Star Wars games, Rebels trailer and Rangers win on overtime to lead the series 3 - 1

In all my excitement about Star Wars Episode VII trailers and Celebration 2016 tickets I completely forget to talk about Star Wars Battlefront 3, the new video game coming to consoles towards the end of the year. The latest trailer has now been released

I have Star Wars Battlefront on pre-order already for my PS4, can't wait to play it!

As I am not really a frequenter of arcades these days I also missed out on this awesome trailer for Star Wars Battle Pod. Brings back memories of the old Atari Star Wars vector arcade game in 1983 and then Return Of The Jedi in 1984. Looks very cool though


Continuing the Star Wars trailers theme, here is the Season Two trailer for Star Wars Rebels:


Game 4 of the New York Rangers v Pittsburgh Penguins series didn't start well. The Penguins came out all guns blazing and were 0 - 1 up after 02:22. The Rangers looked tired and sluggish so instead of coming out to play and extend their lead to 3 - 1 they came out lacklustre and playing for the Penguins to tie the series 2 - 2.  Power play was terrible as usual. Someone needed to tell them that they can't score if they don't shoot! First period ended with the Rangers down 0 - 1. Shots on goal were NYR 2 and PIT 8. Diabolical!

Rangers did start the second looking a little more with it. Power play was still shite though and getting shots on goal seemed to be alien to them. It was still an ugly period but the Rangers seemed to show determination After a lot of hustle the Rangers tied the game 1 - 1 with a scrappy tap in by Derick Brassard at 17:15. Phew! Second period ended tied at 1 - 1. Shots on goal were NYR 12 (14) and PIT 8 (16).

Third period started with the Penguins having the slight edge which wasn't how I wanted it to begin. It was more end to end although the shots were few and far between from both sides. I did work out why New York is known as The Big Apple. Loads of turnovers! The end of the third became very cautious with neither team wanting to make a mistake. Both teams had their chances but neither could get that goal to take the lead.  Third period ended still tied at 1 - 1. Shots on goal were NYR 6 (21) and PIT 7 (23). Into overtime we went! Overtime began with Penguins on the attack but the Rangers soon started fighting back. After a scramble in front of the Penguins net Kevin Hayes scores at 03:14 Rangers won the game 2 - 1 in overtime. Shots on goal were NYR 2 (23) and PIT 0 (23). Rangers now lead the series 3 - 1 and have a chance to wrap it up at home on Friday night!
