May days Updated x2!

Update: added Kroger (Heights) for Mother's Day
Update: added Muir Gallery for the 21st.
Hey peeps! My first caladium has begun to poke through the dirt, and I'm very excited!
I planted the bulbs in so many containers and baskets, and if they all show up, my patio will be the envy of the entire west side of Houston.
(or not)
As usual, this will probably change, but in the meantime....

Oh, sad sadness...

It's all over..jpeg
Flyers 2 Rangers 1 OT/SO

guh.
The Blueshirts scored early on a goal by Jody Shelley, and despite being outshot by a huge (47-25!) margin, King Henrik Lundqvist seemed poised to steal a victory for the boys. But a 3rd period Flyers goal tied the score. Overtime solved nothing, and so the entire season was decided by the shootout. Olli Jokinen was unable to extend the game on his try against Boucher:
How it ended....jpg
The Rangers started the season 7-1, ended the season on a 7-1-2 run, but in between were 24-31-9. In other words, not good.
And that, Ranger fans, is that. Wait'll next year. Again.
*sigh*

the boys are halfway to a playoff berth!


Rangers 4 Flyers 3
YAY!

Boys came through in a dramatic win at home, thanks to the King:
King Henrik comes up with the glove save!.jpg
The eventual winning goal was scored by Marion Gaborik, but how about some music for Jody Shelley (top photo) who scored his 1st NHL goal: NY Rangers Goal Celebration Song
No Rangers/Flyers game would be complete without a bit of this:
Plenty of fight left in the NYR!.jpg
If the Rangers win tomorrow in Philly, they make the playoffs, it's as simple as that...

Did I give up too soon?!

Vinny!.jpeg
Rangers 5 Maple Leafs 1
YAY!

I kinda gave up on my boys after the post Olympic letdown, didn't I...? *is ashamed*
Well, lo and behold, after yet another losing streak, they somehow managed to find a way to go on a winning tear, piling up wins and climbing back into the playoff chase over their last 9 games.
Christensen nets 2!.jpg
Erik Christensen scored a couple and had an assist on the Vinny (see above) Prospal goal, so let's play some music: NY Rangers Goal Celebration Song
The regular season ends with a home and home with the Flyers, starting tonight at MSG. If they win BOTH they're in...
