It's been four years and we have a lot to say, first of all we are all doing well. Jen is 1538 days sober, Kendra is 2538 days sober, Eric is 1538 days married. </p><p><br /></p><p>There was the pandemic as well since our absense. </p><p><br /></p><p>Discussion of Dave Lowry/Adam Lowry. They were both captains and Eric has also achieved a captaincy of his own in his career. </p><p><br /></p><p>We are in Charleswood right now, at Tracey and Gene's. Snacks include mini quiches, chicken wings, mordens nuts and chocolates and various candy (sour patch children and swedish berries). </p><p><br /></p><p>There was a goal which was challenged and disallowed. A distinctive kicking motion. Expressions of displeasure from the Jets crowd echoed the displeasure of the Nervoustime crew upon discovering that Stacey Natress is still yelling the anthems at us.</p><p>So many catchups and so many house changes. Every single one of us has moved since we last got together except for Kendra.</p><p>Fast paced game tonight. According to the commentators it's all about the puck. I'm pretty sure the puck doesn't move without being hit by a stick but what do I know about physics.</p><p>Discussion about the barron brothers and how they're mom was at the game the other day. Leading us to officially remove our support for the Staal brothers. </p><p>Now a discussion of the best Thai in Winnipeg. There's a lot of support for Magic Thailand, Siam, Viet Anne, Mae Sunee (Erin at Wellington, daughters of Thida). Mostly we would like recipes for Massamon.</p><p>Santa is real and Santa is a Jets fan. He's definitely at this game.</p><p>WINNIPEG JETS GOOOAAALLL!! Scored by number 44 Joshua Morrissey!</p><p>1-0 Jets after 20:00</p><p>Second period, and the conversation has transitioned to travel plans. Kendra is going to south east Asia soon, and Eric wants to go to Vietnam as well. Gene and Tracey haven't been to Vietnam since 2013; totally overdue for a trip back.</p><p>We are shwetti for perfetti. Something to shout!</p><p>and, another GOAL!! 2-0 Party with Vilardi! He's on a streak right now. He's Canadian, and a Leo. We do not know if is mother is at the game. </p><p>We do not miss Evander Kane. </p><p>lacrosse looks silly but is the oldest organized sport in north america dating to the twelfth century. canada has the largest amount of players in the nhl and sweden calls field hockey land hockey. fun facts!</p><p><br /></p><p>Penalty shot!!!!!!!</p><p>More brother notes the Geekie brothers are both from Manitoba.One plays for Boston and one played for the Ice.</p><p>Second Intermission</p><p>A lot of discussion on getting Jen into the cult of swifties. I, Jen don't see it happening But I love Taylor Swift for who she is.st not really my kind of music. </p><p>Shoutout to the Capital Grill, which probably does not put anyting special in their Caesar salads in spite of the $27 price point. </p><p>Caesar salads are not Italian but Mexican. </p><p>Darcy, not good at keeping secrets. So we now know that he and Jen are going to Hawaii in March for a belated honeymoon.</p><p>4-0 Winnipeg! Lowry...holy cowry! 6th goal of the season. His favourite snack is ripple chips, and he's an Aries (so is Josh Morrissy). </p><p>Sad news... John Sauder will be retiring soon. Nervoustime will need to get together to celebrate the reitrement. Jen would be a great replacement to report the weather. We now know that the sunrise time stays the same for 8 days straight until January 4th. </p><p><br /></p><p>Someone commented that 8 out of 10 jets have golden retrivers.</p><p><br /></p><p>currently discussing new years plans, Tracey is thinking of a casino. Eric is thinking of a cabin, Jen may stay up past 10 pm. Noah is also contemplating the casino. Everyone should go to the forks on new year's day for some great drag preformances.</p><p><br /></p><p>final thoughts -</p><p><br /></p><p>we will have another one this season. we are happy to be here in charleswood.</p><p><br /></p><p>Happy holidays xo nervoustime</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>mybrothergraemehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12613211982126266720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771401805357802992.post-27724608760066747672019-12-08T15:00:00.003-08:002019-12-08T15:00:32.522-08:00jets vs. duckslast post of the decade.....hello from the west end. when we started nervoustime ten years ago who knew it would grow to this. lively discussion of the pros and cons of the don cherry dismissal and how many defensemen we have now. rebecca has just arrived without charlie and matt as charlie is napping and they need to drive around for awhile.. Trevor is curing, Darcy is working and Eric, Vanessa, Jen Funk, Dave and myself Kendra are here.<br />
<br />
With great hair comes great responsibility" Eric trying to make Rebecca feel better about her new haircut. It looks great but she may think it takes too much work. A discussion on Australian phrases as Kendra is going on a trip.It seems very strange to us that someone would be called good value if you like them.<br />
<br />
\it does seem acceptable to use the term 'good value' to describe certain Winnipeg \jets. \unfortunately we don't know tons about how much the jets get paid, tracey has indicated that schiefle is good value. laine has more assists than anyone else on the jets apparently. dave recalls he learned how to do that last year<br />
<br />
we have looked up pionk and realized he was born in omaha. discussion of how many other nhl players may originate in omaha then nhl players from winnipeg. \<br />
<br />
discussion of how many people cried during the haley Wickenheiser induction into the hockey hall of fame jen also cried during the colour purple. \i cried during the move 'marriage story' which i recommend to everyone.<br />
<br />
first period is over, 1-1.<br />
<br />
first game for nick shore. jen 'he is handsome' dave : 'has a movie star name too' eric 'looks like the guy from bridesmaids'<br />
<br />
my first nick search recommendation is nick carter. jen and dave have nikki minogue and nick jonas. jen 'i feel terrible for nick nolte<br />
<br />
anyways, for nick shore he is a libra and was born in denver.<br />
<br />
<br />
Kendra just got a text from her mother asking her for her mailing address. Charlie showed me a cookie and then took it away.<br />
This just in...Kendras mom was updating her address book thus the reason for the address request.<br />
Shots 17-16 in favour of the Ducks. Jets just scored.. Yay!!! Lowry. Eric has seen him around town the most. He gets his own groceries and likes icecream.<br />
<br />
\yeah super exciting to hear that lowry grocery shops. anaheim hasn't had a shot on goal so far during the third period. last year when we watched there was that five goal game from laine.<br />
<br />
jen and darcy are moving to a tiny house in teulon perhaps one last trip to ste anne is in order.<br />
<br />
top hockey moments of the decade -<br />
<br />
mine is the advance to the second round in 2018<br />
<br />
rebecca's is getting the 'id do ya oduya' sign on tv<br />
<br />
tracey - the jets making it as far as they did in the playoffs, kane getting traded<br />
<br />
jen - the return of the winnipeg jets<br />
<br />
dave/jen talked about sidney crosby's goal / jen 'that was like an orgasm<br />
<br />
it's 2-2 now<br />
<br />
congrats to the bombers for the grey cup.Andrew Harris is at the game today.<br />
<br />
Power play goal from Mark "good value' Scheifele. Thankfully there is a Scheifele jersey here or we'd never know how to spell it.<br />
<br />
Kase, Kase we all fall down.<br />
<br />
Would the readers be interested in a nervoustime family year end letter. We're all thinking of bringing back the tradition of the family christmas letter.<br />
<br />
let us know.<br />
<br />
\jets win!!!! happy new year and see you in 2020 all xo neroustime<br />

Jets are playing the Blues and may play their new goalie. Discussion of Ru Paul’s drag race, the All starts start on December 14. present so far are Eric and Trevor, Charlie (recently started walking), Vanessa, Rebecca, Matt, Dave and myself Kendra. We are expecting Jen Funk (not massage therapist Jen) and Darcy and Gene and Tracey. Discussion now of phones at concerts, which you can read about on Dave's blog Raptitude (raptitude.com)<br />
<br />
why the announcers are wearing blue is a topic we hope to answer looks like it's in memory of Dave Hodge.<br />
<br />
discussion of legal cannabis, rocket launchers in Cambodia and the show 'dark tours'<br />
<br />
we haven't started watching the game yet.<br />
<br />
discussion of the hockey charity funds that actually go to charity, calgary is the worst i think and the jets is 65%<br />
<br />
st louis has an original organ<br />
<br />
it's 1-1 now and wheeler scored for the jets, we all really loved the coaches smile after the st. louis. rebecca thought she was too cool for degrassi.<br />
<br />
jets score again, laine.<br />
<br />
st. louis scored again and jen arrived in a new coat.<br />
<br />
jen - 'if we look back at the blog how often do you think we watch blues games'<br />
<br />
now it's 3-2. laine scored again so that's good. jen bought a can crusher with canadian tire money, vanessa 'isn't that your foot' - tanev scored. i almost checked my phone to check my fantasy hockey but dave reminded me we are behind<br />
<br />
the nachos are delicious by the way and there is an intense discussion of dairy free sour cream options across the room<br />
<br />
our two recommended instgram accounts are @busstopsofwinnipeg and @drinkingwithchickens<br />
<br />
another goal for patrick laine, aka hatrick laine, 7th hatrick of his career<br />
<br />
5.-2<br />
<br />
tyler myers is fighting<br />
<br />
laine scored again and someone can win 100k, possibly a million if it's another goal. apparently a four goal game is called 'a haul' / we are just going to call it a sombrero<br />
<br />
6.-2<br />
<br />
laine scored again<br />
<br />
7.2<br />
<br />
we lucked out for this game<br />
<br />
gene has mentioned laine has had now 3 hat tricks in 10 games<br />
<br />
did you know that the government actually calls people named as a reference on passport applications to verify their identity? will you be able to remember how long you have known them for when called. <br />
<br />
7-3 no one knows who scored. <br />
<br />
wikepedia has already added laine to the list of players with five or more goals in an nhl game. someone is on it! not sure who has won the $1M sobeys safeway prize although we are now worried that they may not pass the skill testing question<br />
<br />
7-4, and some fans in the stands don't even get up out of their seats to cheer. <br />
<br />
love you all see you in the playoffs<br />
<br />

