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.

Sure wish had dealt a better hand this year...
Between his own play and their lack of giving him games, assured he's a 1 year rental player...

@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@DaveyDov Agreed. He’ll be starting somewhere next season.
Glad to see the are gonna try get the 25 game appearances in for a shot at the Jennings.

Puck luck... Zebras letting us get away with stuff... Is this the twilight zone?

@mike Not to our normal expectations… Corner turned? Or is that the Keith’s talking?!? 🤔

Just tuning in before I go home for the night. Looks like we're getting good Jets tonight.

@mike I missed the 1st (wing night at Roxy’s y’know) but am now settled in for the next.

Weak call on Pionk… 🦓🧑‍🦯

I get wound up when Helley plays the puck behind the net, I don’t know what to think when he’s out to the blue line to play it!!! But, it worked!

How does Connor not bury that? He's definitely off a bit.

@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@mike I blame the haircut! Play isn’t as free flowing either.

@wpgguy @mike There is this ‘great minds’ thing that kicks in once in a while…

@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@ColleenB @wpgguy @mike Does this mean you’re back from yet another sun get-away? 😎

graand,
@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@mike @wpgguy @ColleenB Or even worse, when she’s not incorrect… 🙄

Dinner! Tom Kha Gai (Thai Coconut Chicken Soup). Makes my knees weak. 🤤

@Shanitoba This does sound so good! My culinary skills have tailed off lately, but your posts provide needed encouragement to ‘keep the faith’!😋

Joining late, again. 3-2 for the in the 3rd, have I missed much?


graand,
@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

Other than now 4-2! You’re welcome

That's on Brosoit, Jets need better goal tending than that. JETS:2 KINGS:3 :JetsRetro:

graand,
@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@mike The plan seems to be ‘shoot high’. And so far that’s working. Bro has been down on every long shot.

Ok I'm finally in front of a TV for the second. :wasac:

graand,
@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@mike Choppy play so far. Puck really seems to be bouncing and not much for clean plays. But, welcome anyway!

Do I want to watch the game tonight?

graand,
@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@winnipegguy I’m here for the game! Whether it ‘takes’ or not remains to be seen. I wanna have faith…

@DaveyDov@thecanadian.social avatar

Thoughts (2.0)?


graand,
@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@DaveyDov The first goal was a bit of (sorely needed!) puck luck. Still too much passing trying for the pretty goal. Get ugly. Shoot from wherever. Get the greasy garbage goals.

I'm not sure if it's too soon to say Wheeler may not have been the problem but...

graand,
@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@ColleenB Is it just a Winnipeg thing then? Doomed/destined no matter what good tried to come our way?!? Did The Weakerthans have it right all along?

@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

A single anthem game! And Stacey handed it over to the crowd. They did OK!

@wpgguy@thecanadian.social avatar

and yes sticking up for a team and all that blah blah - 55 has to be smarter and know his role on this team.

🏒
:Jets:
🌈 :wasac:

graand,
@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@wpgguy I get that but I’m gonna give him a pass on that one. Other than time of game/season of course.


graand,
@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@wpgguy Yes you are not incorrect. This team is not pulling in a unified direction. So, not the coach. Not the captain. Not the star players. What do we have here???

(sigh)

mike, to random
@mike@thecanadian.social avatar

It's obviously me, I bailed for the third

graand,
@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@mike Oh Mike, when will we learn?!? OK, never! We will never learn!


graand, to random
@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

More shots on net and play heavy. Bones is back!


graand, to random
@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

So we have Bones back behind the bench. Is this what’s been missing? Stay tuned fans for the next twist in the tale.

mike, to random
@mike@thecanadian.social avatar

looking better this game. I have to bounce but keep me up to date Jets fans.

graand,
@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@ColleenB @mike @caffeinatedgeek I lucked out and had company (not watchers) drop by and I missed the last period and a half.

I am starting to think maybe it’s not any of us, it just might be our team at this moment….

graand,
@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@ColleenB @mike @caffeinatedgeek
And so much for the games in hand. Yeah, watching our is just not a lot of fun these days. Another thing on top of this cranky (or maybe it’s just me) ‘spring’ weather.

OK, time for a serious attitude change.
