It's only the start of these 2023-24 N.H.L. playoffs.  Need, and have to take the games one at a time.  In Boston, after Toronto, lost the first game 5-1, they won the second game 3-2 to tie the series 1-1.  Now, they go to Toronto, for two games.

Treeduck (Pat), Accountant, and anyone else, who are interested in this.  If I was to put together a twenty-twenty-five Judas Priest's setlist, after some thought, I would have these songs.  For a complete to it, I included three more, extra encores.  From "Jugulator", and "Demolition", I didn't have any songs because Rob Halford wasn't the lead singer on them.  I'll do an Iron Maiden one next, too.

Run of the Mill

Victim of Changes

Killing Machine/Hell Bent For Leather

Living After Midnight

During this 2023-24 N.H.L. Regular Season, Auston Matthews, finished with sixty-nine goals in eighty-two games as he wasn't able to score seventy.  In one Eastern Conference Playoff First Round match up, Toronto, has, and gets to play Boston.  I wanted to see Pittsburgh make, and qualify for the playoffs.  I thought it would've been them, and not Washington.

"Happy 59th Birthday, Blackhawk (Robert)".  I hope you had an enjoyable, and a joyful, and wonderful day.

If I had a playlist for long distance driving, and didn't have any Night Ranger's songs on it, but I would like four of them, which even though I like "Sister Christian", I wouldn't include that, they would be:

 

Rumours In the Air

Goodbye

Sing Me Away

Hearts Away

 

Talk about another band, and group.  John, if you haven't listened, or haven't listened to Survivor too much before, for on a playlist, I recommend two of their studio c.ds, and albums called "Vital Signs", and "When Seconds Count".  I think they are similar to Night Ranger.  Accountant, it looks, and sounds like Night Ranger's song you were thinking of, which was released in 2011, is called "Growin' Up In California", and not "Born In California".

In naming some bands, groups, and artists, who have "Esoteric", chemistry, and alchemy powers in the studio, and performing live, to me, they stand out, can be, and are

 

Rush

U2

Coldplay

Genesis

Yes

Led Zeppelin

Pink Floyd

Judas Priest

Iron Maiden

Ozzy Osbourne

Dio

I've never followed hockey, so I don't know the history.  Do you foresee a day in which fights are no more, or will they always happen?

To me, I haven't liked fighting, and didn't believe it was necessary in any hockey games, and leagues.  If, and when there are any types of stick incidents, and infractions no matter being accidental, or not, and a choice between those, and fights, I would pick fights because sticks can do more damage to people, and individuals.  If sticks were kept down, and no incidents, and infractions involving them, then there likely wouldn't have been any fights, or as many of them occurring, and happening.  The N.H.L. has been working in trying to limit, or not have them part of the games.  

Toronto, has five home games, and four road games.  Tonight, in Toronto, to play against Florida, which Toronto, won 6-4, Wed., to play against Tampa Bay, which Toronto, lost 4-1, Sat., in Montreal, to play against Montreal, which Toronto, won 4-2, next Mon., in Toronto, to play against Pittsburgh, which Toronto, won 3-2 in overtime, next Tues., in New Jersey, and back-to-back to play against New Jersey, which Toronto, won 5-2, next Thurs., in Toronto, to play against New Jersey, which Toronto, lost 6-5, next Sat., to play against Detroit, which Toronto, lost 5-4 in overtime, and the following Tues., and Wed., back-to-back Florida road trip in Florida, to play against Florida, which Toronto, lost 5-2, and in Tampa Bay, to play against Tampa Bay, which Toronto, lost 6-4.  At home, they finished 22-15-4.  On the road, they finished 24-11-6.  Overall, 46-26-10.   

"Happy 52nd Birthday, Leanne".  I hope you have, and had a beautiful day.  You are welcome.

I know no-one on here will want to hear this, but Saxon blasted Judas Priest off the stage in Leeds.

If that is the case, and I'm not saying, nor will I admit to anything like that because I wouldn't think that, maybe, with Saxon, on the same bill as Judas Priest, they are, or were trying to perform at the same level as them.  It does seem like a logical reason, and explanation.

Watching the Maple Leafs', and Kraken's game.  It's Women In Hockey night in Seattle, too!  Apparently sponsored by Jack Daniel's, if the boards are to be believed.  

