It's Wednesday! The guys open up with the Islanders sweeping the Pittsburgh Penguins right out of the first round of the NHL Playoffs.
"The young guys have shown up," Esiason said. "Especially on the defensive side of the puck. The players who are supposed to score are scoring. Then, they have the grinders. The bottom-six guys are doing exactly what they're supposed to do and the young guys are showing up. Everybody's got each other's back. They've got a lot of great chemistry going on around this team -- and of course, they have maybe one of the best coaches in the league in today's game in Barry Trotz."
The Islanders will face the winner of the Washington Capitals-Carolina Hurricanes series.
"The Islanders are now that team of destiny with it right in front of them," Giannotti said. "This could be the storybook run that would beat all storybook runs in the NHL postseason in my opinion."
James Paxton earns his pinstripes for the Yankees, and the Phillies show no brotherly love to Steven Matz and the Mets. Happy Birthday Boomer!
