The learning the virtue of sharing fun. Why let someone else have all the fun . Thats no fun. Unleash the power of dough. It is probably, i dont know, the hardest, one of the hardest jobs, being a goalie in the n hl. We have the thing for you. This is a virtual hockey simulator. Joining us this morning, former rangers player and analyst. Thank you for coming in. Tell us about the simulator. Duke is wired up here. This is getting a chance to see what it is like to be a goal tender. As you can see here, the duke, look around. It feels realistic. I have the voice taking you through the whole thing. In the locker room, taping up and lacing up and to the ice. They are shooting the puck. [laughter] it is scary. I have tried it already, i buckets. It is crazy. We talked about in the commercial break being a goalie, the pucks are coming how fast . 110 miles per hour. Wow. As a former hockey player, how real is this game . It is real. Oh, it is real. Two of four. I need the blocker back here. Oh. Cat like reflexes. [laughter] the thing, you are getting into it. It is a workout. You do. You think okay i will get a few shots, you get competitive and wanting to stop everything. You can see right here, like, you are trying to stop everything. With the goggles on, it is scary. So you can do this on the concourse level at msg . Yes, the fans can stop by, we are trying to enhance the Fan Experience at the games. What is the reaction to it . It is great, young, old, female, the fans are loving it. Out of breath. Great shape. Duke it is like you are going to get hurt. You are thinking you have to protect yourself. Ben is going to gear up. Two of four in the first round. I just got in the way. You can do this . Well, one of our talents at msg tried it, jj beat me. I beat steve. Hey, so, when you are doing this, is there a key to doing it, i looked at the center of the skaters body and guessing which way they are going to go, what is the key . There are only 30 goal tenders. The guys have the ablth to make the reflex saves and react to the puck. Once you guess, i have them beat. The first round is a couple of shots and rapid fire after that . Yes. Slowly easing into the game. On you. You. And it is cool. Nice stop. Tell us about the ranger team, 361. Not a great night in nashville. How much of that is just a lulls of the season, or how much of that is carry over from last season, you played so many games . It is a little of both. If you watch the way that teams play, you cant play 82 games and be on a high every time. There are valleys. Rangers are going through that. Okay. They need a nice balance attack together. They have not had that in together. All right. Hes getting low. Hes getting like a real goalie. They are following the puck to the body. How many actual shots do you real quick. Ranger fans worried about what is happening now, is this a thing they come out after getting healthy . Theyll be okay. The defensive core is unbelievable.

To hate, the social media mob. From a woman who pretended to be black and the former exec that raised the price of a drug. So have you walked the walk of a black woman . Absolutely. The Washington Post named rachel the third most hated person, the former person of the naacp posed as africanamerican. She was outed this woman as a white woman and angered many and the internet forgot her as it did everyone else it hated this year. It is a constant flow of information coming through 24 hours a day and something bumps that particular story. It is blamed on a news cycle turning ever fasting, like the killed cecil. Not only are we anonymous in the thing that we say, but we escalate the conversation with the one upsman ship. The post east most hated person, built rapidly and passed in a couple of days, until aest ared 3 months later. Under Whose Authority . The clerk in middle of kentucky that refused to issue mashlg licenses to gay couples brought a lot of attention. She went to jail, those coupled married and now continuing to follow the fat jew after admitting he plagiarized jokes witch hunters. Im not supposed to be doing this. Donald trump is one unforgettable target because he refused to go away or dwell on just one moment and continue stantly supplying the material. They do not become indelible in your minds. What a year. All right, mike woods, a dry year at that, we are ending on a wet note a little bit . Yes a little catch up work in terms of the rainfall we were lacking for the year, but more left over for you today. The frozen precip is coming to a close. Only minor accumulation is expected at this point. More rain. You can see that rain with a mixed line moving up to the north. All together it will be rain as we head to later half of the day and then the showers are coming to a close for a while. High of 52 this afternoon. Tomorrow a quick shower that is it. 52 again. 52 on thursday. We see a cool down, highs dropping down to upper 30s and lower 40s for early next year. Cool, fresh and winter like weather. Not a lot of snow coming to us in the city so far. Thank you, mike. Cool, fresh, we have clean shaven here. You started with a beard and end ending smooth. Thank you to michael harr doing the shave. My first like that. Very cool. Thanks for joining us today on good day new york. After trying brookside chocolate, people talk about it online. Love at first taste.
