Although it wasn't about the Rangers, to Boomer's delight, Thursday's radio program began with a lengthy conversation about hockey, this after the Islanders topped the Penguins 4-3 in OT, at The Nassau Coliseum, to take a 1-0 series lead.
Over on the diamond, Noah Syndergaard took the ball for the Mets, pitched well enough to win against the Twins and the Mets did just that, taking advantage of a Twins implosion and winning 9-6.
As for the Yankees, they turned to James Paxton down in Houston and things did not go very well, which seems to be becoming a pattern for the struggling Bombers.
But the focus of Thursday's show open was all really on the Islanders, who won Game 1 in the Old Barn, which was absolutely rocking. The energy in that building was unreal, and it helped the Islanders to a hard-fought win in overtime. Can they win this series with that home-ice advantage?
