earlier today: sherri's first shootout, it was difficult for me (kendra) to decide who to go for when my current favorite team the new york rangers was going one for one against my old favorite team ottawa, like i have a picture of myself on parliment hill holding up a blow up version of the stanley cup back in the sens mile days. ultimately new york won on shot five or six and that settled that.
currently: leafs vs. flames. sherri loves the flames particularly the fact that they scored two goals within a minute. currently 3:1 with seven minutes left in the first. sherri is making pizza, rebecca is making a drink and graham is at his cousin's birthday party (expected to arrive for the second game, vancouver vs. colorado).

nervoustime regular season debut: october 10, penguins vs. leafs, oilers vs canadians
first game watched together as the nervoustime collective this regular season, we watched a preseason game at mark's and ate some fantastic deluca's food there and bought a nervoustime ice cream cake but we were too full to eat it. had been blogging and then lost one period of comments as the computer started and stopped.
quick overview of things discussed in the blog that was unfortunately deleted: mr. belding, malkin as ugliest guy in the nhl (says mark), teppo numinin, graham engaged to be engaged, sherri drunk, gogol bordello, folk fest line up 2010, flaming lips, pat quinn, helmetless players and hair gel, how much people hate the leafs, how graham has an emotional investment in the canadians, neil young and bob dylan, how we were supposed to be at this game, matching ties, wilco or calexico, chilli with ketchup, how we're watching the next game.
present: mark (meditating), sherri: having another drink, mark: as well, kendra: more club soda, graham: thought we were at sherri's, rebecca: in a pens shirt, vanessa: phoned at 8:17, on the way, agreeable to sit on the floor.
vanessa arives : 8:24, mark comments on her sexiness. "you can't be sexy all day." vanessa in new earings. possible competition to graham's ring for "bling of the night". vanessa also brought gingerale, sourpatch kids and cheezies.
happy thanksgiving.
graham is on his third beer. "you guys, we will be at hifi tonight"
sherri "it is a little early for the snow."
8:41- club soda spill of the year!! 5 person clean up! blackberry currently in a bowl of rice.
8:57- sidney crosby talks about that greatest game this season...yep, he;s talking about this game!
final score: pittsburgh-5, toronto-2
8:58-ritualistic gatorade shaking by random hockey player
9:00- yes it took me 20 minutes to type this....rebecca: "but you spelled ritualistic right. so it's alright".
9:01 - sherri almost lights the place on fire.
game 2: montreal at edmonton.
scott oake is looking especially creepy tonight.
final score predictions: mark 5-4 oilers, vanessa 6-4 oilers, kendra 4-3 oilers, sherri 4-2 oilers, rebecca 5-3 oilers, graham smith-peloquin 3-1 montreal.
khabibulin injury discussion. groin injury? std?
oilers powerplay........"not alright" graham
nice montreal shot
"who's helmet's on the floor" sherri / mark "who wore a helmet tonight."
discussion of barchet's grocery, stale candy?
mark is talking about the devils "they were so well rounded." gsp "lots of depth, yeah."
no shots on goal on that power play.
very close one for the oilers "i thought it was there." mark
rebecca's eyesight is improoving.
"are you wearing contacts under your glasses?"
mark on the new scotia bank savings account "i kind of like this commercial."
graham leads discussion about cd they made when the jets were about to leave.
graham is only ever buying coaches like this in the future "i feel like i'm in bed right now"
"that's some new jersey devils hockey." "they do play the trap now." "there is a lot of hockey talk going on."
sherri: drink four
graham: also on his fourth
sherri: "keeping up with graham, yes!"
lets' talk about khabibuelen caving under pressure (led by sherri)
graham: he's won a stanley cup
mark: he willl never cave again. i think the oilers goalies get too much critisism. they need to play as a whole team.
graham: so we're all going to see mr. belding later
mark: i'm going and setting him up with my friend sherri sugar
on hi fi: sherri says "i feel creepy." graham on die machine "that seems like a bar that would be in wayne's world."
still no score 5:25 left in the first, interesting considering our predictions of a high scoring game.
"you don't yell at rebecca when she's making you a drink."
mark on sherri's drink: "that's one for the ages."
9:43- first period over. kendra and mark want to go to on a double date with hilary duff and mike comrie.
9:49- first kelly hrudey sighting...thoughts of him naked cause for a moment of silence especially with the tie..." room agrees they like kelly hrudey.
10:01- score 1 nothing edmonton
10:02- roar of disappointment from the crowd...sherri is the worst blogger
mark: i forgot to wish jr and ziggy a happy birthday,
sherri: i wish them all a happy birthday
NEXT OILERS GOAL

mark: everytime a goalie makes a good save i think of the jets. GREAT SAVE ESSENSA.
graham mentions the jets wives carnival for the first time, 10:12

