The Rangers dropped game 1 at the Garden 3-0 to the Panthers. There seemed to be a lack of energy in the building. Fans and Mark Messier seem to want Matt Rempe in the lineup for a spark. The Rangers gave up a soft goal, deflected one into their own net and the last was an empty netter. The Rangers had 2 breakaways and came away with nothing. Boomer felt like Florida was smothering the Rangers.

Reacting To The Rangers Loss To The Panthers

Marker 01

Long Form (multi topic, hourly/full show)

Hour 1

Boomer is out so it’s Gio & Jerry today. We have a subway series tonight at Citi Field. The pitching matchups seem to really favor the Yankees with Gerrit Cole and Luis Gil. Cole is only going to throw around 75 pitches. We also talked about the Mets and Pete Alonso and how much other teams may offer him. C-Lo is in for his first update and starts with MLB handing down their 10 game suspension for Edwin Diaz. Starling Marte will miss time with bone inflammation. Didn’t even know that was possible. Sal Licata made up with a thin Grimace on SNY last night. The Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup. JJ Reddick met the media as he was introduced as the new Lakers coach. In the final segment of the hour, Gio is still not sure how he feels about Bill Belichick dating a 24 year old. He goes back and forth on it. Mark Schlereth called Belichick a ‘pig’. 

Hour 2

Evan and Tiki will be at the Cadillac Club at Citi Field for tonight’s subway series. NBA free agency is right around the corner and there’s a name attached to the Knicks that seems to be getting more real by the day. That’s Paul George. He played over 70 games last season. He is 34 years old, and is the type of guy we didn’t want, an overpriced washed up star. But the Knicks seem interested. Gio and Jerry both think it’s a bad idea. We also talked about NBA salaries compared to NBA’s TV audience. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with Sal Licata making up with Grimace on SNY. C-Lo has audio from the Florida Panthers broadcasters going nuts after they won the Stanley Cup. We played an old clip of Howie Rose having a hard time saying ‘Chris McMonigle’. In the final segment of the hour, we played a clip of Gio’s first experience working the radio board for a Mets game and he hit the ‘Let’s Go Mets’ jingle during Howie’s play by play. 

Hour 3

The subway series gets underway tonight and the Mets will be without Edwin Diaz as he will be starting his 10-game suspension for sticky stuff. We expect a split, which is exactly what the Mets are. We talked about some of the more memorable subway series moments. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with audio from Evan and Tiki talking about ‘meritocracy’ being about ‘merit’ and not ‘America’. Howie Rose was on with Evan and Tiki and was asked to pick his favorite Mets call. Stephen A. Smith talked about going to Stanley Cup game 7 even though he knows nothing about hockey. In the final segment of the hour, Gio’s kids are getting to the age where now he has a lot of things to attend that they are involved in, such as dance. 

Hour 4

The Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup, but Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers won the Conn Smythe Trophy. We also talked more about the subway series that gets underway tonight in Queens. We also talked about the Yankees losing to the Red Sox when they were up 3-0. C-Lo returns for an update but first we talked about our early salaries at WFAN. C-Lo has audio of the Florida Panthers winning the Stanley Cup. The Moment of The Day involves Chris Russo having a hard time saying John Tortorella and Howie Rose having a hard time saying ‘Chris McMonigle’. In the final segment of the show, we took some balls about having to go to dance recitals as fathers.
