FLYERS NEWS

Senators 3 Flyers 2
It Was Over When....
Peter Schaefer scored the Senators 3rd and final goal of the night to give them an insurmountable 3-1 lead.
The Game Puck Goes To....
Mike Comrie with a goal and an assist.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
28, as in 28 saves out 30 shots on the night for Ottawa goalie Martin Gerber, to just 30 saves out of 33 shots on the night for Flyer's Martin Biron. Biron was good tonight, but not good enough. Of course if the defense in front of him had not allowed so many shots on goal it could have been a different story.
The Bottom Line Is....
Yeah, the Flyers lost to the playoff bound Senators tonight, but at least they fought them hard to the bitter end and made them earn it.

PHILLIES NEWS

The Phils continued spring training today with a 3-2 win over Yanks, highlighted by a solid 4 and 1/3rd innings pitched by Jamie Moyer, giving up just one run. Also once again no one was injured.

The Game Ball Goes To....
Andre Miller with 16 points, 7 assists, and 7 rebounds, Steven Hunter with 7 points and 11 rebounds, Andre Iguodala with a game high 23 points and 9 rebounds, and Samuel Dalembert with 17 points and 7 rebounds.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
43, as in 43 rebounds on the night for the Sixers, to just 38 rebounds on the night for the Jazz. Once again the Sixers used the rebounding advantage to get the win.
The Bottom Line Is....
After 2 straight losses the Sixers needed this game to keep their playoff hopes alive, and so they did as they remain 4.5 games behind the Orlando Magic for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

PHILLIES NEWS

The phils continued spring training today with a forgettable 12-9 loss to the Tigers. Once again though, no one was injured.

EAGLES NEWS

After being pretty quiet for most of the off-season, the Eagles have made some big noise that last couple days. Yesterday they signed free agent WR Kevin Curtis to a 5 year 32 million deal, obviously to help fillthe void left by Donte stallworth. Today, they followed that up by re-signing running back Corell Buckhalter to a 2 year deal.

Flyers 3 Thrashers 2
It Was Over Then....
Geoff Sanderson scored early in the 3rd period to give the Flyers what turned out to be an insurmountable 3-1 lead.
The Game Puck Goes To....
Stefan Ruzicka with a goal and an assist, and Geoff Sanderson with a goal and an assist.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
37, as in 37 saves out of 39 shots by goalie Martin Biron, to just 33 saves out of 36 shots by Thrashers goalie Kare Lehtonen. What a surprise, Biron gets back in lineup and the Flyers win.
The Bottom Line Is....
I don't know what it is, but for some reason the Flyers just can't lose to the Thrashers, in fact they swept their season series with the Thrashers with today's win. If only every game could be against the Thrashers.

PHILLIES NEWS

The Phils got roughed up by the Blue Jays today, 11-6, but hey these things happen in spring training. Anyway, once again no one was injured.

Bulls 88 Sixers 87
It Was Over When....
Andre Iguodala missed a three pointer at the buzzer. Prior to that Kirk Heinrich had hit a jump shot to give the Bulls the lead for good.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Kirk Heinrich with 14 points and 5 rebounds, P.J Brown with 11 points and 7 rebounds, Luol Deng with 20 points and 6 assists, Ben Wallace with a near triple double(10 points, 8 assists, 11 rebounds), and Chris Duhon with 10 points off the bench.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
45, as in 45 rebounds on the night for the Bulls, to just 30 for the Sixers. Once again the Sixers were outrebounded and once again they lost.
The Bottom Line Is....
Well the Sixers have started a new streak, but unfortunately it's a losing streak. With tonight's loss the Sixers drop back to 5.5 games behind the Orlando Magic for the last playoff spot in the Eastern conference. Thus with only 17 games to play, it seems as if the draft lottery is more likely for the Sixers now than the playoffs.

EAGLES NEWS

Just a little tidbit I forgot to mention earlier this week, Donte Stallworth has agreed with the Patriots to a 6 year 33.1 million deal. Thus, Stallworth as has been commonly believed, will not be returning to the Eagles next season.

Hawks 102 Sixers 94
It Was Over When....
It started. The Hawks jumped out to an early lead and never looked back, taking a 29 point lead at one point in the 3rd quarter.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Anthony Johnson with 10 points and 8 assists, Josh Smith with 26 points and 17 rebounds, Zaza Pachulia with 15 points and 10 rebounds, and Tyron Lue with 10 points off the bench.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
47, as in 47 rebounds on the night for the Hawks, to just 33 for the Sixers on the night. Basically, the Sixers got a bitter taste of their own medicine.
The Bottom Line Is....
Well, all good things must come to an end, or as Isaac Newton would say what goes up must come down, and sadly after a 7 game winning streak the Sixers came back down to earth tonight in a big way. Hopefully, they still have a few winning streaks left in them, or its good bye playoffs, and hello draft lottery.

PHILLIES NEWS

The Phils beat the Devil Rays today 11-8, but I mean really who hasn't. Anyway, once again no one got injured.

FLYERS NEWS

Stars 3 Flyers 2
It Was Over When....
Mike Modano scored the Stars 3rd goal of the night just 9 minutes into the 3rd period. The goal gave the Stars a 3-1 lead which they would never relinquish.
The Game Puck Goes To....
Jusso Jokinen with a goal and an assist.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
33, as in 33 shots on goal for the Stars on the night, to just 19 for the Flyers. Like, before simply outshooting the Flyers was all Dallas needed to do to win.
The Bottom Line Is....
Well, Antero Nittymaki got the start tonight, and look what happened, the Flyers lost. It's time to start using Biron more often.

24, as in 24 saves on 24 shots for Coyotes goalie Mikael Tellqvist, to just 20 saves on 24 shots or Flyers goalie Martin Biron. It was just Tellqvist's night.
The Bottom Line Is....
