WRSP Radio presents the 47th weekly episode of Weekend Sports Huddle with co-hosts Tom Pollin and Dave Holcomb. The Pittsburgh Penguins are one win away from knocking the Washington Capitals out of the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the second straight season. Game 4 controversy revolved around Sid Crosby being knocked out with a concussion on a cross-check by Matt Niskanen and Nick Bonino drawing a high-sticking penalty against T.J. Oshie. Was Niskanen's hit on purpose? Should Bonino earn an Oscar nomination for his acting performance? Tom and Dave will discuss. Our hosts will also dive into Game 5, which will be played tonight, to see what the Capitals can do to stave off another embarrassing elimination. If they do get dropped in the second round for the third straight season after winning their second straight President's Trophy should head coach Barry Trotz be fired? You better believe Dave has an opinion. In the second half of the show the guys will take a look at Chicago baseball now that one month of the 2017 season is in the books. The Cubs aren't even close to being the dominating team they were to this point last season but they're still in first place in the NL Central. On the south side of town, the White Sox are currently in a four-way fight for first place in the AL Central, after deciding 2017 was going to be a rebuilding year. They'll finish with football. It's official, Jay Cutler is retiring to take over John Lynch's spot as analyst on FOX's No. 2 broadcast team. Our hosts also have unfinished draft business with meatball fans and running back Joe Mixon. We want to hear your opinions! call into the show at 516-387-1417 or tweet @wkdsportshuddle.
