GDT: Game 40 - Columbus Blue Jackets @ Winnipeg Jets - Tuesday, January 9th, 2024 - 7:00pm CST - TSN3 - CJOB/Power 97

[macmaroon]

Whatever... Back to reality, the 26-9-4 first place Winnipeg Jets take on the 13-19-9 Columbus Blue Jackets at Canada Life Centre tonight at 7:00pm. The Jets are coming off of an impressive 6-2 victory over the Arizona Coyotes and are 8-0-2 in their last ten games, including winners of six straight. The Blue Jackets lost 4-3 in overtime to the Minnesota Wild in their last game, and are currently 3-3-4 in their last ten games. Can Winnipeg continue their winning ways without their “Mentors” present, or will they have to settle for a package of “Mentos” instead? Will Jack Roslovic show the Jets what they are missing out when they traded him? Will Patrik Laine and Nate Schmidt share hair grooming tips? Will both @Jetfaninflorida and @King Woodballs be surprised if “sniper” Adam Lowry scores another one tonight? These questions and a few others I forget will be answered somewhere along one of the skywalks leading to the arena...

Go Jets Go!

Looks like Jenner, Laine, and Werenski are all injured.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

@macmaroon

This is your best GDT ever. Topical, relevant, and funny because its not actually too far from the reality.

 

[Gil Fisher]

We have a relatively easy next six games before this national attention....checks notes...GOOD LORD, COMES TO A HEAD IN A HOME-AND-HOME WITH THE LEAFS!

 

[kanadalainen]

Coelacanths - arise from the icy depths of the convergence of the Red and Assiniboine. Shake off thine slumbers, thine dreams of abelcage and tarteletter, and activate thine muscular, send microvolt stimuli via interneuronal pathways to do battle with the greased swine from the unlikely hermitage of Columbus (the Columbus in Ohio, in this case). Pummel them well mighty Jets, drive they and their associates before thee, drive home pucks, wheel, shoot, celly.

That series is circled on my calendar for sure

 

[King Woodballs]

No I won’t be surprised!
I wouldn’t be surprised if Lowry got a hatty and got into a brawl!

 

[Jets 31]

Perfect GDT @macmaroon , brilliant. Well Columbus is the next team to try and beat our Jets, they better hang on tight because they are going for a little ride.

That looks more like Hartman to me.

Music for tonight, Let these Good times keep Rolling.

Naught did I wonder at any Blue-Jacket’d feller,
Nor praise the deep vermilion in Bone’s chilled nose;
Both sweet, but don’t warrant more attention than old yeller,
Behold our chill Jets, few days off, gathering strength, so it goes.
Yet seems its winter still, in Peg town, look out Jack,
And in these drama’d days we see Nat’l media tap and raise ire.
Heavy with spoils, Jets hasten to Jacketed starless hacks,
The dear repose for they with plenty games a-tired;
And thus begins a journey in Helly’s massive head,
To blow thy mind, with the popcorn bowl expired:
Brew pour’d heavy with an exuberant splash and splish
Accentuating our zealous loving pilgrimage to the TV,
Yo! Lets pray the Jets defence pulls something close to wish,
Delivering darkness for only squished jackets to see.
Aye, pump full thy buoyancy sacs friends, its no crime, eh
Smash the ischemic blue - minus Jenner, Werenski and Laine.

Watch this be the game the Jets lose because of course. I will be very annoyed if this happens. Hopefully it doesn't happen and I'm proven wrong.

 

[Guardian17]

What makes your GDT so funny @macmaroon is because it's true!

Hope the Jets can keep it going!

Now this is a trap game

 

[LucianoBorsato]

I'll be at the game tonight and I'm feeling the Jets are due for a loss, post road game exhaustion, the shock of returning to -20 temperatures etc etc. On the other hand, Hellebuyck and Iafflo are probably excited to get out to their ice fishing shacks so maybe they will be jacked and ready to play.

[Stumbledore]

Add me to all the folks who think this is the best GDT ever. You've outdone yourself!

And I also join the chorus saying that it's hilarious because it's so real.

Have fun at the game - hopefully your presence wills a win from the clutches of a trap game.

@macmaroon fantastic job.

Your research is always extensive but occasionally you bend the truth. Not this time, 100% fact based presentation. Brilliant.

This brought me to the answer to the Jets attendance woes. With a little research of my own I discovered that a large percentage of our fan base only subscribes to Sportsnet therefore is not aware of the Jets return to the NHL in 2011.

If you ignore the games where attendance was < 15,321 then the Jets' sellout streak remains unbroken!
