Sam & Minion and Rangers move to second after overtime win

In a rare moment of getting in front of a camera Sam was caught cuddling a Minion!

I am pleased to report that his toe is really starting to heal well now. He walks around the house without his crutches and has now started only taking one to work which is really good.

After our usual TV catch ups (Believe and Cosmos tonight) we settled down for the New York Rangers v Phoenix Coyotes game. There was a big presentation ceremony for Henrik Lundqvist to start the night celebrating his 302+ wins and 50 shutouts. All was good and then the game started! With ten minutes the Coyotes were leading 0 - 2. This was how the first period ended. I was almost tempted to go to bed and give up at that point. I am glad that I didn't. In the first ten minutes of the second the Rangers had tied it up 2 - 2. Sadly those pesky Coyotes made it 2 - 3 and the second period ended with the Rangers behind again! It took until 16:32 into the third period before the Rangers equalised again and we were then headed into overtime.

This was a game that the Rangers needed to win. The Flyers had just been beaten and a win would take the Rangers from third to second. The hockey gods were smiling down tonight though and Ryan McDonagh snagged the 4 - 3 winning goal and we went to bed tired but very happy with another Rangers win!
