NBA – It's so nice of Ray Allen to be a productive member of The Big Three for once. He put in 29 points capped by a last-minute jumper to hold off a Pistons rally en route to a 106-102 Game 5 win. There being a little more volatility in this series with each team's ability to win on the road, Game 6 is no given for the Pistons back in Detroit. Should be interesting what insulated chamber they use to transport Mr. Glass, Rip Hamilton, who managed to get hurt eighteen different ways last night. Poked in the eyes when you have a face mash? That's just good aim.
NHL – Wellie, wellie, well, those Penguins looked a little shaky during most of the 1st period, but rallied hard to get up 2-0 through the early part of the 2nd period, thanks to two Sid Crosby goals. The 3-2 win moved the Penguins to 9-0 this postseason at home, which is a great stat for a team that needs at least one road win. The Red Wings definitely didn't look anywhere near as cowed as the Pens looked on the road, so the series hasn't quite swung yet, but, hey!, Pittsburgh scored.
MLB – So many other otherwise interminable sports being in a constant state of playoffs only further plunges early-season baseball into a state of irrelevancy. At we know this much: Chase Utley doing okay…Erik Bedard not usually this good…Yankees seemed to celebrate a lot of broken sweeps these days…Soriano is quixotic… The Royals are not.

its about time the penguins showed up.
The most important part of the NHL playoffs is that with each passing game, they get closer to the draft. And that means Zach Bogosian -> Kings.
Go Kings!
I feel the same way about the MLB regular season and playoffs. With each passing day of 73 games, it will be over sooner. Not because I'm looking forward to anything in particular. It'll just be over sooner.
Think the kings will take Bogo JJ? He's pretty fun to watch, he plays for the OHL team in my city, and he was just about the only thing that made my season tickets worthwhile.
Can someone wake me when football starts back up?
Please explain how wearing a mask prevents an eye poke.
Nice try, Rip. Way to dip back into the archives with the Al Czervik technique for faking arm injuries.
Man that Igloo was pumped up last night. Too bad there is such a delay till Game 4. Who the hell is watching on Saturday nights anyway?
Merk: well, I can't say for sure, but thats what I'd like to see. Of the top 4 defensemen in the draft, Bogo seems to be the most well-rounded.
You guys don't no how bad I hate Boston…May hatred runs so deep. I can't stand there love for geriatric players.
Oh and is it just me or why Everytime there is a blown whistle in the basketball game, that the guy with the ball just shoots it for the hell of it..that the celtic players make a conscious effort to go up in block the shot…What is up with that. It is a dead ball why try to block it. Fucknig Pricks.
