The young couple were pleased with their apartment in Lakeview Oregon. The rooms were small, but there was a deck connected to the bedroom. Nathan and Sarah Tate owned few things, and lived out of their trunks, and they used the trunks as furniture. Their rooms received the sun evenly. They used Sarah’s money to pay for the rooms at two hundred dollars monthly.

Crosby scores 2 to lift Penguins to 3-2 win in Game 3
PITTSBURGH (AP) -The Penguins are 0-for-The Joe but downright perfect at home.
After two shutout losses to the Red Wings in Detroit’s Joe Louis Arena, Sidney Crosby scored Pittsburgh’s first two goals of the Stanley Cup finals and carried the Penguins to a 3-2 victory Wednesday night.
The Red Wings still lead the series 2-1, with Game 4 back in Pittsburgh on Saturday night. The finals then shifts back to Detroit for a now necessary fifth game.
The Penguins improved to 9-0 at home in the playoffs and have won 17 straight there, dating to a loss to San Jose on Feb. 24. Their previous game in front of the home crowd was a 6-0 blitz in the clinching Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals against Philadelphia.

Osgood blanks Pens again; Red Wings halfway to Cup
DETROIT (AP) -If the Red Wings keep this up, the next time they perform back in Hockeytown could be along a parade route.
Producing timely offense and perfectionist defense, Detroit is not only beating the Pittsburgh Penguins, they are shutting them out.
With first-period goals from Brad Stuart and Tomas Holmstrom and another lockdown effort, the Red Wings topped the Penguins 3-0 to take a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup finals on Monday night.
If they can match this twice in Pittsburgh, the Red Wings will return to Detroit with the Cup in tow.

Penguins rout Flyers 6-0 for Stanley Cup trip
PITTSBURGH (AP) -Sid and The Kids are off to the Stanley Cup finals, thanks to a dominating run by a younger-than-young Pittsburgh Penguins team that has taken only two seasons to transform itself from one of the NHL’s worst to one of its best.
Ryan Malone, the one Penguins player with firsthand memories of the team’s two previous Stanley Cup appearances, scored twice and set up a third goal and Pittsburgh routed Philadelphia 6-0 Sunday to win the Eastern Conference finals.
The Penguins, dominating Game 5 from the start with Malone and Evgeni Malkin scoring in the first 10 minutes, will play the winner of the Detroit-Dallas series for the Stanley Cup. The Red Wings take a 3-2 series lead into Dallas for Game 6 of the Western Conference finals Monday night.
“It’s unbelievable just to realize we’re four wins away,” defenseman Ryan Whitney said. “It hasn’t really sunk in yet that these next few games are the Stanley Cup finals.”

I think I want to write a novel, or at least a really long short story. I dug through my memory box, and found many elements for a good story. Wish me luck.
update:
Frére,
I joined an informal writing group, a salon, so to speak. We shall see what becomes of it. Each person is supposed to have twenty pages buy June, then we trade them all up, and give the critiques. We shall see. I will send along to you anything any good, if you say you are interested. I think I want to write that novel.

Flyers stay alive, force Game 5 back in Pittsburgh
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -A fast start by the Philadelphia Flyers gave way to a very nervous ending.
When it was over, they were still alive and happily facing what many figured was an unlikely return trip to Pittsburgh.
Joffrey Lupul scored the first of Philadelphia’s three first-period goals Thursday night and the Flyers extended the Eastern Conference finals for at least one more game with a 4-2 victory over the Penguins.
Penguins move to brink of Cup finals with 4-1 win
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Ryan Whitney’s wide smile told several stories.
He and the Pittsburgh Penguins are one win away from the Stanley Cup finals, and the path was paved by his goal that was three months in the making. Quick strikes by Whitney and Marian Hossa raised the Penguins to heights not reached since Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr donned the black and gold.
Whitney and Hossa scored less than 3 minutes apart in the first period, and the Penguins held the Philadelphia Flyers to 18 shots Tuesday night in a 4-1 victory that gave Pittsburgh a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
“This might have been our best defensive effort all year,” Whitney said.
Another win against their cross-state rivals, and the Penguins will advance to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since Lemieux and Jagr led Pittsburgh to titles in 1991 and 92.
“We’re five wins away from our goal, but this next game is so important,” said Whitney, who scored for the first time in 30 games. “They’re playing for their season.”

