Wish my wife was busto.

Greetings all! It's another glorious game day and what a better way to spend it by being on the HFJets Forum discussing our beloved team! The Jets are coming off of a disappointing 4-1 loss against the Dallas Stars on Monday night missing Head Coach Rick Bowness, who was sick with COVID. If that game didn't make him sick, another game playing like that will. Hopefully, he will be behind the bench for tonight's grapple against the Colorado Avalanche. The Av's are coming off of a 6-3 victory over the current hapless Minnesota Wild and are now 2-1 on the season. The Jets will have their work cut out for them, so let's hope Bowness & Co. can inspire them to play better...

We all know that Denver is known as the “Mile High City”, but there are other facts about that city that I bet you don't know. This GDT will cover some of the more lesser known trivia about Colorado's Capital...


The 1976 Winter Olympic Games were awarded to Denver, but when the costs started to skyrocket and worries about the environment started to rise, the voters rejected it and Austria was awarded the games. Now if only Montreal would have done that for the Summer Games, maybe we wouldn't have had the “Big Owe”...

You can actually kayak down the South Platte River in the Downtown area. You can bring your own boat, or you can rent one at one of the parks...

The cheeseburger was invented in Denver at the Humpty Dumpty Drive-Inn in 1935, when owner Louis Ballast applied for a patent. The hamburger has never been the same since...

Some of you golfers might be interested to know that your golf ball will soar about 6% farther in Denver than in other cities because of the elevation, as the thinner air causes less drag. Who's up for a round...

Elvis once flew to Denver just for a sandwich! While touring, he had eaten at one of the restaurants in town and enjoyed it so much that year's later, in 1976, he flew his private jet back there, had thirty sandwiches delivered to his plane, and then flew back home after he and his crew had eaten. The sandwich in question was 8000 calories and made from a full jar of blueberry jam, a jar or peanut butter, and a pound of bacon on a hollowed-out loaf of bread!

Did you know that the Denver Mint is the largest producer of coins in the world, as it can put out more than 50 million coins in a single day! That's a lot of pocket change! So if you see any U.S. coin with a “D” stamped on it, it comes from here...

Denver was rated as the healthiest city in America for pets by Purina, ranking high in categories such as veterinarian to pet ratio and a low number of fleas. Makes me kind of itchy thinking about it...

And finally, for some reason it is unlawful to lend your vacuum cleaner to your neighbour in Denver. The question should be asked, why would you anyway...Screw them...just like the Avalanche, they suck!

Go Jets Go!

That’s a pretty unenthusiastic reading from Jessie in that gambling advert.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Maybe we need to petition the NHL to add a 4th period, and drop the 2nd period...

 

[heretik27]

I didn't want to say anything about it right away because I didn't want to jinx us, but 10 seconds into that period Hellebuyck was giving me PTSD with his puck handling

 

[Gabe Kupari]

I could 100% see that as an issue. When I was a kid we were savages in the locker room. Not exactly a place for inclusivity

Doesn't seem to be as much of an issue on the girls side

Possible but maybe Noone currently in the NHL is gay

 

[The Blue Baron]

I'm Irish...

hic...

We know

 

[hockeyarena]

I'm sure she thinks the same, of you.

She wishes I wouldn't busto so quickly.

 

[MardyBum]

[DharmaBum]

How about we get back to the Blink-182 talk/meme's/gifs?

 

[ryerockarola]

That’s a pretty unenthusiastic reading from Jessie in that gambling advert.

[tbcwpg]

Good 4th line pressure there.

 

[DannyGallivan]

Connor! You’re supposed to be a sniper!

 

[AlaskaJet]

It was real nice of whoever that was to pass it back to Makar at the point holy f***.

I’m just getting home and missed all the fun? Is my phone working correctly?
Radio check on Pionk goal? Who is coaching? ESPN stream on my boat just has homie announcers that make me want to sync CJOB..

 

[AlphaLackey]

AIYAH great play boys anyways!

Looks like they took their punch in the mouth and have quickly gotten back up. That's good. And I gotta say, Appleton hasn't looked out of place that much at all. Drew a penalty, set up KFC with a great pass there, etc.

 

[The Blue Baron]

OMFG JoMo

 

[Potrzebie]

Is JoMo on drugs? Wtf

 

[GeorgeJETson]

She wishes I wouldn't busto so quickly.
