Cafe, Scorpions, Star Wars Imperial Assault and a hockey bonanza

There was good sleep had last night. I managed to actually have 8+ hours sleep which was a real luxury. It was back to the cafe for breakfast with Pam again today which is always a good way to start the day (although it was more lunch than breakfast).

A nice package arrived today containing an assortment of Scorpions Blu-rays and a DVD:

We then spent a lovely afternoon watching both the Moment Of Glory and MTV Unplugged shows. It's great to hear so many classic songs presented in a different way. The orchestral arrangements in Moment Of Glory always bring me to tears. Yes I am very passionate and emotional about music :)

Toni, Sam and I then had a game of Star Wars Imperial Assault (the game I got for my birthday). It's a pretty good game. I played the Imperials and Toni and Sam were Rebel scum (or Heroes as they are described in the rules). It was a close game and I only won due to Sam not paying attention at the very end. Can't wait to play it again.

The rest of the day was a hockey bonanza with lots of key games that we were keeping an eye on. First up was Florida Panthers v Buffalo Sabres with the Panthers desperately trying to overtake Boston Bruins to get a wild card play off spot. A 5 - 3 win took the Panthers 2 points nearer to the Bruins. Next up was the New York Islanders v Carolina Hurricanes. Islanders were 2 points ahead of the Rangers so this was a game we wanted them to lose. At the same time the Bruins were facing the Arizona Coyotes which we kept a cursory eye on to the gap between them and the Panthers. Thankfully the Islanders choked 5 - 3 to the Carolina Hurricanes. Bruins won their game 4 - 1 so there is once again a 4 point gap between them and the Panthers.

New York Rangers v Philadelphia Flyers finished things off. Sadly it was an NBC broadcast and their commentators are irritating twats! They didn't improve as the game went on and their pro-Flyers bias didn't help.As for the game itself..... sadly it wasn't a great game and the Rangers lost 2 - 4. On the plus side they still have three games in hand over the Islanders so there is still time to regain the #1 spot again.
