Star Wars mode engaged and Rangers get the win

Today was one of those days where plans went out the window. Not in a bad way as such, we just put off something until tomorrow. Instead it was a day of chilling, We watched a bit of hockey and I spent a lot of time looking at Star Wars pretties on eBay and Amazon. Some purchases were made and all will be revealed once they arrive :) I might have to pick up a copy of this to make sure I am getting a bargain!

A quick catch up with King Of The Nerds was followed by The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi. Yes folks, we are full on back in Star Wars mode again! We are now considering watching the whole of The Clone Wars again!

New York Rangers v Carolina Hurricanes was our live hockey game of choice. Rangers came out flying and were leading 1 - 0 after a Rick Nash shot at 06:30. Not content with sitting back Dominic Moore then made it 2 - 0 with a lovely short handed goal. First period ended with Rangers leading 2 - 0. Shots on goal were NYR 8 and CAR 15.

Hurricanes surged forward in the second with Lundqvist making some great saves. Hurricanes grabbed one back at 05:38 to make it 2 - 1. Rangers always seemed to be on the back foot in this period with the Hurricanes getting more scoring chances. Second period ended 2 - 1 to the Rangers. Shots on goal were NYR 13 (21) and CAR 10 (25).

Third period saw the Rangers coming out like they meant business. The crossbar made an excellent save for the Hurricanes! Chris Kreider extended the Rangers to lead to 3 - 1 at 10:16. Dan Boyle then slipped one in at 10:37 to take the Rangers to 4 - 1. Period ended with a much needed 4 - 1 win. Shots on goal were NYR 16 (37) and CAR 7 (32).

...and on that happy note I will leave you with Dan Boyle and Dancin' Larry!
