You win some, and if you're good enough, you learn some. Failure is refusing to learn.

I'm pretty eclectic in what I enjoy and share. I'm a user experience researcher, a kahu to our ferrets, a fan of the Tampa Bay Lightning, among other things.

I’m still so annoyed by this. A hand pass. A hand pass!? A HAND PASS!?
The Lightning tied it late in the third period but the goal was overturned after a review for a hand pass by Brandon Hagel. Thoughts?🤔

It's no wonder that the Trump admin wants no one talking about World AIDS Day. If they did, the truth might be revealed.

Again, books have been written and there is much more to this than I can relate here, but working together with these amazing people reaffirmed my belief that we have for too long lauded elected officials, and too infrequently use public pressure to do what is moral and what is needed.

Good cause by a fun hockey writer to follow. He's even closer to his goal now, so every little bit can help if you can give.
Hey, it’s the last day of my Movember campaign.

I’m $270 from my $1,500 goal.

Here’s my attempt at a mustache for 30 days. Laugh and then donate.

Brilliant coaching - Coop knows how to maximize guys to their game, not try to be another player. Excellent scouting and a healthy team culture also help.
The Tampa Bay Lightning, who have had approximately 0 draft picks the last 5 years and a fraction of NYR's operating budget, continuously churn out minor leaguers who maximize their abilities at the NHL level.

Probably worth it for NYR to investigate why that is.

#GoBolts coach Jon Cooper on Holmberg postgame: “The puck is like glued to his stick. He can have the biggest players in the league on top of him and he just knows how to protect it.”
By far the best takeaway from today's game is Dan Hinote revealing on @boltsradio.bsky.social that #GoBolts forward Pontus Holmberg's nickname has become "The Backpack" for his strength and ability to carry defenders on his back unfazed.

Raddysh just referred to it again in the postgame.

HEY, HEY IT'S HAGEL: Brandon Hagel now has a four-game goal streak, his second of the season.

He is the only NHL player with more than one four-game goal streak this season.

I hear analysts talking about Edmonton's need for stronger goal tending, but I'm thinking it would be hard to pin this loss on just the goalie. The Oilers could have had both of their top goalies in at the ~same time~, and I suspect still would have lost with this heatmap. 🫣
Stars really had no trouble getting to the front of the net at all.

Bussi's helmet pays homage a lot to his brother Dylan, who is autistic.

I chuckled when I heard him say that. Definitely one of the better post-came comments from him. I love when Vasy's humor shines through. 😂
A very funny #GoBolts G Andrei Vasilevskiy postgame: "Playing great defense the last few games. Obviously our D corps is still Syracuse-ish. But you can see no matter who we got on defense, I mean obviously they're great players, but as long as you execute the game plan we'll be just fine."

MTG is a political opportunist who senses an opportunity and this opportunity could damage and possibly end maga and that’s why it’s important that Dems use her signature on the discharge petition, etc.
