See things others don’t!

• Stars make a 4 goal lead stand up using the Benn and break your opponent’s will approach; well, the Avs didn’t exactly get pushed around after Jamie took down Toews, but with that savage, but legal hit, an important message was sent up the flagpole and in Big D a lot of people were saluting it.
• 47 shots later, May is still not Hurricane season.

• There had better be hell to pay for this out-of-control beating. It was only Wednesday, but the Bruins were beat 6 to 1 ways from Sunday. That last goal was a total disgrace, and if Boston has any semblance of self-respect, they’ll be putting a whole bunch of Barkov in the doghouse come Game 3. Where’s Terry O’Reilly when you need him?
• Oilers try to, but can’t, make the Canucks look like schmucks in the Van. Talk about quick strike.

ChabDog’s Monday Nitro Basketball-Hockey Playoff Update for the day after the day after “May the Fourth Be With You”:
— Anthony Edwards and his long armed-nerdy friends gang up on Murray and really slaughter him.
— Yvonee de’s Brandon pitches in for good measure, and the Panthers make the mistake of daring to go 1 up on the Bruins. The result is an execution at Sunrise.

Recent history for the Boston Bruins at home in Game 7 has not been kind.  2019’s going out like mice to the tireless Blues, and the mega collapse to Florida in last year’s opening round.

The Solution:  Be Boston strong and imagine you’re on the road, not at home, kicking another Canadian team’s arse (like you did in Vancouver in 2011)…..and carry that Don Cherry attitude to the competition…. GO B’S!!!!!!!

• Murray slaughters the Lakers with a fantastic finish, and it’s love boat time for LeBron. Don’t fault LA for rolling over in a tough situation… no they acquitted themselves well in terms of showing tons of spunk and making the champs work for this win, but in the end they didn’t get the job done on the boards and the lack of a shut down, skilled defensive guard really hurt. Offense gets you the headlines but defense wins championships.
• Too bad for the underdog Pelicans that only the favorites could wear Thunder shirts… oh well… it’s “What a pro wants, what a pro needs” and in this series, OKC was definitely not singing flat.
• It was a total White-out in Miami, as Derrick struck oil at South Beach….. gushing for 38 points, blocking shots and generally shredding the Heat’s lame attempt at zone defense. Good riddance to the Heat.

CDST is back with this week’s “Hello darkness my old friend, it’s playoff time again” show, and just in
time to weigh in on the remaining fun in Round 1. You never know what you’re made of until you stare into
that abyss, so gather that confidence, take aim, and try not to miss. We’ll discuss who’ll be the graduates
to the conference semis, and who’ll just be goin fishin. Plus some MLB, a racing update if we’re lucky, and
we’ll raise your spirits with some classic stuff from Aldo Ray, pushing Canada Dry and raising a Battle Cry.

• Timber!!!! That’s the sound of the elderly Suns falling with a big thud in Round 1.
  The Wolves are hangry and appear to be locked, loaded and on a mission.
  Good luck to anyone standing in their way, and that includes the No. 2 Nuggets.
  These guys have the best D in the league and some very choice options in the halfcourt, including a leaner, meaner KAT and the overpowering and overwhelming talent of Anthony Edwards.
• When you go to war, it helps to have a leader.
  Tonight in Dallas, the Clippers had none to speak of, including a
  gimpy, listless Kawhi, a coach who was awol and left for dead on the sidelines, and a grand total of three has-been ex-all-Stars, who were all more bark and bluster than bang for their bucks.
  Meanwhile, Doncic and Irving showed a generally underrated cast the way forward.
• Tyrese wasn’t satisfied with a tie, which mucks things up for the big toe-less Bucks.

ChabDog Sports wishes you a very, very Happy Passover. The most important holiday in our religion, because this is the reminder and celebration of our freedom.

• White was out of sight all night, as seen through the ruby red frames of Coach Snyder, whose options were quite limited given the Bulls’ superior size, strength, speed and agility. Celtics had better take notice.
• Nick “Temple of Doom” Batum drops more than a few big ones on the Heat.
  Vroom vroom vroom, Joel Sebby Bach is back, and the Sixers think they still have a
  chance. Go figure….
