Here we are well into the month of May and the NHL conference finals are getting underway. Florida Panthers, a true hotbed of hockey action, and the Carolina Hurricanes played a 4 overtime marathon the other night. Florida won the game with a last-second goal. Literally a last-second goal. There were 12 seconds left in the 4th overtime. I'd bailed on the game before the first overtime. So now the subtropical hockey teams (Florida and Carolina) are at it again and with about 4 minutes played in the second game, there have been any number of shots on goal replete with penalties assessed and hockey guys hurt. That's hockey. Anyway, the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs have featured not one of the original hockey teams and certainly not any cold-weather teams. You see Florida, North Carolina, Dallas, and Las Vegas and not by any means cold-weather spots so hockey is a bit of a stretch for anyone's imagination as to the why and what is up with that motifs. Oh hell, this isn't about hockey anymore. Nope. This is about money and lots of money that can afford to refrigerate hockey ice during that long really long NHL hockey season. The actual Stanley Cup Final will be played sometime in June and be finished probably sometime after July 4, 2023. Now for a more timely and ready-to-play Sunday machine art installment.

speaking about money and professional sports, the Oakland Athletics baseball team will be moving to Las Vegas and with that move will come a brand-new and sparkly baseball stadium. back in the day, baseball was played on a ball diamond. anyway, the Athletics will have their new digs built upon the hallowed grounds of a soon-to-be demolished Tropicana Hotel and Casino. so much for history. 😏
