The fight-filled Calgary Flames-Vancouver Canucks game had altercations on and off the ice on Saturday night -- and now its led to an online war of words. Nmd Norge Shop . Peter Gammons, an analyst for Major League Baseballs network and website, drew the ire of hockey fans on Sunday when he criticized the two NHL teams on Twitter for their physical game the night before. "Calgary and Vancouver last night reiterated why the NHL is a minor sport," said Gammons ((at)pgammo) from his verified Twitter account. The tweet referred to the Canucks 3-2 shootout win over the Flames, which saw over 200 minutes of penalties and eight game misconducts. The fights werent limited to the ice as Vancouver head coach John Tortorella got into an altercation with Calgary enforcer Brian McGrattan and goalie coach Clint Malarchuk outside the Flames locker-room during the first intermission. Criticism of Gammons tweet came quickly after Fox Sports 1 anchor Jay Onrait -- a Calgary native -- retweeted the remarks with the added note "Shots fired." "seriously though, who is Peter Gammons? He has a puppy and flowers as his avatar," said professional golfer Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask. Onrait quickly replied to DeLaet, comparing Gammons to TSN hockey analyst Bob McKenzie. "He is the Bob McKenzie of MLB I suppose. Bob Mac would never be so rude to insult baseball (might think it though)," said Onrait. Gammons actually has an impressive resume, earning national recognition in the United States for his work as a baseball reporter for the Boston Globe, Sports Illustrated, the Sporting News and 20 years with American broadcasting giant ESPN. He was named Americas National Sportswriter of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association in 1989, 1990 and 1993. Gammons has also earned an honorary Poynter Fellow from Yale University. Those accolades meant little to the Internet on Sunday, however. "(at)pgammo says the guy who makes his living off the dirtiest sport in the world other then maybe cycling," said professional hockey player Mike Commodore, a native of Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., who currently plays in Russias Kontinental Hockey League. The 11-year veteran of the NHL added the hashtag .beatitpeter to his tweet. Less than 30 minutes later, Commodore tweeted at Gammons a second time, again referring to MLBs struggles to prevent the use of performance-enhancing drugs: "(at)pgammo , help us out with your infinite wisdom scoops, would a good solid 25 year HGH/doping era turn hockey into a "major" sport?" Erik Johnson, a defenceman for the Colorado Avalanche, replied to Gammons with a picture of the sold-out Michigan Stadium, filled with over 100,000 fans to watch the Winter Classic between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs on Jan. 1. The caption "No one cares about hockey" was superimposed over the image. Larry Brooks, a New York Post sportswriter renowned for his arguments with Tortorella when the coach was with the Rangers, also criticized Gammons. "Dont know about that. No one called baseball a minor sport when Carlos Quentin charged mound and broke Zach Greinkes collarbone," said Brooks. Jesse Spector, baseball writer for the Sporting News, defended Gammons remarks to Sean Gentille, his hockey-reporting colleague. "(at)seangentille Basically, if you think Gammons is the only guy out there who sees last night and says "minor sport," youre kidding yourself," said Spector. Follow (at)jchidleyhill on Twitter.