 

Goose (Allen), From Fri. night, in one of the four N.H.L. games, the Toronto Maple Leafs, weren't scheduled to play Seattle Kraken, in Seattle.  It was the Winnipeg Jets.  Winnipeg, won 3-0.

I'm from Toronto, ON., and moved around a few times outside of Toronto, but mostly lived in Brampton, and Bramalea.  From there, I moved to Gloucester, in Ottawa, ON., then to Abbotsford, B.C., on, and in the lower mainland, and moved to Comox, where I've been currently living, now, on Vancouver Island.  From Toronto, ON. to Comox, where I'm currently living is, 4,559.6 kilometres, but converting it to miles is 2,833.2, so rounding it to 3,000 is closer, than 2,500. 

"Happy 57th Birthday, Treeduck (Pat)".  I hope you did have a great day.  You're welcome.

This might be early to say because the concert isn't until July, but last week, for presale, V.I.P., and public tickets went on sale.  Madonna, is going on tour for promoting her 40th+ Anniversary called "the Celebration Tour", and in Vancouver, there is one, which is the first stop.  I've been seeing if tickets would sell out, and prices get cheaper.  I haven't seen her perform in person before.  On the Canadian Ticketmaster website, for a cheaper price, than what a lot of them have been, I bought a verified resale one.  It's a good seat, and not anywhere on the floors.  With Madonna developing a "serious bacterial infection", her 40th+ Anniversary "the Celebration Tour" July date in Vancouver, and the initial North American leg had, and needed to be postponed, and rescheduled.  Now, the Vancouver date is for Feb. 21, 2024.

 

I wanted to say that I did go to the rescheduled "Madonna - 40th+ Anniversary: the Celebration Tour" in Vancouver on Feb. 21.  I thought she, and the concert were phenomenal, exceptional, and spectacular.  I recommend anyone else not having trying to miss it. 

Here is a six, and over six mins. song's list thread, which was finished, and not having a last song standing poll.  Goose (Allen), it's what you did.  Would you want, and able to take it on?

Toronto's next eight games are a five game home stand, and a three game road trip.  Tonight, they are in Toronto, to play against Vegas, which Toronto, lost 6-2, Thurs., to play against Arizona, which Toronto, won 4-2, Sat., to play against New York Rangers, which Toronto, won 4-3 in a shootout.  The 2023-24 N.H.L. season is three-quarters in it.  Next Mon., Toronto, plays Boston, which Toronto, lost 4-1, next Wed., to play against Buffalo, which Toronto, won 2-1 in overtime, next Thurs., in Boston, to play against Boston, which Toronto, lost 4-1, next Sat., in Montreal, to play against Montreal, which Toronto, won 3-2, and on the following Thurs., in Philadelphia, to play against Philadelphia, which Toronto, won 6-2.  At home, they are 18-12-2.  On the road, they are 20-7-6.  Auston Matthews, scored three goals to give him fifty-five in sixty-five games.

Toronto, has a three game home stand, and a four game road trip.  Tonight, they are in Toronto, to play against St. Louis, which Toronto, won 4-1, Thurs., to play against Philadelphia, which Toronto, won 4-3 in overtime, Sat., to play against Anaheim, which Toronto, won 9-2, next Mon. afternoon, in St. Louis, to play against St. Louis, which Toronto, won 4-2, next Wed., in Arizona, to play against Arizona, which Toronto, won 6-3, next Thurs., in Las Vegas, to play against Vegas, which Toronto, won 7-3, and next Sat., in Colorado, to play against Colorado, which Toronto, won 4-3.  At home, they are 15-10-2.  On the road, they are 18-6-6.  Auston Matthews, scored ten goals to give him fifty-two in fifty-seven games.

The All-Star weekend was a success.  At the All-Star Skills Competition, and All-Star Game, Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, William Nylander, and Morgan Rielly, did really well, especially Auston Matthews, and William Nylander, when they came in third, and fourth place in the Skills Competion, and Auston Matthews' team won the All-Star Game.  Without being, and sounding biased to only saying by including Toronto Maple Leafs' players, the other players, who were selected to be there did a good job, and tried their best, too.  This week Toronto, has a two game home stand, and a road game.  Tonight, they are in Toronto, to play against New York Islanders, which Toronto, lost 3-2, Wed., they are in Toronto, to play against Dallas, which Toronto, won 5-4, and Sat., in Ottawa, to play against Ottawa, which Toronto, lost 5-3.  Auston Matthews, scored two goals to give him forty-two in fifty games.
