The snow we had from last weekend is almost

gone. Still lots of snow patches and puddles of melted snow in low lying areas remain as ground conditions dry out. We're getting some +12's and 14's out there but a bit of a cool down is expected next week. Still, not to bad.

Last night at Rexall was Oiler fan appreciation night: Dallas Stars we're in town. Eberle got the only goal for the first 2 periods. Then the flood gates opened up. 2-0, and in a penalty shot the new guy Andrew Miller got his first goal on a penalty shot 3-0. Then it was 4-0 Oiler's. Not only that but the goal tender Bachman got his first win as an Oiler and a shut out to boot against the team (Dallas) that traded him to Edmonton. Sweet. If the Oilers get McDavid great, if not, meh. Anyone of the top 6 in the draft lottery this year are solid prospects. Dylan Strome is tearing it up in the minors and so is Jack Eichel etc. We also get a 1st round pick from the Perron Pittsburgh trade from the Pens. The off season looks good as well. 

More information is coming forward about co-pilot Andreas Lubitz that brought down flight 4U9525 Tuesday morning. Officials said the plane had been last checked by technicians on Monday and weather conditions were reportedly good at the time of the crash. Apparently Lubitz was suffering from mental illness and was told he was unfit to fly but he disobeyed doctors orders. It seems Lubitz was medically cleared anyway. The passengers were disintegrated. There were no bodies to recover. Very sad.

Not much going on for today. On the agenda is work on my track, reading and hockey sometime tonight. Its a quiet weekend even though Wrestlemania 31 is on my mind, unfortunately its not in the cards due to financial reasons. I can always get the highlights. Anyway, that's all for now.
