[Philadelphia Phillies @Phillies]

The Phillies are saddened to learn of the passing of Al Holland, who spent parts of three seasons with the club from 1983-85. As a dominant closer, Al was an integral part of the team’s winning the National League pennant in 1983 and was an All-Star in 1984. The club and fans are forever grateful for his contributions and the legacy he leaves behind in Philadelphia.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Al’s family, friends, and former teammates at this difficult time.

The Spurs need to tell Fox to stop shooting.
The Knicks can tell Brunson to never stop shooting.

So just maybe Mitch Marner wasn’t the problem in Toronto.

Of course Wembanyama can shoot but maybe someone who is 7’4 with the wingspan of Rodan should get the ball near the basket on the last shot?

Who in New York is taking out a second mortgage to buy Game 3 tickets?

Quite a job by Torts. Anyone have Vegas in the finals in April?

Games 5 and 6 have been mirror images with the exception of the Canadiens and Sabres switching places.

Just in: Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has been ruled out for Game 2 tonight against the New York Knicks due to ankle and hip injuries, sources tell ESPN.

Sabres get the Canadiens after beating the Bruins.
All we need are the Whalers and Nordiques on the other side of the Adams Division bracket.

The Sabres didn't win a road game this season until November 15th.
They just won three games in Boston and are off to the second round.

@ByMHarrington Not a clinching situation obviously but this has some Game 6 in 2006 in Philly vibes to it.

[Ed Benkin @EdBenkin]

So much for Ottawa being a team nobody wanted to play. Flyers and Hurricanes each one win away from the Brind'Amour series.
