Who Let These Guys In? The 2014 Flyers

Because it's the Cup.

The NHL keeps telling me this. It's the greatest playoffs in American sports "Because it's the Cup."

But there's another reason why the NHL can boast the best playoffs. It's because the competition is all so balanced. There's a true chance of an 8 seed upsetting a 1 seed in either conference. These teams have played against each other and fought hard all year. In the NHL playoffs it is the cream, and only the cream, that rises to the top. This means every game is a fight to the end. Every game is a battle that can be one by anyone. Anyone that is, except the Philadelphia Flyers.

I know, I know. They won Game 2 so clearly they can beat someone. But that was a fluke. I think Ray Emory must have snuck in some of that Super water from Space Jam and blocked 29 shots at the end of the game. But even with his super water induced body, he still let in 2 early goals! And don't even get me started on Games 1 and 3.

Bracket Busted? I feel your pain

Well Pros and Bros, the First big wave of the NCAA Tournament has come to a close. It was upset city in the early rounds and my bracket felt it...hard.

How did you do? Did you ace the upsets and survive with minimal damage? Is your Final Four still flawless and read for the battles this weekend?

Or does your Western Region look like it went sunbathing too long due to all the red? Was Georgetown in your final four? Was Gonzaga your national champion?

Yes.
Yes.
AND ...Yes. I mean who steps out of bounds the second the ball is in bounded in THAT situation!?!? SERIOULSY!?

Deep breaths. I will get through this. And that's what this is all about. I will get you through this.
