Ep 60: Bonne Jeanne Baptiste

Euro cup group wrap up, UFC preview, NBA Playoff and Draft Analysis along with NHL Stanley Playoff series talk and more on this pod!

Timestamps Approximate.

We start with Football Fancave (03:40) where Owen recaps the end of the group play stage at the Euro Cup, as Russia collapses, the big 3 in the group of death squeak by, and Spain pulls it together. Max makes picks for the first round of the draw.

In Combat Corner (09:55) Max gives a breakdown and prediction for Alexander Volkov vs Cyril Gane this weekend's UFC Main Event.

BBall Storylines (19:56) We recap game 2 of the Suns Clippers games; griping about the slow last 2 minutes, praising Payne, Booker and Ayton and speculating whether the Clippers can pull through down 2-0 again. We also talk game 1 of the Bucks Hawks series; Trae's spectacular play, Middleton and Holliday's inconstancies and our picks for the series. Owen also talks the NBA Draft Lottery, what it means for the Pistons to have a shot at Cunningham, the Rockets to have a chance to rebuild after Harden, and the Toronto Raptors to have the number 4 pick.

Baseball Bit (46:16) Owen talks the Menoah suspension, and the league's misguiding attempt to fix pitching through sticky finger checks, leading to some disrobing.

Talkin’ Hockey (51:09) The boys talk games 5 and 6 of the Lightning Islanders series, game 5 of the Habs Vegas series, and Max gives a quick live timetravel update after the Habs clinch their Stanley Cup Finals playoff berth.
