The Dallas Stars will defeat the Edmonton Oilers in seven games

I picked the Oilers and then Whit said, no, you can't, you're a mush. Stay away from my team. So then I switched my pick to Dallas in seven. ... I'll be heartbroken for either of these teams because Pete DeBoer... has never won a Stanley Cup. ... he's nine and oh in Game sevens in playoff history.

The series result is pending for the 2025 NHL playoffs.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will win the NBA title

Today is Wednesday, May 21st and the Oklahoma City Thunder are going to win the NBA title. ... Oklahoma City's defense is very fucking good. They're elite. Yes. They pack the paint so well. They make you take threes. ... I think they're the best team.

The Thunder did not win the NBA title in 2024 (Mavs beat them) or 2025.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the number one foul-baiter in the NBA

It pisses me off watching [SGA] play. ... I have to watch the foul baiting like three times in a row where I have to see the same non foul three times. ... [SGA] is the number one fator and he's so good. ... he has taken the mantle from James Harden.

This is a subjective opinion on playing style and foul-drawing frequency.

The ESPN announcing booth of Richard Jefferson and Doris Burke lacks aura and does not suit big playoff games

The booth, the Richard Jefferson, Doris Burke that there's not a lot of Aura. I'm sorry. ... I'm smashing the Aura button on everything now but I'm smashing it there. It don't, we like RJ, I like Doris Burke as a team. It just doesn't feel big game ish. It just, I don't know. It's like, but let Mike Breen just do it himself. It just didn't feel something was off.

The 'feel' or 'aura' of an announcing booth is a subjective viewer experience.

The NHL should move to a longer 3-on-3 overtime to avoid shootouts

I actually think that they should move to a longer three on three. Even if you added two extra minutes... I think would, would make a lot more games end in in in overtime as opposed to going to a shootout.

Shootouts remain a divisive topic in hockey, and many fans/players share this sentiment.

If Team USA and Canada meet in the final, it will go to overtime

I'll say that the way that the Olympics have gone so far, as far as the hockey, I think it's going to overtime. I think it's gonna be Canada, us.

The gold medal game outcome is unknown.

Hockey is on the rise and the Four Nations tournament will be a high-stakes precursor to the Olympics

Hockey's on the rise man. On the rise. Hockey's on a heater as we always say on the podcast, the last two years. And on top of that, boys we're heading into an Olympic year. With all that Four Nations... precursor to the Olympics coming up. It ain't the Olympics. We all know that. But don't act like they weren't playing for something. They were playing for pride.

This is an inherently subjective opinion about the state of the sport and the prestige of a specific tournament.