13:19 to go.........
haven't figured out the super tanned oiler
montreal goal (?)
mark: i told you edmonton can choke
graham: they're going upstairs
didn't go.....into the corner/out of the corner?
"did you see him look at the camera and wink? i got it."
pat quinn: tie of the night
no goal
"that was a beautiful save"
"he's a choke" sherri
anyways, montreal scored, for real.
sherri: what can he do, he can take a drink like the rest of us
mark: watch the goal though his own player tipped it in
sherri: in the playoff's he's a choke
rebecca: they're still going to win
mark: it's not khabibuelen it's the whole oilers they are all chokes
sherri: he does that every playoffs, he chokes
final two minutes
get it out of there.......
oilers trying to hold this lead final minute of play here we go empty net in his own corner over the top blocked right back in come on guys says graham gomez at centre these are the guys you want out there, two devils, hal gill, tipped in front, around the boards ten seconds one last chance...................
just missed the empty net (where's zetterberg?)
what a finish!
mark: that was fantastic
graham: montreal canadians are just too tired that's the only reason they lost.
sher: anyone want to do high fives with me
rebecca: i don't know if i have any final thoughts this game
graham: anyone feel like going to lo pub

relaxtime:the dating blog
the hockey playoffs are over. some of us are in crosby shirts, others of us are in love. ultimately, now that crosby has won his first stanley cup the consensus at hockey night on arlington is that relaaxtime should be where it is at.
so to start, before we get into our mysteries of life and of life, are the secrets to nervoustime dating:
1) honesty: this sounds like an easy one but when you aren't used to it it's pressence is a dream. you can say you like malkins parents to someone who hates them. hey, maybe one day you will be like malkin's parents.
2) billy joel: the song "tell her about it" is the only thing a mediocre dater needs to hear. seriously, tell her about it (how you feel) don't tell her about the following: you ex girlfriend from six years ago, how drunk you got at halloween 2005, how badly you miss farrah fawcett (just kidding, tell her that one.)
3) get sick: when boys get sick they become needy in a way boys don't like to admit. it's good. if you're nice she will probably realize how nice you are and like you enough to stick around to stick around to hear you start quoting billy joel. if you aren't she will probably break up with you and you will find another girlfriend who will.
this is just a preliminary list. please contact us with your questions. here at nervoustime we are hoping to make everyone's non play off season as non-nervous as possible. we want to be loving you loving yourself while mostly just loving ourselves.
catcha soon, sher, becca, vanessa, kendra

STANLEY CUP! GAME 7! PITTSBURGH @ DETROIT!
present: sherri (gin), nesse (keith), rebecca (lychee cocktail pt.2), angie (in transit)
pregame sentiments:
sherri: all i can think is nervoustime, nervoustime, nervoustime, go penguins! your earrings are cool in the computer light. don't say that in the blog.
vanessa: i just got a front row seat to the don cherry gun show! (referring to pregame clip of don cherry holding an octopus in the michigan river wearing a tank top).
rebecca: i love it when talbot & fleury have their 'moment' before the game. i wonder what they're talking about...
7:12 - mario lemieux looks nervous up in the corporate box. sherri thinks the penguins need to shut down datsyuk. this is not cool with vanessa.
7:13 - cbc commentator: toss out all the statistics, forget all about the previous games, it's all down to one game now, one game, one game that we've all played in our driveways and in our minds, it's the only game that matters now.
7:14 - the traditional swinging of the octopus.
7:14 - GAME ON!
7:15 - zetterberg has a chance. vanessa is once again warned about loudness.
7:17 - rebecca: fleury has to be a rock this game. solid as a rock. is humming ' solid as a rock' in her head.
7:20 - cbc commentator: crosby's being smothered by zetterberg. sherri: it's zetterberg's flowing hair that's smothering crosby...his beautiful flowing hair...
7:22 - hugo is floating on his back. rebecca: yep, he's got a swim bladder infection. vanessa: that's super freaky. sherri: he's just hanging out sunning his belly. he's fine!
7:23 - pure disbelief over game seven.
7:24 - sherri exclaims to rebecca: i heard that cricket games can last for hours!!! no, DAYS!! oh yeah, didn't you tell me that?
7:25 - disappointment that muhammad ali is wearing a detroit jersey.

