• Rangers “outwork” Sabres, 2-1.

  
  The Hockey Writers — Authority: 556
  By Jon Gabrielle, NY Rangers correspondent     If Brian Boyle’s shot, that hit the post with 70 seconds remaining, didn’t add more grey to John Tortorella’s already aging goatee, then certainly Jason Pomenville’s goal with 59 seconds left, surely did. With the score 2-0 Rangers, and Buffalo using an ...

  iSportacus — Authority: 432
  John Stevens was fired today by the Flyers. In four seasons behind the Flyers bench, Stevens was 120-109-34 and his playoff record was 11-12. True, these numbers aren’t stellar but they aren’t terrible either. Stevens took over in ‘06 with a team that was historically awful, posting a record of 21-42-11. In his ...

• Senators struggling to find “identity”

  
  The Hockey Writers — Authority: 556
  A little over a quarter way into the season and the Senators are 4 games above five hundred. Not bad, considering your best centreman is going through one of the biggest slumps of his young career, and you’re supposed starting goaltender is down with yet another injury (as freakish as it was). The Senators have ...

• NBA Power Rankings East 12-3

  
  The Sports Bank.Net — Authority: 512
  1. Boston Celtics (14-4) Center Kendrick Perkins has a higher FG% on the season than FT%. A rarity in this league. Also a complement and an insult at the same time. 2. Orlando Magic (15-4) Everyone talks about the big three of Carter, Howard and Lewis, but the true keys to them winning the conference again lie ...

  Stamkos should crack the 40 goal mark (Photo courtesy of Wendy Bullard.)   As long as the Lightning are able to retain the services of both Lecavalier and St. Louis, fans expect the team scoring to be a little lop sided.

• A Move That Needs To Be Made

  
  The 3rd String Safety — Authority: 141
  I love it when there are some really obvious moves in the world of sports that general managers should make and they flat out ignore it or make up some BS reason as to why they choose to no longer pursue a certain athlete. I might not be like Jason, who thrives at mixing and matching players’ contracts or figuring ...
