I worked the overnight at a Denny's for two years so I guess I have a higher threshold for crazies than most.

PS the reason I quit was I had to deal with a guy who had a sword and realized this was all for only $15 an hour.
Ya i have worked nights for 25 years , i have seen alot of different things over the years.:laugh:
 
Everyone who's worked overnight retail or at a restaurant in Winnipeg (or really anywhere outside of @ps241's neighbourhood, I'm assuming):

Ok funny story time, my buddy and i are sitting in my car on a break, smoking bastards :laugh: and the brinks truck drove in to service the bank inside. The brinks driver and passenger stare at us as they drive in and my buddy stares right at them giving a dirty look. We both say WTF is their problem? to each other and they drove to the front of the store didn't get out, turned around and left. We go back in finish our shift and go to our vehicles . As soon as i tried to back out 2 cop cars come flying over and block our path.:laugh: The cops tell us to get out of our vehicles and proceed to tell us they thought we were going to rob the Brinks truck, the brinks guys called it in.:laugh: Once the cops believed us that we just worked there they had a good chuckle, bastards.:mad::laugh:

The girls are thinking
Drop the puck and beat them Flames
 
I watched this gif for a solid hour before I realized they’re not even in front of a volleyball net?
good lord, i've been watching it for weeks now and didn't realize this! :laugh:

$15 at the convention center.

Go for drink or a bite to eat at Earls before or after the game and they will validate your parking :)
$10 in the south parkade

I remember that night. Me and my buddy made off with the money while the cops were frisking you! 💰
 
As for @Nolan Giesbrecht asking in the last PGT why Draisaitl is unlikeable: he's got one of those faces that's like "man, I'd REALLY like to punch it".

Also, he whines way too much.
lol, I got a notification that I was mentioned in this thread and I hadn’t even opened it yet. “Oh crap, did I post something awful and forget about it?” Lol

Matthew Tkatchuk is the one I love to hate - I still remember a video from the Young Stars tournament where he attacked a prone jets player (who wasn’t trying to fight) and was on top of him, punching him in the face and the head against the ice.

Devan Dubnyk was the king of punchable faces...like a couch cushion and a potato had a baby.

Draisaitl looks like Blake Wheeler's evil German cousin...
 
Don't forget to get your guesses into the Prediction Contest before the puck drops or before the first coelacanth meme, whichever comes first...:nod:
 
Doc Walker singing the Anthems.

John Abbot, Greg Millen and Ryan Leslie are calling the game. Yea, Calgary's home crew.

Daily Faceoff site has Comrie as confirmed to start tonight.
He's 2-0-0, 3.00, .917% vs the Flames.

Interesting that neither Calgary goalie, Vladar and Wolfe, has ever beaten the Jets.
Vladar is 0-1-0 and Wolfe is 0-2-0.

Gabriel Vilardi is tied (with Guentzel) for the third in power play goals in the league with 10, which is also his new career high. Point and Larkin are ahead of him.

Vilardi has tied his career high in points with 41 (in 46 games). He had 41 points in 63 games 2 seasons ago with LAK.

Mark Scheifele is first in the league in goals at home with 18 and is tied for fifth in the league in points at home with 32.

Both Kyle Connor (26) and Mark Scheifele (27) are in the top five in goal scoring in the NHL, as they became the first duo to be in the top five
through the first 46 games of a season since Evgeni Malkin (22) and Sidney Crosby (28) in 2016-17.

The Jets are second in the league in goals against average with 2.39… Not including empty net goals, they have allowed four or more goals in
just five games this season… They have held the opponent to two or fewer goals in five straight games and nine of the last 12 games.

The Jets are the only team in the NHL yet to suffer a regulation loss this season when outshooting their opponent (21-0-1).

Winnipeg’s forwards are first in the league in goals (145), assists (187) and points (332) … Eight of the team’s forwards have reached the 20-
point mark… The Philadelphia Flyers (9) and Dallas Stars (9) are the only teams with more while the Carolina Hurricanes also have eight.

Scheifele is on a 7 game point streak (5G - 4A - 9pts)

Connor is on a 5 game point streak (4G - 4A - 8pts)

One of Vilardi, Scheifele, or Connor has recorded a point in 15 straight games.

The Jets have four players that have hit the 40-point mark – Kyle Connor (60), Mark Scheifele (53), Gabriel Vilardi (41) and Josh Morrissey
(40) … The Tampa Bay Lighting are the only team to have the same amount… Ehlers is at 38 points.

The Jets have won eight of the past 10 games against Calgary at home (8-1-1), including holding the Flames to two or fewer goals in seven of
those 10 games

Mark Scheifele leads Jets players in career scoring against Calgary with 24 points (10G, 14A) in 35 games… Kyle Connor has 23 points (10G,
13A) in 25 games against the Flames… Neal Pionk leads Jets defencemen with 18 points (2G, 16A) in 24 career games against Calgary.

Jets are 5-1-0 at home on Saturday games this season and 7-3-0 overall.

Calgary is 6-3-2 on Saturday this season.

Specifically on Hockey Day In Canada

From Sportsnet web site: The Jets will probably win. They’re 10-3 on Hockey Day in Canada (a stat MacLean pulled out of his near-photographic memory bank), while the other six Canadian teams have records in the neighbourhood of .500 (also via MacLean’s Brain).

The Flames have a record of 11-8-1-4 through their Hockey Day in Canada matchups.

The Jets and Flames have met once for Hockey Day In Canada,(Jan 20/18) the Jets won 2-1 in a shootout.

When the Flames play host to the Jets on Hockey Day, the broadcast will be available in Plains Cree, a dialect of the Cree language. The game is one of three to be broadcast in Cree on Sportsnet this season, featuring play-by-play commentary from Clarence Iron and analysis from Earl Wood, John Chabot and Jason Chamakese.
