Elvis is Dead and So Are the Leafs
Description
As the NHL and NBA playoffs speed toward a dramatic finish, there's plenty to talk about as the Final Four for each sport takes shape. Long Island's old Nassau Coliseum is getting one heck of a sendoff, and we begin by talking about why the Islanders' defensive style of hockey is so effective.
Next, we visit the NFL to discuss the Julio Jones trade. What did Atlanta get for him? How might he fit in with his new Titan teammates? After that, it's a jam-packed trip through basketball and hockey: the Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns overcame adversity to advance to the second round, with major performances from Kawhi Leonard, Chris Paul, DeAndre Ayton and Devin Booker.
Meanwhile, Luka Doncic was heroic in defeat and Nikola Jokic took home a well-earned MVP award. Both men honed their craft as teenage professionals in Europe, an upbringing that sets them apart from many American stars, for the better.
On NHL ice, we conduct a post-mortem of the Toronto Maple Leafs after yet another playoff collapse. Their rivals, the Montreal Canadiens, have made the Stanley Cup Semifinals, and we discuss why a team underestimated by many has gone so far. Finally, we wrap up with a chat about Mark Scheifele's shocking charge and the continued rise of the Vegas Golden Knights.
