This is a podcast from Minute Media.

Hey, Giant Fans. Welcome to the Giant Insider podcast. My name is Jerry Foley. I'm the senior editor of the Giant Insider newspaper. And with me, as always, the beat writer, the heart of Giants Nation. Nobody beats the biz. Chris Bisignano.

Chris, I think we'll start off with a little hockey. I know, you know, maybe not everyone's a hockey fan, but I think I should mention, Chris, that the Rangers that are advancing to the second round, my Rangers, are three and out. Time out, time out. The Rangers, what in that last series? Barely. Oh, I thought it was a conspiracy theory against them with the rest. Oh, that's right. You can't pay the league and Sydney Crosby and who else? Anybody else?

You can't pay attention. Maybe Mario Lemieux. That's the league insisted on the penguins winning.

And somehow, in other than Rangers beat the penguins

in spite of the referees

how ironic was it too

that they got a power play

in a game seven overtime

from a fan base that was crying

for seven days

seven games about the refs

and the NHL and Crosby and oh my god and they somehow got a power play

interesting in game seven of an overtime resilience i would say a lot of resilience so first off

Chris is referring to a text probably that i sent last week where you're not're not just, you do, don't know. But I sent a text saying, you know, it's clear that. First period of the first game or something about the refs? It's clear that the NHL wants Sidney Crosby to win. Yeah, it was clear. Right. So it was 2-0. Rangers rep 2-0. Crosby starts his usual act where he starts chirping all of a sudden

four power plays to one in game one uh a b s call on caco who got thrown into the goal anyway

oh so that aside chris which i i get it um little oh god it was a little i guess, one of those things where I kind of need to settle down a bit and, you know, probably think before I text. But that's how I fell at the time. Oh, watch the Mill Gibson movie about conspiracy theories. That's how I felt at the time. How about just going out and out playing? That would help, you know, and that's what they basically, you know, even on it. Yeah, whatever. So. So. So. More importantly, which I don't feel good about, Brian Dable, uh, was that all, was at three of the victories at the garden. Well, this is the connection we're going to make here to the giants that, yeah, Dave but I guess Kvon Tiber those one and oh at the garden yes they're at

game seven yeah so the Giants brought some good luck um to the rangers I mean

dable enjoyed he actually talked to us last week at the rookie camp and he was

hoping to go to that game seven and he loved the experience of being at the

garden and which is listen the garden's electrifying you know you have even though there's

19 000 conspiracy theorists there it's it's electrifying i would say playoff anything at the garden
