Crap, sorry to hear it Nate! Hope it passes quickly and easily enough.....

Yes, great game! Hoping San Jose can pull it off too....

^^ Don't have any fingernails left......hats off to Rangers, they are playing much better the last couple games. Weird to think that powerplays are making such a difference in this game....3rd period may have nothing called unless there's a decapitation!

I think you're right, Steve. Rational thinking is slowly making its way through. Not as fast as many would like, but as you say: small steps.

Went on a Harbor Cruise as part of a work award for a project I was on. Saw the same two ships in Nate's pics. Got to meet some fine and fun folks from Colombia who we supported on this project.....

Happy Birthday!

Happy Belated!

Very Happy Birthday!!!

He DOES a lot of wrong things MANY times. Love his competitiveness, but he hasn't been able to get the ebst out of the talented NYR players. Oddly, many folks were complaining about Claude Julien being similar: too defensive-first, will stick too long to a potentially-faulty system, etc. But it worked, I think the team rallies behind him more....

Bruins' 4th line creates both goals! Real blood and guts hockey, would make Jim Carr proud. "everybody's on their feet yelling 'Kill! Kill! Kill!'. This....is.....hockey!"

Happy Birthday!

^^^^ Ooooh, an evil Harry Potter character! Which one is he?

All stated well....RIP

Ditto.....hoping the best for all involved, friend or stranger.....

It was a blowout in the third, but I thought the Rangers were finally moving during the first and second. The Nash goal was great, and had/has me worried that he found his game. But, the Rangers were down 2-0 to the Caps, so I'm not counting any chickens. One knows how that can work out...Toronto. Ready for Tuesday.....

The "or not" version turned out to be her falling asleep just a few minutes into the TV show she was watching. I ended up going to catch San Jose beat LA in OT..... We were down in NJ celebrating Mother's Day with her mother last week, hence the raincheck.

Spent some time celebrating a belated Mother's Day for my wife Karen. Nice diner-style breakfast (her dad used to do that a lot in NJ where she grew up), then off to get her a simple but decent bike. Capped off with a REALLY good Italian dinner in Newburyport, MA. She loved it, said it was her new favorite place (beating out Boston's North End, which is very hard to do). Now home, and considering watching a movie, or not.....

Partially owed to the fact the Bruins won, but I didn't think the game was so boring (was expecting a defensive snooze-fest). Yes, some tight defensive play, but getting almost 50 shots on goal is quite tough aginst a solid Rangers team. The Bruins had 3 defensemen injured, and almost a 4th multiple times during the game. Their rookies played REAL well for a first time in a second round playoff game! Rangers still scare me, though, if players like Nash find their touch again; and I fully expect Lundqvist to be better. There's some incredible talent there. I'm sure NY'ers probably feel frustrated with the Torts system at times, we certainly do at times with Julien's. But hell, whoever keeps winning keeps the job longer.

Happy Birthday!

Congrats, and damn you said this before I could!

Wow wow wow......still on a major high.....that was the most intense comeback I've EVER seen. Glad I DVR'd it because I missed goals 2 & 3....had to go back and re-watch. I promise I'll watch all the games, ALL game from now on. Thanks for keeping the faith Gene! Dan, sorry we couldn't re-hash our bet.....oddly, I thought it would have been more realistic to have the Caps in and Bruins out......

I was SO disgusted at the lack of effort, I was swearing up a storm and shut the dang thing off; I think i rattled that exact long phrase at my TV. But yeah....too soon.....I'll write "I'm sorry I called the Bruins Stupid-ass-tool-suckbag-loser-shithead-fucktards" a thousand times on the chalkboard if we can take this. Just keep the momentum into OT.....

Stupid-ass-tool-suckbag-loser-shithead-fucktard Bruins!!!! At least show some freakin' heart..... Oh well, I think they need to do what Vancouver is doing and retool some off-season. Showed such passion and grit in 2011, and have been near-empty shells since. Who to root for next....maybe Ottawa? They are everything the Bruins used to be.....would love to see them at least knock out the Penguins. Go.....someone! EDIT: HOLY FUCK!!!!! I turn it off to come post here, and now it's 4-4!!!!! Oh, don't break my heart.....going to watch the rest of the game now.

2 Game 7's tonight, seeing if Bruins can pull it off or do another nearly-Philadeplphia-2010 choke. Even if they win, I'm a little nervous about the next round. Rangers and Caps always play them tough. Don't necesarily have a preference in that series, don't dislike either team. I'll be disappointed if the Bruins lose, but they have not been playing up to their potential by any means, for the last couple months. So part of me is thinking they're done, but part is thinking they pull out the win.

Happy Belated! Hope it was great
