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.

For the record my boy says Jets win tomorrow, then a win in Vegas and back home to seal the deal. Jets in six. :JetsRetro: :Knights:

I like the cut of your boy’s jib! And he’s not been wrong to date!

Optimistic but well considered! I’ll take it.

I’m taking this as a win. Coming back from a 4-1 deficit, killing off two penalties in OT… the showed grit and determination and they can take that to game 4. Great effort boys.

@traingeek
If you believe moral victories have a value then you are not wrong.

However at the end of the day (and damn I don't miss hearing that bit o' nonsense from back in my workaday days!) it doesn't really matter. The series is now 2-1, the still need three more and getting one tonight would have made the hill a little less steep. But I feel good about what Monday will bring!

Great gutsy game from the Jets. Lots of hockey left here. They clawed their way back and were one bounce away from the win. :wasac: :JetsRetro:

Why does the term "firebrand hockey" come to mind? I don't even know what that means.. A result of reading too much as a younger?!?

My boy says The Jets need to press the points more, that the Jets have been too soft on their D and that most of the Vegas goals are being fed from the point. :Knights: :Jets:

Another not incorrect perspective! you've raised the boy OK!

You are not incorrect in this assessment. Although I still want to see PLD out there.

If Schiefele scores again to tie/win it I'm gonna have to eat something I'd rather not!

Yeah we're a shadow of what we almost used to be. Not gonna comment on 55 this time, I'm tired.

40 hits and the first period isn't done yet.

I don't mind clean hits but not so much when it gets in the way of the hockey game. Welcome to the I guess.

Kinda ironic that the SN/CBC broadcast opens up with a variation of "Saturday Night" at 2:30 in the afternoon...

:TheCDN3: This is mostly for users on my instance but feel free to vote and reply. Would you like me (the administrator) to provide some sort of verification service (free) where I'd put a verification mark in your profile header upon request?

graand,
@graand@thecanadian.social avatar

@mike
Initially ambivalent but on further reflection it wouldn't hurt. I don't mind an indication to others that I'm as real as the validity of the verification.

Since it only applies to this instance it's of less value when thinking if others are as real, but one still has to be properly cautious regardless.

As a curiousity, what in your mind is/are legit verification criteria?
