How do you think the game is going to go? Would you ever consider selling your tickets to a Habs fan if they approached you? We discuss all this and more today.

On the program today, we have some seasonal segments, talking with meteorologist Andy Parker and Chris Zeisz of Russell's Tree & Shrub Farm, we take your calls on birdwatching, and on an episode in the not so distant past, we covered prom disasters, so today, we expand that to weddings, have you been a part of any disastrous weddings? What was disastrous about it?

As summer draws nearer in Western New York and, by extension, garending season, we have Chris Zeisz of Russell's Tree & Shrub Farm to talk some of the most popular flowers and trees people are buying this year, advice for dealing with weeds, advice for if you're just getting into gardening, and more.

On the show today, we discuss the two bills recently passed by the Erie County Legislature, one which bans businesses from collecting, storing, and selling the biometric data of its patrons, and the other which would make it legal for 12 and 13-year-olds in Erie County to hunt with a crossbow or firearm under direct adult supervision.

Which is the better representation of Western New Yorkers? Also, after seeing the touching moment where fans jumped in to finish 'O Canada' for Cami Clune, what does that say about the relationship between Canadians and Americans?

The Buffalo Sabres will have to wait at least one more game to win their first playoff series since 2007as Bruins forward David Pastrnak ensured the series will see a game after scoring the game winning goal in overtime of game five.

What is behind this uptick? We ask you as well as Republican strategist Carl Calabrese.

Over the weekend, a gunman rushed a security checkpoint and exchanged gunfire with law enforcement at the White House Correspondents' dinner. What do you think about this? Many people took issue with Jimmy Kimmel, who a few days before the incident said the First Lady of the United States had the glow of an 'expectant widow'. Was that particular line and similar rhetoric we've heard from Kimmel prior out of line? Also, we speak with Congressman Nick Langworthy about the incident, among other topics.
