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.

Expanding on last hour's topic, The Rooster tell our audience how the 6th overall pick puts the Wizards in a position to add a high-upside prospect without the pressure of making a franchise-altering decision at the very top of the draft. While it's not a top-three selection, this spot still offers access to talented players who can become core pieces in a rebuild. Craig Hoffman joins to retort and we end with Dum Dum of The Day.

The Rooster reiterates a message he's been delivering all season: tanking in the NBA simply doesn’t make sense anymore. With the Draft Lottery system in place, losing games on purpose doesn’t guarantee a top pick, and last night’s lottery results provided yet another example of how unpredictable, and ultimately ineffective, that strategy can be. Chris adds his perspective, noting that he doesn’t believe the Wizards were actively tanking this season. He then breaks down what landing the 6th overall pick means for Washington, both in terms of the type of talent they can expect to target and how it fits into the team's broader rebuilding efforts.

The Rooster breaks down and recaps yet another frustrating loss for the Capitals at the hands of the Hurricanes. With Washington now trailing 3-1 in the series, it's been all Carolina so far — and Chris dives into exactly why. Is Logan Thompson to blame? What’s really behind the Caps’ collapse? And is there still hope for a comeback? We tackle all that and more in our opening hour.
