Canes Strike Back

In dominating fashion the Carolina Hurricanes win game two of their second round series with the Boston Bruins 3-0.

Carolina scored twice in the second period once on a short handed goal to seal the deal. The Canes tried their best to score with less than a second to play in the second period but after an eight minute delay the ruling was no goal. TV had several angles on the shot by Chad Larose and depending which replay each told a story that the play could have gone either way. Live action the refs had ruled no goal while on the ice and there was not enough evidence to over rule it.

Carolina got an empty netter late in the game to square the series at 1-1. Game three is Wednesday in Raleigh.

High school tennis is confusing once the playoffs roll around because there is a team event and then on another day there is an individual event. The eastern regionals are Friday at Barton.

Big week of high school baseball this week for the co-leaders Northern Nash and Rocky Mount. Both are home on Tuesday and finish on the road Thursday. If each wins both games there will be a playoff game but that is still a long iffy chance.

Tiger Woods has been back on tour now for about two months. He like all golfers as they hit the mid-30's and have children at home seem other priorities take over their life. In no way am I saying Tiger is done because he was all over the course and still finished three back today.

Tiger has always been a long driver but you never knew where it was going. He could always count on his putter to same him on anything twelve feet or less. Tiger is showing signs that the holes are getting smaller for him because he didn't make anything today. In fact after shooting a 65 on Thursday he managed only two under for the final three days.

I am sure he will win a Major or two but Jack Nicklaus's 18 majors is still a long ways away.

This weekend our church Sunset Avenue Baptist is hosting a children's rally at our church on Saturday featuring Jeff Slaughter. You may never have heard the name but Slaughter writes all the music for Vacation bible schools for Lifeway.

My wife Pat is our children's leader at Sunset so she is spearheading the Jeff Slaughter visit. We are picking him up at RDU Friday Morning and will be his driver for the weekend. We may carry him to the State-Carolina Baseball game or to the American Jubilee in Selma Saturday. His choice.
