Records Fall, Underdogs Rise: Ovi’s Milestone & Florida’s Shocker
The SMQB’s crew kick off this episode with Moose as a special guest and NHL resident expert, discussing Alex Ovechkin breaking Wayne Gretzky’s “unbreakable” NHL goal-scoring record, debating Ovi’s place in hockey history and other sports records that might never fall. They celebrated Florida’s surprising NCAA basketball championship despite having no top-100 recruits, while also giving props to UConn women for their dominant 12th title.
They also dove into the upcoming Masters tournament, noting it feels less exciting this year without Tiger and with LIV Golf’s impact. They broke down the major NCAA legal settlement that will create a $20.5 million salary cap per school with 75% going to football.
They wrap up with their “Punchable Face” segment criticizing women’s championship games being relegated to afternoon TV slots, and “Buzzer Beater” and updates on Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s massive contract.
