Thoughts on Blues-Avs 4/7/26
-Remember the wonderful chaos of the previous game I went to? Well, the chaos was still there, but it was nowhere near wonderful.
-Blues had an incredible amount of difficulty keeping the puck out of the defensive zone in the first. Colorado dominated with a 17-2 shot differential in the period.
-Is Robert Thomas the only Blue that can score on the Avs?
-Officiating seemed to have taken the night off for the most part. The Mailloux trip was epic and they caught it, but the crew of the Artemis could have seen that one
-Joel Hofer was the best player on the ice for the team. He actually played the puck forward a couple of times during the power play which I liked and have been campaigning for (seriously, why do they always just leave it behind the goal line for the D corps to pick up?)
-They got better throughout the course of the game, but it wasn't enough to make an impact
-Montgomery pulled Hofer pretty early in the third, but it didn't amount to anything.
-That wraps up the live coverage for this season. It's always fun and I'm looking forward to September already.

That's all I've got for tonight. See you all tomorrow!

It's Easter and I may have overloaded on the sweets today. We had my aunt and my sister's family over for dinner. Mom cooked up a storm. It was a delicious dinner. She made a white cake with whipped cream icing (covered with coconut) for dessert and that may have been the tipping point.

In other news, since it is "First Contact" day for the Trekkies among us, we watched the movie today. I don't think I've seen it since it was in the theater but it still was quite enjoyable. My mom isn't a fan of the Borg, so getting her to watch TNG when we get to that point in the timeline might be a big ask. The Queen was pretty cool though.

That's all I've got for now. See you all tomorrow!

It's practically Friday. I'm glad. It's going to take me a bit to get into a rhythm. It's April 2 and I'm already tired of people calling me about their air conditioners. *sigh*

Mom and I have been watching "The Count of Monte Cristo" miniseries on PBS. It's been quite enjoyable so far. I loved the book. It's been a long time since I've read it- I think I gave my copy to my nephew at one point when he was needing something on the lighter side. I'll have to ask him if he still has it.

My sister called to tell me that there was a playoff pre-sale happening. The Blues have an extremely slim chance of making it, but looking at the price (it would be a little over $300 for the whole series), it was a no-brainer to take a pass on them this year. Since we're going to see the Draft, I'm perfectly fine with them tanking and missing the playoffs by a mile.

That's all I've got for now. See you tomorrow.