<br />
We have so much Bronco love right now. Jen was at the memorial broncos game and has been discussing the somber feelings at the last game of the year.<br />
<br />
Darcy feels like Rebecca would be proud that were actually blogging right now.<br />
<br />
excited for chinese food spicy noodle house<br />
<br />
eric stahl was once on the cover of ea sport nhl and there simulation has picked the jets to win the cup this year also let it be known there are no shootouts in playoff hockey<br />
<br />
Go Mark! Assistant Captain #55<br />
He's got a nice watch! Nice billboard, Very Attractive<br />
<br />
Talk about us making it to the Stanley Cup<br />
"We're not counting our eggs before they hatch though"<br />
<br />
"They're like a Jet, their flying!" witty commentary...<br />
\<br />
Food is here! Thank you Spicy Noodle House<br />
<br />
Is this the same |Niederittter that i remember from cheering for \pittsburg. against New Jersey<br />
<br />
so the food was great and we are now into the second period. i kendra want to give my best wishes to the sedins. eric thought they were the ones with the sod farm, but that is the staals<br />
<br />
no score. there may be a perrault injury, we are unsure<br />
<br />
one of the staals is on minnesota. i've personally wondered about the possibility of going to a game somewhere else but have to renew my passport so may do that instead.<br />
<br />
great save for hellybuck 'we have a goalie' - jen funk<br />
<br />
noah is still wearing a pavelec jersey 'someone bought it for him'<br />
<br />
jen started laces out which i did too years ago and my laces are who knows where.<br />
<br />
discussion of the parise trade, gene reminds us it was parise and suter. when the spelling is wrong i will take the credit, kendra.<br />
<br />
excellent sour cream cookies. thanks jen for making dessert!<br />
<br />
Conner is going to score the first goal of the game, Tracey predicts. Jen is predicting Armia. we will take any Jet goal.<br />
<br />
Perrault may have injured his shoulder ~ tbd<br />
<br />
'We gotta a goalie!!!!'<br />
<br />
shots on goal are 20 to 14 for the Jets. the Wild seem to have a goalie too...<br />
<br />
Winnipeg goes on the power play. We all feel it's gonna happen here!<br />
<br />
And then it happened! JETs score!!!! Scheiffle (Dale Hawerchuk 2.0) for the goal!<br />
GOAL!<br />
<br />
45 secs left in 2nd period. Whiteout is bringing the noise. Waiting 37 minutes, but we got there<br />
<br />
SPICY NOODLE HOUSE for the win. Peanut soup was certainly a crowd pleaser.<br />
<br />
Grab onto Trouba<br />
<br />
There goes the 2nd period siren. Just in time goal. Not a late goal. Just in time. Peanut Butter pretzel chocolate bar is popular, but many of us feel too sweet. Dark chocolate is the way to go.<br />
<br />
hellybuck is now the number one willing golie as an american beaating Tom Barrso who I belive won the cup 2 years in a row for Ittsburg back in the 90s This feels like a good sign.<br />
<br />
Golden Nights and kings play tonight as well<br />
<br />
15:45 left in the 3rd<br />
<br />
2:1 jets :(<br />
<br />
Room is quiet...<br />
<br />
SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Patrick Laine the predator he is!<br />
<br />
Tied Game, an almost goal.<br />
<br />
matt cullen is turning 42 this year. He has three sons and is a Scorpio. today's horoscope - problems with long term relationships,unable to take a relationship seriously, but only you can decide if this relationship is a true match<br />
<br />
10:30 left in the third<br />
<br />
A shot to the slot comes up empty.<br />
<br />
Pittsburgh is crushing the flyers, 7-0.<br />
<br />
Why are some people not wearing white? How hard is that? You can afford $800 tickets, but not a $4 t-shirt from Old Navy. Sad!<br />
<br />
Shout out to the Winky-Hills tonight, who sadly could not attend Bad backs. The struggle is real.<br />
<br />
Morrow gets the go ahead goal!!!! 7:13 to go! To Morrow, it seemed pretty simple.<br />
<br />
Crowd is alive and chanting Go Jets Go! Taunting the Wild goalie.<br />
<br />
Koybu is a fantasy player for Kendra. he's quite a good player. But not that good.<br />
<br />
Wheres my jersey? i thought this ticket came with a jersey?<br />
<br />
Need a Wheeler goal.<br />
<br />
2:30 mark Net blown off its anchors. hoping there will be a call here. referees are discussing.......<br />
everyone is very concerned. Noah was either named after the biblical noah, or the guy from ER or a Flyers player. Noah and his brood actually repopulated the Earth.<br />
<br />
<br />
EMPTY NET! 2:18<br />
<br />
discussion on icing.<br />
<br />
time out<br />
<br />
oh, GOD! Tension. Excitement. shots on empty net going just wide.<br />
<br />
Jen Funk is for sure going to a play off game. Absahfuckin'lootly. Technifuckingcality<br />
<br />
kcing icing icing icing<br />
<br />
JETS WIN!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
See you next game!! Love to all.<br />
<br />
<br />

Rebecca, matt and new nervoustime member baby Charlie are on the way. The snack spread we have looks delicious many of us are doing new eating themes and so it all looks like healthy also.<br />
<br />
Some things discussed so far are there is an Austrialian player in the league now. His name is Nathan Walker and he's playing for the Capitals. and my fave player lovejoy [who I like for the name alone] is on the devils. There are ricotta cookies which I am going to try one.<br />
<br />
Jen Funk has a cold so she is not allowed to hold the baby today. Great Spread for the potluck. So much food.<br />
<br />
End of first period. No score. Second period. Jen: 'dancing in the corner... dancing in the corner....2 minutes for hugging....' All coats down. Enstrom down. All Bratts fault. Trevor and eric now need to add 'new coat hooks' to their to do list. Jets scored! Kyle Conner.<br />
<br />
Best quote so far: 'don't decide on whether or not to send dink pics based on what your mom says'. And that was not the reason noah exceeded his data plan in 5 days. Goal 2 Ehlers. Apparently the Devil's shot that hit the cross bar went in the net. 2-1. <br />
<br />
Trouba added a 3rd. He has one heck of a wrist shot. And minutes later, another jets goal. 4-1. It's a new team in town. <br />
<br />
now it's 5-1 discussion of star wars. many of us have also heard good things about the tv show fargo. Kendra loves the new taylor swift album<br />
<br />
what a team though, these jets are - we went through the four losses, Toronto, Columbus, Edmonton and vegas. what a dream that we can remember them. noah had mentioned his luck of being at the game before claude noel was fired and then another game where the leafs fired their coach the next day.<br />
<br />
vanessa voted this the best nervoustime spread we have ever had - oh yeah so those fruit trays with dip, we wondered if anyone has ever seen the dip go, most of us just eat the fruit.<br />
<br />
I would like to do a quick plug for the Bruce oake treatment center and how there is a petition to have it go in st james that I think is a good idea.<br />
<br />
also hello to my neighbor joe who is at the game.<br />
<br />
jen is reading all books on her shelves before borrowing a book from anyone, I have thought of that as well.<br />
<br />
jen ' I think if the rapture happened noah and I would be left'<br />
<br />
nj goal 5-2, from the crease<br />
<br />
darcy not hear but his 'what is the crease for' comment is raised and one of the dogs started growling.<br />
<br />
the only person in the room who doesn't have Instagram is gene. you can see our pic of Charlie on Rebecca's account.<br />
<br />
Rebecca 'I called it. Twitter is dead'<br />
<br />
none of us really use twitter. but Rebecca gets emails when I like something on twitter. I go on twitter once a week and like everything Dave Cain tweeted and apparently Rebecca is notified by email.<br />
<br />
Charlie the nervoustime baby has pooed every day for three days, 'that's blog worthy'.<br />
<br />
we would like the ricotta cookie recipe, eric.<br />
<br />
2 minutes left in the 3rd. Do the Devils know they will be in the Santa Clause parade later? Hockey superstition: If you touch the Stanley Cup, you will never win it. Jen has taken a photo of herself with the cup-keeper; this pic is not on twitter.<br />
<br />
Jets win. Go Jets go! Discussion of Snow vs. the hip. There's more than one Snow song??<br />
<br />
We really all loved the snow song 'everybody wants to be like you' and i listened to on the way home<br />
<br />
Love nervoustime<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

I just spoke with my neighbour who thinks Pittsburgh will win tonight with the right bounce or a little luck, I think Nashville will win tonight and don't mind if either wins, for Nashville we love PK Subban and of course for Pittsburgh there is Crosby and nervoustime faves Malkin and who doesn't want to see Ron Hainsey win a Stanley cup.<br />
<br />
But really I haven't watched a single playoff game (I spent some playoff time in Myanmar, here is one photo below) and this post is just a reminder to go outside and to let everyone know the nervoustime crew will be back next year hopefully with more to say.<br />
<br />
Beauty on, xo<br />

<br />
Hi from Ste. Anne Manitoba. Jen and Darcy are back from down under and hosting the crew at their rural homestead. Rebecca, Matt, Eric, Trevor, Jen, Darcy, Tracey, Gene and myself, Kendra are all in attendance.<br />
<br />
'there is a band playing tonight at the Ste Anne hotel'.....<br />
<br />
we have the game paused because it took awhile to come together. We did acknowledge this is our first blog since the election of Donald Trump.<br />
<br />

<i>Slater Jim we miss you xo</i><br />
<br />
Discussion of whether or not a goalie can receive a penalty. Verdict? Yes. Something about a Trapezoid rule. Seems bogus because the goalie doesn't actually serve it. <br />
<br />
Smoko has strong feelings about someone. Turned out to be prophetic, as Smoko was right on the money.<br />
<br />
That one player is unreasonably tall for a hockey player. 6'9". And what kind on name is that anyway? Serbian?<br />
<br />
Food was EPIC. Shoutouts to the Pakora from Charisma, which Eric feels would be a good name for a gay bar, but isn't sure why.<br />
<br />
The sartorial Don Cherry wore a white suit emblazoned with black moustaches. Very editorial. Must be a Movember thing. Don Cherry says you can't beat guys from WPG for toughness. Scar prevention tip of the night, "Rub some cocoa butter on that and it'll come right out."<br />
<br />
Tracey tells us about Pilot Mound's senior citizen fundraising calendar and the oldest model is in his 90s. "We need to get that to Don Cherry to plug on his show". <img alt="Doug Collins, 68, posed in his corn field for the calendar.

WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT: wait. No.<br />
<br />
Finding Dory is "very nice".<br />
<br />
Question: is it impolite to "lean" while at a hockey game? Someone asked Grant to lean back at the Tuesday game. "Unbelievable."<br />
<br />
2nd period. back to matters at hand. According to Matt the 1st period was "flazédah". Marchand: everybody hates him. "Little ball of hate."<br />
<br />
Boston scores. Beleskey with the first goal of the game. 1:0 Bruins. Silver lining of it all is that the organ player is incredible.<br />
<br />
4 minutes into the period and the announcer is wayyy negative: "what a conundrum".<br />
<br />
Talking about Hellebuyck and the names we call him: Clutterbuck, Huckleberry, Knuckleberry, Clutternuts.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?id=491973&catid=35">Spelling bee time. </a>This period has been a bit lack lustre. Jets power play but nothing.<br />
<br />
Marchand scores and Boston leads 2:0. I'm blaming Ste Anne's internet for losing a bunch of blog content that will forever be lost into the ether. RIP blog content. It's getting scrappy.<br />
<br />
There's been another Boston goal- Bergeron scores. Will Clutternuts get the nod?<br />
<br />
27 - 7 shots on goal. Discussion of lowest shots on goal in a game. We consult the internet:<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">"I really have no idea but I once saw a game where one team only had 7 shots on goal. That was quite freakish but it wasn't in the NHL it was in the SEL"</span></li>
<li><div class="postbitmessage" id="post_message_19642454">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Toronto was held to 6 shots on goal once in the playoffs vs. New Jersey.<br />That's the lowest I can think of, and I believe is the record for a playoff game."</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Consensus on Reddit is that 6 shots is the record.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sorry Jets, this has become a pretty boring hockey game as Rebecca has mentioned regarding the shot, Jen blogging now.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Discussion on whether we should go to the spelling bee sometime at the Good Will. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now this guy has just strolled in and scored a goal. 4-0 We would like them to pull the goalie but it looks like. Time to get Clutternuts back in there.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The announcers have actually stopped calling the play at5:12 left in the third. But we now have shots in the double digits. It could be that the Jets are trying to lull Rask asleep in order to score a goal. "there called microsleeps" Eric. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Holy cow! It worked. I highly doubt the sleep of Rask with come again for the last 2 minutes though.</div>
<div>
Legible autographs or good penmanship is a great quality.</div>

<br />
so begins, hopefully, the start of a better era here at nervoustime. hello from arlington. we have some pizza here, our delivery guy had a positive attitude, rebecca has a new amazon fire stick and it's 2-0 pittsburgh.<br />
<br />
This definitely brings back memories of the first year of nervoustime when pittsburgh won the cup.<br />
<br />
we don't even know who scored because we spent the first period focusing on our relationships, 'we had to catch up.'<br />
<br />
but here we are. rebecca is engrossed in dairy queen cake options and we are pretty sure don cherry is cheering for the penguins. here he goes chirping about canadians. what does don cherry think about hockey teams that don't have winter, i wonder.<br />
<br />
ron tells it like it is 'san jose has 11 canadians, pittsburgh has 9'<br />
<br />
san jose scores<br />
<br />
have you seen malkins parents, anyone ?<br />
<br />
'they are really active on facebook......<br />
<br />
great pizza combo - jalepeno and sausage, what a dream!<br />
<br />
rebecca loves big joe and little joe so we both agree this series is a win win.<br />
<br />
the arenas look so big compared to ours. 'it's so hard to get out at the end of the night' - i can comment that in new york there is lots of room in the madison square garden and tons of washrooms.<br />
<br />
second period and rebecca is doing a collage.<br />
<br />
consensus on the penguins uniforms are 'too much like boston' and 'even a little nashville.'<br />
<br />
great description of 'a human pinata'<br />
<br />
oh right, eric fehr is playing!<br />
<br />
marleau scores! we had him on our fantasy hockey team!<br />
<br />
final thoughts! hope we get to a full game sometime in the playoffs. 'the newscasters should have playoff beards'<br />
<br />

<br />
'i don't think we have blogged all year so we have a lot to catch up on' - rebecca<br />
<br />
this is kendra and rebecca watching the blackhawks / blues game seven, we just ordered burittos from skip the dishes and are waiting for our courier to be matched.<br />
<br />
what a year of highs and lows, terrible year it turned out for the jets and andrew ladd, former captain and new dad has a chance for a stanley cup. i am certainly cheering for him and if the blackhawks are eliminated tonight may not watch another playoff game.<br />
<br />
we have lots of chips and sauces on the way.<br />
<br />
i can't watch the blues without remembering the time i was in st. louis watching them play anaheim and the most animated the crowd got was when there was a blimp dropping down mcdonalds coupons and the crowd was chanting 'we want big macs'<br />
<br />
i guess the blues don't have a lot of luck with playoffs, here is a great destroyer song 'your blues'<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qALk1umTGWQ" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qALk1umTGWQ</a><br />
<br />
Our courier has been matched - Anikkunle - we are their 1157th delivery - totally the Jagr of Skip the Dishes, what a vetran.<br />
<br />
It is too bad about Jagr, I would have liked him to win another Stanley Cup however I still believe hockey shouldn't be played in any area that doesn't have winter.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure if we ever mentioned Rebecca's cat Smoky but she is totally lovely and here for the game.<br />
<br />
first actual game related comment 'great voice' on the anthem singer.<br />
<br />
they did a shot of the arch which is actually fantastic.<br />
<br />
2-0 blues. yuck. our food is here and we will likely go to bed early.<br />
<br />
have a great playoffs everyone!<br />

<br />
Jets currently undefeated and I'm wondering what their longest season start streak was.....<br />
<br />
Matt's friend Kyle arrived wearing a jets jersey (33 Buff). <br />
<br />
rebecca has created a spreadsheet reflecting astrological signs of the current top fantasy players....this is available to all nervoustime fans if you comment - we can get this to you. we are also thinking of getting an email address. She has discovered Roman Josi (Nashville) who is actually quite the babe...and a gemini. <br />

Eric has arrived with news that the liquor store is open. The cat also came into the living room! Discussion of the new 3-3 overtime. discussion of mark stuart 'all about the community"<br />
<br />
it's 1-0 for the islanders. apparently the jets have been doing well in the second periods this season so let's see what happens.......i wonder how michael frolik is doing...<br />
<br />
power play coming up. thank goodness the ref is wearing number 27 as the goal looks like it has been waived off / what is the yellow ribbon about? predictions of who will score for the jets, schifle, petan...<br />
<br />
another goal for the islanders...three points for john tavares. quick review of jim slater's adventures in switzerland, we miss you jim! schiefele scored, kyle called it. "he could be the next teemu" - rebecca on ehlers. <br />
<br />
Clutterbuck and Byfuglien just had the collision of the weekend. Buff's fine but Clutterbuck is in the dressing room. <br />
<br />
Regardless of what happens today, it was a great omen to win the first two games and you can sense the camaraderie on the ice this year between the Jets. <br />
<br />
"Clutterbuck sounds like a kids name" - Matt. "Well, at one time it was" - Eric <deadpan><br />
<br />
The Islanders have a great organ player story (and look at that organ!) We should really petition to get a real organ player in Winnipeg. <br />

Ladd with the tip for the goal! Or it might be Buff. 3:2 Islanders. Clutterbuck having issues with his skates. <br />
<br />
"That's the second time Clutterbuck has killed the energy after we scored. He's messing with us." - Eric. I really appreciate that kind of hockey insight. Don't you?<br />
<br />
3 minutes left and it's Nervoustime. Tavares with a penalty shot. PAVS WITH THE SAVE.<br />

"This would be a great game to win." Amen, sister. <br />
<br />
We just had a hell of a time ordering from Skip the Dishes. It was my first time ordering online because I don't trust the internet and I prefer to talk to real people over the phone when ordering curry. But there's a major silver lining - we can track the gps of our driver, who's named James. And we will be his 99th. I suggest we make him a sign in case he has a delivery before ours "Happy 100th Delivery, James!"<br />
<br />
Can we just talk about the electric energy in the arena on Tuesday night? The "Who's your captain" chant will go down in history. What a smart crowd we are. Poor Big Joe. Dude deserves the C. Seniority counts for shit in professional sports, doesn't it? I made a sign for Buff on St Paddy's Day but he wasn't playing so here it is, if you read our blog Buff this one's for you: <br />

This living room is a Ru-Paul-Drag-Race-spoiler-free zone because I haven't watched any episodes yet. Eric's talking about Carson Kressley and I'm ignoring him.<br />
<br />
It's been a scrappy period so far. Is Stuart hurt? #MarkStuart4Life Good penalty kill by the jets. Now we've got a power play and it doesn't matter. End of the 1st.<br />
<br />
We're waiting outside with the sign for James. He looks surprised, we get our soup, give him the sign. "Deep down, I think he appreciated that". We hope someone makes him a 100th sign at his next stop. <br />
<br />
Not including empty net goals, these two teams have only been playing 1 goal games "for the longest time" according to Dennis Beyak.<br />
<br />
The soup is outta this world. Tom Khat from Thida's. I can't describe it without using colours. <br />
<br />
Adam Lowry goes to the box "that was a bullshit call". Replay, okay maybe not. But uncharacteristic of Lowry. Usually an incredibly smart and articulate player. <br />
<br />
Captain Backes gets the 1st goal of the night and we couldn't be more upset over here. Reeves gives Halischuk a dirty hit to the head. Camera scans to Papa Reeves in the stand. At first we thought the camera guy might be racist, but they're related. It's cool, people.<br />
<br />
"Thorburn backforms"<br />
<br />
Trouba hits the post and that ping can be heard throughout the galaxy.<br />
<br />
St Louis has 3 players with birthdays on December 23rd. "That's a lot of Sag, man". No, it's Capricorn! Michalek, Oshie and Lehtera. In fact, over 25% of the team are Caps. Incredible, no wonder they're leading in the west. We have more feelings on our team. Lots of Aquarians. And that's fine by me. They would actually make great lovers, these two teams. "Instead of a shoot out they should have a scissor-off", Eric. "They are lesbian lovers?" <br />
<br />
Aside from the inappropriate commentary, this period is actually really exciting! TJ Oshie gets a shot and Pavs dives to make the save. Amazing save by Pavelec. Back in the other end, Scheifele with a short-handed chance. No goal yet by the Jets. Back to our end and Pavs saves the day. The crowd chants "Pavy, Pavy" and I love chants of encouragement.<br />
<br />
2nd intermission and we're going for a walk. <br />
<br />
It's beautiful outside, you guys. Poke your head out. Do it. The wind has lightened to 11km and I'd bet it's coming from the west now. <br />
<br />
4 minutes into the 3rd and it's sitting at 1:0 Blues. <br />
<br />
We're commenting on the new Dodge Caravan commercial with the mom giving her kids some hands-free attitude. "Naw ah, you can't come in the car you filthy children."<br />

