You have to love it after its all over.....but who would have picked Boucher to outplay Lundquist in a shootout.....statistics show that Lundquist was among the very elite performers in shootout compitition.....I can assure you that no one from Philly wanted a shoot out.

We'll either play the Caps or the Bruins depending upon who wins the Caps/Habs game 7 tonight. I don't think it will make much difference as our lineup is pretty depleated with injuries. Lappierre is not out with a brain contusion and concussion from taking that shot to the head in the last game. Injuries have just been incredible this year and going into the playoffs. Our #1 and #2 goaltenders, Emery and Leighton are both out with long term injuries. Two of our top 6 forwards, Carter and Gagne and both out with a broken foot and broken toe from blocking shots and probably our best penalty killer, Lappierre, is now out. You can't lose that many crucial core players and still remain competitive in the playoffs. I don't see us making it past the second round no matter who we play ?

Hi, I am purchasing a home in Fulton county. Does anyone know why the radon levels are so high in this and its surrounding counties? Thank you.

Radon is everywhere, welcome to planet Earth!

We also have fairly high radon levels here in the Chicago area. My home initially tested slightly above the 4 pCi/L and later tested below. I never installed a mitigation system, but will test annually to see if the levels change. Had a guy over recently to fix some stuff and he said his home tested really high, around 10 pCi/L. At that level, I'd install a mitigation system. Anyway, tons of info at the link below, but be warned, there's a lot of hype. Afterall, they're trying to sell you something!

It's just a roll of the dice as to how much Radon gas you have. You could have high radon levels and your neighbor may not or vice versa.

You can have the home tested by a professional for around $100 or buy a kit and test it yourself for $15. Radon.com – The Radon Information Center

If you feel you need a radon mitigation system after testing, they're not that much. They basically drill a large hole or two in your foundation, seal it and connect a PVC pipe that leads outside and has an inline slow moving fan that ventilates gases outside. Cost is around $2k total.

Atlanta is built on granite rock. Stone Mountain is a giant granite outcrop. Places with granite tend to have higher levels. Most at risk are usually the basements.

You will get it tested in the inspection process. There are mitigation steps if the place has an issue.
