Hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day week-end. More heavy rain headed for Deer Creek at about 5:00am. We had 2.5 inches on Thursday which puts us at around 6.5″ for the month plus whatever we get today on the last day of May.
Be sure and thank those who have served or are serving our county currently. Freedom is a fragfile, treasured commodity we all take for granted.
The Road to the Stanley Cup is heating up with Tampa, Colorado, and Boston already leading their second round series 1-0.
Nine teams are still in play with Toronto hosting Motreal in a first round Game 7 tonight. Then there will be eight teams left…this is how I would seed the remaining nine at this point:
1 Tampa, 2 Colorado, 3 Boston, 4 Vegas, 5 NY Islanders, 6 Carolina, 7 Toronto, 8 Montreal and 9 Winnipeg.
Toronto…the perennial team which always looks good, but hasn’t won a Cup since 1967. The Texas A&M Aggies of the NHL.
I still have Tampa as my team to beat, but both Colorado and Boston clearly have my attention.
Sixteen wins are needed to win a Cup. Three teams are now in need of eleven more wins. The best tournament in sports. Jim Nance doesn’t know what he’s been missing all these years.
Both Ovechkin and Sid gone in the first round. The hockey world is Nathan McKinnon’s this Stanley Cup tournament. In five games so far…Nate has 8 goals and 5 assists as his team has yet to lose a game.
Nathan McKinnon is the best hockey player in the world at this window of time.
Chris Jackson is conflicted. Now that he lives in Denver he doesn’t know if his hockey heart belongs to Boston or the Avs. I say why not both.