There's a Passover movie coming out. About Moses. "And Batman?" "Adam West? I want to see Exodus starring Adam West", Ness.<br />

<br />
FU MAN DREW! Stafford ties it up with a beauty goal. We have a hockey game, ladies and gentlemen. "The hero of the moment" - hockey/love analogy. <br />
<br />
The crowd keeps chanting Pavy and my heart goes pitter patter. Who thought I'd be calling Pavs the underdog? Well, I am. And I'm rooting for him. <br />
<br />
Halischuk looks like he's been stuck in a bunker in the woods since he's been back. Amish much? THAT BEARD.<br />
<br />
31:19 hits for the Jets. There are those feelings coming through. <br />
<br />
Text from Jen Funk 66. <br />
<br />
Stempniak, our newest Aquarian, nearly got away with a get away. But the refs have stuck their whistles in their pockets. Are they paid OT? The clock is running out and we are going to the 4th period. <br />
<br />
Lots of chances, but it's all down to the goalies. Shootout. Nervoustime. <br />
<br />
Wheels: No.<br />
Oshie: Yes.<br />
Stafford: YEAH!<br />
Tarasenko: Denied.<br />
Ladd: YES!<br />
Steen: Game on the line, and Pavs with the most territorial save ever. <br />
<br />
JETS WIN. <br />
<br />
Everyone's packed up their leftover soup for lunch tomorrow. Btw, tomorrow March 20 there's going to be a solar eclipse AND a supermoon. New moon in Pisces and that's all good news for the Jets.<br />
<br />
Love, NervoustimeAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08645959406895031854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771401805357802992.post-54925989200848871412015-01-29T19:10:00.000-08:002015-01-29T19:14:57.285-08:00They're looking Beardy out there.Welcome to an impromptu meeting of the Nervoustime gang to Ste Anne, Manitoba!!<br />
<br />
Present tonight, Vanessa, Rebecca, Jen, Smoko(the dog), and Thunder and Francis (the cats).<br />
<br />
Shout out to Darcy at work, Kendra at home (who sadly had to cancel her visit), Eric in the air and all other nervoustime members with busy, busy lives.<br />
<br />
Almost 5 minutes in the first period without a whistle. Maybe this will be a fast game. We've started late so are watching a little behind time. AS soon as we catch up we'll be making homemade pizzas. Seems like pizzas happen often when I invite people over to the house.<br />
<br />
Come guys. Hutchinson is in the net. No need for all the defensemen to also be in the net. Vanessa gets really pissed off when players try to sell being hit. Players at this level should not let this be a part of the game.<br />
<br />
Vandevelde scores. Not liking the chaos of the Jets defence so far.<br />
<br />
Andrew Ladd certainly is getting pretty beardy. Nothing on Thorburn's beard though.<br />
<br />
Sweet rebound as Mathieu Perreault ties it up!!<br />
<br />
Watching the Safeway Goal and win contest we are reminding that thanks to Mathieu someone was one goal away from winning a million dollars not so long ago. I feel like her first name was Gail. there we go. Gail Macdonald from Brandon.<br />
<br />
Let's talk about how great Chris Thorburn has been doing. 3 goals in the last 3 games. I'd say that his was the best line in the game against Pittsburg on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
Power play for Philly. Could have sworn the announcer just said 2 minutes for interference but no. It is of course interference.<br />
<br />
<br />
Great save Hutch, with 2 guys in your net. Probably couldn't even fit a puck in there.<br />
<br />
Mention of the all-Star game. We are all in agreement that it was the most boring game of hockey we've ever watched. Although I was trying to learn a new crochet technique for a border on a baby sweater so that was probably quite helpful.<br />
<br />
Wayne Simmons scores. I have never liked that guy. He's just always been a really dirty net player in my opinion.<br />
<br />
Jets powerplay!!! Goal Pereault. Apparently we haven't scored a powerplay goal since he's been gone. We sure are happy he's back.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Period 2 no purpose.<br />
<br />
The pizza distracted us mostly till now. 6 minutes left in the second. Just witnessed some Hutchison Gold on this recent penalty kill.<br />
<br />
It appears that Pavelac has put his laces back in. Very interesting. Whenever Pavelac is winning and not saving like a mad man, I like to shout, "Laces out Pavs, laces out." As support. What will I do now?<br />
<br />
We all may have just had a sing along in Buff's honour. "Every day I'm Byfuglien"<br />
I like when he passes the puck in front of Philliy's bench so they have to wait a couple more seconds to change shifts.<br />
<br />
Third period.<br />
<br />
If you know me you know I wear a Sweatshirt that has a bright orange crest on the left that says loser. I find that often when I wear a combination of my loser sweatshirt and Jets Jersey at the home games, we win. Vanessa suggests it's my superman Clark Kent Combo.<br />
<br />
Shoot. That was a gorgeous goal. alone in the slot. You really should never miss those.Way to Schenn. Fuck.<br />
<br />
Michael Hutchison saves the day and a big Buff moment. The fire is there. 14:37 left. A lot of nervoustime here.<br />
<br />
13:07 very aggressive penalty kill by Philly. Gosh when is the last time Wheeler, Little of Ladd scored a goal?<br />
<br />
2:28 and we're happy to see Perreault is still out there. Empty net. Damn. Another empty net goal.<br />
<br />
I feel like it would be a better ending at least if we could use this 1:21 to score a goal.<br />
<br />
Just realized it's our old goalie in net for the flyers. Ok. Game over. Oh no. Sorry it's Steve Mason. Never heard of him.<br />
<br />
Good night from Ste. Anne.<br />
<br />
Wait hold on. If I drop Denis Beyack's name people will thin I'm freinds with a god. Free shit here we come.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
we realize while we would regularly cheer for the blackhawks cheering for washington would be better as a jet fan. discussion of what a blackhawks jets playoff series could be like, 'could you imagine patrick kane in the city that much?"<br />
<br />
did anyone party with the new york islanders last night?<br />
<br />
no score and once again the question 'does this game count' was asked. we are checking the weather....it's seven degrees, extended forecast - on sunday it will be 15!<br />
<br />
eric has arrived and washington just scored. eric fehr!<br />
<br />
does this game count was asked again and karla and megan has arrived. 'i love that guy' - vanessa on ovechkin. shoutout to reuben and lois in courtsite, arizona.<br />
<br />
discussion of google plus. or circles or whatever and washington scored again. still the first period.<br />
<br />
power play<br />
<br />
and the hawks are on the board. assist by patrick kane and we are pleased to announce that patrick kane is now on our fantasy hockey team! we traded nathan mackinnon and our first round pick for next year but it was worth it.<br />
<br />
we would like to have a hockey rink in the empty lot and preston and arlington and for next year have arlington host the winter classic.<br />
<br />
jamie begins chanting 'crosby's better'<br />
<br />
patrick kane apparently arrived listening to the rick ross song 'big homie" . (none of us have heard this song but we will listen to it laer). <br />
<br />
apparently puff daddy is on that song though and tracey begins playing it. we don't like this song and are each making mix cds for patrick kane. karla's will start and end with 'call me maybe'<br />
<br />
washington penalty. <br />
<br />
don cherry's advice for the year ' love your stick'<br />
<br />
jen and becca like dc's suit. karla 'there are no good suits when worn by don cherry'<br />
<br />
who is this playing music, nobody knows.....we can't look it up because we are behind in the game and not able to check our phones., one guy in this band has the same touque as me (or beanie as michael would say - hey michael!).<br />
<br />
eric ' day time fireworks are a waste of fireworks'<br />
<br />
rebecca 'there are so many things wrong with this game. it's too warm, fireworks in the day time, who is this band'<br />
<br />
next year apparently we get the heritage classic and the we are planning out dream classic- six am, your parents drive you, (s o here are fireworks because it is sill dark) you can bring your own mug.<br />
<br />
karla brings a tray of meatballs and serves us each individually. eric 'I've can say i've never had a bad meatball'<br />
<br />
Jen Funk now blogging. Did you know that at the annual winter classic Winkworth fiesta whomever blogs also gets the best seat on the couch. Here's a holiday problem. There is too much delicious food on the table and we are all quite full.<br />
<br />
Reb here now. Lots of discussion right now about the World Junior championship. Just realized that tomorrow is Friday. Darn I thought I had one more day to do less.<br />
<br />
Discussion around vegemite and what the hell is mincemeat anyway. Back when there used to be suet in everything, ya know. Other weird things we've eaten.<br />
<br />
"I'm done trying new things" - Darcy's 2015 resolution.<br />
<br />
Dad (Greg) is getting Smoko some booties. She's hiding under the TV table but you're not invisible Smoko. We all see you. <br />
<br />
"They need to stop moving that camera around', Eric (who didn't drink last night). <br />
<br />
So far, it's been 6 minutes and Smoko has only 3 booties on. <br />
<br />
Booty fashion show! <br />
<br />
"Thanks for the pretzel socks, Rebecca". I never gave him socks. "Well, you're getting credit for the socks." If any of our readers have lost some pretzel socks, Eric has 'em. <br />
<br />
Smoko went out to try her booties and even though we're so excited for her, she's happy to have them off.<br />
<br />
2:2 tie game if anyone is interested. The video work is pretty lame. Are they using hand-held cameras?! Everyone likes the toques though. <br />
<br />
Jaime has an idea for a xmas holder decoration but that makes Kendra and I very nervous.<br />
<br />
We're very upset about the WFP Year in Review quiz. Where is Mr. Michaelchyshen?! This year's quiz is by Bart Kives and it looks like multiple choice. WTF WFP?! <br />
<br />
Versteeg looks uncomfortable. Getting consoled by his teammates.<br />
<br />
Chicago has more love to give than Montreal. As a team, at least.<br />
<br />
"Don't put your hand down there between those pillows", warning from Vanessa.<br />
<br />
Now Smoko is having her paws tickled. <br />
<br />
Rave reviews of Winnipeg's Cat Alert Lady, "quite the lady", according to Karla. <br />
<br />
REF CAM! who thought of That ?<br />
<br />
9 Minutes left in the third and everyones really happy that Darcey's finally agreed to take some leftovers to work. Also, at nine minutes remaining it seems the game could go either way....two very dangerous teams for sure. Megan announces that she doesn't want to offend anyone, but owning a house adjacent to someone in her family is NOT something she would do......what if her raspberry bushes became unruly ? <br />
<br />
five minutes left and we are caught up to the actual time - 2-2 is the score. i'm quite sure this will go to a shootout and we will get to see patrick kane at his best. karla is proudy wearing her carey price earnings.<br />
<br />
discussion of pillows. attachment appears strong.<br />
<br />
washington powerplay and jonathan toews is upset.<br />
<br />
broken stick but a goal anyways.<br />
<br />
capitals win which is good for jets fans, they all shake hands, we would like that at all games.<br />
<br />
happy new year love nervoustimemybrothergraemehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12613211982126266720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771401805357802992.post-41613256094941540912014-12-23T18:19:00.000-08:002014-12-23T21:57:41.169-08:00christmastime nervoustimehappy holidays from east st. paul!<br />
<br />
it's 2-0 jets vs blackhawks and we have a huge crowd assembled at eric and mike's parents., jen, darcy and smoko came from ste. anne, Michael came from Australia en route to Paris, Trace made the trek from Tuxedo and the Wink Sisters, \Kenny g and \Jamie are also here. <br />
<br />
and the jets scored again = peluso 'the scrapper line' 'look at all those red shirts sitting down' 'when the fourth line scores a goal the team is fired up.<br />
<br />
goalie change already. daughter in the crowd holds up apology sign to her parents for missing Christmas in favour of going to this game. <br />
<br />
Well look at that. We all had a dose of chicken wings and nachos with layer dip and it's 3-0 some of us have seen all the action and some of us haven't.<br />
<br />
There is also a shrimp ring with someone's name on it. I see it being demolished in 10 minutes. But then again I'm not a fan of shrimp.<br />
<br />
Who are these guys, carrying the puck out of the zone and inviting the other team to ice the puck. And it's the end of the period. Man I missed the jets while I was in Australia. But I did meet a Detroit RedWings fan in Australia named Michael Jackson.<br />
<br />
Jamie Here. Well it must be that the jets realize how much we love them (and especially the Peluso, Thornburn and slater AKA the PST line ), or it could be the amazing spread of food that we have or maybe the awesome garage..... but anyway, the jets are look'n real hungry and.....and regardless, Jens description of her and her mans trip to Australia sounds great and I think the jets have a shot at the cup... for sure. <br />
<br />
M Wa. Jets 4-0 Black Hawkes Mattieu with his second. Have you seen the fourth line?? Kane to Hossa back of the net... Not their Kane. Our Kane. 4-1. F U brian munz. Hutch is looking solid after the goal against. Kendra thinks that P.Kane is dreamy.<br />
<br />
Beer spillage and overuse of paper towel to mop it up. If we didn't overuse paper towel, what would college kids do in the summer if not plant trees? Great end to the second period. Hutchinson with 2 HUGE SAVES!! Go hutchers! Froliky with a miss. Post outside.<br />
<br />
The dogs are finally friends... sort of. Smokey's growl is somewhat more friendly sounding and Louis is slightly less jumpy. It's the start of the 3rd and so full of delicious grub but would still donate my left kidney for a spicy rum on eggnoggy ice. Frolik Navidad! biran munz doesn't deserve capitals as per M Wa.<br />
<br />
Alrighty, Michael here. Fourth day in Canada and experienced my first hockey game 3 days ago. Experienced my fist snow yesterday and my first day in Winnipeg today. Jets are winning so it's clearly a good day. I've also learned that goalie sharing is a good thing. Never stop learning.<br />
<br />

