- Monday, 5/18: Hockey
- We experienced rain in the morning that quit in the late morning hours. We were cloudy in the afternoon. A severe thunderstorm roared through right when we went to bed, giving us wind and heavy rain.
- There was a wet baby robin in the middle of the lane next to the Sargent crabapple tree. It sat in the same spot all day. I used a leash on Cooper to keep him away from the bird. The baby robin was moving around in the late afternoon with an adult robin chirping from a nearby tree, so the baby bird's parents are feeding it. We didn't see it after dark.
- I watched Game 7 of the Montreal Canadiens/Buffalo Sabres NHL series. Montreal won in overtime, 3-2, advancing to the third round of the playoffs. Buffalo dominated in the second and third periods, but Montreal's goalie, Jakub Dobeš, kept the Canadiens in the game. The overtime goal was by the same guy, Alex Newhook, who scored the Game 7 winning goal in the earlier series, featuring Montreal against Tampa Bay. Bill texted me that Dobeš played high school hockey in St. Louis. I looked it up and Dobeš is Czech and moved to St. Louis at age 16 and lived with a family friend while attending De Smet Jesuit High School and playing for the St. Louis AAA Blues youth team. The family friend was Ľuboš Bartečko, a former St. Louis Blues forward. It's interesting how St. Louis is becoming more and more of a hockey magnet of former NHL players who help to develop new talent.
