Gabe and Connor discuss the potential consequences of Rajon Rondo’s injury, jump around the sports landscape for some quick stats, and perform an original song about the playoffs in D.C.
Lyrics: You trudged through months of late-night games against the Nuggets and the Jazz
You yawned at the sight of another goal against the lowly Avalanche
You smiled after every win and now you think it’s really happening
The playoffs are here again, and DC might be a champion
Throw on your Ovechkin jersey
It’s playoff time in DC
Remember when the Caps were Number One, and lost in the first round?
Well yes I do, but we’re better now, this time we’ll get the crown.
Remember when the Wiz had the edge, and John Wall broke his hand?
That was a fluke, we’d have beaten them, the Hawks won’t win again.
I’m betting everything I own on a parade in DC
At least until the Capitals lose two of their first three
Panic goes to overtime after every single loss
You resort to cheering losses by the Penguins and the Sharks
All six teams from the Great White North lost in Game 1
But Maple Leaf wins in two and three are spoiling the fun
The Oilers lead 3 to 2, Canada is coming through
The Senators up 3 to 1, Boston’s looking pretty done
Canada’s putting the U.S. on the shelf
If it’s any consolation the Blue Jays are 3 and 12
THAT’S OUR SPORT
Hey it’s the playoffs
Hey it’s the playoffs
To win either title, there’s a six percent chance
To pull off both, it’s less than one percent
But when neither happens, there’s unbearable misery
That’s just playoff time in DC