pregame sentiments:

may 23 - game three pittsburgh v. carololina
present: sherri, kendra, rebecca (gin), vanessa (keiths), graham (standard)
early comments: kid singing the anthem (graham "that was a twist")
all attendees confirm they are going for pittsburgh
sherri: when they have the puck they can do anything
everyone is also going for malkin's parents - make out of the year, game 2
graham: is the theme actually single in chicago cause i tried to get chicago beer
sherri: well, we have pizza
discussion turns to khabibulin, did he storm out or was he kicked out, rebecca comments on his temper, sherri notes he was a winnipeg jet
cole's beard is actually pretty good.
graham still talking about malkins parents
oh no, carolina goal, 6:45. "they are all of rebounds at this point" rebecca
we all start talking about our hockey card collections graham says he may have kelly rudy, kendra's are in a binder, rebecca's are shared with her dad and sherri only has the one card - keith t rookie.
power play for pittsburgh coming up
dusting the tv 650 / graham gets his second beer
POWER PLAY GOAL MALKIN! "i like him because he takes chances and goes for it" sherri
(no shot of his parents) - probably because the game is in carolina
graham: did you know that cam ward is super religious, checking where he is from.
cam ward is from sherwood park alberta. other interesting things are that his older sister is named kendra and that he owns a hockey team called the red deer jets who wear winnipeg jets jerseys. we obviously are planning a trip to red deer, details to follow.
pittsburgh power play coming up. penalty to cole
fire alarm, 7:08 rebecca: i give that evacuation a 3 out of 5
fire alarm still going on and off, 7:13. rebecca: everytime i think it's done.....
second pittsburgh goal crosby
(interestingly on google search 'sidney crosby girlfriend' comes up as a preselected search but 'scott oake age' doesn't)
rebecca's parents drive by on motorcycles honking, 7:14
MALKIN SECOND GOAL
"he's full of himself but deserves to be"
graham: i don't like the teams from the south like with the weird names and stuff
mark text (on the pittsburgh goals): i hate them >:->
question to cullen: have you recovered? answer: we have no choice but to do so
another penalty for carolina, 7:40
andrew pask on the phone: watching the game, says it's good
announcer: i'm not sure how comfortable fluery is in this game, he his hanging on by a thread
pace was crazy in the first few mins of the 2nd
the drums outside are back, it sounds like a parade
vanessa: this is the best food i've had coming to a hockey game
graham and kendra's moms both also like sidney crosby
kendra wants to announce she went to her first lemonade stand of the year.
rebecca mentions teppo numinin for the first time 8:15
they do get their goal: carolina with two
sherri lights a candle, 8:25
malkin breakaway, good save by ward
kendra loves the way the announcer says "however" during the busy times
the pace has changed.
carolina power play "it may not have been intentional, but was that a hit"
vanessa: every picture they show of malkin has his tongue hanging out
YAY! another pittsburgh goal, high fives all around, the cake rules too!!!
it's getting rough out there, the goalie for carolina has gone to the bench for 3:26 remaining
graham: there is a new way to sharpen skates where they won't cut skin
square vanessa brought is amazing, rice crispys great addition
carolina penalty
empty net from greg adams off the faceoff
another one off the rush, 6-2
kendra announces this is her stanley cup game since she is unable to watch any other play off games
final thoughts
becca: i thought it would be a closer game
vanessa: oh i hate this stuff
kendra: that was a stanley cup win in my mind. five to go!
sherri: i think pittsburgh is going to win the stanley cup
rebecca: i know pittsburgh is going to win the stanley cup and good night teppo numinin
graham: i really like rice crispie squares or these squares.
nervous time out.
love, sherri, graham, rebecca, kendra and vanessa.

