still buzzing from some Game 7 magic...

last night was one of those nights. i was completely glued in to Game 7 between the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins. and the joy from a memorable Game 7, is i never come down from that high for a few days. the Rangers scored first last night. that made me happy. but, just like the last two elimination games, they fell behind, 3-2, going into the 3rd period. the Rangers scored late in the 3rd to send the game to overtime. there is something magical about Game 7 overtimes at MSG. this was no different. the Rangers got a great play from K'Andre Miller to draw a penalty on the Penguins. and wouldn't you know, Artemi Panarin scored on the power play to give the Rangers a 4-3 OT victory. they became the first team in NHL history to come back from a 3-1 deficit in a series where they had to come from behind in each of the elimination games to win the series. they will face the Carolina Hurricanes, starting on Wednesday. this was the first time in 5 years the Rangers have advanced to the second round.

both Game 7's went into overtime as Calgary defeated Dallas 3-2 in OT.

so the next round of the playoffs have some really juicy series. the Lightning play the Panthers in the battle of Florida. the Blues and Avalanche should be rather entertaining. the Rangers will play Carolina, which has 6 former Rangers on the team. and then of course, the battle of Alberta, Edmonton vs. Calgary. i can remember growing up watching those games. that should be fascinating to see that again. the second round starts tomorrow night.

both Game 7's in the NBA yesterday were blowouts. here are your highlights:

the New York Yankees won yesterday at the White Sox, 5-1. they start a series tonight at Baltimore. the Yankees have the best record in MLB at 25-9.

i did write 3 poems today while mom was doing her physical therapy. i haven't typed those up yet. i had to run to Lowe's to get tomato food and another tomato cage, just in case the one tower we have doesn't work like we hope it will. i was supposed to go to the bank as well, but mom didn't have my check ready yet. so, i guess i will be doing that tomorrow afternoon.

i have to take her to the doctor in the morning tomorrow so we can go over her MRI results. i don't think mom is looking forward to it.

VICE was really good last night.
