I’m not ready to move on enough to talk about the Boston Bruins’ future. I’m not willing to say the window is shut because then there would be no point in watching. However, I think it’s important to look at how the B’s handled the loss because the players in that room know more than we do and more than they’re telling us.
There generally was a huge sense of loss, not just the game itself but the loss of opportunity to win the Cup with some players that might not be here when the 2020-2021 season begins in (presumably) December or January. Bruins captain, Zdeno Chara, declined to talk about the certainties of his future in hockey or with the Bruins.

The player who seemed to take the series end and the potential loss of Krug the worst was David Krejci, who seemed very emotional, not lifting his face to the camera.

The team just didn’t have it and performed as well as they could under extraordinary circumstances. Though the planned for three months away, they return home after a little more than a month. It will take time to work through this and get ready for next season, which will hopefully be better than this one ended.
I am making a support system for kitchen shelves that will appear to be floating. All the support will be inside the wall and inside the shelves. Look Ma, no hands!!
I love those floating shelves
Ugh, last night’s dreams are mega confusing. I was taking a physics class and I seemed to not know when it was in my schedule. And somehow I had put off doing the homework. But this physics professor was more interested in getting us to solve riddles and define things than in doing the math. (Most physics tests in lower level undergrad are nothing but word problems). And he wanted us to solve these riddles out loud in front of the class. Somehow, my time in class ended before I had to admit that I had nothing for him. Then, I went for a ride with fellow students to fond some other building on campus. We ended up in downtown, where I was looking for the right building, Then, it switched to me and IW arguing about and old AC unit. He wanted to keep it because the light turned from red to green, I wanted to get rid of it because it didn’t actually cool.
^what does it all mean?^ I don’t know!!! But, if that light turns from red to green, wow! That’s like a reverse Logan’s Run and i am keeping it!!! (Even if it has to live in the garage) \_0_/
Morning all. The past couple of weeks have been a struggle. Cutting it closer and closer with logging on to work in time. Hopefully the two days off coming up are a much needed mental and physical break.
I hear you.
I’ve also been having a relatively hard time lately. I get woken up by my stomach then I’m a zombie. Need to go back to sleep, miss my exercise window, get into the shower late, and am even later getting out in spite of not needing to wash my hair. Not getting much done at work, but don’t have the stamina/patience to put in the little extra time to get through it.
Oh man, definitely can relate on this one. Every day recently has felt like trying to get through quicksand.
Hopefully you get the long weekend as well and your stomach gets better.
Hey All,
I’m still a little numb, but moving on. The weirdness of the season and postseason make it easier to let it go…. at least for me.
Watched some of the Islanders/ Flyers, but wasn’t super interested.
We finished season 2 of Dexter last night…. Probably can’t start the third season until Monday…. we’re still enjoying it.
LB asked about kayak polo yesterday and it made me think (one of the rare occasions, eh?)…. Am i ready to go back to a normal locker room situation like we had in kayak polo or hockey?? No, i’m not. I have trouble enough with going to a store right now!
Rain! I’ll be in the garage welding all day..
What’s he building? What the hell is he building in there?
Ok, you have a right to know.
Though I thought it would be obvious.
Yeah I know what you mean. I went to the supermarket this morning where its law you have to wear a mask. Saw a lot of people not wearing masks, which hasn’t been the case the last few weeks.
Our borough officially has 6 cases per 100,000 people atm, which is great but the number is low because people have been careful. Too soon to get complacent. I’ll be wearing masks and using every hand sanitiser station I see until that number has been stuck at zero for a while.
Yeah, complacency is creeping in around here.
I was at the hardware megastore last weekend, and the first employee I talked with let his mask drop below his nose and didn’t fix it. Then I’m standing near the checkout waiting for someone and two guys start hovering around,cutting in line, leaning on another guy’s purchases – dude, it’s Saturday, I DGAF if you’re in a hurry to get back to work, back off. But at least everyone in the stores were enforcing the “no mask: no entry” rules.
One gets used to it.
It’s hell to the no for me on normal locker room situations. It’s just too hard to keep them sterile. People who have just had a good workout are a mess of fluids. Way too much sweat, blood, spit, snot & urine to keep up with. Just think of all the stories of athlete’s foot going around a locker room.
When I am on the nordic track, after 10 minutes my sweatband gets soaked through, and my now heavier breathing causes me to spray the sweat from my upper lip forward. (plus whatever micro droplets of saliva I’m already puffing out of my mouth) Then I step off and grab my water and get more sweat on the machine as my sweaty forearm brushes something.
I’ve started to keep a rag and a spray bottle of cleanser nearby so I can wipe it down as if I were at a public gym.
A friend of mine cancelled his gym membership because he doesn’t see himself going there anytime too soon. He’s also thinking of skipping ski season because he’s not comfortable being around that many people. And he’s a hardcore loves to ski it’s the whole reason he moved to the Valley type ski bum.
Ski weekdays, no problem….. unless you have an actual job
That’s part of his issue. He’s been working from home for years and skis on his lunch break. Now with everyone working from home (including people who have moved up here in the past few months because they can now work remotely) mountain is going to be a lot more crowded during the week with people skiing on their lunch breaks.
sweat, blood, spit, snot & urine
’nuff said!
Some activities are uglier than others.