may 13: we belong together, now.
the hockey blogging has taken a bit of a downturn with our fitness and drinking and working schedules. the canucks lost and graham and i watched together but the computer was in another room.
today i caught a bit of the pittsburgh game at paradise restaurant and saw it was 5-0! i was with my mom, who said this about the playoffs:
"are vancouver still it it? oh now, they aren't? well i'm going for pittsburgh. i like that sidney crosby. he's a good man. i like people with good character. like him. and the flames captain. igninlia. i was waiting all season for the oilers to fire their coach. we all were. well, me i'm just a fairweather hockey fan."
in sidney crosby news, at least we know how old he is, like what years was scott oake called the kid anyways.
for rebecca, my mom and all the pens fans, here's to victory and the third round:
Thursday, May 7, 2009
may 7
sometimes you get sleepy cause you end up staying up past ten pm too many nights in a row. maybe this is because of your blogging or because you've met a cute blackhawks fan (what?, true story...)
in any event, you might forget hockey is even on until you check and text "oh no" to your blogging partner who texts back "overtime" you text "nervous" he texts "for vancouver?" you text "yes."
but back to what you what you were doing, you remember that it is unlikely scott oake will announce his age tonight on his twitter account or elsewhere and even if the canucks lose they will win the rest and you got to rediscover your favorite band from grade five and remembered the song that makes you happier than anything else.
so for the nervous time watchers and blackhawks fans and everyone tired, here is a good night from the moody blues:
Tuesday, May 5, 2009
cinco de mayo: game three

theory: as the playoffs go on things get more sexual. sherri "i heard shaft at least ten times in one game."
coach's corner
vancouver playing sissy up until now, no more fog.
you gotta be able to whack a guy down whose standing infront of your goalie, ie "canadian justice"

sherri: this end of the 2nd period, boring "i'm going to be honest:"

scott oake interview: soo good
becca: 58
graham: 54

just about another goal, chic
another good penalty kill for vancouver
horrible taking out of alex burrows
power play van
rebecca "the eyewear makes this even better"
we've said it before: chicago's biggest weekness the way khabibulin leaves the net
chicago: dead tired, they ice the puck
sherri: they played good
rebecca: that was exciting in the replay
kendra: see, they do do replays
sherbert: coming out (key lime)
ohlund's stick just exploded!
reason we don't post our blg until the end: we want you to watch the game
2:15 left in third period. pulled the goaltender
40 seconds left
mark crawford sweet talk to the players
luongo a really good goalie, sherri: "i believe it in my heart"
game is over. van takes it
rebecca: pondering for a minute
sherri: i think vancouver is lucky that their goalie is really good cause sometimes they make mistakes. but i love them. and i want to party with them.
graham: i have no comment.
kendra: about the game or about sherri partying with the cancucks?
rebecca: you gotta comment. chicago could have had at least two goals. i think it was thier mindset going in, laid back.
sherri: this is a lot of final thoughts.
all our love, YAY CANUCKS, xo, becca, sher, gray and ken

rebecca: thinks she ha a dream about hockey, that she was plaing or in the player's eye view
house of pain on commercial: brings us back
the guys that wore their close backwards. kris kross will make you jump jump, what are kris kross doing now
turning up the volume: 8:17
pretty quiet building, it's also pretty quiet here, "well we just finished eating" sher
turn on the lights: 8:19
goal vancuver
chicago scores, 3-1
rebecca: cbc doesn't believe in replays
sherri: this end of the 2nd period, boring "i'm going to be honest:"
dc: kids, if you're ever going to play in the national hockey league don't do that to a guy's skate, on chicago being dead in the water since that hit on the skate
scott oake interview: soo good
becca: 58
graham: 54
kendra: 60
(age predictions for scott oake)
this period isn't that interesting yet either (kendra: four seconds in)
just about another goal, chic
another good penalty kill for vancouver
horrible taking out of alex burrows
power play van
rebecca "the eyewear makes this even better"
we've said it before: chicago's biggest weekness the way khabibulin leaves the net
chicago: dead tired, they ice the puck
sherri: they played good
rebecca: that was exciting in the replay
kendra: see, they do do replays
sherbert: coming out (key lime)
ohlund's stick just exploded!
reason we don't post our blg until the end: we want you to watch the game
2:15 left in third period. pulled the goaltender
40 seconds left
mark crawford sweet talk to the players
luongo a really good goalie, sherri: "i believe it in my heart"
game is over. van takes it
rebecca: pondering for a minute
sherri: i think vancouver is lucky that their goalie is really good cause sometimes they make mistakes. but i love them. and i want to party with them.
graham: i have no comment.
kendra: about the game or about sherri partying with the cancucks?
rebecca: you gotta comment. chicago could have had at least two goals. i think it was thier mindset going in, laid back.
sherri: this is a lot of final thoughts.
all our love, YAY CANUCKS, xo, becca, sher, gray and ken

