The weather changed quite a bit over the weekend, meaning that there was lots of wind. We took William’s pirate ship kite out for a test flight, and though the wind was too strong, the kite really wanted to fly. In fact, to get it up in the air, all I did was hold it in front of me and let it go. It was tough to get much height, because the wind just wanted to pull it out horizontally. We didn’t stay out for too long, because it was pretty chilly actually, and we hadn’t really dressed for it.

I got to watch the Habs game on Saturday night, which was good. The shot totals were a bit out of whack I think - Carolina might have outshot the Habs, but not by as big a margin as the boxscore said. The difference was in the quality of shots though - Carolina was held to the perimeter for most of the game, while the Habs managed to get some quality shots from in close. Bonk’s goal was a good example of that - he almost seemed surprised at how much open ice he was given in the slot with the puck. Not that Gerber played well, but there were some definite defensive issues on the Hurricanes’ side of things.

Game 2 goes tonight, so I’m looking forward to that. Each game in a 7 game series seems crucial, so this one is too. It’s great to get a split on the road, but it’s much better to be up 2-0.