Reuben and Lois will be heading south on Monday and have discovered that they will be following a cold front all the way down to Texas. I (their daughter) does not feel very sorry for them. But I do hope they get to the warmth soon.<br />
<br />
We're about to enjoy some beef stirfry and later tonight there'll be Maple Pumpkin Pie!! We grew that pumpkin!!<br />

Late start to blogging. We are over half way through and hoping the Jets will keep pushing and score a goal soon.<br />
<br />
Enjoying the game with some ice cold lemonade for NoDrinksvember. Did NOT have a SoberTober by any means. All St Anne and no beer make Eric...pretty good...I like it here.<br />
<br />
First we were shocked that Toby shot the puck, a few more minutes and Toby shoots again and scores.<br />
<br />
Apparently Anderson has been having a pretty good last few games.<br />
<br />
Reb typing now. Dinner was delicious!<br />
<br />
"Like the best love/hate relationship,without the love. a match made in heaven, without the heaven ."<br />
<br />
Okay let's talk about Kane. Scoring goals, winning fights, still an asshole. I'm not going to throw away my bootleg jersey quite yet. "I like that he's scoring goals but I don't like him as a person." Interrupted for Smoko cuddles.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Smoko likes to go for daily walks. She prefers neighbourhoods with trees so it's not so blustery. Jen is talking about buying a Winnie the Pooh song on iTunes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Those ice wine tongs looks suspicious. Frolik's been so close to scoring the last few games. Has he even scored this year yet? Yes, yes he has. One goal. Three assists. But really, Frolik is better than that.<br />
<br />
I'm hypnotizing Smoko like farmers and their chickens. Argument over whether Dumb and Dumber is a "classic". <br />
<br />
Reuben is sleeping. Maybe I'm hypnotizing everybody. Jen put her jersey on hoping to shift the energy in the room and on the ice. Somebody's gotta score.<br />
<br />
Jets power play but Anderson is having none of it.<br />
<br />
"I'm still drinking this beer and it's delicious" - J Funk. It's only a Radler by the way. Nearly beer. That was a shit power play.<br />
<br />
KITTY BREAK.<br />
<br />
The internet has decided to get a little bit sketchy now. Nobody likes the word "buffering" Maybe we should start using it somehow in reference to Byfuglien. Some people call him Buffy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
J Funk: I shouldn't say anything in order not to jinx it but the internet is once again working and so is Pavelec. #lacesout.<br />
<br />
I'd like to see a little more production from Scheifele. Let's see him score the next one.<br />
<br />
Please don't put advertising on the jersey's. We don't mind reebok since they actually make the jersey's. But if they put their brands on the jersey's will they be cheaper. As though they are subsidized.<br />
<br />
Just over 4 minutes left and this is serious nervoustime. Penalty killed. Go Jets Go!!! Just spotted the Jets suits hiding behind the bench!! at 2:10 remaining.<br />
<br />
Bring back Stompin' Tom in the third period! None of us have heard it in a while and it's kinda Canada's third national anthem.<br />
<br />
There it is!!!! Stompin' Tom taking us into overtime.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Overtime. Jets need to score now.<br />
<br />
The buffering stream is making this room incredibly dramatic. We all just held our breath for 17 seconds. Pavs with all the saves.<br />
<br />
Nobody is scoring. and so we're going to a shootout.<br />
<br />
Zabanejad up first: NO.<br />
Wheels: no.<br />
Karlsson: NOPE-ITY NOPE.<br />
Little: no luck.<br />
Turris: NO.<br />
KANE: nada<br />
<br />
Next round.<br />
Pecalec: no<br />
Ladd: no<br />
Legwand: nope<br />
Scheifele: no<br />
A player I don't know: no<br />
Perreault:WIN! SCORES THE WINNING GOAL! "Nice and easy"<br />
<br />
2:1 Jets you guys! <br />

<br />
Tracey discussing the bomber game. Karla "the cfl is so weird"<br />
<br />
Jamie comments that the jets need to start scoring.<br />
<br />
Description of "too hungover to cross portage" and tracey announces she has never bailed on an event but fell asleep at an Alanis morrisete at age 17.<br />
<br />
We all love the Scotia bank commercials<br />
<br />
Goal? Doesn't look like it. Jamie on Pelosi "soft hands"<br />
<br />
Schiefle scores and the bread sticks are out.<br />
<br />
Long discussion of Sidney Crosby and we remembered to Toews getting all those penalties and when Seabrook going over to him.<br />
<br />
Karla: surely winnipeg can beat the flames they are also terrible.<br />
<br />
<br />
Karla describes her experiences going to jets games "a bunch of drunk guys explaining things to other drunk guys"<br />
<br />
Megan mentions their friend alex who didn't believe the penalty box was a real thing.<br />
<br />
Jamie discusses the movie young blood and we playes guess the eighties heartthrob and I correctly identified rob Lowe. Jamie thinks hockey dramas are better than games "at least until the playoffs".<br />
<br />
Karla doesn't like the jets chants: "I prefer righteous cheering to spiteful booing"<br />
<br />
Discussion of thomson highway and our food is here.<br />
<br />
Discussion of commercials. "Usually Canadian tire, sometimes diamonds"<br />
<br />
Calgary scored but we are all going home soon.<br />

