The Vegas Golden Knights, who entered their first year expansion season, were even long odds in the their hometown at 500-1 to go all the way when they were chasing the puck in September during preseason. Now those same oddsmakers have the Knights favored to go all the way to win the NHL Stanley Cup, which would be a first in any sport for a first year expansion team.

NHL Stanley Cup Eastern Conference Playoff podcast with Joe Lami: Lightning strikes twice as Tampa Bay ties series with Caps at two apiece

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

(Photo: Amber Searls, USA TODAY Sports) Ouch! Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin (8) feels the pain after the Tampa Bay Lightning put the stop to his attempts to score in the second period

On the NHL Stanley Cup Eastern Conference playoff podcast with Joe Lami:

Up 2-0 after the first two games in Tampa Bay, the Washington Capitals had a lot of confidence going back to Washington that this one was in the bag. A swagger and maybe some overconfidence during the morning skates before Games 3 and 4 and no idea what would be ahead after the conclusion of the two games on the Capitals’ ice.

In the first period of Game 4, the Lightning scored twice in the first period wasting no time as the Bolts’ Brayden Point and Steven Stamkos put the Lightning in the drivers seat. The Capitals would score only a goal in that first period and another in the second for all their offense on Thursday night.

In the third period, the Lightning’s Alex Killorn scored his fifth goal of the postseason and Anthony Cirelli found the back end of the net with his second goal of the postseason to put this one to bed for the 4-2 win.

Joe tells you about Tampa Bay’s success in coming back in this series with speed, shutting down Alex Ovechkin, and taking Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby out of his game. Joe also takes a look at going back to Tampa Bay and what Washington needs to do to get back into this series in Game 5.

San Francisco Giants podcast with Michael Duca: Giants are a .500 club and doing better than most

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

@SFGiants photo: Inside the San Francisco Giants dugout are the bat rack and the helmets of Brandon Crawford, Brandon Belt, Evan Longoria, and Andrew McCutchen on Thursday night.

On the SF Giants podcast with Michael Duca:

I like what the San Francisco Giants are doing better than what the Los Angeles Dodgers are doing. The Dodgers snapped their six-game losing steak Thursday night and caught up with the Miami Marlins. The Dodgers are now 17-26 and the Marlins drop to 16-27 in their loss to LA.

There are six teams on pace to lose 100 games and the Dodgers and Marlins are two of them, the Padres are another one. The White Sox are currently on a pace to lose 121. The White Sox have won only 11 games thus far this season. The White Sox won a game against the Texas Rangers on Thursday 4-2, snapping a two-game lose streak.

So with all things being equal coming into Thursday’s game at 22-22 isn’t all bad. Everybody has been saying they’re playing .500 ball and if they get healthy, they can do some damage and they certainly can. Pitcher Madison Bumgarner came out of his bullpen rehab healthy and was rearing to go and throw another one and then head out on his rehab assignment.

On the Headlines Sports podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 Tony will be looking back a bit on that first game with the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors when the Rockets’ James Harden and the Warriors’ Draymond Green got into a scrap in the first few minutes.

#2 The Seattle Mariners’ Robinson Can came clean admitting he took a substance Furosemide, a diuretic he told reporters that he was given the substance by a doctor in the Dominican Republic, but didn’t realize it was a banned substance. Cano was suspended by MLB for 80 games and is one of the highest-paid players in the MLB.

#3 Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden has been getting some criticism about the way he’s handled personnel so far. He’s let go of Michael Crabtree, punter Marquete King and now Kahlil Mack’s contract, whose contract is coming up could be leaving. The Raiders are looking for some cap room.

#4 In spite of the A’s having the usual arm problems their starters have been coming through with Sean Manaea helping Oakland get a one run 6-5 win and Tuesday night with pitcher Daniel Mengden improving his record to 3-4, going six innings, eight hits, two runs, and three strikeouts and two wins in the series against Boston.

#5 The Giants, after losing five straight all on the road, have now won three straight and are preparing for the Colorado Rockies starting on Thursday night. The Rockies, who are in second place in the NL West, will be a test for San Francisco at AT&T Park after success against a last-place Reds team.

On the Oakland A’s podcast with Jerry Feitelberg:

#1 The A’s have won two games in this series with the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. The Sox have to be sick of the A’s about now after getting no hit when they were out in Oakland and then the A’s come in and take the first two games of the series.

#2 The A’s got some great pitching out of starter Sean Manaea on Monday night and then on Tuesday night from starter Daniel Mengden.

#3 The A’s open a four-game series in Toronto starting tonight at Roger’s Centre. The A’s will be going with Jake Sanchez (3-2), who’ll open the series tonight.

#4 In the Sox series, Mark Canha, who was playing center on Tuesday, chased down a foul ball near the side wall in foul territory and made the catch. A fan took a swipe at the ball and hit the brim of Canha’s hat. Canha said the fan should have been thrown out of the game, but wasn’t.

#5 A’s outfielder Stephen Piscotty came back to play on Tuesday after taking a week off for bereavement following the death of his mother. Piscotty, with a heavy hat, hit a home run over that historical fence the Green Monster for his third home run of the year.

#2 The Lightning have scored a power play goal in eight straight games and they were one-timers from the faceoff circle for both goals.

That’s Amaury’s Podcast, News and Commentary with Jeremiah Salmonson: Warriors really made Game 1 win look easy; Harden carried Rockets on shoulders, but couldn’t win

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

On That’s Amaury’s podcast with Jeremiah Salmonson:

The Golden State Warriors started this third round of the playoffs with a road victory over the Houston Rockets 119-106 in Game 1 on Monday night. It looked like five guys (from Golden State) versus the Houston Rockets’ James Harden, who handled much of the scoring by himself.

Those five guys were referring to is the Warriors’ Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, Stephen Curry, and Klay Thompson, who all combined for 99 points. Durant had his second-highest point total with 37 for this post season. The Rockets’ James Harden finished also with his second-highest postseason total with 41 points.

Houston head coach Mike D’Antoni called the Rockets performance a game of “mental lapses.” Game 2 is Wednesday night in Houston. The Rockets have the home floor after watching them in Game 1. Do the Rockets need to pick up the pace with a faster tempo?
