Early start, NJPW, gardening, hockey and Queen

I was up early today as I forget to turn my alarms off and it's a bank holiday. Despite the early start at least it was an extra day off. Made a cuppa and watched NJPW Summer Struggle 13 and 14 before heading out into the garden to do some pruning. Made good progress out the back and then went and did the front as everything was looking a tad unruly out there. Back lawn also received some much needed love




The cracks are now weed free!


It was back to the hockey catch up today starting with Dallas Stars v Colorado Avalanche. Stars were leading the series 2 - 1 and our hope was that they would extend this. Stars came out all guns blazing and at the end of the first period were leading 3 - 0. Avalanche got back in it for the second and the Stars ended up with a 3 - 2 lead at the end go the second period. Both teams were going for it in the third period. Stars won the game 4 - 3 and extended their series lead to 3 - 1. Some results go my way!

Next up was New York Islanders v Philadelphia Flyers. Islanders were leading this series 2 - 1. It still pains me to support the Flyers but there is no way the Islanders are getting any love from me (what with them being arch rivals of the Rangers). First period ended tied at 0 - 0. Both teams upped their game aft that and the second period ended 1 - 1. Things got a bit frantic at the end but sadly the Islanders emerged as 3 - 2 winners and now lead the series 3 - 1. Boo.

Last game of the night was Vancouver Canucks v Vegas Gold Knights. This Golden Knights were leading this series 2 - 1 so it was fingers crossed that the Canucks could tie things up. Golden Knights were certainly the better team in the first and ended it 2 - 1 ahead. Second period ended with the Canucks leading 3 - 2. Sadly Golden Knight bounced back and won the game 5 - 3 and extended their series lead to 3 - 1. 

We finished our evening off with The Show Must Go On: The Queen & Adam Lambert Story.
