Happy holidays from Nervoustime -Jets v Bruins

 Hello! 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. 

There was the pandemic as well since our absense. 

Discussion of Dave Lowry/Adam Lowry. They were both captains and Eric has also achieved a captaincy of his own in his career. 

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). 

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.

So many catchups and so many house changes. Every single one of us has moved since we last got together except for Kendra.

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.

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. 

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.

Santa is real and Santa is a Jets fan. He's definitely at this game.

WINNIPEG JETS GOOOAAALLL!! Scored by number 44 Joshua Morrissey!

1-0 Jets after 20:00

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.

We are shwetti for perfetti.  Something to shout!

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.     

We do not miss Evander Kane. 

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!

Penalty shot!!!!!!!

More brother notes the Geekie brothers are both from Manitoba.One plays for Boston and one played for the Ice.

Second Intermission

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. 

Shoutout to the Capital Grill, which probably does not put anyting special in their Caesar salads in spite of the $27 price point. 

Caesar salads are not Italian but Mexican. 

Darcy, not good at keeping secrets. So we now know that he and Jen are going to Hawaii in March for a belated honeymoon.

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). 

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. 

Someone commented that 8 out of 10 jets have golden retrivers.

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.

final thoughts -

we will have another one this season. we are happy to be here in charleswood.

Happy holidays xo nervoustime

   

jets vs. ducks

last 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.

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.

\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

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. \

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.

first period is over, 1-1.

first game for nick shore. jen 'he is handsome' dave : 'has a movie star name too' eric 'looks like the guy from bridesmaids'

my first nick search recommendation is nick carter. jen and dave have nikki minogue and nick jonas. jen 'i feel terrible for nick nolte

anyways, for nick shore he is a libra and was born in denver.


Kendra just got a text from her mother asking her for her mailing address. Charlie showed me a cookie and then took it away.
This just in...Kendras mom was updating her address book thus the reason for the address request.
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.

\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.

jen and darcy are moving to a tiny house in teulon perhaps one last trip to ste anne is in order.

top hockey moments of the decade -

mine is the advance to the second round in 2018

rebecca's is getting the 'id do ya oduya' sign on tv

tracey - the jets making it as far as they did in the playoffs, kane getting traded

jen - the return of the winnipeg jets

dave/jen talked about sidney crosby's goal / jen 'that was like an orgasm

it's 2-2 now

congrats to the bombers for the grey cup.Andrew Harris is at the game today.

Power play goal from Mark "good value' Scheifele. Thankfully there is a Scheifele jersey here or we'd never know how to spell it.

Kase, Kase we all fall down.

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.

let us know.

\jets win!!!! happy new year and see you in 2020 all xo neroustime

Nervoustime Saturday Jets vs Blues

Hi from the West end. 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)

why the announcers are wearing blue is a topic we hope to answer looks like it's in memory of Dave Hodge.

discussion of legal cannabis, rocket launchers in Cambodia and the show 'dark tours'

we haven't started watching the game yet.

discussion of the hockey charity funds that actually go to charity, calgary is the worst i think and the jets is 65%

st louis has an original organ

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.

jets score again, laine.

st. louis scored again and jen arrived in a new coat.

jen - 'if we look back at the blog how often do you think we watch blues games'

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

the nachos are delicious by the way and there is an intense discussion of dairy free sour cream options across the room

our two recommended instgram accounts are @busstopsofwinnipeg and @drinkingwithchickens

another goal for patrick laine, aka hatrick laine, 7th hatrick of his career

5.-2

tyler myers is fighting

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

6.-2

laine scored again

7.2

we lucked out for this game

gene has mentioned laine has had now 3 hat tricks in 10 games

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. 

7-3 no one knows who scored. 

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

7-4, and some fans in the stands don't even get up out of their seats to cheer. 

love you all see you in the playoffs

xonervoustime

playoffs game one ! jets v. wild

hi and welcome to the first meeting of nervoustime playoffs.

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.

Darcy feels like Rebecca would be proud that were actually blogging right now.

excited for chinese food spicy noodle house

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

Go Mark! Assistant Captain #55
He's got a nice watch! Nice billboard, Very Attractive

Talk about us making it to the Stanley Cup
"We're not counting our eggs before they hatch though"

"They're like a Jet, their flying!"  witty commentary...
\
Food is here! Thank you Spicy Noodle House

Is this the same |Niederittter that i remember from cheering for \pittsburg. against New Jersey

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

no score. there may be a perrault injury, we are unsure

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.

great save for hellybuck 'we have a goalie' - jen funk

noah is still wearing a pavelec jersey 'someone bought it for him'

jen started laces out which i did too years ago and my laces are who knows where.

discussion of the parise trade, gene reminds us it was parise and suter. when the spelling is wrong i will take the credit, kendra.

excellent sour cream cookies.  thanks jen for making dessert!

Conner is going to score the first goal of the game, Tracey predicts. Jen is predicting Armia.  we will take any Jet goal.

Perrault may have injured his shoulder ~ tbd

'We gotta a goalie!!!!'

shots on goal are 20 to 14 for the Jets.  the Wild seem to have a goalie too...

Winnipeg goes on the  power play. We all feel it's gonna happen here!

And then it happened! JETs score!!!! Scheiffle (Dale Hawerchuk 2.0) for the goal!
GOAL!

45 secs left in 2nd period.  Whiteout is bringing the noise. Waiting 37 minutes, but we got there

SPICY NOODLE HOUSE for the win.  Peanut soup was certainly a crowd pleaser.

