Yea, verily, your infra-underdawg Philalala Phlyers accomplished what most considered undoable: they beat the superior Pgh., Penna., Peng-a-wins by 4 games to 2 in their Eastern Conference quarterfinal of your 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs in the big-league ice hockey. The Flyers looked invincible after winning the first three games of the series; however, it was starting to feel a little shaky after The Pitt won Games 4 & 5 and seemed ready to take last night’s Game 6 in overtime, continually abusing the Phila. defense through the first 15 mins. of the extra period. Only the nonstop, last-gasp netminding heroics of Flyer goaltender Dannie Vladar kept the game deadlocked at nil. And then the magic happened, with the game- and series-winning goal coming with 3 mins. left in the overtime, completely against the run of play, on a post-ringing and scoreboard-dinging shot from Flyer defenseman Cameron York. Vladar, York & on to the Eastern Conference semifinals next week against the vaunted Carolina Hurricanes.

Goodbye Week continues apace now. While we were expecting your No. London Arse to bid farewell to their next chance at hardware this season, their 1-all draw in this evening’s first leg of their Champions League semifinal means that they will force us into yet a few more days of enduring their unique brand of exquisite sporture. Nonetheless, we say goodbye to the good man in today’s video lede; he won 31 games in a row before being stopped by some oddball chess personality (are there ever any grandmaster-level chess players who are NOT ODDBALLS? NO, THERE ARE NOT! THEY ARE ALL ODDBALLS, and THIS GUY IS RELATABLE TO THE HOI POLLOI, TOO, FOR REASONS OTHER THAN CHESS, WHICH OF COURSE MAKES HIM AN ODDBALL EVEN IN RELATION TO THE USUAL HIGH ODDBALL STANDARDS OF ODDBALL GRANDMASTER-LEVEL CHESS PEOPLE! WHILE MOST CHESS GRANDMASTERS ARE PLAYING REGULAR-OLD ODDBALL, THIS GUY IS PLAYING 4-D ODDBALL REALLY; THINK ABOUT IT, 4-D ODDBALL).

A week of goodbyes continues. Sunday it was maybe the greatest Los Angeles King, Mistah Anze Kopitar, putting in his last shift on the ice, getting his stick taps from friend & foe alike, with even the officials standing in applause. Today, it was a much less ceremonious so-long to Philalala Phillies Manager Rob Thomson, who had to be the fall guy for the team’s current status as doormat & basement-dweller among MLB teams. Who’s next?

Armenia the oldest Xian nation on earth, and the Turks always wanted to wipe out their neighbors whom they considered infidels, etc. We stand with our bros. & sisters in Yerevan & all over Glendale, Calif., and beyond. Genats’t!

Ladies & gentlemen, the exquisite sporture of the Philadelphia big-league athletic scene right now. On top (but only in terms of today’s video lede!), your phlagging Philalala PhiLLLLLLLLLies, losers of nine in a row — and counting! Below, your fantastical Philalala Flyers, winners of six-straight, the last three of which have come in their first-round Stanley Cup Playoff matchup against the suddenly old & cranky Pgh. Peng-a-wins. In comparison, the Philies last six wins have been scattered among 14 losing efforts! Yow!

Wednesday! Earth Day!
