Roenick is loving it at the Garden. He was having a blast after Game 3, and that was with the crowd being pretty depressed. :D

Well I was hoping it would go out with a bang, but the bar I go to is closing down after Thursday. Going to reopen in a few months as a Gastropub...eh. It's a sad day all around. Some of the staff might stay, it's a three month renovation, but it won't be the same.

I'm moving to the south bay on Thursday, too. Lot of change to work through.

Hey I used to live just north in Marina Del Rey, right at Lincoln and Washington. It's a solid area, the 90 right there is like having a traffic hack. Plus you are ultra close to Venice Beach if you're into that scene (I wasn't)

There are some solid bars around Washington there. I lived right next door to Brennan's, which is just ok. They have turtle races so hey, that's a thing. I seem to remember a place called The Whaler or something that was good, too. The restaurants lining Admiralty are all top notch, or at least they were in 2009-2011. Definitely go to Shutters at the Beach up Main Street, and the Omelet Parlor for breakfast.

That's not the South Bay, though!

Lundqvist: "We didn't want to see the Cup coming out on our home ice. Just the thought of it makes me sick."

Mats Zuccarello: "We probably play our worst game of the series and we win."

Dan Girardi: "I've never beern so happy to have a long flight and a time change."

By the way, I'm looking at the replays of the Stepan play in the crease, and I don't know what you guys are talking about saying he covered the puck with his glove. He didn't. His first swipe with the open hand puts it under Hank, then the puck comes out again and, on the reverse angle, you can see that Stepan uses the back and side of his hand to slide the puck over and into Lundqvist's blocker hand, which is when the puck is finally blown dead.

Yeah it's bit off, but I've always considered that entire area south bay as I've driven through it. Honestly I'm pretty excited about the move, I'm gonna have to check out a lot of stuff in the area. Just a whole lot going on in a short period of time + I'm still splitting time in San Diego. If you have any other recommendations let me know.

Didn't think Stepan closed his glove either, for the record.

No shit, I used to live right on Marina Pointe Dr. Lol Turtle races. I also lived in Playa Del Rey briefly in "the Jungle." Miss taking my bike right out of my apartment and onto the Manhattan beach bike path.

Oh damn son, I was at The Jefferson right behind you. I loved that spot. Moved to Santa Monica afterwards for a couple years and it was a mistake. It was nice being closer to "LA proper," but it still didn't beat the Marina to me.

This net cam angle of the Stepan play is pretty cool because you can actually hear the ref behind the net explaining to the Kings players in the crease that Stepan is allowed to push the puck with the open hand. Really clear audio of it.

One of the Kings says "he can't push it!"

Ref: "Yes you can! As long as it's open. He pushed it right to him. I was right here."

You don't hear the exchanges with the refs so clearly very often on the replays.

The Jefferson was still be constructed when I lived there. It was an open pit. I actually lived in the Mirabella apartments further down hidden behind Marian Pointe apartments and the Towers. Visted my old stomping grounds a few years ago and was shocked to see the Jefferson up and running.

Yeah I don't know what you've done, but what you're about to do is go buy NSMBU, Luigi U, Monster Hunter 3U, Lego City, Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Wind Waker HD, Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, and of course Mario Kart.

That should get you started.

Oh and I guess ZombiU is ten bucks at Best Buy? You're about to go buy that, too.

Okay Smelly, I get it, you weren't a hockey fan in 94 or when Messier and Kennen were a part of this team, but this cheering on the Rags has got to stop. I know you don't want to admit it, but the Kings are the lesser evil here. Sure they're still evil, but it's an evil I can stomach.

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.

I wasn't a hockey fan in 94 indeed, so the Kings are by far the bigger evil for me. Sorry.

If you like Nintendo style games you really can't go wrong. I play it way more than I play the PS4 just because Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8, Donkey Kong, Pikmin are all hella fun.

Unfortunately severe lack of third party support.

Smash though... Zelda.

You made a wise decision.
