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.

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.

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.

Well it's like I said happy days aren't ahead for this team, at least not this season.

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

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.

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.
