Pushing Buttons: The Return

Pushing Buttons returns finally to the Hard Hits Network. Originally a no holds barred format on Chris Wassel's THW Live, the host of Hard Hits Derek Felix brings the show back after a two-year hiatus. It's time for good old fashioned sports arguments between cagey members of the chatroom brigade. Featuring John "JPG" Giagnorio, Brian Sanborn, Rob "Kraze" Davis, Colin Cannaday, Justin "JNF" Felix and other surprises.

Segment I: JPG's Raptahs try to eliminate Flex's Heat. JPG is still celebrating his Thunder's elimination of the Spurs. Is it the end of Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili? Can OKC threaten Golden State in the Western Conference Final?

Segment II: Playoff hockey returns. The Conference Finals are underway in Pittsburgh. The recap of Lightning and Penguins. A Game One of the Eastern Conference Final. Will Ryan Callahan face suspension for his boarding major and hit from behind on Kris Letang? What about the injury to Ben Bishop? Derek gives his series prediction along with a preview of the WCF between the Sharks and Blues. Is this the year for Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau? Or is it finally the Blues' time?

Segment III: May baseball. The Yankees lose young starter Luis Severino to an arm injury after the White Sox tattoo him for seven earned in less than three innings before leaving. The Yanks lose 7-1 to Chris Sale, who improves to 8-0. The Cubs hit three more homers in a 9-4 win over the Pirates. Can anyone stop the Cubs? What about the White Sox? The Mets visit the Rockies with Matt Harvey on the mound in Coors.

Final Segment: No Holds Barred. Anything goes in our freefall segment. From Derby winner Nyquist to French Open tennis coming soon. Plus overtime.