april 30: round two!!!
vancouver v. chicago, round 2, game 1
at sher's, kendra arrived after 2nd period (moving!!!), drinking out of a travel mug (nervous time secret #2), sherri: drinking ginger ale, becca, at l. cohen (corresponding by text)
GOAL VAN, 9:16 "a twin kiling daniel to heinrich" - no texts, my cell is charging in the kitchen
first period summary: vancouver scored a goal
scott oake, in the house, however, becca's fave anthem singer was also there "did this crazy thing at the end where his voice cracked. it wasn't his best" sherri.
rebecca calls from l.cohen "i'm cheering for vancouver in this series...i made that decision before vancouver scored the second goal. the concert is REALLY good!" (kendra comment: the fact that rebecca called is so far my favorite part of the night)
food: homemade chicken fingers and yam fries, excellent.
THREE NOTHING
"penalty problems again"
a four minute power play for vancouver COMING UP
rebecca text: i'm proud of vancouver, i bet lenoard cohen would want vancouver to win. i'd like to take this moment to give a shout out to teppo numinin", 9:39
the period is over. "that was a quick period" sherri
"you were on the phone for part of that period but vancouver is playing good, luongo is kicking ass and maybe taking a few numbers." sherri
"i got a flyer from madison square safeway today and totaly thought of ivan." kendra
first appearence of don cherry on the nervoustime blog 9:51 (he's wearing a purple plaid suit for those who are wondering)
first scott oak's age prediction...sherri has deduced that scott is at least 50 years old.
kendra discusses sherri, rebecca and herself being hired by cbc. sherri notes "perhaps first we need to get a few more fans to our blog."
"i think it will help with your positivity" (sherri, on a topic secret for now)
third period:
chicago goal "out of the penalty box, into the action"
sherri: opening a window, 10:06
"this is the danger of momentum"
"chicago has definitely picked it up", sherri
a petal just dropped: 10:10
khabbulin is playing good, kendra observation. "he is a great goalie, we all knew that" sherri.
picture looks good "the best it's been in awhile, still hard to see that puck" sherr (no cable tonight)
sherri texting
"i just realized the vancouver goals are usually when i'm on the phone. someone should phone me" kendra
kendra relization: there will be no hockey at my yoga retreat. sherri "i will text you but you will get them at the end. there will be 100 in your inbox."
vancouver penalty 10:19
chicago score 10:20
all begin to text 10:20
sherri wonders aloud " why is george s. now called "my boyfriend"? 10:22
kendra responds " i don't have a boyfriend" 10:23
sherri "me neither!" 1st high five of the night 10:24-10:27
6 minutes left in the game, kendra confident that vancouver will hold their lead. enough of this kane (while typing, chicago scores) tie
NERVOUS TIME with 5:29 to go
(both of us texting)
AAAHHHH
seriously, this is why the playoffs are awesome....
sherri notes rebecca hasn't texted back, "concert must be good. we need a vancouver power play"
kendra remembers that horrible lead the canucks blew to the stars a few years ago and remembers why she shudders whenever hearing the name "gaborik"
also: missing markus nasland
"this is exciting at least" kendra
"this is much better than the rest of the games we watched last week" sherri
rebecc text: sheeit
VAN SCORE!!!!
one minute left
and the arlington crowd goes wild! and possilbly one fan at the mts center
there was another goal, an empty netter.
salo wins first star of the game: sherri and kendra agree with that completly. vancouver didn't have the same spunk in the third period but were able to pull it off.
"hoping to have a final word from rebecca, it's probably an encore or something...."
ok, good job canucks, note they've played 5 now and lost 0. total favorite team of the nervous time.
we're celebrating the vancouver victory. you should be too. xoxo, sherri and kendra
