Bit worried about no Scheifele but hope we can get the W!

 

[Inanna]

Maybe make a jets hot take and defend it against the group. lol.

I'd rather take a jets hot tub on a weekend like this.

Kyle Connor in a regular sweater!

Update: Connor re-injured in huge knee-on-knee hit in practice

 

[Jets 31]

I have not seen even one game in January yet. This is killing me! Especially because this has probably been the most exciting time to be a Jets fan in several years.
Does anyone have a suggestion of how best to watch from the US?

No games in January? No watching games for you anymore sir.

I'd rather take a jets hot tub on a weekend like this.

No kidding, a hot tub would be great. Gotta wear a toque though, the hair freezes in this weather.

Sorry to @Jets 31 and @Mad Dog Tannen for disappointing you. I thought it would be cute to avoid saying 'thesis' but obviously no one made the connection since I'm the only one here obsessing over it. While monitoring HFJets. While having a slow text chat with my baby sister back in Kits who is stayed in bed til noon and can't believe how cold it is there (yep, -7C is bad there). While reading parts of the thesis again and making notes (again) on what parts I will likely have to defend and how. And reminding myself that a large portion of HFJets-ers have already gone through the medieval torture of thesis defence.

Now, back to not mentioning you-know-what in here again for several months.

I only have a Bachelor's degree so I never had to defend a thesis.

I guess I wasn't smart enough to get my doctorate

Don’t worry - we still have Schmidt 88 mph

I won't be there - no way am I going to subject anyone seeing me in a bathing suit. I think it's actually against the Geneva Convention...

Hmmmm. I just meant make a jets hot take in a thread on the sight and defend it against the group. This really took an unexpected left turn into a hot tub. lol.

If you want to post in your swim trunks you do you man.

And don’t be so hard on yourself. There’s always a buyer for a seller George.

@Buffdog dm’d me this gif after reading your post.

Read Inanna's post about hot tub so replied to your post but forgot to copy the second.

If you can't make fun of yourself, then who can you make fun of?

 

[Inanna]

Yeah, I discovered that last winter when my then-BF and I were invited to a hot tub party. My hair was t length back then but it's off my shoulders now. Unfortunately my current crowd is more proletarian and nobody owns a hot tub.

Egads!

Reminds me of the old days and the Big Ben Chairot practice injury watch...

You need a new crowd.

 

[BoneDocUK]

Flyers went 11-7 and really only ran with 3 lines last night. 1st line getting 20min plus.

You gotta think if jets roll 4 fresh lines we can tire them out get them stuck in the ice for a long shift and take advantage of errors.

Interesting we have some significant question marks on every line.

Ehlers - injured enough to not partake in practice
Perfetti - apparent wrist injury
Kupari - 1st game back, although they sent him down to AHL to prep for being on a line with Appleton
Axel jF (AKA Borgholm Hills Cop) - coming off a few days of diarrhea or something.

Should be an interesting game.


I imagine he’ll be on the PP1.

A helpful list.

If I'm Bonus I'm honestly tempted to write this up as an AHL Talent Nite and let the stars have an extra day of rest. Yeah, chasing wins and records, but this is also a PO team with a shot at going deep.

Haha. Yeah no toque in winter is a rookie mistake.

I actually have a hot tub and we keep it running in winter as my better half typically uses it 3/4 times a week in the winter.

You couldn’t pay me to use it today in -50 with windchill. lol.

And proletariat is not a good word to use around proletariats. You’re gunna have to dumb down your vocab!

Or you wildcard it and throw in Connor way too early ! Surprise wildcard add to the line up!

 

[ThinIce61]

Sorry, didn't mean to be cryptic, just trying to be cute. Somebody last fall complained, and rightly so, that they were sick of hearing me talk about my thesis. So I banned the word thesis in here.

Monday is the deadline submission for a master's thesis if you hope to graduate in May. The cliche is that all of us last minute types will spend the weekend polishing and polishing, even though everyone agrees that it serves no purpose and could actually make things worse. So, somebody somewhere coined WTF Weekend where you declare that you've done all that you can and you're going to take the weekend off, and the complement to that is people throw parties or gettogethers to help you not sneak back to your text and fiddle with it.

It would have been smarter to just say that I'm watching the game tonight with several folks who are looking more for distraction and beer than for hockey. And I'm still rejoicing at having another Saturday free after working every foxing Saturday night for so long.

Thesis mentioned 3 times in this post. No soup for you.

 

[TS Quint]

I bet we see Connor in the lineup within 7 -10 days. I had thought in my mind initially from Jan 25 - to Feb 1/ 2024,but it looks like we'll see him back sooner. It's coming shortly. - Hopefully.

My crystal ball says Tuesday, book it!

Or you were smart enough to get on with life and not waste your time getting a pointless PhD.

 

[ThinIce61]

I'm sure he is itching to get in but barring further injuries or maybe a few losses in a row I am going to say he is not back in the lineup until after the all star break.

Is it permitted to ask what "t length hair" means? Normally I ask the wife to decode your feminine asides but she's out with friends right now.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Is it permitted to ask what "t length hair" means? Normally I ask the wife to decode your feminine asides but she's out with friends right now.

I assume it means around the shoulders (where the neck and shoulders meet, as its the shape of the letter T albeit upside down).

But that's just an uneducated guess.

Down to her tits

What if you have itchy crystal balls are they as accurate or do you have to start from scratch?

My guess. The T is short for toilet - in that your hair is so long you have to move it aside to use the t.

Think crystal gale, you know. T-length!

 

[Inanna]

You need a new crowd.

Yeah, especially when this one is probably getting tired of me.

I find that hard to believe!
