Yeah, let's hope Stan stumbles in the dressing room and sprains something serious. I'm getting so tired of seeing our giant pylon beaten by faster skaters, which is practically everybody on the other team. Replace him with somebody else with more speed and less galumphing size.

Never understood this obsession with size. Just because he's tall doesn't make him a useful hockey player.

 

[Optimistic Cynic]

Maybe losing the crowbar would make the pylon faster? Doubt it.

 

[MardyBum]

Nice to get the win yesterday, today is whatever, NYE b2b. If they win I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Thank you @RoyIsALegend !!

So many great players. Must feel like a different team with Georgiev gone

The Piss Knights and Yeti Turds have the Jets number. Let’s end the year by correcting that shit.

The game is stacked against the Jets with the cocaine bear back, the Brick in net with a late night flight on a BTB. Lord willing, pump the Yeti Turds net with a lot rubber.

GoJetsGo.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Not expecting much out of this one

2nd half of a back to back on the road vs a well rested Avs team who is 8-2 in their last 10 and Comrie between the pipes

Tired team at mile high altitude.

 

[CorgisPer60]

At least Vegas died tonight. Jets have a chance to create more separation between the two teams.

Avs 3rd D pairing..........Woof

Avs 3rd D pairing..........Woof

Sam Malinski is actually quite good.

We don’t have a 6th D and it’s been a revolving door between de Haan/Middleton/Kylington/Ludvig. That will be addressed by the trade deadline.

I was 5'11" in high school and I'm 5'10" now. Goddamn gravity!

I haven't measured my height in 40 years. I'm sure I'm the same height.

 

[Stumbledore]

I haven't measured my height in 40 years. I'm sure I'm the same height.

I had my height measured every time I ordered a suit. Year by year, it's totally unnoticed but over a decade or two it's amazing how much shorter you are.

 

[SUX2BU]

Hardy har har. It's just natural shrinkage for old guys. Women do it twice as fast they say. When we got married, the wife was 6'2" and when she ordered a new cape last fall she didn't even hit 6 feet. Still stands straight and tall and the LOTR freaks do double takes thinking she's the elf queen or something.

Here's a quick quote - Short answer: yes, and it occurs even more rapidly in the elderly. Women lose an average of two inches between age 30 and 70, but then the process speeds up a bit. By age 80, most women will have shrunk a total of three inches.

Hence, the cape

[Gil Fisher]

I was 5'11" in high school and I'm 5'10" now. Goddamn gravity!

It's relentless.

I’m more concerned with width than height

 

[Buffdog]

I was 5'11" in high school and I'm 5'10" now. Goddamn gravity!

I can't remember being shorter than 5'10. I think i hit it in grade 7 or 8 but never grew bigger than 6'0

The worst is that my goddamn kid is 6'4. I might not have made  the show if I was that big, but I probably would have made  a show

 

[bustamente]

As I grow into my 60's I find myself more and more vertically challenged.

 

[Moloch]

This is definitely gonna be one of those games where we look sluggish for the first 35 minutes, then offense wakes up a bit but by that time we've already dug ourselves in a hole.

Comrie is a good goalie, IDC. He makes some pretty impressive saves and knows where to be. But our team plays completely different when hes in net which is f***ing infuriating. Its like they know they don't have the best goalie in the world to bail them out and their judgement gets clouded because of it.

 

[DharmaBum]

Jets have a good record on NYE games


Avalanche record on NYE is 9-7-3

 

[Cnile]

Avs lose tonight
Book it

As I grow into my 60's I find myself more and more vertically challenged.

Follically challenged and gravity enhanced as well.

 

[macmaroon]

Don't forget to get your guesses into the Prediction Contest before the puck drops...

 

[bustamente]

This is a heavy pull for a Jets team that played last and hasn't done well on the backend of a b2b. Try and contain the Avs big guns keep the score close and maybe get lucky in the third

 

[bustamente]

St. Louis phoned it in with those Winter Classic jerseys

 

[chaos4]

Thanks for the NYE edition of the GDT @macmaroon !

It will be a clash of two very good teams tonight.

The Aves have the advantage of a Jets team on a second game of a back to back.

The good news is....

Thanks to @Jets 31 when I say Hulk I mean Daisy Duke!

I'll be at the Cooter's Nashville in May
