I have hockey this morning and will get home just in time for the game. I guess I won't be getting much done at work today.

One of my favorite things about living in the states was that the period between Thanksgiving and New Years (aka "The Holidays") was basically a month of nobody doing much of anything productive at work

I like ours better, more of a space in between Thanksgiving and Christmas for seeing the outlaws , sorry inlaws .

Today I'm going to start a new hobby.

Drinking at noon.

The game is on TSN3 so as long as you have the Spanish TSN3 you are good.

I'm sure he can get the Tres (S)ervezas Network

Winning this game, and doing so in a convincing fashion, would certainly go a long way to having a Merry Christmas

Was the pic taken at the Silverton?

Thanks again for a very good GDT @Ponds . Well i hear Matthews might not play today, upper body injury and i know where.....

His Albert Einstein cosplay would be elite.

 

[White Out 902]

The fact that so many women find him hot is absolutely f***ing baffling to me. I'm definitely no supermodel but that man looks like a f***ing rat.

On the other hand, Mark Scheifele? What a dreamboat.

Santa Fe Station, I believe...

Thanks for the GDT and all of the references to the Christmas movies I love so much! As well the sharing of Christmas stories, happy and sad.

Let's go out on a good note today, even though I won't get to watch it

 

[SUX2BU]

Go Jets go! Doubt I’ll be able to see any of this one unless Sportsnet has a Spanish feed I’ve never heard of.

On TSN3

callarse la boca Sawyer ……..

 

[imec]

Must win. Real test.

(@Ponds , thanks foe the GDT)

Indeed, it appears you need it.

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.

Well played sir!

Y no te comas tus zapatos amarillos!

I know, it's not much of an insult but I learned so very little Spanish and remember even less of it.

 

[Romang67]

What's with these early puck drops? Are you all off on the 23rd?

 

[MardyBum]

Wth would the lines be if Lowry is out? Names as 3C? Kupari? Big shoes to fill if Lurch is out. Hope he's in and they break this skid.

 

[Moloch]

Feliz Navidad.

Beat the leafs please.

 

[Buffdog]

I've been wondering what the plan is for this team as Lowry gets longer in the tooth and it gets harder for him to take the tough matchups

Will they keep the structure of the team's lines and try to develop a clone, or will they move to 3 scoring lines or something

 

[DharmaBum]

No Matthews for the Leafs. That Center lineup looks pretty iffy.

 

[CorgisPer60]

Wait, what? An afternoon game? Huh. Ok then.

 

[Jets 31]

The fact that so many women find him hot is absolutely f***ing baffling to me. I'm definitely no supermodel but that man looks like a f***ing rat.

On the other hand, Mark Scheifele? What a dreamboat.

Scheifele is also a way better drummer than Matthews.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Here goes nothing…

 

[buggs]

Nope. I think someone posted it's a tradition in Toronto so kids can go the game. I'm not sure how that works with ticket prices in Toronto but the intent is there.

I don't like the Jets in afternoon games but probably the same is said of Toronto. GJG>

My guess is Lowry goes to the 4th line and ya we move to more of a 3 line scoring team.
