GDT: Game #36 - December 23, 2024 - Twas The Game Before Christmas. Your Winnipeg Jets Visit The Laffs. Puck Drop @ 11:00am PT / 1:00pm CST / 2:00pm EST

[Ponds]

Your Winnipeg Jets were in the spirit of giving on Saturday, sending the Wild back to Minnesota with another loss to unwrap.

That same evening, the Blue and White Shites were also in a charitable mood, letting the Islanders open some early gifts in a 6-3 loss.

After being treated to such a lovely win, most Jets fans would prefer going into the Christmas break on a high. Despite being a bunch of goofs, Toronto has had Winnipeg by the wings of late, creating a slight unease in the frosty air.

What a Christmas story it would be, if the Jets could make this losing streak die hard and get their fans rocking around the Christmas tree. Will it be a wonderful life tomorrow afternoon, or will the Laffs be the Grinch that stole Christmas? Here's hoping your Jets have a Christmas vacation to remember and leave the Spuds home alone.

------------------------

Gonna keep it short and sweet this time. The season isn't about gifts, but another shout out to my old man. My favorite Christmas present of all time was the Nintendo 64 he bought for my brother and I, back in the 90's. It came with the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Diddy Kong Racing. What a time to be a kid.

Also, super fond memories of going to the Assiniboine Valley Railway with my family when I was younger. A hidden Winnipeg gem. Times you take for granted. Was saddened by the passing of the owner and operator, Bill Taylor, over a decade ago now. Not sure if anyone has taken on the conductors hat since. Would have loved to take my wife and daughter there.

(We'll end with a video you may have to let buffer due to the size)

I wish you all a healthy, happy and safe holiday season, however and whoever you're celebrating it with.

Much love and Go Jets Go.

The Leafs seem to always piss in our cornflakes as of late.
It sure would be nice to not let that happen.

Every time we play the Leafs I think back fondly of that Laine overtime winner for the trick. "Hatrick, game winner, Patrik Laine!" Holiday Cheers to everyone. Let's smoke the Leafs!
