Rest vs. rust. It's one of the most classic debates in playoff sports — and the Carolina Hurricanes are right in the middle of it after sweeping Ottawa while Pittsburgh continues to grind through their series against Philadelphia. What does history actually say about teams that spend extended time between rounds? Ovies and Giglio dig into the numbers and the narrative before shifting to college basketball, where the transfer portal has closed and roster clarity is finally starting to emerge across the Triangle. Duke has quietly reloaded with a different wrinkle to how Scheyer is approaching roster construction this offseason. UNC and NC State are both still staring at significant holes in their lineups — but for very different reasons. Then a conversation about the NCAA's push toward a 5-year eligibility rule — is this a genuine reform or simply a backdoor attempt to implement age limits and streamline a system that college administrators have been trying to control for years? Throw in some NBA talk, OG Sports Phone calls and a playlist review and you've got yourself a full show.
