Hey everyone, it's Boomer and Gio, and if you're into New York sports or you want straight talk about what's really going on in the sports world, Boomer and Geo is your show. We're covering it all. Yankees wins, Giants drama, national headlines, and whatever chaos the day brings on the field and all. No filler, no filters, just real conversation. And believe me, plenty of laughs every weekday morning. We don't hold back and we don't waste your time.

We get to what actually matters.

That's Boomer and Gio and you can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your pods. And of course, that means here's Joe McAletty. Joe, welcome. How are you? I'm great, Mike. Thanks. All right, Joe, take us back to the weekend. Here we are. Game two, two-goal lead.

What happened?

Well, they didn't play well enough in the first game, Mike, obviously.

Right. The one player that gave a chance to win that game was Henrik Lunkwist.

But other than that, the Rangers didn't, you know, didn't, they didn't have much patience. They turned the puck over. They didn't have sustained pressure. And Lundquist, you know, with what 20 or 21 saves in the first period, kept them in it. Now, you know, then they got a little bit unlucky, actually, on the game when you go, which should have been an icing that wasn't called. But when you look at that game, you say, you know, Ottawa deserved to win it. They,

they had the puck. They put the pressure on. Lunk was kept his team in it, but they didn't win.

Game number two, the Rangers were much better. I watched that game again this morning, Mike, and right from start to finish.

Because after the game, I know that Elaine Vino said, or maybe a day later, he said,

you know, we did a lot of good things, and they did. But they just, they made some critical mistakes

that ended up hurting them.

But if you look at the totality of the game, most of the game they did some really good things.

I mean, and you're absolutely right.

You can't have three, two-goal leads in the playoffs, score two short-handed goals, and lose the game.

And, uh,

well, Joe, this is a veteran team.

What, listen, you're a player.

You know this.

Uh, you've been in that position.
