Transcript

Speaker 1

In the sports page with The Orlando Sentinel at FM ninety six to nine the Games, Mike the Bulldog Beyond You jr. R.

Speaker 2

All Right, the Bulldog Sports Page has brought you by our rock the band cash giveaways thirteen more chances today and each weekday morning to win a Grand Bulldog. Your boys are back in action, dude, don't ever doubt my Florida Panthers. All right, they fell behind the Maple Leaves O two up in Toronto. I said, don't worry, we're coming back to sunrise, We're coming home.

Speaker 3

And what happened? Uh, it was punctuated last night to nil. We win over Toronto. The series is now tied to all Uh. The Panthers are incredible.

Speaker 4

All right. You know what they do?

Speaker 3

You know what their formula for successes, Lynch, you're a hockey guy. They get ahead, Yeah, they get ahead, and then they let Bob SERGEI Bobrovski, oh gob every puck that comes into the to the Creasecause it's still irky when he says to nil, it does in any other sport other than soccer.

Speaker 2

Did to pet peeve bulldog, and then we have to feel the complaint.

Speaker 3

Texts that come in Bobrovski that they ought to put his glove hand in the Hockey Hall of Fame with its own wing.

Speaker 4

All right, that's how good this guy is.

Speaker 3

Okay, So it's tied to all now, and hopefully we'll close these guys out pretty quickly. In the NBA, Pacers pound the Calves yesterday, they were up.

Speaker 4

They were up forty one at halftime. I think forty one at halftime last night.

Speaker 3

That's the biggest halftime lead in NBA playoff history. The Pacers take a three to one lead over the Calves. Looks like they're gonna win that series. Donovan Mitchell, the Calves superstar. He went out in the second half of the sprained ankle, never returned, So it looks like the Pacers may win that series. Okay, see the Thunder the best team in the league record wise during the regular season. They tie their series with the Denver Nuggets yesterday ninety two to eighty seven.

Speaker 4

Oklahoma City is just scary.

Speaker 3

They had the best record in the league, their top five in offensive defense. They're also, by the way, the youngest team in the league. This is the best team in the league and they're still getting better. So they're scary. That series is tied to all are them to win? Just okay? See yeah, yeah, I think they're probably a favorite right now. Yeah, unless the Celtics can come back

and beat the Knicks. And the Celtics did beat the Knicks at the Godden on Saturday night, so's they're within two to one, so the Knicks still have the advantage there. But the Celtics did blow out the Knicks on Saturday night. The other game over the weekend was the Timberwolves take a two to one lead on the Warriors in that series. Jimmy Butler had a big game for the for the Warriors, but it didn't matter because Steph Curry is still injured. He's not gonna play in the rest of this series.

As I predicted over the weekend.

Speaker 2

Both of those series Boston and New York and Minnesota and Golden State game forced tonight.

Speaker 4

That's right. And what about what did that? Guys? What did I tell you about Kyle Law? He gets to double this morning?

Speaker 3

What did I tell you about Kyle Law? This guy, Yeah, he cannot be stopped. His third win of the year. He wins again at Kansas. This guy dominates Kansas like the Tornado from the Wizard of Oz. Okay, that's how awesome he is in Kansas. So yeah, Kyle Larson best driver on the circuit, not even close. What else we have in sports? Orlando City? Here we go again, shocking, shocking. They had another draw over the weekend. We want to

score that game three three. Poor Martin Oheita. He gets a hat trick for Orlando City, scores three goals and they still can't win. But they do get the draw three to three against the New England Revolution. The Pride also recorded a draw over the weekend against the North Carolina Courage that was one to one. So the Pride and Orlando City both get results, although not victories like they had a hole.

Speaker 2

Did you see what did? The LA Galaxy are winless in the first twelve games. Is Orlando City no? No zero? I was kidding, it's crazy.

Speaker 3

Thinking of almost winless. The Colorado Rockies. They get beat twenty one to nothing in baseball by the Padres on Saturday night. They fired their manager yesterday. They're seven and thirty three, seven and thirty three in Major League Baseball. I don't know how their manager, Bud Black even had a job to begin with, They've had two consecutive one hundred lost seasons on their way to a third consecutive's how's this guy still working to begin with?

Speaker 2

So losing by three touchdowns was the final straw?

Speaker 4

I guess, I guess.

Speaker 3

So.

Speaker 2

I love that name though. That's a cool name.

Speaker 4

What is it? Bub Black Bud? Bud, Hey Bud, Hey Bud.

Speaker 1

I'm looking for my Solar Bears, this entire this entire sports support. I'm looking for Solar Bears standing right now. And yeah, how'd they do over the week?

Speaker 3

I don't know.

Speaker 1
