7:45 am
likely to yield a successful outcome. secondly, things one must avoid are cigarette smoking -- certainly associated with smaller babies. and all recreational drug use. alcohol should not be consumed in the pregnancy. and being healthy -- as far as balanced meals on a regular basis. and moderate exercise. that is extremely important. >> what about on the research front? what are the things you find to be the most exciting. some of the greatest advancements that have been made to help babies and reduce the amount of premature birth. >> two things i would like to mention -- from a pharmacological point of view -- the use of progesterone -- both in the form of an injection and the suppository, have been linked to successes. defined as reduction in subsequent premature birth.

7:48 am
-- he is new. >> he was playing for the bridgeport sound tigers a couple weeks ago. keep -- they called him to play the last two regular- season games when they were resting players because sent him back to bridgeport and called him back to play in the playoffs. he has been a good player. electrifying. played a great goal game. >> game four was in brooklyn. did not look so hot that night. >> no. i was surprised. after winning games three in overtime, you would think they would have come out a little more hungry and game four. that was not the case. they were kind of lifeless in game four until it was too late. i thought they played a decent game in game five. i would be very surprised if they did not come out on fire. >> and home ice advantage. the first playoff series as well at the barclays center for the islanders. talk about the difference. at the coliseum -- the energy with the fans -- it was just rocking there.
7:49 am
>> i would defy anyone who could find a louder building as opposed to the pot -- the coliseum during the playoffs. you look at the playoff series against the capitals. the roof was lifted off the building. a lot of people were concerned that when islanders moved to brooklyn, you would not have the same feeling. for most of the season, there were times when it did not feel the same. i went to game four. it was really loud. it will be a little biased and say -- it was not quite coliseum loud. but it was loud enough where it finally felt like him. >> hopefully they have the intensity tonight and they wrap things up. >> let's talk about the rangers. what a heartbreaking loss. >> i was surprised. i thought the rangers would win the series. >> they have had the penguins. i'm really surprised how poorly they played in the series with the exception of game two. some big-time players does did
7:50 am
blame on henrik lundqvist. i just think that is so unfair. i don't think the rangers are in this runs the last few years without him. he just takes so much abuse from people. i just don't get it. he is one of the great goaltenders in the world. and i think he could sue his teammates for a lack of support. for me, to blame him on it is just the wrong thing. they have young players that are supposed to help bridge the gap. and they just were not able to do it. very disappointing. >> he said after the game that they just played a smarter team with better goaltending. >> and they played a red-hot team. let's face it. the capitals finished with the backrest -- the best record in the nhl. but the penguins have had the best record. and they did it without the number one goalie. so kudos to the penguins for dancing. >> and the season ends for the rangers. let's talk about the nfl draft.
7:51 am
the first two pics -- >> what about jarrod cost. >> i think he will go number one to the rams. the rams and the eagles have the first two pics. they will both take quarterbacks. the eagles -- when they made the trade the other day, the general manager was open to saying they would take a quarterback. so i think jared will go number one. >> and he started as quarterback his freshman year. >> he is really, really good. a lot of teams went into went to try to move on come up -- move him up to the jets. fitzpatrick -- which i think question. >> and carson -- he is also a straight a student. >> an intelligent guy. quarterbacks go to schools that are not thought of as big football powerhouses.
7:52 am
>> very intelligent guy. by the nfl. >> and the giants have the tenth pick in the first round. with? back elliott. i on the giants have always been big on big-name running backs since barber retired. they have been going a lot to the running back committee over i think if he is there at number 10 -- i think he would be a perfect fit for the giants. >> he has the ability to excel at every aspect of the game. >> when you have an electrifying player -- like eli manning -- with the quarterback position -- with the giants have been able to do on offense -- and he would be a perfect fit. >> and the jets have the 20 20th take. >> they could go with billing so she was a good physical strong player. they sold avoid with paris in with a few signings during the off-season. and number 20, you take the best player on the board. if he is there, he might be a possibility.
7:53 am
i still think fitzpatrick will be back. i think they will go defense on the first-round. >> so much to talk about this morning. >> and new york islanders walk the arena. >> rock the barclays center. thank you so much. we appreciate it. this is cbs2 news sunday