Anne CanadaJen Funk: We've been counting down the days and the puck is dropped. We missed watching hockey and just experiencing the joys of seeing our boys play hockey.<br />
<br />
Vanessa has just been smelling fantastic lately. I think it's that she comes over shortly after work freshly having showered the concrete dust off of her everyday. Yay electrician friends!
Enjoying my new found love of the Winnipeg Minnesota rivalry. I went to a game in Minnesota last year and had a wonderful time with the Minnesota fans. They are so friendly.<br />
<br />
Aside: Rebecca thinks they're start is a little slow paced. Looking for answers from Reuben. Nothing coming but I remind her that it's the first game of the preseason. Rebecca is also upset with the sloppy dress code. Pavs is still without laces and Byfuglien's crotch laces are also dangling.<br />
<br />
Back to it: I will once again be going to the November game against Minnesota and I hope it is just as much fun, but this time we have a win.<br />
<br />
Rebecca: This summer was really all about 'sticking to your guns'. There were few changes made to the team and we still have Stacey Nattress as our anthem singer. SO EXPECTATIONS ARE HIGH, PEOPLE.<br />
<br />
Currently gathered at Simplify: Jen, Nesse, Darcy, Reuben, Lois, Noah, Lauren and me (and all the animals).<br />
<br />
The light just went out in the greenhouse shelf. "Well, I guess the plants are done for the day". Jets power play. Cats are walking over the laptop.
Noah is mixing creamcheese for our dinner extravaganza and we are all excited.<br />
<br />
Thorborn and Bickel get into the first scrap of the year. My heart fluttered a bit when I see Thorbs for the first time this season. Bickel wins the fight. MATHIEU PERREAULT HELLO. He played in Helsinki and I can't help but wonder if he speaks Finnish. He also played in Anaheim last year and now I wonder if he might be friends with Teemu. I would bet $50 that he eats Panda licorice.<br />
<br />
Anywho let's move on. Pavs is looking pretty good. New mask? Yes. <br />

Wondering if the MTS Centre actually sold out tonight? The announcers are talking about the playoffs. The Jets have a horrible early-season history. These early games are the key to our success.
Speaking of success, Jen Funk has started an etsy page! And we want everyone to check it out: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/SimplifyFarm?ref=shopsection_shophome_leftnav">https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/SimplifyFarm?ref=shopsection_shophome_leftnav</a><a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/SimplifyFarm?ref=shopsection_shophome_leftnav"></a><br />
<br />
The pronunciation of "Ehlers" is a controversial subject in the living room right now. Jen compliments me on my typing skills (flattered).<br />
<br />
"I'm so happy to be wearing my jersey for the first time this season!" - Funk 66. I bet everyone on the ice has that exact same thought. These guys are living the dream. Ladd almost gets a goal before the end of the first period!<br />
<br />
Adam Lowry being interviewed and uses the word 'hindrance' so I'm rewinding this shit to the beginning. What a well-spoken, articulate hockey player. He's got the game in his blood.<br />
<br />
Dinner is served and it looks delicious: steak, salad and mushrooms. And there's creamcheese filled strawberries for dessert. Thank you Lauren and Noah! Time to eat.<br />
<br />
We've turned up the volume for the second period. Bryzgalov replaces Backstrom and Hutchison replaces Pavs - goalie shake-up. Enjoyed the crowd booing Bryzagalov. Jets fans are the elephants of the NHL. They never forget. Then the TV explodes with sound and we know somebody scored - it's Byfuglien with the first goal of the season. Didn't he get the first goal last season too? Frolik we've missed you so much. But he's got a penalty right now for hooking. Jets are always at their prime one man down (the underdog mentality). <br />
<br />
Pavs: "It's hard to stay focused after the summer".<br />
<br />
Jen Funk: Just an aside about dinner. I've helped my son and his girlfriend, move 3 times and tonight, out of the blue, they called me up to say they were thankful for our help and they were coming over to make us dinner. Everyday I wonder if I did an okay job as a mom and these are the moments that say, "Not that bad, Jen"<br />

Time for the third to start. I've just stoked the fire so it should be nice and cosy for those who are here and don't want to watch the game. Thank goodness we don't have newly designed reebok jerseys like the CFL. Rebecca is not a fan.<br />
<br />
Small discussion on Montoya going to the Panthers. Wondering about how the friendship might blossom with Luongo.<br />
<br />
Score!!! Little. Very sweet rebound. 2:0 Jets.<br />
<br />
Rebecca: Let's remember this feeling and recreate it.<br />
<br />
Who is #40 for the Wild? Because his name should be FAKER McFAKERSON. And now we've got a penalty: Morrissey. It's not your fault, Morrissey. Maybe the refs are new during the pre-season too.<br />
<br />
Noah: the dog whisperer.<br />
<br />
We're talking about visors and new equipment. Reuben says there never used to be nearly as many injuries back then. And "Gordie Howe used his elbows all the time. But not to the head".<br />
<br />
"Bump on Blum"<br />
<br />
Neno Neiderreiter is the best name that nobody can ever spell. All of a sudden there's a spelling bee going on in the living room and almost everybody can spell Rumpelstiltskin (which can also be spelled Rumplestiltskin). Origin: German. Used in a sentence: "If you can't guess the name Rumpelstiltskin, you lose your first born child."<br />
<br />
Our goalie was pulled (WTF). And even though the empty net goal was called off, Frolik is back in the penalty box. If I was a fan at the game right now, I'd be super pissed. Hutchison is back in and Bryzgalov is now on the bench. Minnesota scores but it's over and Jets win their first game that doesn't count!<br />
<br />
Good night. Love, Nervoustime<br />

<br />
1) salt - rebecca just recently made a bread our friend pam (@pamzig) had posted on instagram. i have also planned to make the bread. becca said to lessen the salt, i wanted to cut out the salt entirely but ness said 'if there are only four ingredients, use the salt, people always want to cut out salt so if you do stop eating cheetos<br />
<br />
2) grilled cheese night - we are eating multiple variations of this delicious treat tonight.<br />
<br />
3) taking photos of food - we still approve this lifestyle choice in fact, becca is taking photos of our sandwiches right now.<br />
<br />
4) mayoral elections: becca: 'we could all say who we are potentially voting for if we are comfortable with that. vanesssa "not informed" kendra "jwl" becca 'right now, i'm in between judy washa liotard and roubert oulette" yes, i agree,<br />
<br />
5) who was that guy who wanted to fucking shake up city hall?<br />
<br />
6) can we just say how atrouciously tacky it was how gord steeves kaiboshed judy's campaign office? did you see it? <br />
<br />
7) who is doing gord steeves' public image campaign is becoming as mysterious as who is buzz or bomber or who is goldie's sister<br />
<br />
8) hockey, 'i like having my own offseason' says rebecca 'i am unimpressed we didn't make any bold moves. it hasn't been on my mind....'<br />
<br />
9) and...'i wish kane was gone'<br />
<br />
10) (kendra notes) it's important for people that i date to be on the same page as this kane thing.<br />
<br />
11) rebecca: JOKINEN WAS TRADED ON A FINNISH HOLIDAY<br />
<br />
12) discussion of trip to anaheim for teemu's retirement. early jan, we have an inn on an all inclusive.<br />
<br />
13) suddenly vanessa is talking about bad religon whows in spain, wishing they would come here<br />
<br />
we love you xoxoxo see you in the fall<br />
<br />

