PS4 day, Ziyafet and Rangers streak ends

It was a bit of a PS4 day for me today. I managed to have short sessions on Child Of Light, Flockers and The Last Of Us and racked up quite a few games in GM mode in NHL 15. I really liked Child Of Light as it not a fast and frantic game, the player can leisurely look and around and do stuff without having to have split second reactions all the time which was a welcome change. It's also really cute! Flockers is like Lemmings only using sheep instead. It's a bit weird hearing "baa" noises coming out of the speaker on the controller!
Tomorrow I shall mostly be playing NHL 15 and then taking Shadow Of Mordor for a spin!

Toni and I took Pam and Zoe to Ziyafet for dinner as the desire to cook anything was absolutely zero! It was nice to get out of the house for a short while and good food made it even better.

We stayed up late watching How I Met Your Mother so that we would still be awake for New York Rangers v Dallas Stars at 01:30.

First period starting with a strong push from the Stars and although the Rangers did push forward it felt like the Stars had the better possession. This all changed when the Rangers we on the power play and J.T. Miller made it 1 - 0 to the Rangers at 05:57. Dallas Stars were on the power play not long afterwards and tied the game 1 - 1 at 09:02. It was end to end for a while after that and then the Stars went 1 - 2 ahead at 15:46. Rangers didn't let up though and tied it 2 - 2 at 16:46 with a deflected shot from Kevin Hayes. First period ended 2 - 2. Shots on goal were NYR 6 and DAL 8.

Second period started with some Rangers pressure but the Stars took a 2 - 3 lead after 54 seconds. Rangers had some great chances but just couldn't get one past the Stars. The Stars are a fast team and I am really glad the Rangers don't have to play them too often in a season. Second period ended with Rangers trailing 2 - 3. Shots on goal were NYR 11 (20) and DAL 8 (17).

Third period start with the remainder of a Rangers power play but sadly nothing came of it. It was end to end with both teams desperate to score again. Rangers had their chances but Stars were more dominant for the first half. Rangers then started to up the ante to try and grab the equaliser. Two minutes of empty net bum squeezing time. Somehow the Rangers managed to keep the score at 2 - 3 and not concede another. Sadly the winning streeak ended at eight games and the Rangers lost 2 - 3.
