@Chris78 I got tickets through work for Saturday — too hard to turn down free tickets Maybe I should buy a new Jersey to change my mojo…

They definitely deserved to win that game - not sure they could have executed that any better

Yeah Caps!!! Up 2 with less than a minute to go

Well, let's keep that mojo going then!

I'm staying far way from the arena on Saturday, don't worry. I got onto a Zoom meeting earlier with a colleague who is a big PIT fan. Turned on my camera so he could see me in my Caps jersey. Surprisingly I'm not nervous going into this series like I have been in playoffs past - maybe the team will also be loose and play with something to prove. Lets go Caps!!!!

Beautiful evening! Enjoying a cocktail on the patio post-Orangetheory.

I’m creating quite the brand for myself here

May....or March?

That’s disgusting and 15-20 degrees below normal.

Up in NJ for my niece’s First Communion. What a day for it! Gorgeous today.

Yeah, agreed. FL is a really fast team too. Anything can happen though, so we’ll see. I love the SC Playoffs…favorite time of the year in sports!

I did the first application Wednesday evening and it seemed to have helped. I'll do regular weekly treatments for the next month and re-assess. I have to wash off the sooty mold too.

Yep, that's where my head is at too. Years where we were the #1 seed were disappointments as it seems like they had so much expectations placed on them going into it. We had a good end of the season (sans the last two games). We need Ovi back (which seems likely for the playoffs) and shake the rust off them from the last two games - they just looked dazed and sluggish. Oh and goaltending will be an issue for us in the playoffs. While I'm not expecting them to get out of the first round, it certainly wouldn't shock me if they did. I'd love to see the Pens lose and us sneak into the Met #3 spot.

Oof, just ugly ugly ugly.

That tells m e you're ready for the Stanley Cup Playoffs!

Average high is 72. Currently 50 degrees. Blech

Move to Boston

Awful. Pens got blown out too. We still have a decent shot at passing them.

I’ve got a black sooty mold problem on our tea oil camellia tree in the back patio. Has anyone used neem oil successfully to rid insects? Trying to eradicate those before I move to washing the sooty mold off the leaves. Seeing how nasty that honeydew / sooty mold looks on the leaves (and gets on the patio underneath the leaves) gives good (bad) insight into what things will look like when we inevitably get the spotted lantern fly invasion.

Sun poking out here.

Let’s do this!

Beautiful day

From your lips to God’s ear!

Topped out at 79. Currently 78, mostly sunny, and 2 strawberry jalapeño margaritas deep on the deck.

Yes, 100% agree on that first round matchup. Malkin’s suspension is over so he’s back in the lineup today. I’m going to tomorrow night’s game. Early apologies
