@Kate08 do you think the mods would let me have a NeelyDan’s gummy thoughts sub forum

Of which I am having several right now

Example: fighting in the 70s was none of this square off, defence, strategy - it was all gas, no brakes

All gas, no brakes

and like is there a philosophical connection to todays world being all brakes no gas and that’s what todays fight reflect omg

Only if I can be an occasional guest opiner.

But I’m about an hour and a half away from hitting the gummies. I take the sleepy ones during the week so usually have like an hour of whooooooa then zzzzz

Thanks!

It rarely snows in south Texas, which is why this week has been so fun for us. We aren't equipped for it - no snow tires, etc. So the mayor wisely shut everything down for two days.

I'm left hand dominant and play guitar right. I find it interesting that the the balance between lefties and righties isn't nearly as equal with guitar as it is with hockey sticks. Then again, in addition to guitars, everything else is geared toward righties - chord charts, tablature, etc. I've talked to other lefties when taking up guitar, and I steer them toward playing righty. Especially beginning, chords are harder for most than strumming, so a lefty has his dominant hand doing the harder work.

And great points on the B's conditioning. You could see the Devil's knowing with the B's hemmed in their own end in the long change second period, it was like a power play.

We don't get to see the whole ice on TV, so I'm reluctant to blame just the defensemen. Like last night - two young defensemen (Lohrei, Wotherspoon) are below the goal line trying to win a puck battle. They are out-manned and out-muscled; but where were the other three guys? Conditioning could play a part.

I don't read too much into behind the scenes clips, but there was a recent one following Mason Lohrei (who I like) on game day. He stops at Dunkin' Donuts and buys donuts. I get it, Dunkin' is a sponsor, and it's subliminal advertising. But I've also heard what a fitness freak Nate MacKinnon is; is he stopping for donuts on his way to games?

I'm sure he burns the calories off quickly, but still. I've actually had brief conversations with Kevin Neeld, the Bruins' performance coach, on YouTube. I was kinda star-struck. ;)

Good point on the chord charts etc. Guitar really is a right-handed world!

Yeah I was shocked by that little Lohrei Dunkin clip when I saw it. Nothing against Mason, understand the sponsorship angle, likewise don't read too much into it, but most sporting teams would not in a million years show one of their players buying a donut on game day, whether it was something that happened often in reality or not. Just no way. Weird optics. Does it mean anything in the wider scheme of things? Probably not. But little things like that do make you think sometimes, especially when what you see on the ice raises similar questions.

If it's not a 30 page thread on the main boards by now, then it didn't happen. There are posters there who go over every Marchand shift like they were analyzing the Zapruder film.

Up until that incident I hadn't realized Marchy was even on the ice last night.

I’m listening to Madonna “ crazy for you “ . Odd choice for a Bruins warmup song but it brings back memories. Not a huge Madonna fan but I like it .
