(3:45) After a brief weather report in my neck of the woods, my theme to start off the podcast is the possibility of not one, not two, but SIX Game 7’s in the NBA & NHL postseason? I’ll start off with the NBA and discuss Denver’s unlikely comeback to close out the T’wolves in Game 6. Will the Pacers & now Thunder (who I’m disappointed in) force a Game 7 as well? The Celtics are the only team not to go six games as they’ve punched their ticket to another Conference Final beating the Cavaliers in five.
(23:22) Are the Rangers in trouble of blowing a 3-0 series lead? Can the Bruins push the Panthers to a deciding game, similar to what Florida did to them last year? Dallas struggles to close out Colorado in their building. Will the Avalanche push the top seeded Stars to the brink? As for the Oilers-Canucks, that series is tied at 2. Can Edmonton win two of the final three? Or will Vancouver take care of the Oilers in six? Seven?
(35:18) The second leg of golf’s Grand Slam is in Louisville, KY as the PGA Championship commences today. Who’ll be at the top of the leaderboard and win when it’s all said and done?
(40:33) Can we please do away with the NFL schedule release? I’ll share my displeasure of the past couple of days. Plus, what did the Pittsburgh Steelers do to The Shield to deserve a gauntlet over the final eight games where SIX of those are in the division. WHAT!!?? Speaking of schedules, I’ll talk about the big games that’ll open up the college football season starting on Labor Day weekend.
(52:16) Is anyone paying attention to what’s going on in MLB? It’s been rather quiet over the past few days. I’ll get into a pitcher (Astros Ronel Blanco) who was suspended earlier in the week for using sticky stuff. Also, the Mets struggles as they haven’t won a series in almost a month. I’ll peek at what are the top matchups over the coming weekend.
(57:05) The Preakness is Saturday. Derby winner Mystik Dan will race against a field of eight horses. (Wait! EIGHT?!) And heavy favorite Muth has been scratched due to a spiked fever. Is this set up for Mystik Dan to win and have a shot at the Triple Crown? Or to fail based on the sparse field and a top horse out of the lineup?
