Florida Panthers and LA Kings both in the playoffs, Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Flyers and Anaheim Ducks are all eliminated.

Twisted Sister - I Want to Rock

NFL is again in talks about extending the season to 18 games. This has been going on for many years, long before they went to 17, and while it is inevitable that the league will go to the 18-game season, the question is when. The answer could be 2027. With the current agreement there is no chance it would happen before 2027, so the 17-game season will remain for at least the next two years. Also, a possibility of expanding the playoffs to eight teams per conference and pushing the Super Bowl to President's Day weekend could come with the extended season. An 18-game season would be good for the owners and the networks because it would equal more money. The concern though is for the health of the players. A longer season will mean more injuries. One option to manage this could be adding a second bye week, something the league will consider.

Del Shannon - Runaway

I've cut out the caffeine for the last few days and the problems have gone away so at least for now I feel back to normal.

The tush push change was first proposed by the Packers organization, claiming that it is a risk to player safety. Sounds like a fair argument, but I think that their motivation is based more on how well the Eagles have perfected the play than concerns about safety. I have a feeling that if the Packers had perfected the play and were coming off a Super Bowl victory where that play call was a significant advantage for them, they would not be making such a proposal.

Blues extend their win streak to 11 and it has overshadowed how well the Dallas Stars are playing, they have won now seven in a row and their 104 points is third best in the league. The Kings have also been hot, winning three in a row, and only three points back of Vegas for the Pacific division. LA has the best home record in the league and they have a home friendly schedule the rest of the way. They could make a run at the Pacific title. Three hot teams in the west as the playoffs are only two weeks away. Also, Colorado has clinched a playoff spot, making seven of the 16 and four of the eight in the west.

Black Sabbath - War Pigs

Another game another OT loss for the Wild. Picking up the standings point is nice, getting up to 89 ties them with the Blues and gives them a seven-point lead over the chasing Calgary Flames. Ovechkin scores again, the only goal for the Capitals in a 5-1 loss in Carolina. As well as the Capitals have played this year, and as well as Logan Thompson has played this season, they have struggled with giving up goals in recent games. A slumping goaltender and defense are not a great sign going into the playoffs. Could be a concern. The win clinches a spot for the Hurricanes. Maples Leafs have also locked up a playoff berth. Six teams now officially in the playoffs, three in each conference. Two more games tonight, Canuks vs Kraken and Blackhawks vs Avalanche.

Don Henley - Boys of Summer

I am seeing more of those old school arcade games being sold to people. You can buy the full arcade version and put it in your home. It would be cool to do if I had the space and extra cash for it.

I liked Sub Zero also, but my favorite was always Scorpion. I don't know if the two are connected, but a famous boxer once said, "Flow like a butterfly sting like a scorpion." To be honest, I kind of remember being frustrated at the popularity of MK because I loved Street Fighter so much and was a bigger fan of that, but when MK came out all my friends made the switch to MK. I still love Street Fighter 2. Oss!

Thanks. I actually had a blood test done about six weeks ago and everything was normal.