Grab onto Trouba

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.

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.

Golden Nights and kings play tonight as well

15:45 left in the 3rd

2:1 jets :(

Room is quiet...

SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Patrick Laine the predator he is!

Tied Game, an almost goal.

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

10:30 left in the third

A shot to the slot comes up empty.

Pittsburgh is crushing the flyers, 7-0.

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!

Shout out to the Winky-Hills tonight, who sadly could not attend  Bad backs. The struggle is real.

Morrow gets the go ahead goal!!!!  7:13 to go! To Morrow, it seemed pretty simple.

Crowd is alive and chanting Go Jets Go! Taunting the Wild goalie.

Koybu is a  fantasy player for Kendra. he's quite a good player. But not that good.

Wheres my jersey? i thought this ticket came with a jersey?

Need a Wheeler goal.

2:30 mark  Net blown off its anchors. hoping there will be a call here.  referees are discussing.......
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.


EMPTY NET! 2:18

discussion on icing.

time out

oh, GOD! Tension. Excitement. shots on empty net going just wide.

Jen Funk is for sure going to a play off game. Absahfuckin'lootly. Technifuckingcality

kcing icing icing icing

JETS WIN!!!


See you next game!! Love to all.

jets and devils - live from the west end

hey - this is our first blog of the season. we are at eric and trevors and present are them, myself Kendra, Vanessa, jen funk [now on Instagram], trace and gene, noah. 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.

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.

Jen Funk has a cold so she is not allowed to hold the baby today. Great Spread for the potluck. So much food.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

also hello to my neighbor joe who is at the game.

jen is reading all books on her shelves before borrowing a book from anyone, I have thought of that as well.

jen ' I think if the rapture happened noah and I would be left'

nj goal 5-2, from the crease

darcy not hear but his 'what is the crease for' comment is raised and one of the dogs started growling.

the only person in the room who doesn't have Instagram is gene. you can see our pic of Charlie on Rebecca's account.

Rebecca 'I called it. Twitter is dead'

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.

Charlie the nervoustime baby has pooed every day for three days, 'that's blog worthy'.

we would like the ricotta cookie recipe, eric.

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.

Jets win.  Go Jets go!  Discussion of Snow vs. the hip.  There's more than one Snow song??

We really all loved the snow song 'everybody wants to be like you' and i listened to on the way home

Love nervoustime

playoff update

Hello, this is Kendra just doing a quick blog post to say I was going to watch game six today but I decided to go for a walk outside. 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.

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.

Beauty on, xo

Jets vs. Bruins, live from Ste. Anne

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.

'there is a band playing tonight at the Ste Anne hotel'.....

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.

Rebecca on her Evander Kane jersey 'I don't remember if I threw it in the garbage because I didn't want anyone to have it or if I gave it to the goodwill. I knew when I was moving I didn't want that energy in my house.'

Tracey and Jen are both wearing their nervoustime jerseys. Eric wearing the funk 66 jets jersey (borrowed)

Trevor - 'are you working?" unaware of our blog or potentially what a blog is

'if you would have googled eric wahl before you started dating you would have found our blog trevor' - rebecca

no score. highlight so far the description of puck handling 'feathered it ever so ginergly'

discussion of pronunciation of laine and ehlers names 'its lane to me' - j. funk

delicious food all around tho including red potato hashbrowns and sobeys chicken wings, 'they are very meaty'

'is anyone else excited for save on foods' - 'they have people making perogies in store'

it's a powerplay for winnipeg.

matt actually built the save on foods.

moving on to a spirited discussion of movies / tracey has gone to two movies in the last two weeks, arrival and dr. strange - recommends 'dr. strange if you had to choose but go see both'

rebecca on petan wearing 19 ' it's too soon to take slater's number'


Slater Jim we miss you xo

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.

Smoko has strong feelings about someone. Turned out to be prophetic, as Smoko was right on the money.

That one player is unreasonably tall for a hockey player. 6'9".  And what kind on name is that anyway? Serbian?

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.

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."

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". 
Doug Collins, Pilot Mound resident 

WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT: wait. No.

Finding Dory is "very nice".

Question: is it impolite to "lean" while at a hockey game? Someone asked Grant to lean back at the Tuesday game. "Unbelievable."

2nd period. back to matters at hand. According to Matt the 1st period was "flazédah". Marchand: everybody hates him. "Little ball of hate."

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.

4 minutes into the period and the announcer is wayyy negative: "what a conundrum".

Talking about Hellebuyck and the names we call him: Clutterbuck, Huckleberry, Knuckleberry, Clutternuts.

Spelling bee time. This period has been a bit lack lustre. Jets power play but nothing.

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.

There's been another Boston goal- Bergeron scores. Will Clutternuts get the nod?

27 - 7 shots on goal. Discussion of lowest shots on goal in a game. We consult the internet:

• "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"
• "Toronto was held to 6 shots on goal once in the playoffs vs. New Jersey.
  That's the lowest I can think of, and I believe is the record for a playoff game."

Consensus on Reddit is that 6 shots is the record.

Sorry Jets, this has become a pretty boring hockey game as Rebecca has mentioned regarding the shot, Jen blogging now.

Discussion on whether we should go to the spelling bee sometime at the Good Will. 

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.

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. 

Holy cow! It worked. I highly doubt the sleep of Rask with come again for the last 2 minutes though.

Legible autographs or good penmanship is a great quality.