<br />
greg notes rumours that we may get richards. nothing much on the power play. we are turning on a light. the rangers are trying 'why are they so afraid to backhand'<br />
<br />
saw a commercial for tammy, i wonder where the guy is from.....he is the midwife from mindy project. oh yeah, we have had this discussion about who 67 is for the rangers, right...also i can't seem to find the question mark key on this laptop, apologies to any puncuation enthusiasts who happen to read this blog.<br />
<br />
rangers pushing through and helping lundqvist out but not scoring, three mins left in the period.<br />
<br />
greg says he was out of his crease and there shouldn't have been a penalty and one of my fave rangers, benoit pouliout in the box.<br />
<br />
la power play. i still thought gaborik was a ranger. muzzin always sounds like a nickname. drew doughty on the way to the box which is my favorite place to see him. greg 'coaches don't like that. you have a power play and get a penalty'.<br />
<br />
'if you told me 20 years ago the stanley cup was going to los angeles i wouldn't have believed it. they don't play hockey in california'<br />
<br />
ramgers power play now, only 1-18 in the series and it looks like the period is done.<br />
<br />
movie commercial comes on, shoutout to the globe cinema. it's been so great to see movies over the years. vanessa is not getting nail polish on the rug. <br />
<br />
we missed coaches corner. greg 'it wasn't that good.' we also ordered pizza. megan switched to water. so responsible.<br />
<br />
i always forget how refreshing salsa is.<br />
<br />
apparently megan and karla's new place is where the girl who's wedding becca and ness are going to tomorrow used to live, full circle.<br />
<br />
'every time they say kevin kline i think of a fish called wanda'<br />
<br />
confidence, the word of the day for lundqvist. 'i think lundqvist is a very confident guy'.<br />
<br />
maybe staal and mike richards grew up together.<br />
<br />
still think thunder bay should join manitoba and apparently jonathan toews is back in town. oh 67 is pouliot.<br />
<br />
im not a fan of late hits. 'that was a defensive breakdown'<br />
<br />
greg had a mcdonalds milkshake today 'i don't know how that came about'.<br />
<br />
they actually have a poster of drew doughty at my mcdonalds on henderson i have gotten coffee there a couple times this week. it's cheap cheap coffee and quite good. 'if you pounded on the glass like that in winnipeg you would be out'<br />
<br />
ten mins left in this period and still 1-0 who is going to score next, megan, ness and i all think st. louis, greg agrees. but then says for the kings if someone scores is doughty. vanesssa doesn't believe you can pick two, greg starts talking about don cherry, vanessa 'your first choice was st. louis, if it was a game show, your first choice would be your final answer.'. megan 'that's good life advice' \hockey love analogy\; your first choice.<br />
<br />
there was a chance. pizza is here!<br />
<br />
first time i have heard someone mention rick nash this game.<br />
<br />
AS WE WERE GETTING PIZZA THE RANGERS SCORED.<br />
<br />
<br />
la power play to end the second. none of us believed it was a penalty. 'look at what they didn't call.' the pizza was great and the rangers scored again! shorthanded!!! now greg can go to sleep happy. boyle<br />
<br />
i kind of think all the rangers look the same, 'its amazing what a beard will do for you' 'i got to watch the 24/7 on them so i feel much closer to the rangers'<br />
<br />
second over 2-1 rangers.<br />
<br />
greg asked who is going to win this game, megan 'definitely new york. la can't win, they are too horrible'. ness points out that alain vignault deserves to win a stanley cup and i am again apologizing for the spelling. <br />
<br />
greg is staying up for the game but 'not for the overtime' - hopefully there is no overtime.<br />
<br />
'these guys are getting as whiny as soccer players. did you see that guy from mexico. he acted like he was dying but when you see the replay that wasn't the case.'<br />
<br />
there is such a thing as ethics. but if you bite down hard you can draw blood and it's three extra minutes. i think that happens. people do anything to win\\<br />
<br />
desparation. like right now. you are at home and you have a chance to win 'that's why la is the worst. they dont deserve to win'<br />
<br />
we are all excited for seven am sleep ins tomorrow. that kings rush was crazy<br />
<br />
penalty coming. oh no gaborick scored and the game is tied. ness 'don't celebrate too much'. i hate him. from the minnesota northstars when he played for them against vancouver i have hated him ever since. so much that i won't even wikipedia search the correct spelling of his last name although i know he is slovakian and a guy i met in bratislava really loves him and i don't condone that.<br />
<br />
but seriously? greg wants to be in the penalty box with the players. megan tells the story of how their friend alex non hockey fan didn't even know the penalty box was real and was surprised to see it for the first time.<br />
<br />
greg - where is robert de niro.<br />
<br />
it should have been anaheim so we could be wondering where snoop dogg is, edit\; snoop lion.<br />
<br />
where are the la kings fans who watched any games during the regular season. 'also true'<br />
<br />
haglien has great hair tho. 'skating in desparation'<br />
<br />
i am just glad i am not an la kings fan.<br />
<br />
'i bet that couple in the crowd didn't watch hockey four years ago'<br />
<br />
megan 'me and karla didn't either....'<br />
<br />
megan and karla got into hockey together in 2011, megan 'i was unemployed. it was something karla really wanted to do.' i , karla's sister have been watching hockey with her since the early 90s. she was born in 85. i remember watching late night hockey night in canada when we lived in new brunswick, it was the best way to be allowed to stay up late.<br />
<br />
we all want to go to sleep. please no overtime. when regular time is over we turn it off and wait until tomorrow, asks greg, 'lets have a pact'<br />
<br />four minutes left. discussion of a chemical in bread and yoga mats. 'it lasts forever' this is a perfect time for a st louis goal tho. right.<br />
<br />
three mins left. next game is monday. fathers day is off. happy fathers day to nervoustime dads greg winkworth and jp smith peloquin! we love you two!!!!! and clancy mcdonald, kings fan yet loved by us all. 'clancy has many redeeming qualities his taste in hockey teams is not one of them' and that was almost a goal.....vanessa 'i really want the rangers to score instead of the kings'.<br />
<br />
the thing with overtime is it could be a minute or three hours. we will leave this up to you fans to figure it out. love, nervoustme.....xoxomybrothergraemehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12613211982126266720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771401805357802992.post-60117465478966299312014-06-11T19:59:00.001-07:002014-06-11T19:59:47.408-07:00kendra's hope for the rangers....hey, it's kenny go blogging solo and i watched the first two periods with anna, megan and killa cam drinking moscato (three cheers to megan and thanks to deluca's for being open until eight). we all agreed to cheer for the rangers which was different from game two where megan's dad surprisingly cheered for the kings. there are kings fans in any family, i guess. i personally feel the kings deserve very little other than a trip to the beach, i even bought a bright blue blazer today as a shoutout to the san jose sharks (love you guys).<br />
<br />
but good quotes from the night,<br />
<br />
anna, on dustin brown:<br />
what an asshole face<br />
<br />
cam, on the coaches corner theme song:<br />
'is this america's funniest home videos'<br />
<br />
nancy, returning from home depot:<br />
<br />
'is the game still on?'<br />
<br />
really, i don't believe a stanley cup should be won without the whole nervoustime crew together and that lundqvist is a better goalie.<br />
<br />
i watched game one and had a roomate at the time who came home after overtime and his hello entrace was 'fuck the kings!" which made me realize he was a great room-mate"<br />
<br />
i guess i feel martin st. louis deserves both a stanley cup and for generations to follow to name their children after him.<br />
<br />
i haven't really watched any hockey at all these playoffs as i have been away but i am cheering against the kings as they beat chicago and who wouldn't want a 3-0 deficit comeback in a final. and i think the rangers can do it.<br />
<br />
AND THEY WIN THE DREAM IS STILL ALIVE.mybrothergraemehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12613211982126266720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771401805357802992.post-58436141455400672782014-05-30T21:33:00.000-07:002014-05-30T21:33:08.940-07:00Game 6 - Chicago @ LA live from Ste Anne's MB: Campfire EditionRebecca reporting live from JenFest 2014. Watching the game with Reuben and Vanessa outside.<br />
<br />
Doughty just scored 2 minutes ago to tie up the game 2-2. And less than 2 minutes later Martinez scores to bring it up to 3-2 LA.<br />
<br />
Reuben declares the game over, upset, and walks away.<br />
<br />
I am cheering for LA. My hair is down.<br />
<br />
The rest of the crew are sitting fireside which would be the smarter option because the skeeters are horrible tonight. And they are LOVING this computer screen right now.<br />
<br />
We ate some great meat and salads. Jen Funk is already tipsy. We've sent selfies to non-strangers. It's all okay.<br />
<br />
10pm. The sunset was incredible tonight. Sandhill cranes whooping in the background. Shots of bourbon. Everyone is happy.<br />

Eric and Lois walk by. Eric just cut his hair for the first time in 10 years (he looks fantastic). Lois just had to let Sue's baby go. Grandma's love babies: fact. <br />

Smoko ate a whole chicken breast "that must have fallen off the table", according to J Funk.<br />

Big thanks to Reuben for BBQing all our chicken. What a mensch.<br />

Lois and Reuben come to check out all the commotion. Smoko, too. "I don't know how she got that chicken".<br />

Darcy and Reuben are mysteriously absent. "It's DARK", J Funk. "They're making me nervous now. What are they doing". NERVOUSTIME!<br />

We were just treated to half price fire works. It was incredible. "Pretty good side of the highway bus fireworks". "Compared to Steinbach?" "I thought they were at least as good as gas station fireworks".<br />

Rene is singing the anthem."My favourite", Vanessa.<br />
<br />
Scrappy right from the puck drop. This series is sitting at 2-2.<br />
<br />
Something about the most famous burrito in the history of burritos (Fraser reference?)<br />
<br />
Brad Marchand flings a stray Canadien's helmet down the ice. Which is a classic Marchand move. "Montreal wishes they could fling Marchand's helmet down the ice...but with Marchand's head in it" - announcer. WHAT. THE. FUCK? What kind of thing is that to say?! <br />
<br />
Vanessa declares that whoever wins this game will win the series. <br />
<br />
Carl Soderberg gets Boston on the score board. 1:0. <br />
<br />
Shout out to Kendra in Serbia (from where we've coincidentally had 2 blog views this week)!<br />
<br />
Rask has been run over. Net's off, fans booing, whistles blowing, MAYHEM. Powerplay Montreal.<br />
<br />
Just got back from Ste Anne's where we helped J Funk plant 4 kinds of beets, 2 kinds of peas and some parsnips. Vegetables are like snowflakes. I am apparently not too shabby at hoeing. I have a sunburn. #GingerProblems<br />
<br />
"Too hot to handle" puck-handling/love analogy.<br />
<br />
Boston arena is playing The Darkness "I Believe in a thing called love" which just makes me love Boston even more. 2 min left in the 1st. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Montreal players are sharing their sticks now. Y'know I've really come to appreciate the camaraderie between the Canadien players. These guys really like each other and you can tell on and off the ice.<br />
<br />
But there is very little love between these two teams tonight. Plekanec wants to fight Miller. That results in a penalty. End of the 1st.<br />
<br />
It's a circus outside on Arlington this evening. Everyone is outside soaking up the sunshine. You'd think we'd all been cooped up for 8 months waiting for spring to arrive...oh wait. That's exactly what has happened. EVERYBODY IS SO HAPPY because of this weather. Snare Drum Steve is welllll into his 12th beverage of the night, Adrian is washing his bike, Jay is having a man-huddle with his buddies in the outdoor living room, people are BBQing all over the place, guy with guitars, reggae music is being played in 50% of the vehicles driving by. Anyway, it just goes to show that Winnipeg is at its best when we can wear shorts.<br />
<br />
Start of a new period and the start of a new season. <br />
<br />
Reilly Smith with the 2nd goal of the night! 2:0 Boston. <br />
<br />
There are more penalties being handed out this game than the first 4 games of the series combined. <br />
<br />
Plakenec just can't keep his hands to himself and he's back in the box. Puts his feet up, he's getting comfortable. And IGINLA scores! 3:0 Boston.<br />
<br />
Announcers talking about how the Smith mom would text both Reilly (Boston) and Braden (Detroit) good luck messages before their games. Just like our mom doesn't pick sides when Vanessa and I are rooting for different teams.<br />
<br />
The Little Ball of Hate gets a penalty (questionable). And the game has shifted. Montreal is back. Plakenec scores. 3:1 Boston. <br />
<br />
End of the 2nd and I'm leaving the premises to buy a paper. One of my favourite parts of the week is when I ritualistically complete the weekend crosswords (starting with the easy, moving onto New York Times, finishing with soduko, ALWAYS in pen).<br />
<br />
Back to the game, it's even more beautiful outside, my sunburn is intensifying as the temperature cools, Price looks ready for business.<br />
<br />
Chara and his long stick. Swinging that sucker around.<br />
<br />
GOAL! "It's that Fraser kid again!" 4:1 Boston. The crowd is going wild "We want the cup". Well doesn't everybody, really?<br />
<br />
2 minutes left and Subban scores, ricochet off the post and hey, you never know right? (I know). 4:2 Boston. Montreal pulls Price with 1:30 left to go. Thornton squirts his water bottle from the bench at PK as he skates by, that's some nasty high-school-level shit, Thornton! "All the antics of the game".<br />
<br />
It's sealed. Boston leads 3-2 in the series.<br />
<br />

