3:53 pm

Yes we do our best under pressure. Even if we dont win the cup I am proud of their playoff games. Super team. I suppose you saw the backward shot for a goal with 3.38 seconds left as the Panthers were looking for overtime. Never saw a shot like that in all my years. A birthday present for me as today is mine. Yes Poo

NANCY

Pointer is one of my favorites but I think with all these days of rest, he will reemerge for the next round/

3:55 pm

moolingwa

oh, happy birthday!

3:56 pm

NANCY

could have done without an almost 500 word grid however.

3:56 pm

moolingwa

Well with some luck, the Rangers will meet the Bolts next round...not that I expect them to get past the Canes, but this Rangers team is odd, in that it finds ways to win even when it looks beaten

3:56 pm

moolingwa

yeah, not really well rested enough to do this one

3:57 pm

NANCY

I would be happy for you. good luck and I will be keeping tabs on your game as well.

3:58 pm

moolingwa

Game 4 tonight at MSG...hopefully can keep it going

3:58 pm

moolingwa

Either way, I think Tampa would be favorites in the next round

3:59 pm

moolingwa

Carolina lack finishing, though they can roll 4 lines...they do have an aggressive forecheck and a great PK, but their top offensive guys aren't playing well yet

3:59 pm

NANCY

they changed their plans of attack, blocking the lanes and it worked, keeping the panthers high scorers from so

4:00 pm

NANCY

scoring. sorry about the poor typing.

4:00 pm

moolingwa

Yeah, the Rangers did pretty well against Florida this year, I think they were too one-dimensional

4:02 pm

NANCY

Amazing the panthers only managed three goals in four games. Of course we have Vasy the best goalie of all. Super human he is.

4:02 pm

moolingwa

Rangers are pretty young, and they have some fundamental flaws...they're not a good puck possession team, though they can score in bunches...just not always predictable

4:03 pm

moolingwa

The defensive side (despite finishing second in the league in GAA) is more because of Shesterkin than because the defensive posture of the team is good

4:03 pm

NANCY

Vast stopped 49 shots last night, a new record.

4:04 pm

moolingwa

yeah, that was pretty insane

4:04 pm

NANCY

Vasy I mean

4:04 pm

moolingwa

Not sure if you watched any of the Game 7 between Calgary and Dallas, but Oettinger was crazy good in that one

4:05 pm

moolingwa

Shesterkin faced 83 shots in Game 1 of the first round...stopped 79

4:06 pm

moolingwa

He's allowed 4 goals in three games against Carolina, and we're still trailing 2-1

4:08 pm

NANCY

maybe i mis heard the announcer last night about record goal stops. thank you for the birthday wishes.

4:10 pm

moolingwa

I suspect it might be one of the following:

Most stops in a series clinching game
Most stops in a playoff shutout (though who knows on that one)

4:10 pm

NANCY

Will check it out.

4:10 pm

moolingwa

they get very specific with records now-a-days

4:21 pm

4:37 pm

joym999

there's an MI6?

4:38 pm

joym999

found it

4:44 pm

rururocks

would you mind cluing it joy? I don't see it

4:44 pm

rururocks

then I just found it never mind

4:57 pm

joym999

another school shooting in Texas today. 14 elementary school children dead. I don't understand why people can't agree to some reasonable restrictions on guns. Those poor families.

4:59 pm

Uneaixoise

And they're saying the shooter killed his grandmother before heading to the school :-(

5:00 pm

joym999

so awful...

5:00 pm

Uneaixoise

Heartbreaking....

5:02 pm

bichon

Sounds like what happened in Sandy Hook 10 years ago

5:28 pm

joym999

it's very similar to Sandy Hook, and the worst school shooting since

5:31 pm

rururocks

this grid just never ends ugh

5:31 pm

emusing

breaking out of my lurkdom status: my daughter recently moved to Brussels with her five year old son--the US gun culture was one of the reasons. What will it take to have reasonable gun laws?

5:32 pm

joym999

where in the U.S. was she living, emusing?

5:33 pm

joym999

and you're right ruru, I've still got more than 100 words to go!

5:33 pm

emusing

Joy, she was living in central PA.

5:37 pm

joym999

Oh, yeh, rural PA is bad. When I lived in Philly the city council try to ban automatic weapons in the city, but the state legislature overturned it because it would "inconvenience hunters who might be passing through the city."

5:38 pm

emusing

Yeah...her son (my apple of my eye) is getting a lot more culture in Brussels than he could ever get in central PA.

5:39 pm

joym999

I'm sure, but sad that they're far away.

5:40 pm

emusing

I wasn't thrilled she moved but I understood her reasoning and we are in almost daily touch, via email/text/video chat...we'll be seeing them this summer.

8:15 pm

I have played the bee some. just at great tthough

8:16 pm

hokie carla

I got the pangram first thing. the other day I couldn't find the pangram and still made genius.

8:17 pm

penquis

8:20 pm

BzznBea

Jacula

Back for my final word, L12, after spending 8 hours pushing through nerve damage to my shoulder trying to finish off crocheting the background for my Platinum Jubilee project to be put on display this weekend. *Dives into depths of grid.*

8:32 pm

joym999

I need a drink.

8:33 pm

ChampFit

You can do it, jacula. You'll monkey it quickly.

8:33 pm

Gillie

The L12 is kind of ridiculous

8:33 pm

ChampFit

Com;pletly agree!

8:34 pm

Jacula

Got it! Had to use morewords, but it's done. FIREWORKS!*~*~*~*

8:35 pm

Jacula

Still not sure if I'll finish my woolly Jubilee display background in time, but at least I've finished Babble. lol

8:35 pm

ChampFit

Congrats!

