Great day, The Man In The High Castle and Rangers back to winning

It's great when work is enjoyable and today was another good day! Productive meetings, lots of thoughts to process and ideas to work on. This is going to be a long journey to bring things together but I think it will be both frustrating, fun and rewarding in the long run. Finally had my work email address changed to match my real name as well which I am very happy about.

We started watching Amazon Prime's take on Philip K Dick's The Man In The High Castle.

This is a vision of the world if Germany and Japan had won World War 2. Admittedly I didn't make it all the way through before crashing out but this wasn't a reflection on the show, just me being knackered. I didn't think it was too bad. A little slow to start perhaps but certainly has some potential. I've not read the book but apparently there are a fair few differences but that's to be expected in this day and age I guess.

Following on from two games of New York Rangers disappointment I was hopeful that things would be different tonight against Columbus Blue Jackets. The game didn't start well with the Rangers not getting a shot on goal in the first seven minutes. This was not great given that they haven't scored at all in their last two games. It soon picked up after that with the game going end to end. First period ended 0 - 0. Shots on goal were NYR 13and CBJ 14.

Second period was a good start for the Rangers. We had a nice little non-entity of a fight and then at 05:59 Marc Staal made it 1 - 0 Rangers. The scoring drought is over! Chris Kreider had a breakaway goal from a Derek Stepan pass to put the Rangers 2 - 0 up at 10:10. Period ended with the Rangers leading 2 - 0. Shots on goal were NYR 11 (24) and CBJ 10 (24).

Third period started well with lots of pressure from the Rangers. Blue Jackets pulled one back at 03:16 to reduce the Rangers lead to 2 - 1. With 1:26 remaining the Rangers had a goal disallowed after video review due to puck contact being made higher than the crossbar although it was really close. Rangers were back to winning days with a 2 - 1 win! Shots on goal were NYR 2 (26) and CBJ 12 (36). The third wasn't pretty but they did what was required!
