- The Flyers have made a goaltending switch in half of their games this postseason. Put Pekka Rinne in orange and the Flyers would have just played their fifth, maybe sixth, game today.
- Which sisters had a better week -- Kate and Pippa, or Henrik and Daniel? I know where my vote lies and I didn't even watch the royal wedding.

- I got some extra sleep Thursday night. I didn't mean to but there was nothing decent on TV.
- Steve Downie, Sean Bergenheim and Dominic Moore are not only the Bolts' best line but perhaps tops on all teams left in the postseason. Speedy, determined, physical, skilled and unbelievably irritating.

- Andrew Ference is to Jeff Halpern as David Steckel is to Sidney Crosby, only with a more pronounced lean.
- Dominic Moore's no-look passes to Sean Bergenheim are becoming Sedin-esque. Talk about chemistry.

The N.F.L. Draft ? Who Cares?
It’s only natural that everyone is excited about tomorrow night’s N.F.L. draft. With progress being made between the players and owners, and free-agency seemingly alive-and-well thanks to the courts, the draft marks the beginning of fantasy football season for diehards like me. Soon, if talks go well, players will report to camp and before you know it, fantasy drafts will be taking place again.Rotowire/Fanduel MLB Challenge: Can You Beat Dalton Del Don?

Stay For a Nightcap - Good Feeling Gone
- "Good Feeling Gone" - It's been awhile since I've riffed off of Finding Nemo, but that's the vibe I get from the Red Sox after Zach Britton shut them down. Granted, they're not the first nor the last to get bested by Britton, but this stood out in this past weekend's tour-de-force against the Angels. About the only negative from Britton was that he had only two strikeouts in his six innings, but I think that he's one of those "strikeouts will catch up to the stuff" pitchers. If you're drafting today, how much do you bid on him in an AL-only league? Where does he slot for you among starting pitchers?Whole Lotta Mock Draft

- Jonathan Quick showed us early why he's ranked at the Spec Mix Bricklayer 500 National Bricklayer Championships -- 16 shots and the same number saves in a torrid first. Some days he's really, really "on."
- So, if the Hawks are in Roberto Luongo's head then are the Lightning up Marc Andre Fleury's arse? Aren't these two supposed to be two of the best Canadian goalies in the NHL?

- Thomas Vanek and Daniel Briere go into dark alleys to score greasy, dirty goals. I hope the Leafs are recording those performances to show Phil Kessel this off-season.
- Patrick Kane finally woke up in OT. It only took six-plus games.

N.F.L. (non-draft) Trivia
This year marks the 50th anniversary of The M&M Boys (Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle) historic chase of Babe Ruth's single season home run record (which has absolutely nothing to do with football).NHL Playoff Observations -- Saturday Night

- Mike Green has a few screws loose... literally. Two screws went flying when he took a slap shot to the helmet in the first period. It's his third head injury since Feb. 5; his postseason goose could -- let me re-phrase, should -- be cooked.
- The Bruins should turn down all power plays -- they simply have no idea how to enter the zone with an extra man. I don't get it.

- It's almost impossible to fathom that the great sniping Steven Stamkos had zero shots in over 30 minutes of ice time.
- Two words: Pavel Datsyuk. Two more words: Conn Smythe.
