So the buses were on strike this morning which was a bit of an inconvenience. Added to that the fact that lots of trains aren't stopping at London Bridge and suddenly we have a very interesting trip to work. Toni gave me a lift to the station due to the buses being out which took ages due to a great increase in the number of cards on the road. I had the choice of wait twenty minutes for a train to Cannon Street or get a Charing Cross so I option for the Charing Cross one. This was fast from Hither Green to Waterloo East so I got off there and then jumped on the Jubilee line to London Bridge to get to work. It might actually have been quicker to wait for the Cannon Street train!
Working day wasn't too bad. Spending more and more times in meetings so I've asked the boss to swap out my desktop for a laptop to make it easier for me to keep on top of things. Be interesting to see how that goes! Fingers crossed it won't be too long and I'll get a decent machine (or nothing will happen and I'll be stuck with my desktop and inconvenience LOL). Watch this space!
Ice hockey grudge match time tonight as New York Rangers took on arch rivals New York Islanders. Rangers have just won thirteen out of fourteen games and are on 52 points and the Islanders are currently leading the Metropolitan Division with 57 points. The first ten minutes was a bit cagey with neither team taking any unnecessary risks. It started to open up after that with both teams trying to break the deadlock. Period ended 0 - 0. Shots on goal were NYR 9 and NYI 13.
Second started with Islanders putting on the pressure. Islanders had a goal disallowed due to incidental contact with Lundqvist. Islanders kept up the attack and were rewarded at 08:49 as they took the 0 - 1 lead. Islanders dominated for the whole period. It was then 0 - 2 at 16:31. Rangers went on the power play and the Islander scored short handed to make it 0 - 3 at 19:19. Period ended with the Rangers losing 0 - 3. Shots on goal were NYR 12 (21) and NYI 19 (32).
Third period started with Lundqvist on the bench and Cam Talbot filling the Rangers net. Islanders continued to be a force to contend with and the Rangers just seemed to have no come back. Islanders won the game 0 - 3. Final shots on goal were NYR 6 (27) and NYI 12 (44). It was really hard to believe that this was the same team that I had been praising recently as they were pretty dire tonight.
