HI Chad/all. Finally getting an internet connection, via my in law's place in Pennsylvania (where we'll be spending the night -- nice to see what electrical lighting looks like again).Scores around the Hockey East Playoffs tonight....

Just checking in to say, "Go Wildcats!!"
The game isn't over yet... UVM is much better than their 8th seed in this tournament...
And I can't believe I am defending Umile...

It is serious treemageddon around here -- still more roads blocked than not 30 hours after the height of the storm hit.
We are talking serious old timber here -- 100 and 150 year old trees, many of them snapped, others just uprooted. One poor guy on our road has four huge old trees across his drive, with his two cars on the wrong side and trapped in (though unharmed).
Enough of all that -- let's go win this thing!

Powerplay goal for Maine... How novel!!!
I'm bettin' it's Wed or Thurs before we see power at the home, and it's not a high priority given the scores of other somewhat easier ones they'll need to addess. You should see the size of the four trees that clobbered the lines on (and blocked) our old 1 and a 1/2 lane road. We are talking some serious power saw work.Hey, Richard! Glad you guys are safe!! Hope all gets cleaned up soon and back to normal!!![]()

But as you said -- key thing is that everyone's safe and sound...
Thanks for the game description -- I got online late, as you can tell. Nailbiter I don't need!Richard, more reasons to live within the city and stay away from that country living!!! DC mostly spared from this storm, a couple of rainy days but no wind or problems of that nature!!! Tense game so far, UNH with a couple of great chances on net, we just need some puck luck!!!
