods.
The Game Puck Goes To....
Dmitri Afanasenkov who scored the Flyers first goal of the night and assisted on what turned out to be Mike York's game winning goal early in the 3rd period.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
4, as in 4 goals scored by the Flyers in the 3rd period of tonight's game, to 0 scored by the Thrashers. I mean anytime you outscore the opposition 4-0 in any period of the game you have to feel good about your chances to win.
The Bottom Line Is....
I don't know what it is about the Thrashers but it seems like every time the Flyers play them something good happens. If only every game could be against the Thrashers, the Flyers might not be so bad, but unfortunately not every game is against the Thrashers and the Flyers really are that bad.

Warriors 102 Sixers 101
It Was Over When....
The Warriors Al Harrington hit a driving layup to put the Warriors up 102-101 with 1 second to play in the 4th quarter, as Andre Iguodala's subsequent desperation heave fell short to end the game.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Baron Davis with a game high 25 points and 12 assists, Monte Ellis with 21 points and 6 rebounds, Al Harrington with 11 points and 8 rebounds, Andres Biedrins with 11 points and 7 rebounds, and Mikael Pietrus with 13 points and 8 rebounds off the bench.
The Stat Of The game Is....
In a close game such as this one there is really no distinguishable stat between the two teams, so rather than look for one, we'll commend a statistical achievement instead. Therefore are stat for the night is, 25 as in 25 points, 13 as in 13 assists, and 10 as in 10 rebounds onthe night for the Sixers Andre Iguodala, his third career triple double and 2nd this season. Even in a losing effort it still rings true, so way to go Andre and keep up the good work.
The Bottom Line Is....
Yes Iguodala got a triple-double, but the Sixers still lost and that's all that matters. For, statistical achievement is great, but winning is even greater.

Devils 6 Flyers 5 Final in Overtime
It Was Over When....
The Devils Brad Lukowich scored off a deflection with about 4:10 remaining in overtime.
The Game Puck Goes To....
Brad Lukowich with a goal and an assist, Patrick Elias with a goal and 2 assists, Jamie Langenbrunner with a goal and an assist, Scott Gomez with 2 assists, Zach Parise with a goal and an assist, and Travis Zajac with 2 goals.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
Surprisingly the Flyers dominated the stat sheet tonight, however they still lost. Why? because the game went into overtime and the Devils scored and as usual the Flyers didn't. It's like I've been saying all year, if it's overtime it must be the other guys.
The Bottom Line Is....
Apparently this team has forgotten how to win at home. In fact, it's been over a month since the Flyers last won a game at home. Oh well, there's always next year fellas.

PHILLIES NEWS

The Phillies agreed with Right-hander Brett Myers to a $25.75 million, three-year contract, avoiding arbitration. Myers has won at least 11 games each of the past four seasons, and went 12-7 with a 3.91 ERA and 189 strikeouts last season, so this comes as no surprise. With Myers signed only relief Pitcher Geoff Geary remains on arbitration for the Phils.

Sixers 89 Hornets 78

It Was Over When....
Joe Smith hit a hook shot with just over 3 minutes to play in the 2nd quarter. From there the Sixers went on a 13-2 run to finish the half and take an 11 point lead which they would never relinquish.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Andre Iguodala with 22 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists, Steven Hunter with 12 points and 10 rebounds, Samuel Dalembert with 9 points and 15 rebounds, and Joe Smith with 12 points and 12 rebounds.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
58 as in 58 rebounds for the Sixers on the night to just 40 rebounds for the Hornets on the night. At the same time the Hornets shot only 39.3% from the field on the night. Obviously if you shoot poorly and you can't get any rebounds you're not going to score a lot of points and you're not usually going to win either.
The Bottom Line Is....
You know what, forget about all the troubles the Sixers have had this season, they're playing well right now, and that's all that matters. Sure it's probably too late for them to save this season, but hey at least now there's hope for next season.

It Was Over When....
The Lightning scored on their first 2 chances of the shootout and the Flyers failed to do so.
The Game Puck Goes To....
Martin St. Louis with a goal and an assist, and Vincent Lecavalier with 2 goals including the game tier with about 12 minutes to play in the 3rd period and the game winner in the shootout.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
2, as in 2 goals scored by the Lightning during the shootout to zero scored by the Flyers. I don't know what it is with shootouts, but thus far this season they just have not agreed with the Flyers this season.
The Bottom Line Is....
Well it's like I said happy days aren't ahead for this team, at least not this season.

Rockets 105 Sixers 84
It Was Over When....
Almost as soon as it started. The Sixers kept it close for about 6 minutes then the Rockets took their first lead of the game and never trailed again ,leading by double digits most of the way.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Rafer Alston with 12 points and 9 assists, Tracy Mcgrady with a game high 25 points, and Juwan Howard with 20 points and 10 rebounds.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
50.6 as in a 50.6 field goal shooting percentage for the Rockets on the night, to just a 38.6 field goal shooting percentage for the Sixers on the night. It's like I keep saying if you shoot well you win, if you don't you lose.
The Bottom Line Is....
Okay, maybe the Sixers aren't so good after all, or maybe the Rockets are just that much better than them, who knows

It Was Over When....

The Game Puck Goes To....
Jeff carter who scored both of the Flyers' goals on the night and goalie Antero Nittymaki who stopped 37 of the 38 shots he faced en route to his first win since late November.

For the most part the Thrashers dominated every statistical category on the night, except one, power play goals. The Flyers had 2 power play chances and scored 1 goal, while the Thrashers had 6 chances and failed to score on any of them.
The Bottom Line Is....
Well, another day another.... oh wait the Flyers actually won for a change, well how about that, I guess that just goes to show that everyone has their day and today belonged to the Flyers. Don't expect too many more days like it.