Talbot’s game-winner pushes Penguins past Flyers 4-2
PITTSBURGH (AP) -Losing on an Evgeni Malkin goal, or Sidney Crosby goal, the Philadelphia Flyers might understand.
Losing to the Pittsburgh Penguins on fourth-line forward Max Talbot’s goal will be very difficult for the Flyers to deal with, especially in a series that is fast slipping away from them.
Talbot, a checking line forward on a team renowned for its stars, scored the go-ahead goal midway through the third period and the Penguins took a two-game lead in the Eastern Conference finals by beating the Flyers 4-2 Sunday night.
Crosby and Marian Hossa also scored and Jordan Staal added an empty-net goal in the final minute as Pittsburgh came back to win after twice giving away leads.
Pittsburgh won the first two games at home for the third consecutive series, with Game 3 set for Tuesday night in Philadelphia. The Flyers won each of their first two playoff rounds after losing Game 1, but this is the first time they also lost Game 2 on the road.
“We’ve played in a Game 7 where if you lose, you go home,” said goalie Martin Biron, who made 34 saves. “Game 3 isn’t like that, but it’s as close as it’s going to get. I think we played pretty good, but we can play better. … It’s all about desperation and urgency.’

Malkin’s 2 goals lead flyin’ Penguins past Flyers, 4-2
PITTSBURGH (AP) -Evgeni Malkin scored two dazzling goals 5 minutes apart to give Pittsburgh a two-goal lead, after Sidney Crosby tied it, and the Penguins rode their two big stars to a 4-2 victory over cross-state rival Philadelphia in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals Friday night.
Malkin, who is only 21 but is the leading scorer in the playoffs with 17 points following a three-point night, scored with 6.5 seconds left in the first period with a tired Flyers line on the ice to put Pittsburgh up 3-2.
The pivotal goal blunted much of the momentum the Flyers gained by briefly taking a 2-1 lead on Mike Richards’ two goals.
Malkin’s first career short-handed goal, on a breakaway created by Sergei Gonchar’s pass from one end of the ice to the other early in the second, was the crusher for the Flyers, who didn’t do much offensively after that despite taking 28 shots against goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.
With Philadelphia on the power play, Malkin missed his initial short-handed attempt before being leveled behind the net by Richards. Malkin got up and began skating toward the Penguins’ zone. Before he got there, Marian Hossa knocked the puck loose from Daniel Briere.
That allowed Gonchar to sail it back down the ice to Malkin for a slap shot between the hash marks that flew past Martin Biron before he could react, generating a huge roar from the all-in-white Penguins crowd of 17,132.

Hossa’s OT goal gives Penguins 3-2 win, ends Rangers season
PITTSBURGH (AP) -So much for the talk a team as young as the Pittsburgh Penguins couldn’t advance this far in the playoffs. So much for the speculation Marian Hossa couldn’t score big postseason goals.
So much for the New York Rangers, too, whose decided edge in experience meant nothing in a five-game series in which the Penguins’ superior talent repeatedly made the difference.
Hossa scored his second goal of the game 7:10 into overtime and the Penguins rallied after giving up a two-goal lead to beat the Rangers 3-2 on Sunday and advance to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in seven years.
Sidney Crosby began a rush into the Penguins end with a pass to Pascal Dupuis, who attempted to give it back to Crosby. The puck trickled away but ended up on Hossa’s stick, and he beat Henrik Lundqvist from the slot for his fifth of the playoffs to end New York’s season. The Penguins won the second-round series 4-1.
“Sid was driving hard to the net and it kind of bounced off him and the puck just came up to me, and I just tried to shoot at the net - and it was a lucky one,” Hossa said.
