Ambivert-ish. Centre left politically.

Perpetual fan of the Winnipeg Jets and Blue Bombers.

Ex bunch of things: teacher, school administrator, heavy equipment operator, network architect/geek. Interests-eclectic! Music (play guitar a little), outdoor life (camping, snowmobiling, hiking), volunteering, messing around in the shop with wood, metal, tools, machines ’n’ such, figuring stuff out. Every day I learn more how little I really I know.

24 hrs later. The old ways work.

Gain the zone.
Shots on net.
Crash the crease.
Get greasy.
Protect your house.
Ring one off the goalies dome..

Whatever it takes. Play desperate.

@ColleenB @mike
Yes indeed, it does seem hard for this team. Not meaning to be too self-serving but it’s also hard on the supporters!!! 😬

On my TV feed (ESPN Australia) I'm seeing the player i.d. over Toronto players (not Boston ones).

Is that normal?

@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@emarktaylor @hnom @hockey This started a couple of years ago, I think as an aid to sportscasters that didn’t know the players. Since then it has ‘leaked’ into general broadcasts once in a while.

So there’s gonna be another whiteout party (looking for that damn silver lining)

Came home early to tune into the game. :Jets:

@mike I’m a late arrival but did catch a bit of the first on the bar screen. Damned unlucky goal, that first one. Hang on time for Bro for the Jennings!

I get the idea of resting starters and bringing in some new blood to get a taste but sure hope the lineup change goes positively.

@Shanitoba I have not been to a Leopolds. A new adventure awaits! Any recommendation as to which location?

Well now, that was a game! Two in a row even! Dare we believe?!?

graand,

@krst So hard to figure how a team can look so helpless during a losing streak, and then look so good like they are now. That six game losing streak took finishing first in the Central out of the picture. But, here we are…

We got the American feed there for a bit

@mike Yeah I got that too. Nice to have someone taking care of us!

in the afternoon.

@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

When it’s way nice outside but the are on in the afternoon you improvise. Not perfect but I can watch and not feel guilty ‘wasting’ the day inside.

V2. Too much reflection off the screen, so we did a NASCAR pit stop to break things down, set up the screen room and rebuild the technology. Back in action for the second period!
Still a bit of reflection, but completely watchable.

Congradulations to Sidney Crosby, recording his 1000th assist moving him into on the all time points list.
The quintessential all around player, Sidney helped usher in the modern era.

graand,
@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@mike Yes indeed. The only thing that bothers me is he’s still Sid the Kid in my mind and how is it possible that he’s played this many games and is approaching the end of (an illustrious!) career? How come he got older and I haven’t changed?!?

I am due for an awakening one of these days…

My family had this discussion last night: What if the miss the playoffs?

A remote possibility, but a possibility none the less.

@ColleenB @Gstpulldn @mike Helly is seeing a lot more in tight and up close traffic tonight. Note to D: cleanup in front of your net!

graand,
@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@ColleenB @Gstpulldn @mike No, once again you are not incorrect. There’s a tightness in this game. But the Avs are playing a strong game. Nothings easy in the !
