As I understand it, the song is about David Milgaard, referencing Saskatoon as the "Paris of the Prairies", as that is where the nurse Gail Miller was from and the murder took place.

A kick ass tune regardless IMO.



It's a good article from Canadian Living but the nomenclature is misattributed.

Saskatoon was called "Paris of the Prairies" by none other than Bob Dylan long before Gord Downie put pen to paper.

I really hope they can get the offence going tonight esp the bottom 9 + Kyle Connor. Really anyone not name Scheifele or Ehlers needs to get going offensively. On the other hand we are up against Blackwood... another one of those random goalies in the Vejmelka, Mrazek and Errsson strain who have pretty average numbers otherwise but turn into Hasek against the Jets.

Was just about to post something similar. We need a high scoring game and a number of our players to bust out of their slumps. Hoping the second line can chip in a couple tonight and that we get a PP goal or two.

100% correct
Great tune.
My uncle could do that Loon call by blowing into his hands and it sounded exactly like that.:laugh:

I'd think 55 / 27 could also use an offensive boost - none of them are exactly lighting it up.

Sharks starting their 1b/backup tonight. Kaapo Kahkonen has one career start vs Winnipeg. He allowed 1 goal in a 2-0 loss (1 was an empty netter)

As has been pointed out earlier you can not lose this game at home to a team near the bottom of the standings with Mr. Dark, Cold and sans Wifi not in the line up. A game the Jets should win and will win.

I think this is the game that breaks open the goal scoring. The team has maintained their structure, but I think Bones lets them run with it a bit tonight if they get a couple early.

This looks like a major mismatch, but take nothing for granted. Fun fact: San Jose has gone 5-3-2 in its last 10 games, which is better than Winnipeg’s 4-5-1 record in that span.

Jets are heavy favourites tonight:

Heck, the Sharks +1.5 are paying 2.47:1. Maybe some happiness insurance?

We're at a bit over 80% on Moneypuck, the legendary "Any Given Sunday" 4:1 threshold. For that matter, why the hell are we starting Hellebuyck when at home against the worst team in the league? If we can't play our backup here, where CAN we play our backup?

OK, I've done my part.

Spielberg's version should by rights be seen as the definitive movie version. It's just that damn good.

I just hope that "run with it a bit" doesn't turn into "forget about defence" again.
This team rarely forgets about defence. Just about every metric shows we are one of the best defensive teams in the league. IMO at least Bones needs to let the boys run a bit to amp up their confidence in the O zone.

Here's another fun fact; Sharks have given up the most goals in the league 199 an average of 3.9 goals a game and the 2 games vs the Jets they gave up only 3 goals. :huh:
So if my math is correct Jets should score 8-9 goals tonight.:D

Truthfully I wouldn't mind a run and gun game tonight, this team need to find any way of getting pucks past the other teams goalie. PP would help get them going but I'm just not that confident that the pp can be fixed this year.

Yep, that's how the universe works. :D

Apropos of nothing I ended up betting the Sharks +1.5. Tough to walk away from almost 2.5:1 on a two goal spread, especially with how the Jets have had trouble scoring lately.
