Manage episode 485912960 series 3612085
What does it take for a minor league hockey team to build a dynasty and what can the NHL, NBA, and MLB learn from that kind of resilience? In this Fanatic Friday episode, Nick and Wil get into one of the most electric weeks in sports, discussing the Florida Everblades’ chase for a historic fourth straight title, the playoff firestorm between the Oilers and Stars, and the utterly dominant streak of the Florida Panthers. But it’s not just hockey that’s heating up; baseball’s powerhouses are already separating themselves, with the Yankees looking like contenders and the Rockies falling into historic irrelevance. And in the NBA? The Indiana Pacers are redefining grit, the Timberwolves are showing unexpected depth, and the Knicks-Pacers series might be the most thrilling showdown this postseason.
