00:00All right, Dave Sports, what do we got, man?
00:02Okay, well, we got to start with hockey.
00:04Yep, unfortunately, the Devils' great season.
00:08And I do want to emphasize great.
00:10It's a young team.
00:11They played well.
00:11They got to the semifinals, but their season is officially over
00:15as the Devils lost to the Hurricanes in overtime last night, 3-2.
00:21And that was it.
00:22Jesper Fast scored the game winner in OT for Carolina.
00:27It's like you were never really sure what team was going to show up.
00:30Yeah.
00:30You're going to score five goals.
00:31You're going to score eight goals.
00:32You're going to score nothing.
00:33What's going to happen here?
00:34Last night they played well, but once the game went into overtime,
00:38you just knew that the Canes on their own home ice were going to win that game.
00:44Everyone just had a really bad feeling about it,
00:46and that's exactly what happened.
00:48Still, nevertheless, you got to look at it in a positive.
00:51Fun year for the Devils.
00:53Young team right here, emerging superstars like Jack Hughes.
01:00That trade for Timo Meier I thought was going to be the thing that put him
01:03over the edge and sent him deep into the playoffs, but he didn't deliver.
01:07Well, they got deep into the playoffs, one would argue.
01:09I mean, they made it to the semifinals, and like we said,
01:12they're a young team.
01:13This is hopefully year one of a great building period where you've now –
01:19I'm trying to be positive here, bro.
01:20Go ahead and be positive.
01:23No, but it's a young team, and no one was predicting the Devils to go out
01:27and play this well.
01:29So it's a young team.
01:30They had a great season, and now going forward, yes, of course,
01:33we want more success and maybe a championship,
01:36but this is called laying the foundation in sports.
01:38You've got to have a year like this.
01:40I've been around the hockey thing for a while.
01:41You have?
01:42Oh, that's okay.
01:42Okay.
01:43Basketball.
01:44The 76ers lost to the Celtics last night in Game 6 of their semifinal series,
01:4895-86.
01:50That series is now tied up in three games apiece.
01:53Game 7 is Sunday at Boston.
01:54Now the Knicks take on the Heat for Game 6 of their Easter semifinal series
01:58in Miami.
01:59The Heat lead three games to two, but I'm optimistic about the Knicks
02:03winning this game tonight.
02:04Force a Game 7 in Madison Square Garden.
02:08Anyone else optimistic with me?
02:10They're going to lose.
02:11They're going to get their ass kicked.
02:12That's what I was expecting.
02:13They're going to get manhandled out of Miami.
02:14See?
02:15That's what that's.
02:16Ooh.
02:17That's it.
02:18They got nothing.
02:18That's it.
02:19Well, it could happen.
02:21It might happen.
02:22Gotts, you think the Knicks, you like their chances tonight?
02:25Yeah, I got money on them.
02:27On his own.
02:28Yeah.
02:29He just raided his mom's purse.
02:31Happy Mother's Day.
02:33You're betting on basketball?
02:35No.
02:36Fun and hard to believe.
02:37I just wanted to say that so we can keep going out here.
02:40Baseball.
02:41Well, the Yankees lost to the Rays 8-2.
02:44Rays are 30-9 for the season in first place in the AL East by a long shot right now.
02:51The Mets were shut out by the Reds 5-0.
02:55The Phillies were off.
02:57They play the Rockies tonight in Colorado.
03:00Finally, Tom Brady will be honored at the Patriots' home opener right off the bat.
03:05As soon as he retired from the Tampa Bay Bucs, he's getting brought back by Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who says they're going to honor Tom Brady in the game against the Eagles on September 10th.
03:20So, Brady back in New England right now.
03:23And he's still taking the year off before he goes to the 5th.
03:27I think he's going to get cheered now.
03:29Now that he's retired.
03:31You know, if he was still playing, who knows?
03:33Maybe a couple of those Boston Meatheads would be booing him.
03:37But at the same time, the guy gave that fan base six championships.
03:42That's pretty well.
03:43If they boo him, you know, then who do you like in that city?
03:49Anyway, that is your quick look at sports.
