Gibbons & Cote in the Evening: Easter Weekend Review

Welcome back to another fun & exciting installment of Gibbons & Cote in the Evening! This episode, Gibbs & I break down BC's NCAA hockey title and the Frozen Four, as well as compare this championship team to the others in the past few years. We also review the rest of the big sporting events of the Easter weekend, including a Madison Square Garden report on the states of the Knicks & Rangers as the playoffs roll around in both sports. Baseball is a topic too, especially since the Yankees & Sawx started 0-3 in contrast with a 3-0 start for the New York Mets (they play in the NL East in case anyone was wondering who the Mets are). Be sure to check us out for great banter on these topics and more!! Cheers.

A Christmas Miracle: My Knicks-Celtics Thoughts

Melo makes the Garden rock.

As I finished having breakfast with my family after opening presents on Christmas morning, I realized that there were only 45 minutes left before the tip-off of the NBA season. I rushed through a shower, threw on some clothes, and hurried downstairs just in time to catch the Knicks and Celtics open the 2011-12 season. And boy am I glad that I didn't miss a second of the game.

It was an instant classic between two teams that genuinely seem to dislike each other, and that made the match-up even more intriguing than I was expecting. The game was chippy from the start, and stayed that way until the end, when after missing the potential game-tying jumper, Kevin Garnett (who even Celtics fans think is a somewhat dirty player) and Homeless Bill Walker (I call him Homeless because he looks and plays like someone who has been sleeping on the street) got into a scuffle. Homeless, a former Celtic, exchanged some words with KG, who proceeded to grab him by the throat. The incident was brief, but it summed up the game very well: it was a hard-fought battle that the Knicks eventually won.
