Oh yeah, so they are. My bad. Like you pointed out, Brian, center and the right/left guards make up the iOL. Boy I was way in left field on that comment of mine. Sorry for that. Just scratch that off while I place a large bag over my head. Oh, sorry. It's OK, nobody is perfect. I know I am not.

Seemed that way to me also.

Metallica - To Live is to Die

The Golden Knights run for a repeat came to an end on Sunday in Dallas, Stars take it 2-1. After losing in six games to Vegas last year, Dallas bounces back and wins this time. They will play Colorado next starting on Tuesday night. Game 1 will be in Dallas. The NYR won the opening game against Carolona to take the early series lead, making the Rangers the first team to win a round 2 game this year. Boston and Florida play game one on Monday.

Boston survives and move on after a 2-1 overtime win against Toronto in game 7. Another disappointing ending to the season for the Leafs, who last year got out of the first round for the first time since 2004. Another game 7 on Sunday Vegas @ Dallas. Also game one between Carolina and the NY Rangers. Boston and Florida will play game one on Monday.

Enjoying an old Art Bell interview with George Carlin from back in the 90s. Over an hour long radio interview, pretty interesting,

I've had plenty of this when sparring.

Seattle has fired head coach Dave Hakstol after the team failed to return to the playoffs.

So he is playing the villain? If he gets people to hate him, they will watch just to see him lose. That is the same thing Colby Covington does to sell fights. Yes!! I believe his net worth of $300M attests for the fact that he's so darn popular as the MMA bad boy. Perhaps the real reason why McGregor is so popular is that people want to see what he'll say/do next. *music* bad boys bad boys what ya gonna do? What ya gonna do when they come for you? Connor McGregor answers: "Become super famous and get 300 million dollars." What a world!

Florida defeated Tampa Bay in game five and has advanced. Dallas won game four to tie the series with Vegas, a series where the road time has won all four games.

Steel Panther - Girl from Oklahoma

UFC 303 is two months from the day of this posting, and tickets went on sale over the weekend. If you want floor seats it will cost you up to 14k per seat. I've seen Super Bowl tickets that were cheaper, and this is not even a title fight. CRAZY. If you just want to be there and are willing to sit in the upper deck all you need is about 1,700 dollars, not including fees and taxes. So if you have an extra couple grand sitting around and don't mind the nose bleeds, you can attend this event at the "bargain prices." Personally, I would never spend that much to attend a sporting event, but there are enough people who will so the prices keep up with the demand. Also, I don't understand the obsession with Connor McGregor. Why is he so popular? Because he is a loudmouth trash talker? I am newer to the UFC so maybe I missed it?

The performance by Ovechkin in the Rangers series was pathetic. No effort, no points, and only five shots in four games. He was a team liability. It is shameful that the Capitals are keeping him around to chase a goals record instead of trying to win. Washington did not even deserve to be in the playoffs. That was embarrassing.

NY Islanders and Tampa keep their season alive with wins, Colorado takes a 3-1 series lead over Winnipeg, Vancouver does the same against Nashville. The NY Rangers advance after sweeping Washington.

Ranger win, go up 3-0. Oilers, Avs, and Canucks all win and lead 2-1. Carolina and Florida have a chance to advance on Saturday while Boston and Vegas have a chance to take a big lead in their series.

Scores from April 25: Florida 5 Tampa Bay 2 Carolina 3 NY Islanders 2 Both winners now have a commanding 3-0 series lead. Four game threes on Friday: NY Rangers at Washington Vancouver @ Nashville Winnipeg @ Colorado Edmomton @ LA Kings

Draft going about as expected so far. First four picks are 1. Caleb Williams 2. Jayden Daniels 3. Drake Maye 4. Marvin Harrison, Jr.

I saw that the Scorpions are doing a 40 year anniversary tour of their album "Love at First Sting." I have been a fan of them since I was a teenager but then I saw that the opening act for some of the shows is Ugly Kid Joe. I used to love Ugly Kid Joe back in the 90s. I put on some of their music and found this song that I have not heard in almost 30 years! Ugly Kid Joe - Milkman's Son

Impressive first two games for Vegas. Some great goaltending tonight from both teams. Other winners' tonight were Boston (leading the series 2-1) and the LA Kings (series tied at 1-1) who got the OT win against Edmonton. Two games on the schedule for Thursday. Florida @ Tampa Bay and Caolina @ NY Islanders. Both Florida and Carolina lead 2-0.
