This might actually be the Washington Capitals' year to win the Stanley Cup

Today is Friday, May 25th, and might actually be the Caps year. Like, it's still shocking that they're in the Stanley Cup Finals. And I'm not saying this in a mean way because I, too, root for and have rooted for loser franchises, but, like, the Caps were a loser franchise. So to get over that mountain, it takes a lot.

The Capitals went on to defeat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-1 to win their first Stanley Cup in 2018.

Tom Wilson is a star and a complete badass

Tom Wilson, that dude's a star. I fucking love Tom Wilson. He's a badass. We make fun of him a lot because he tries to cut people's head off with his skates. And he like intentionally hits people in the head... but he's no longer on fraud watch.

Tom Wilson became a key part of the Capitals' championship core and signed a massive extension, validating his status as a top-line player.

The Warriors' lack of bench depth makes Andre Iguodala being out a series-ruining injury

Iguodala being out ruins everything the Warriors do because they don't have a bench. That's the problem with super teams. Can't get a bench.

The Warriors eventually won the series and the title, but the loss of Iguodala was widely cited as the reason the Rockets pushed them to seven games.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
