00:00All right, Dave, sports, what do we got?
00:02Okay, let's start with the NHL playoffs where the Devils were crushed last night
00:07in game four of their semifinal series with the Hurricanes 6-1.
00:13Devils actually got out to a 1-0 lead before Carolina scored five goals in the second period.
00:20And that was that.
00:22The Devils now trail the Canes three games to one in the series.
00:25Game five is on Thursday.
00:27They're not done yet.
00:28That's the worst second period of playoffs hockey I've ever seen, ever.
00:33It was not good.
00:34That was brutal.
00:35Young team, definitely on the ropes.
00:38Let's see how they respond.
00:40Meanwhile, the Stars beat the Kraken 6-3, and that series is now all tied up at two games apiece.
00:45NBA postseason, the 76ers took down the Celtics in game five of that series, 115-103,
00:52and Philly now goes up three games to two.
00:54Sixers center Joel Embiid, recently named MVP of the NBA, had 33 points, seven rebounds, and four blocks in the game.
01:04Sixers are now a game away from going to the Eastern Conference Finals with game six Thursday in Philadelphia.
01:11You know Philly is going to be going nuts.
01:15Mayhem.
01:16Chance to go to the Eastern Conference Finals.
01:18What if the Sixers go to the NBA Finals and lose?
01:24And lose, yeah.
01:25Because I know a few times in sports where the same city has won multiple championships,
01:32but this would be a city losing in the World Series, the Super Bowl, and the NBA Finals.
01:40Let's not forget the Phillies.
01:42They lost to the Astros.
01:44Eagles lost to Mahomes and the Chiefs.
01:45You think they would pull down the poles that are greased and burn them?
01:51I think Philly's going to blow if they reach the finals and lose.
01:56How'd that other crack get in that bell down?
01:58Oh, you can't do that to a city where three times they have a chance at a championship in like a six-month period and they lose every time.
02:06They would do that even if they won anyway, you know?
02:08They just love destroying everything out there.
02:11Well, it's dicey, but congratulations.
02:14They're a game away from before they get to that.
02:16They've got to get to the Eastern Conference Finals.
02:18They're a game away.
02:19Now, tonight, do or die for the New York Knicks.
02:24They take on the Miami Heat this evening in the Garden, and the Knicks, just like the Devils,
02:30trail the Heat three games to one in the series.
02:33In fact, I see some similarities as both teams, I think, have had great seasons,
02:37great playoff success, have a lot of foundation, great young players.
02:44Maybe this isn't the year for the Devils nor the Knicks.
02:47Oh, stop that.
02:47Come on.
02:48Well, here, how about this?
02:50It's in Madison Square Garden.
02:51Go out there and beat the Heat tonight, you know?
02:54Get all excited.
02:55Have the place going crazy for you.
02:58I agree.
02:59Baseball, the Yankees brought out the bats last night.
03:02Yanks dominated the A's 10-5.
03:05Gleyber Torres slugged his sixth home run of the year.
03:08The Yankees improved to 20-17.
03:10The Mets lost to the Reds 7-6.
03:12It's actually the Mets' 12th loss in 15 games.
03:17They now dropped to 17-19.
03:19Boy, that sounds like trouble, huh?
03:20Yeah.
03:21Phillies beat the Blue Jays 8-4 as the Phillies improved to 17-19 for the season.
03:26And then finally, football, the roughly $10 million raised for DeMar Hamlin in the wake
03:32of his mid-game collapse.
03:34It will be donated to the NFL Stars Charity.
03:38Wants to spread it around a little bit.
03:40Wants to get into cardiac arrest research.
03:43And also wants to share it with some inner-city kid funding as well.
03:47So, DeMar Hamlin giving that $10 million all to charity, that was raised by the fans when
03:57he had a toy drive on GoFundMe that was put up before he had the cardiac arrest.
04:04That's right.
04:05And then when people found out about the toy drive, they gave him $10 million, basically.
04:10And he's saying, look, we only need this amount for the toy drive, but we're going to take
04:13the other money and we're going to put it to all the charity.