PETERSBURG, Fla.DENVER -- Marlon Byrd hits better when hes sweating and not shivering. He throws more accurately, too, especially since he can feel his fingers. Byrd hit a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning and threw out a runner from right field in the ninth to lead the New York Mets past the Colorado Rockies 3-2 on Thursday in a makeup game for the one that was snowed out on April 17. Give him heat any day, whether its a fastball or the weather. Byrd didnt much care for his last trip to Denver, when the temperature was hovering around 28 degrees and the area was blanketed in snow. A 95-degree day with hardly a cloud in the sky? Now that was much more to his liking. "The cold has never been good for me," Byrd said. "This was nice. Had a real good day to play baseball. To come out with the win was even better." His bat gave the Mets the lead, and his arm protected it. With the Mets trailing 2-1 and a runner on, Byrd drove a fastball from reliever Matt Belisle (4-5) into the left-centre seats. One inning later, the right fielder threw out Michael Cuddyer when he tried to stretch a leadoff single into a double. "Thats that old-school Minnesota Twins baseball," Byrd said of Cuddyer, who began his career with the Twins. "Cuddyer knows how to play the game. He was trying to put pressure on the defence, which I know that he does. I came up and made a decent throw." Byrd practices throwing to the bases all the time. Its really a lost art around the majors, but Byrd makes a point to work on it, just in case of days like Thursday. "He made a good throw," Cuddyer said. "It took a perfect throw to get me and kudos to him, he made it." That was a downer on an otherwise big day for Cuddyer, who had three singles to extend his hitting streak to a franchise-record 24 games. Cuddyer entered the game tied with Dante Bichette before breaking the Rockies mark with a single to centre off Jeremy Hefner on a scorching afternoon. "Anytime you can put your name in any type of record book for a good thing is a good thing," Cuddyer said. "Id trade it for a win, though." The homer by Byrd was about the extent of the offence for New York with star slugger David Wright receiving a rare rest. Hefner drove in the teams other run on a groundout. "Without D-Wright in the lineup, you wonder if were going to score runs," Byrd said. "But we got enough today. Thats the big thing." LaTroy Hawkins (3-1) earned the win with a scoreless seventh and Bobby Parnell closed for his 14th save in 17 chances. The fourth-place Mets finished 7-4 on a four-city road trip that took them to three time zones. They have won eight of 12 overall. The weather was drastically different from the Mets trip to town iin mid-April, when the temperatures were bitterly cold. Adidas Eqt Norge. The series opener was postponed, forcing a frosty doubleheader the next day. The game on April 17 was called off, too, leading to New Yorks quick detour to Denver on Thursday after a two-game series in Chicago with the White Sox. This time, the weather was more suitable for baseball. It was tied for the seventh-hottest home game in Rockies history. Colorado was cruising along until the eighth, when shortstop Jonathan Herrera and second baseman Josh Rutledge collided while trying to field Daniel Murphys single up the middle. Murphy stole second and Byrd followed with his 12th homer. It was yet another strong outing from Hefner. He went six innings, giving up two runs -- one earned -- and five hits. "My performances are finally matching up to the expectations," Hefner said. "This doesnt surprise me." Tyler Chatwood took a no-hit bid into the fifth before it was broken up by Zach Lutz, one of four hits the Mets managed off Chatwood. The righty threw a season-high 103 pitches, and his best may have been his last when he struck out Juan Lagares looking on a 92 mph fastball with the bases loaded in the sixth. Earlier in that inning, Chatwood took a line drive off his right leg. After a few warmup pitches, he remained in the game. New York loaded the bases with none out in the fifth, but Chatwood was able to work out of the sticky situation, giving up only one run on a fielders choice by Hefner. Left fielder Carlos Gonzalez ended the threat with a sliding catch in foul territory. "I really didnt have very good command at all today but I was able to keep our team in the game," Chatwood said. "I was happy with it." The Rockies scored twice in the second, when Cuddyer led off with a single and went to third on Wilin Rosarios double. Todd Helton hit a sacrifice fly, and Rosario later scored on a throwing error by first baseman Josh Satin. New York had two former Rockies batting 1-2 in the order in Eric Young Jr. and Omar Quintanilla. Young was acquired by the Mets last week from Colorado after he was designated for assignment. Young received a round of applause from the crowd in his first plate appearance. Hes long been a fan favourite, especially since his dad played in the Mile High City. "Im excited to get a chance to play back here so soon," Young said. NOTES: Mets manager Terry Collins said SS Ruben Tejada (strained quadriceps) might be ready to play in some Gulf Coast League games this weekend. Tejada could head to either Double-A or Triple-A on a rehab assignment after that. ... The Rockies signed INF Reid Brignac to a minor league deal. ...
