Philadelphia Flyers Miss The (NHL) Point


Flyers


Not to be overly nervous, but one has to wonder if missing the opportunity to take two points (while only gaining one) against the Florida Panthers will come back to bite the Flyers?

In a 48-game season everything is naturally magnified. 

The best test of whether this generally young-at-heart Philadelphia hockey team actually has a chance to make regular season progress will be their ability to string together a few long winning streaks. Not just two games in a row.

Pitchers and Catchers Report to Spring Training Next Monday


Phillies

Hearing that pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report to spring training next Monday (2/11/13) is both exciting and somewhat jarring. 

The Super Bowl just ended, there is snow on the ground across the country and the hockey season just started. 

The World Baseball Classic is at play in the framing of this season's spring training schedule. Not a huge fan of that competition, but it is somewhat interesting.

Philadelphia Phillies Spring Training Questions

Phillies

Where will the offense come from this season?

Is it realistic to split the difference between a .500 season and last year's 102 wins, by saying that the Phillies will win 91, or 92, games.

If one of the team's 'Big 3' pitchers go down with a long-term injury, might the current playoff streak be jeopardized.

Phillies

When will Utley make his 2012 seasonal debut?

When he does that, will he be a platoon player?

Last season, he performed well in the NLDS. If/when the Phillies make the postseason, can he duplicate that effort?

How many total regular season games will he play during these last two years of his contract?

Does the fragile state of his knees make him more vulnerable to a career-ending injury at any time?