8:36 pm

Jacula

Thanks. Does anyone need any clues since I'm all done now?

8:39 pm

Uneaixoise

Done? Wow!!

8:39 pm

Jacula

Hi Une.x

8:39 pm

penquis

congrats....wo 6/30?

8:40 pm

ChampFit

Extend the 4/8

8:40 pm

penquis

that is the 6 after the 7?

8:41 pm

ChampFit

the one before

8:41 pm

penquis

yes, but is that a clue for the wo 6 that comes after the wo 7?

8:41 pm

Jacula

penquis - wo6/30 - rather silly word really. Think of someone who came first, then substitute the vowel you think if should be for the vowel that comes after it.

8:42 pm

ChampFit

I have a wo 6/30 and it's before the 7.

8:42 pm

Jacula

*it should be, I meant.

8:42 pm

penquis

my wo 6 is after the wo 7....

8:43 pm

Jacula

penquis - I've clued for the only wo6.30.

8:43 pm

penquis

jacula...i am not sure i understand your clue....

8:43 pm

hokie carla

oh, I have that one, it is after a 4 and before a 5 on my list. but I still need 3.

8:43 pm

hokie carla

no, there's another, like socks, jacula.

8:43 pm

hokie carla

rhymes with one of santa's reindeer (maybe), pen

8:44 pm

ChampFit

There are 2. The first one is like the person who comes in first in a race, change the first vowel.

8:44 pm

Jacula

Oh yes, hokie carla, the wrong spelling of something made of sheep fleece.

8:45 pm

Gillie

And there are actually 4 wo7

8:45 pm

penquis

oh...ty champ...that did it...i am done...and thanks jacula and carla, too....

8:45 pm

hokie carla

how is that wrong? that's the only way I've seen the sheep one

8:45 pm

ChampFit

Fantastic! Great!

8:45 pm

Jacula

Good clue re the reindeer name, Holie Carla, Better than mine.

8:45 pm

hokie carla

well done, pen

8:45 pm

penquis

yes, gillie...four wo 7 and one wo 8....

8:45 pm

hokie carla

only 155 to go here

8:46 pm

hokie carla

yes, I haven't actually found a word since this morning, but I haven't actually looked.

8:46 pm

penquis

i listed very early today...had to go to a school budget voting meeting and didn't get back until 8...

8:46 pm

Jacula

British spelling of the word, hokie carla. I am British.

8:47 pm

hokie carla

can you just tell me the british spelling? that doesn't even show in the def.

8:47 pm

Jacula

Well done penquis!

8:47 pm

penquis

ty...

8:47 pm

hokie carla

congrats, pen

8:47 pm

penquis

ty...

8:48 pm

Jacula

hokie carla - the British spelling has 2 'l's in it.

8:48 pm

hokie carla

I understand you are british but I don't even know how you would make woolen british. yeah, I said it, put me in the penalty box. it's late in the evening.

8:49 pm

hokie carla

ah, I knew it would be an extra letter somewhere but that didn't occur to me.

8:50 pm

hokie carla

ok, I guess I should work on the middle row since I need 19 + 19 there.

8:51 pm

Jacula

lol, hokie carla. I do kind of know why US spelling differs from British spelling and why Canadian spelling is a bit of a mixture, but won't say for fear of offending anyone in this world that currently trys to deny historical facts. x

8:52 pm

hokie carla

I listened to a podcast about it in the last year

8:52 pm

hokie carla

but question, do you all really say "trys" instead of "tries"?

8:53 pm

Jacula

And there's me getting all hoity-toity re proper spelling and then I type 'trys' instead of 'tries'. Mind you, I am tired. lol

8:53 pm

hokie carla

feels like it's the middle of the night for you

8:54 pm

Jacula

I typed when I realised my mistake at the same time as you were asking about it. lol

8:54 pm

Jacula

It's 2.54am here, so yes, it is night time.

8:54 pm

hokie carla

well, this game does accept "drys" so who knows

8:55 pm

ChampFit

Truth!

8:56 pm

Jacula

True, hokie carla. All kinds of weird spellings are accepted on here, or seem to be. But, often, when you look them up, there is a reason for them, or they don't mean what you think they do.

8:56 pm

ChampFit

Why doesn't it take "spooner"? But it takes stupid variations. So dumb.

8:56 pm

hokie carla

I certainly tried spooner

8:57 pm

penquis

or they are not in the dictionary at all... ;o)

8:57 pm

Jacula

Champfit - I wondered that earlier.

8:59 pm

penquis

well i am heading out...goodnight all....

8:59 pm

ChampFit

'night pen

8:59 pm

hokie carla

good night pen. have found 10 words now so only 145 left. ðŸ¤£

8:59 pm

penquis

heh heh....bye....

8:59 pm

Jacula

Just because things aren't in on-line dictionaries, it doesn't mean that they are not real words somewhere in the world. Root dictionaries often show where words originated from. Having studied languages often helps with that.

9:01 pm

Jacula

'Night penquis. Dormez bien!

9:01 pm

Jacula

Anyone need clues now for the rest of the grid?

9:03 pm

ChampFit

I'll muddle along. Down to 14. Congrats!

9:06 pm

Jacula

Okay ChampFit. Good hunting. I'll wander off to get some sleep now so I can crochet for another 8 hours later. D'you think if I emailed Buck House and asked them to give me a few more days to finish my Platinum Jubilee tribute that they would move the celebration weekend a week on? No, thought not! ROFLOL *Weeps*

9:13 pm

ChampFit

You got this, my friend! Wishing you all the best!

9:18 pm

ChampFit

Done, thank goodness! What a slog. Good luck to you all!