<br />
'jay thinks it's going to be a colorado boston stanley cup' - shoutout to jay and just so you know we are smoking inside because it's raining.<br />
<br />
we'd like to give our support to the LA clippers. 'sterling is a racist and deserves to be publicly humiliated.' also pk subban. anyways.<br />
<br />
there was a hockey musical on cbc sunday night, 'i was in the kitchen and thought i heard a song about hockey. i came in and there were two teams dancing on their skates. i taped it.'<br />
<br />
two minutes left. time out. lundqvist is playing. we are wondering if he was put in after the one goal? now one min left and philly is taking their timeout. forty secs.<br />
<br />
icing against the rangers and 12 seconds left. icing again. 2.7 seconds left. well, what could the hawks do with that kind of time?<br />
<br />
the face off is at center ice tho. 'first hybrid icing of the playoffs' and we aren't sure what hybrid icing means, refs don't agree? rangers win.<br />
<br />
next game, please.<br />
<br />
COLORADO SCORED but here comes a wild penalty. also: we are bringing out snacks. so far so good, like the penalty was killed. i feel i need to give a shoutout to this guy jamie i had a crush on in grade nine who was a huge nordiques fan. the truth is i don't even remember his last name, but thanks j - i hope you are well and watching this game, although it's new brunswick time so hopefully also you don't have to work as early as becca and i do in the morning.<br />
<br />
and this is your early warning that we may not finish blogging this game.<br />
<br />
isn't it nice tho to wake up to a score you like. and if it is a score you don't like, at least you have a full day ahead of you, ready for many great opportunities.<br />
<br />
next week i am travelling to europe. any readers in the balkan area please get in touch. i will be wanting to watch hockey at anytime. stoked also to visit king's landing. i am considering tho not going to either kosovo or albania. any suggestions are welcomed.<br />
<br />
i'm surprised that people like minnesota. rebecca is surprised i bought seven dollar crackers. and koivu scored! we have him on our reg team but none of us picked him in the playoffs.<br />
<br />
lol they call that guy 'el nino'. i would try to spell his name but you know who i mean right?<br />
<br />
our snacks are delicious. pinapple, pickles, cheese, crackers and spanikopita coming up! <br />
<br />
Jamie McGinn scores and Colorado is up 2:1 i remembered the guys last name who i had a crush on, it was brown. jamie brown, hope you are enjoying this lead.<br />
<br />
so mackinnon and landeskog have been absent from the scoring sheet, i think and there is one min left in the first.<br />
<br />
becca announces there has been goaltender interferrance in every game she has seen in these playoffs and encourages me to go to costco to buy crackers. pam texts that she is going to europe in september and we have switched to the sharks kings game. becca is going for la. she has quick as a goalie on her fantasy team 'that is notwithstanding'. i am going for the sharks. i was actually in this arena for a sharks game. 'a third of the fans are wearing black, a third are wearing teal and a third are wearing white.'<br />
<br />
the tsn mid game coverage is overstating everything we feel. they just called if the kings beat the sharks 'the greatest collapse in the history of the nhl.' we disagree. other possible greatest collapeses: the jets leaving, the first lockout, the second lockout, teppo numminen being fired as assistant coach of the buffalo sabres. understand? this series, doubtful.<br />
<br />
for the second time tonight i have reminded becca to check the oven.<br />
<br />
my fave san jose shark is tommy wingels.<br />
<br />
they are saying parise wrong and i will stay awake for this power play only i think. for minnesota.<br />
dany heatly scored which earlier i was talking about him as the example of an ex you never want to see again 'i think those are the kind of guys that end up on the minnesota wild.' tie game!<br />
<br />
i am going to sleep. thanks to rebecca for being the best best friend ever and blogging for the rest of the night, i love you!!!!!!<br />
<br />
--------<br />
<br />
Awww! The feeling is mutual, Kendra. I love you, too! Wishing I was going with you to Serbia to that magical bridge but we'll have to wait until our EPIC TRIP TO CENTRAL AMERICA THIS FALL to travel together (cc Vanessa Winkworth).<br />
<br />
The truth is, the reason I love hockey so much is because I get to watch it with all my favourite people. And the snacks. <br />
<br />
But as per usual, I'm left blogging the late-night shift while everyone else has gone to bed. There are snacks left, so might as well. <br />
<br />
Watching the LA game and Matt Irwin scores making it 1:0 Sharks.<br />
<br />
Back to the Wild/Avs. The TV announcer is finally pronouncing Parise's name correctly. End of the 2nd. Still tied 2-2. Apparently LA has tied it up now! Switching channels. <br />
<br />
Just for the record: the $5 crackers were better than the $7 dollar crackers (but the $7 crackers have sentimental value). <br />
<br />
San Jose power play. Jonathan Quick is simply unbelievable. Holy shit. Dude definitely does some hardcore yoga. Doing splits left, right and center. Some kind of "questionnable goal" but there's no way that was a goal. Trust me guys.<br />
<br />
So many game sevens. I'm tingly all over. Nervoustime! Skirmish on the ice.<br />
<br />
WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT BASKETBALL RIGHT NOW?!<br />
<br />
San Jose with another power play. It's a test of Quick now. HOLY JESUS this is fucking frenetic. Should I wake up Kendra?<br />
<br />
It's about 400 degrees in my apartment right now.<br />
<br />
Kopitar scores! It's 2:1 LA. End of the 2nd.<br />
<br />
Neil Young is in the crowd (not wearing teal). Keep on rockin in America, Neil.<br />
<br />
I'm going to visit a foster kitten on Saturday, so chances are high that I will have a new pet this weekend. Already thinking about places to stash kitty litter. Even though it's been 8 or 9 years since my cat died, I still think of Precious every time I open up a can of tuna. <br />
<br />
And back to the Avs game and score is now 4-3 Colorado. 6 min left in the 3rd. "Bedlam here is Colorado".<br />
<br />
3 min left in the 3rd. Minnesota scores! Spurgeon. Tie game 4-4. Anything seems possible.<br />
<br />
"What a remarkable night!" and the announcer is slowly morphing in Ron Burgundy. 1 min left before OT. Nobody likes you, Minnesota. <br />
<br />
I've been distracted by a shared link to an old episode of Peewee's
Playhouse. No wonder my generation is so confused. Look at the stuff we
grew up on. Can you say acid trip?<br />

<br />
Back to the LA/SJ game and now it's 3-1 LA. I'll find out who scored. Toffoli scored. Mike Richards gets sent to the box. (Yet another) SJ power play. <br />
<br />
So much for getting a good night's sleep tonight. I am otherwise ready for bed (washed, brushed, pjs).<br />
<br />
I judge a team by their font.<br />
<br />
Back to the OT Col/Min game. JustasIchangedthechannel PING! El Nino! Holy Fuckity Fuck. Minnesota takes the win. FANS ARE CRYING. The Wild are advancing. Colorado fans everywhere are crushed. This is a big upset. Definitely not a "collapse of the NHL". Players are shaking hands and smiling. It's okay everybody! Another game down. Sleep is nigh.<br />
<br />
Back to San Jose. And whoa big surprise (not) it's another SJ power play. Doughty stopping so many pucks reminiscent of Mark Stuart (MartStuart4Life).<br />
<br />
This is probably the coolest invention I've seen in a very long time. You can DOODLE IN THE AIR (and my birthday is coming up just sayin): <a href="http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/04/lix-the-worlds-smallest-3d-printing-pen-lets-you-draw-in-the-air/" target="_blank">http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/04/lix-the-worlds-smallest-3d-printing-pen-lets-you-draw-in-the-air/</a><br />
<br />
LA scores again and this game is sealed. I'm going to bed. Love you all, Reb xoAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08645959406895031854noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771401805357802992.post-24882292282493365532014-04-19T20:25:00.000-07:002014-04-19T20:25:04.749-07:00easter eve.happy easter from nervoustime. we are watching colorado and only now remembered to blog. earlier caught the end of the pittsburgh game and columbus won, that series is now 1-1. this game is 2-1 one goal from mackinnon, one from landeskog. those two are my faves! becca is rooting for pomminville in this game, surprisingly most of all to her. gatorade commercial comes on and auguste comments 'isn't that bad for you?"<br />
<br />
discussion of tomorrow's easter plans, there is a flyers game at 11, we are thinking of watching redwings / boston at two. rebecca feels compassion for eastern european catholic players 'isn't easter more religious than easter.' while typing this i missed her gatorade / love analogy, which is 'just because something is unhealthy for you doesn't mean it doesn't feel good at the time.' true story.<br />
<br />
we're planning to go to hamam. auguste is going to the fort garry brunch in the morning!<br />
<br />
mackinnon! 'putting on a show for the ages'. so mackinnon has three points in this game and landeskog scored again. happy to have these two on my fantasy hockey team.<br />
<br />
we'd like to give a shoutout to the nelson leafs of nelson bc.<br />
<br />
bryz looks sad.<br />
<br />
rebecca 'you play your star goalie right away just like they did with luongo - it gives them confidence'.<br />
<br />
the snacks tonight are delicious. that matza brittle i missed last game when i went to sleep (awesome sleep, btw) and a sort of breaded marshmellow. becca doesn't get the fade out music on tsn tonight 'WHO WAS THAT, WHAT WAS THAT?'<br />
<br />
malone in a fight and becca wonders if the other guy razzed him about his bro's recent mishaps to which auguste responds 'you guys know so much how do you keep it straight.'<br />
<br />
one min left in the second. rebecca asked if hainsey has had his twins, so far i think not, i do a twitter search for the word 'hainsey' on a daily basis and because of that i know that @hainsey_17 's parents are going on a date tonight!<br />
<br />
did patrick roy get a haircut? his hair looks fantastic tho. ness has varlomov. as to patrick roy, becca 'i bet he doesn't smoke any weed. he would be the least chilled out stoner if he did'<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />2nd period over. i am heading to bed but becca may continue. happy easter, love nervoustimeAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08645959406895031854noreply@blogger.com0
