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 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.

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.

Glad to know the regular players are on the ice. I hope we get them back very soon. The younglings played with some heart yesterday, but that 3rd period meltdown last night hurt. 😖🫣
#GoBolts on the ice for practice this morning, Dominic James is practicing wearing a face shield, Nick Paul also practicing along with Hedman and Cirelli. Scott Sabourin is still with the team while Boris Katchouk was reassigned to Syracuse #TBLightning

It’s Hockey Fights Cancer night, and it’s also my mom’s birthday, who is a two-time cancer survivor, and the strongest person I know.
Funding cancer research is so important — it’s why my mom’s breast cancer was caught so early in a routine mammogram screening.

"Old"? 😭 No, our beloved captain. I cannot accept this.
That, and while I get this is about hockey longevity, I cannot call 35 (long in my rear view mirrors) "old." I'm not prepared to be that decrepit for any reason. 😜

The Republicans have really backed themselves into the corner.
They can’t negotiate with Democrats because as soon as Congress comes back, and they swear in Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva, Congress will take a vote to release any lists or names associated with Epstein.
