Big Apple Sports: All New York Sports. All The Time.

I woke up this morning and realized that yesterday….
1. Isiah Thomas was fired.
2. The Mets defeated the Phillies and Cole Hamels.
3. The Rangers ousted the Devils from the playoffs.
Wow. What a great day. I don’t usually have ones like that (given my choice of teams).

Last night, the Devils scored three goals off fortunate bounces, including the game winner by John Madden in overtime, which bounced off of Marc Staal’s right skate. The previous two games featured goals on [...]

For an objective recap of the game action, I refer you to the Associated Press article.
This was a tremendous game to watch, lots of hitting, lots of aggressive plays. Although the final score does not indicate a close game, it was in fact a one goal affair until very late. Sean Avery scored a [...]

For the second time in three seasons, the New York Rangers and the New Jersey Devils will match up in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. It wasn’t a pretty series for the Rangers in 2006, who were swept by the Devils in four games. This was the series where a collision between Jaromir Jagr and then-Devil [...]

The Ottawa Senators fired their head coach John Paddock.
The Senators are in first place.
There are 18 games left in the season. The Sens are 4-4-2 in their last 10 games.
What?

In all honesty, I had never been “a blog guy,” before starting Big Apple Sports with Christian Chiavetta and Bill Slattery back in December.
We are now roughly two months into the site’s existence and I’m learning a lot about the blogosphere and the immense volume of sports blogs which I didn’t know existed. Without a [...]
