The Morning After Pill

The Morning After Pill is a daily recap of the previous days events from the sporting world. Certain teams and entire sports are left out due to an extreme lack of caring or crippling hangovers. It’s probably the hangovers though, and they might not even be crippling. That’s how we roll. Send tips to tips@ thegallyblog.com

NHL: This a much better start then yesterday’s auspicious one, as we’re starting with a real sport. Yeah, hockey is a real sport even if it’s run by an incompetent weasel.

: Or you know, get a huge raise

Anyways, last night both of the conference championship games were played. You’d think they’d spread them out so there was a game every night, but that just makes sense. The Chicago Blackhawks came into San Jose and won their 7th straight road game by a score of 4-2. The key to the game was San Jose’s inability to stay out of the penalty box. They had 22 minutes compared to Chicago’s 6. The Philadelphia Flyers on the other hand were arguably outplayed by the Montreal Canadians and still came out on top 3-0. The Flyers young goalie, Michael Leighton, has now become the third goalie to garner 2 straight shutouts to start the NHL conference finals.

NFL: In fantastically amazing news, a shitty QB leaving the NFL for the UFL and another is leaving the UFL for the NFL. Such drama and intrigue right? Well, Daunte Culpepper is set to join the Sacramento Mountain Lions while J.P. Losman is joining the Seattle Seahawks.

MLB: Zoinks! In beating the Astros 7-3, the Dodgers have wont their 9th straight game. Thats incredible. I mean, the MLB season is only 41 games so that’s huge. What’s that, the season is 162 games? Oh never mind then. Yesterday brought with it the news that the Red Sawx suck while today brings the news that the Yankees suck. The Red Sox outscored the Yanks 2-1 in the 9th inning and Papelbon didn’t blow the save today as they pulled off the 7-6 victory. Hanley Ramirez won’t appologize for dogging it the other day. In fact he claimed he was running as hard as he could for it after taking that line drive off his shin. You know what princess, suck it up.

NBA: The NBA held their draft lottery last night. In. The. Middle. Of. The. Playoffs. WTF? Anyways, the NJ Nets came into it with the greatest chance at the #1 after being as awful as the last season of SNL. Anyhoo, the winner of the lottery was the Washington Wizards while the Nets embarrassingly fell to the third pick. Look for the Wizards to take John Wall whenever they hold their draft, which is hopefully as dumb as holding the draft during the playoffs. The Celtics something something, merh.
