Series Talk: [C1] Winnipeg Jets vs. [WC2] St. Louis Blues (WPG Leads 2-0)

[BretterThanYou]

Will be a fun series. Don't expect to come out of it with a win, think the Jets take it in 6.

 

[Summer Rose]

Never mind the Gateway Arch and Norwood Arch. If there's any arch envy it's because Canada has the Big Arch and the USA doesn't.

This makes me miss the Arch Deluxe at McDonald's.

I've seen the St. Louis arch. It looks good from a distance I guess, but doesn't strike me as anything special. However, my sister lived in the St. Louis area for something like 13 years and roots for the Blues, so I suppose I'm obligated to root for them along with her. Although I wouldn't mind if the Jets won instead. They deserve some success.

Fun fact, Hofer is a member at my golf club here in Winnipeg.

Hopefully he gets to start playing very soon.

Too bad notorious blues assassin Patrick Laine is no longer with us.

As a St. Louisan, going up to the Arch is kinda overrated, whether you love or hate heights (going up in a rickety elevator, barely being able to see outside from tiny windows that you have to take turns watching, etc.) The really exciting part is the underground: displays of history, quotes, and details of journeys headed west, the Meriwether Lewis and William Clark expedition, the Oregon Trail, the Native tribes, details about the bison, learning about Eero Saarinen, his vision about the Gateway Arch (that he sadly died before seeing), what went into building it, etc. As a massive history nerd, it's very exciting to learn about all of that.

I was just trying to ford the river and my oxen died. Then I died of dysentery.

I remember as a kid in elementary school resource class (I have autism, so sometimes, I just needed a quiet room where I could cool down. This was before autism was really well understood like today.) just hunting all the time, and I kept getting the "you cannot carry any more" notification that I didn't care about because I was so afraid of my characters starving to death.

And I got so upset when my named characters died of dysentery, tuberculosis, drowning while crossing the river, etc.

...I don't think I've ever gotten to Oregon, let alone with a full party. I think I made it to Utah once, but I'm not sure.

Kyle Connor owns the Blues just as much to be fair

 

[TheDeuce]

JETS IN 8
BLUES IN 9.5

Game four (if necessary).

Blues in 6 so that we can give them PTSD from 2019

Hardcore Blues fan here… The Jets are the only team in the West I’d root for if the Blues are eliminated. Like their team and their fans. And they are home to my favorite 60’s - 70’s band. The Guess Who

I always blame the Colorado Rockies for sucking so bad they had to skip town, or the Jets and Blues would have had some good rivalries in the old Norris days. With Hawerchuk, Steen, Boschman and Ron Wilson up the middle Jets might have won a few Norris divisions.

Cardinals were my favourite baseball team growing up, in the Whitey Herzog era. Tony La Russa was the best strategic baseball coach of all time.

It was easy to cheer on the Blues in their first ever Stanley Cup run but Paul Maurice asked us to go all the way this year.

Plus it's just a quick stumble away from the Wood.

Great place to get shot or stabbed

Breezy?

Shhh...go back to your Colorado thread so you can lose to the Stars.

 

[Johnny Tomala]

(1) Jets in 6 over (8) Blues.

Too much love in this thread

Suck it Blues fans

The Cardinals suck and so does Budweiser!

Yeah, but you....uuhh....in Winnipeg.....umm.....what the f*** is in Winnipeg? Damn! I can't even rip on you properly.

Can you please provide me some ammo, so that I can rip on it?

I know! You suck at flying planes...n stuff.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Jets rather comfortably if Hellybucyk plays as regular season and not playoffs.

 

[nORRis8]

Blues in 6. According to the Magic 8-ball.
Hallebucyk a proven outstanding regular season goalie.
Playoffs? El-crappo.

I asked Grok and nothing it mentioned seemed worthwhile enough to bother making fun of.

Just go with the usual bullshit we hear all the time. Mosquitoes the size of crows, snows year round, we live in igloos, etc.

Is 'Frozen Custard Concrete' still a St. Louis thing?

The story of many

As a Blues fan, I'd say Winnipeg in 5 or 6. If Dylan Holloway comes back by game 3, they may have a chance to take it in 7. The Blues didn't look particularly great the last few games of their winning streak, they just kept finding ways to win. Without Holloway in the lineup, they haven't looked real good at all (aside from last game vs UTAH).
