Maple Leafs 8, Islanders 1: Maybe they were worn out from facing the Rangers on Wednesday. Maybe they had a tough time getting through customs. Whatever the reason, the Islanders played an embarrassingly flat game in Toronto on Thursday and suffered their second loss of the season. Wade Dubielewicz was the sacrificial lamb and spent all 60 minutes in net. The Isles continue their three-game road trip in Philadelphia on Saturday night. Panthers 3, Devils......

Rockets 112, Nets 91: Richard Jefferson returned to a basketball game for the first time since Jan. 22, but that didn't do the Nets too much good. Bostjan Nachbar had a career-high 29 points, but that didn't help either. New Jersey has lost four straight games and is in the middle of another drought. With each week, the playoffs draw nearer and the Nets' margin of error shrinks. How quickly they readjust to Jefferson......

Panthers 3, Rangers 2: Things seemed to be going OK for the Rangers until the third period. Then, just over three minutes in, two Florida goals within 19 seconds of each other erased the Rangers' two-goal lead. The Panthers broke the tie when Rostislav Olesz scored 11:10 into the final period. The stunned Rangers couldn't recover and lost their fourth straight game. All the losses during the streak have been ugly, and this one was......

The Giants took advantage of a lot of Carolina mistakes to cruise to a relatively easy 27-13 victory. The Panthers turned the ball over three times, all in the second half and therefore managed only 13 points despite amassing 463 total yards. New York took an early 10-0 lead off of some solid running by Tiki Barber and a nice catch by Plaxico Burress. Carolina came back to tie the game as the Giants......

Earlier this week, Gothamist thought that St. John's win over Louisville was the win of the season for the team. Well, we were mistaken because yesterday they defeated Pittsburgh, 55-50, at Madison Square Garden. The 9th ranked Panthers entered the game as one of three undefeated teams left in the nation, but like the Duke Blue Devils and the Florida Gators, they ended the day with their first loss. The win was reminiscent of better......

The Giants provided a miserable end to their season on Sunday. They were thoroughly dominated on both sides of the ball as Carolina humiliated them 23-0. It was the first time a home team had been shutout in the playoffs since 1979. Some will pin the loss on Eli Manning’s shoulders and he certainly deserves part of the blame. Eli was terrible, completing ten of eighteen passes for 108 yards while tossing three interceptions and......
