RIP Hondo, one of the all-time greats....forever will I hear his name in Johnny Most's voice: "Havlicek stole the ball...!"

Holy shit....another double OT, and Washington is eliminated. All 4 top division leaders - Tampa Bay, Nashville, Washington, and Calgary - are out in round 1. This is going to (continue to) be a very interesting playoffs!

Some folks arguing that shouldn't have been a 5-minute major. It was a VERY hard push, though, and then the second player also contributed to Pavelski nearly flipping over and landing awkwardly. I've read that the refs didn't even have their arms up initially. This may be the case of handing out punishment after seeing the injury. It could have been a 5-minute, or even a 2-minute penalty. It is what it is, though. And for Vegas to give up 4 goals like that, power play or not, is bad. So congrats to San Jose. Happy for the Bruins, they played a great game seven despite lots of 2nd period push from the Leafs. And I'm SO happy Kadri won't get to play again this year.... Now let's see if the Hurricanes can upset the Caps. Don't think they can, but a lot more surprises have happened this year.....

San Jose stays alive with the first-ever short-handed goal in > 1 OT periods..... Boston stays alive looking good in game 6. Hoping that game 7 will be the first where a team wins 2 in a row....!

Surprised someone hasn't tried to sue them for monopoly (I assume you have those type of anti-trade laws in UK?). Years back, we had a third party service that would track late "guaranteed" deliveries and recoup shipping costs for us. their cut was I think 1/3 the amount recovered, but it was still very worthwhile, and sadly profitable for them.

The top seeds in each conference have been eliminated in round one, first time ever apparently. Combined record of 1 win, 8 losses! Ouch..... Bruins don't seem to have the heart to answer Toronto's game. Some people complaining about goalie interference on Toronto's first goal last night. By letter of the law it may have been, but that wasn't the main reason why they lost. Hoping they get it together for game 6 and then even game 7! Tom, I'm loving that the Isles got through as well, especially since they swept Pittsburgh. There's a tiny bit of me that would love to see them beat Toronto in the ECF and have Tavares hand-shaking as a loser. But the bigger part of me wants the Bruins in, and even if not then for Columbus to beat Toronto.

If the Bruins can't make it, I want Columbus to go all the way in the East. Torts tends to wear his welcome out over time, but he's a good coach (and hilarious for interviews) and he has amped up that team. It looked like it took a while for them to gel with the trade deadline deals, but they are getting it together at the right time. Pretty open for who to root for in the West, wouldn't mind seeing Vegas in the finals again....

OV is a big, strong man. Sometimes cheap, but I've been a loose fan for a while, and a HUGE fan briefly when I found out he wears #8 for his mom! Was very happy he got a Cup last year. Watching the Bruins game, good series between them and the Leafs. Lots of letting the players play, but it results in Toronto fans complaining they let the Bruins do too much last game; and the Bruins fans (a few) complaining that now Toronto is getting away with more. But to me, story line of 2019 so far is Tampa Bay being down 3-0 in games....

Very Happy Birthday!

I was at an appointment with Karen, and someone in the waiting area was talking about it. RIP to a grand lady indeed!

No age is a good age for cancer.....but that young is even worse. RIP Colleen, condolences to family and friends.....

^^ What Al said! Happy Birthday!

I used to subscribe to Maximum PC a few years ago. Every issue would highlight one really cool build like that....some incredible creativity out there!

Agreed here. I was chosen once, spent a day and a half with a civil trial. Was actually quite interesting. The plaintiff was suing for some damages based on a certain reason. By letter of the law, the defendant (a company) was not guilty for THAT reason. But it was clear they were negligent in other areas; but we couldn't do anything about that, it wasn't part of the suit. Felt bad for the plaintiff, had some medical issues....and it was an interesting experience. But not necessarily something I'd want to do again, especially on a larger case.

Oh, man, how sad.....he had cleaned himself up and they were doing so well again.....RIP Keith......

Wow, very f-ing young....RIP Luke.....

Very Happy Birthday!

Nate, how does that electric handle the heavier, wet snow. We usually have a plow service for our driveway, and I handle the remaining with a shovel. I was thinking about an electric blower, but have read they don't do the heavy wet snow as well....

Getting ready for the "one-two" punch this weekend. Expecting 2-3" of snow this morning, then Sunday into Monday a larger batch of perhaps up to 8", TBD. Good luck to all in the paths of these.....
