Do you have the right thread Sip?

Me thinks @sipowicz has had a couple this morning.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Thanks @macmaroon and @Luc Labelle cyclists extraordinaire

We need to keep winning as the Tars and the Av Nots are winning as well.

GO JETS GO

 

[kanadalainen]

Can you tell it to look less like a hipster and more like hobo?

Lets give it a shot. Hm.. has the correct attitude, but the attire is much too fair.

How about this? He brought a wingman along for the ride in this one.

 

[macmaroon]

Hope @Luc Labelle remembers to lock up his Penney farter (or whatever it's called) when he goes to the forks!

Could just imagine some dude that looks like Zach Bogosian riding off on it, or at least trying to

I have a t-shirt for that...

 

[Luc Labelle]

Sign me up the Penny Farthing X games.

Thank you @macmaroon -> nice tribute to @Luc Labelle.

Go Jets - Tampa is not a pushover - we need to be on our game for this one.

I will be at this one with a old friend, I would love to see them hammer the Lightning.

@kanadalainen : As stated by @macmaroon it did not go well for me in the Penny Farthing X Games, I am still recovering from that bad landing several years later. So don't sign up just in case (don't want to see you put out of commission from providing us your wonderful prose).

@Luc Labelle doesn’t strike me as a cycle path?

@Eyeseeing, Dad joke indeed as my dad's nickname is Chuck and he is a cycle path whose actual name is Hannibal.

Also, my mother spells her name Patti and is most famous for her hit "Lady Marmalade" by the band Labelle. It was fun growing up with all the girls saying "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir". I learned to say "Yes indeed" at a very young age.

@macmaroon Thanks for the honour of being featured in your GDT for the Tampa Bay Lightning game. Brilliant research!

Interesting facts:

I always say I brought hockey to Tampa Bay and Subway to Winnipeg. I was part of the largest NHL crowd at the time for the exhibition game between Los Angeles and Pittsburgh featuring Gretzky, Lemieux (did not play) and Jagr as a rookie. After the game in the baseball stadium in St. Petersburg I went across the street to eat at Subway for the first time (in Winnipeg I went to Mr. Submarine).

Ultimately the Tampa Bay Lightning were granted a franchise in 1992 and Subway expanded into Winnipeg shortly after my trip.

Fact number two.

As noted above, my first trip to Florida somehow included watching NHL hockey. Amazingly my first trip to Jamaica also involved watching NHL hockey. Less that an hour after arriving in Negril, Jamaica I was watching game 7 of the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals at a beach bar as the New York Rangers ended their Stanley Cup drought with a win over the Vancouver Canucks.

Fact number three

My parents never drove a vehicle and therefore were actual avid cyclists as that was their only mode of transportation. I remember being terrified as we three kids were dragged behind our dad's bicycle in a makeshift boxed trailer weaving in and out of traffic.

But no penalty.....

 

[AlaskaJet]

Thanks @Luc Labelle for recycling all those old memories for us and accolades to you @macmaroon for recognizing the valuable contributions cycle paths have made here.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

But no penalty.....

Ehh tough for the ref to call that one live - the linesman might have been able to, but they can't.

[GeorgeJETson]

Yeah, that makes it all better.

Thanks to the DoPS for being as reliable as the Leafs goaltending this season.

 

[Jets 31]

But always remember it's the Jets that are dirty according to Minnesota fans.Unbelievable.

 

[None]

I wonder if Cole's mic picked up Hartman admitting it was intentional and whether the NHL is even allowed to use those mics for that kind of thing.

 

[Jets 31]

Love that Perfetti says but we beat them 2 straight games so we got our revenge.

 

[None]

When the NHL inevitably loses a gigantic concussion lawsuit in the future we can point to garbage like this as why.

 

[jokesondee]

Hartman is such a f**king piece of shit. Youre going to stick a guy in the face because Kaprizov got cross checked and likely injured himself trying to embellish it like a bitch. Hartman could have taken Perfetti's freaking eye out or knocked a bunch of teeth out. And leave it to that f**king weasel to go after the smallest guy on the ice. I absolutely hate that piece of trash. I would pay to have Lowry or Dillon cave in his head.

Theme song for 2024 and our Jets.

I haven't heard that song in 40 years!

 

[Jets 31]

I haven't heard that song in 40 years!

I know eh , used to hear it in the bar all the time, especially the Times bar downtown. That actually could be video from Times.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

uh-oh
Trap game upcoming.

Nah , he is going to play a man short on purpose so they have a excuse to lose tonight.

uuuuuhh, I dunno. Smells like a trap to me.

Agreed.

A tiny part of me hoped that game would have the Jets de-evolve to Minny's level and turn it into a gigantic brew-ha-ha. Knew the Mild players would pull BS so at least blacken a few eyes. Just following the philosophy of "don't start shit, but make sure those who do know why they shouldn't start shit".

Mostly glad they didn't though.

Oh, almost forgot: the Jets are the dirty team
