* The Flyers were crushed last night, 6-2, by the Anaheim Ducks, who got revenge for an earlier loss to Philly. The Flyers went 3-2 on their initial home stand. That's OK considering they played the likes of Washington and Nashville. But, in order to get to the top of their division, Philadelphia will need to play more consistent hockey, especially at home.
The next game for the Flyers is Thursday at Ottawa.

* The ramifications are still vibrating from the Markelle Fultz situation. now the Sixers are admitting Fultz has some kind of shoulder problem.
Duh...Trust your eyes. It was pretty obvious, watching him play, especially shooting free throws, that he is hurt. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know when a guy isn't right. The Sixers' medical staff and organization are infamous for lying. I don't trust them. Plus they don't seem to know what they are doing.
They limit games and minutes for Embiid, even though he says he is fine and wants to play, yet they clear Fultz to play, even though it's evident he can't play.
Fultz wouldn't be a No. 1 pick for the Sixers if he didn't have health problems. They should shut him down and get him right.
The Sixers are home tonight to face the tough Houston Rockets.

Game 1 of the World Series last night. Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw was his brilliant self, striking out 11 in 7 innings of work. All of the runs in the game came via home runs.
The Dodgers continue to be relentless in the post-season. They have only lost one game in three series. It's been a home field advantage post-season. That bodes well for LA, who play in Los Angeles again tonight against the Astros. Going up 2-0 would be big before the series shifts to Houston. Down 0-2, the Astros would almost have to sweep the three games at home. Splitting the series with a road win tonight make the series a whole different ballgame.
It was the hottest World Series game ever, with temperatures in the mid-to-upper 90s. We won't have to worry about icy cold or snow in the Fall Classic this year .But it's mild even here in the Northeast, so a game at Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, or even Citizens Bank Park, would've been no problem.
No Chase Utley last night for the Dodgers. Hopefully he gets to play before the series ends.
