I could really get used to these late starts, just got another week of them to go before I have to adjust back to the old regime. I shall make the most of them while I can. I had turkey dripping for breakfast for the second day in a row. One of the major good things about this time of year :)
Toni went over to see Jamie for a few hours and I stayed behind to look after Pam. Playstation Network was back up so I could set up the PS4 properly and indulge in a couple of games. Wolfenstein New World Order and NHL 15 were my weapons of choice. It was great to be able to start a GM mode season as the New York Rangers playing with the current roster. My play was about as consistent as the Rangers at the start of the season too LOL.
We had a bit of a marathon run watching How I Met Your Mother and enjoyed some Chinese food (to give us a break from the usual cold meat platter) and just chilled out.
The day finished off with New York Rangers v New Jersey Devils as our hockey choice for the night. It was a cagey game to start with and both teams had chances but couldn't put the puck away. At 18:14 Derek Stepan scored short handed putting the Rangers 1 - 0 up. The first period ended with Rangers leading 1 - 0. Shots on goal were NYR 10 and NJD 8.
Second period was again end to end with the Devils looking a little more dangerous. The Rangers power play clicked though and at 07:38 Derek Stepan scored his second to take the Rangers 2 - 0 up. Devils pulled one back to make it 2 - 1 at 10:23. The Rangers really started to pile on some pressure towards the end of the second with some good chances. They managed to dodge another goal against with the metalwork making the save! Second period ended with Rangers leading 2 - 1. Shots on goal were NYR 13 (23) and NJD 5 (13).
More pressure from the Devils in the third as they desperately tried to tie things up. Towards the end of the period the Rangers had a great surge. A Rick Nash empty netter was ruled offside which was then compensated for as Derek Stepan got his hat trick and made it 3 - 1 at 19:05. Rangers won the game 3 - 1 making it eight consecutive wins! Shots on goal were NYR 5 (28) and NJD 7 (20).
