On today's show, The Rooster breaks down the Capitals’ frustrating Game 4 loss to the Hurricanes, as Washington falls behind 3-1 in the series. Chris explores what’s gone wrong, whether goalie Logan Thompson deserves blame, and if there's still a sliver of hope for a comeback.

Shifting to basketball, The Rooster revisits a theme he’s stressed all season: tanking in the NBA no longer works. With the unpredictability of the Draft Lottery, intentionally losing offers no guarantees — and the latest results prove it again. Chris argues the Wizards weren’t tanking and analyzes what the 6th overall pick means for their rebuild.

In the next hour, the conversation continues with how that pick allows the Wizards to land a high-upside prospect without the pressure of a top-three selection. Craig Hoffman joins to debate the implications, and we wrap with Dum Dum of The Day.
