Early morning call out, Drag Race UK and New York Rangers

It was not a good night, I was called at 03:45 to deal with a work emergency which took almost two hours to sort out. I didn't bother going back to bed after that. Went downstairs and made some coffee and Toni and I had a very early breakfast. The real working day wasn't too bad though and I did at least make a concerted effort to finish early for a change.

We watched the first episode of RuPaul's Drag Race UK Season 2.

It was a good start to the season although we were sad to see Joe Black for home so early.

It was then time to check out the New York Rangers opening game of the season against arch rivals New York Islanders. Things did not start well with the Rangers trailing 0 - 3 at the end of the first period. First video review of the season on a Rangers goal was waved off even though it was pretty clear that it should have been given. It didn't improve after that with the Rangers on the wrong end of a 0 - 4 scoreline at the end of the second period. The Islanders were then on the wrong end of a goal challenge and had one waved off, The game ended with a horrible 0 - 4 loss. Not a great start to the season.

We finished the night off with Carolina Hurricanes against Detroit Dead Things, sorry Red Wings. It's much easier watching a hockey game when you don't have a massive interest in one of them winning as you can just enjoy the flow and skill on display.We wanted the Hurricanes to win but we didn't have a partisan attitude (unlike in the Rangers game LOL). Hurricanes won the game 3 - 0 which was a good solid result.
