I love how people are complaining about the Sixers having too many big men if that happens. Can you imagine the Flyers being like "poop! We have too many young, #1 dmen on the team!"

I didn't know you could have a basketball roster with 6 centers on it.

I can't comment on the beer drinker, but you're wrong about the first part. If only he'd trimmed his sideburns...

Yep...giving power to sportswriters, is generally a bad idea.

With each Lightning loss, the draft pick keeps getting better and better!
They've gone in the proverbial tank since they acquired Coburn.

You can have one with 2 Centers and a power forward. In fact, several teams employ this method

That's pathetic. Way too many games settled after regulation time ends.
- Scoob


it's a (frank)ing disgrace, and par for the course that they've squandered so many goddamn points, but hey, the SO doesn't matter.

Just looking at the standings. Really amazing that the Flyers have 17 OTL/SO losses.

Also, they're pretty much locked in to the 7 or 8 seed depending on what happens with CBJ. Outside shot at 6 but having the Devils make up 3 points with 6 games left is wishful imo.

- PhillySportsGuy


What's more likely making up 3 points with 6 games left, or coming back from a 3-1 playoff deficit?

I'd say making up 3 points. You mean coming back to win the series, not just even it up right?

HA! The most compelling question with them is what type of return do they get for Hamels.

At least this year they're not allowing the batter to wander aimlessly, adjust his jock strap, knock the imaginary dirt off of his cleats, adjust whatever body armor he's wearing, and waste 25 seconds or so between every pitch.
