00:00I like that. I'm going to go to that Star Wars night and get an Anthony Rizzo Mandalorian bobblehead doll.
00:06It's cumbersome to say, but believe it or not, I actually know what all of those words mean as a Yankees and Star Wars fan.
00:13It would probably look all right.
00:14Yeah, but someone just tuning into the radio who's not a sports nor a Star Wars fan is like,
00:18Anthony Rizzo Mandalorian bobblehead doll. What the hell are they discussing?
00:22What sort of English is that?
00:23Hey, this is what we'll talk about with the sports.
00:25Devils, Rangers game seven last night and the Devils came out on top four to nothing.
00:33What a shut out performance that perfect game.
00:37Considering what Schmidt walked into after two games where the Rangers called scored 10 goals and he put an end to it and then he gets yanked himself and comes back in this form.
00:49Yeah, he was the third goalie behind Vanacek and Blackwood and maybe the Devils have found their postseason goalie going forward with Akira Schmidt.
01:0031 saves to pick up the huge shutout victory, but they were perfect on all sides offensively, defensively.
01:07Mike McLeod, Eric Holla among the Devils who scored.
01:12Brat, I believe, also scored.
01:15The Devils advance to face the Carolina Hurricanes in the next series.
01:20Certainly is a huge win for the Devils when you consider they dropped the first two games on their home ice.
01:28They have to go down 0-2 to Madison Square Garden to play the Rangers.
01:33New York City was hyped up for that, and I know a lot of Rangers fans.
01:37I'm not trying to get too crazy today because I have some Rangers buddies, and they are really down in the dumps.
01:45This was supposed to be, all right, last year we made the Eastern Conference, and now we're going to get it into the Stanley Cup Finals, and there was a hell of a lot of nada.
01:54I mean, they have a good team, but they just can't get over that hump.
01:59Meanwhile, the Devils are looking great.
02:01They're young, and I like their chances against Carolina.
02:04I really do.
02:05Carolina's banged up.
02:06I tuned into the post-game coverage just to hear what people were talking about, and a lot of the announcers, the NHL, not just the Devils crew, but the ESPN, the neutral people, were liking the Devils' chances over the Hurricanes as well,
02:19thinking that offensively they feel that the Devils have a little more firepower than the Canes.
02:25You've got to get this Schmidt guy between the pipes.
02:27I mean, how do you not start him?
02:29Very exciting.
02:31Condolences to Rangers fans.
02:32I'll try to be classy for a change, but Devils fans, congratulations.
02:37You're advancing, and it's a really cool time.
02:39You know, Prudential Center was lit up last night.
02:41That was good times.
02:42Now, basketball, the Garden will be lit up for hoops.
02:46Huge game two tonight for the Knicks.
02:48They take on the Heat at 730 as the Knicks trail Miami one game to none.
02:53With this game being in Madison Square Garden, the Knicks cannot go down 0-2 and then head to Miami.
02:59I know the Devils just did it, but this Miami Heat team is for real.
03:05They made the NBA Finals a few years ago.
03:07They got Jimmy Butler, who is an unbelievable postseason player.
03:11Big physical team.
03:12Yeah, I just don't think the Knicks can afford to go down 0-2.
03:15Go out there, win tonight, and make this a series.
03:18I think they can.
03:19Other NBA playoff scores from last night, Sixers defeated the Celtics, 119-115, to go up one game to none.
03:27And the Nuggets got past the Suns, 97-87, as Denver goes up one game to none.
03:32Baseball, the Yankees lost their fourth in a row.
03:35They look like poo-poo.
03:37Yanks fell to the Guardians 3-2.
03:40They've dropped to 15-15, currently in last place in the very competitive American League East.
03:48Worse, the Yankees announced that captain Aaron Judge has been placed on the IL with a hip sprain.
03:54I don't like that.
03:56Yet again, now, we're losing Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge.
04:01Now, in Judge's case, they say they're confident that he could be back between 10 days and two weeks, but still.
04:07The Mets split a doubleheader with the Braves yesterday, as the Mets lost to the Braves in game one, 9-8.
04:12And then they took down Atlanta in game two, 5-3.
04:15The Phillies were crushed by the Dodgers, 13-4.
04:18Finally, the Jets have signed offensive tackle Billy Turner.
04:22Protect our guy.
04:23That's what it's all about.
04:24Turner actually blocked for Aaron Rodgers from 2019 to 2021 with the Green Bay Packers.
04:30So, he knows the offensive coordinator.
04:32Let's go.
04:33And he knows the quarterback.
04:34I mean, our last quarterback, one of our last quarterbacks got three broken ribs.
04:38We need a little protection in this.
04:39Definitely need some help.
04:41And I think they got it with this guy.
04:42That's your quick look at sports.
04:43All right, man.
