So sad to hear about Ginger Papa. He was probably the most positive poster found anywhere on these boards. RIP

Ya i think the majority of everyone's " likes " came from GingerPapa.

Beauty of a GDT, thanks!

RIP Ginger Papa - your sense of ha ha was delightful!

Go Jets Go

 

[SUX2BU]

thanks mac for the GDT

Condolences to Ginger's family and loved ones

He was a good influence (he hated the Benning era and I think that's why he travelled around the forum) and helped me out with some of my GDTs

One of my favourites (I spelled it right Mac) GDT that he did was the one with the the Bohemian Rhapsody lyrics on it; found myself singing a few lines like Queen

...... thanks for everything, Ginger

Did I miss something? Did Ginger Papa pass away ???

Edit: Just visited the ‘Nucks boards, and it was confirmed. He was a funny and caring contributor. RIP GP.

Wow, very surprised and saddened by this news. What a great person he was, and could get along with anybody. His posts always brought a smile to everyone’s face. We will all miss @GingerPapa

I think he may have died young, because he told me he had not posted because he had to work long hours. If he was still in the workplace, he likely wasn’t that old?

@GNP I read Somewhere he was only 54.

Makes sense to me, as he personally messaged me a couple times on here just to say hi, and that he was working long hours.
RIP Ginger Papa
You always wonder when someone dies so young - what they died of ?
Just hope it wasn’t drugs, or alcohol ?

 

[lanky]

I have seen the future.
First the Jets win this game.
Then KFC's hairline retreats. He will learn to play the hand pan and will team up with dirty hippies to make the most beautiful music.
The YouTube prophecy did not foretell what is to come of the Oilers, but I believe McDavid will retire without ever hoisting the cup.

 

[Aggie204]

Looks like the grumpy German wont play tonight. Apparently a few posters in the Oilers board think a bunch of players are out.

 

[Hobble]

Must win. That Vancouver game shook me to my core.

According to Illegal Curve same lines that started against Vancouver.

I guess Scotty is hoping that he can duplicate his 3 point night to start the season.

Man I just hope they try to shoot on Skinner, because he's leaky.

No Draisaitl should give the Jets the advantage in pace, if they come out playing.

Ginger papa. If there is a heaven he is in it.

In regards to tonight's hockey match, it's very important to beat the oilers. They are a bunch of poo poo heads.

 

[johnnyonthspot]

Draisaitl gunning for # 50 and 3 pts back of MacKinnon. PLEASE defend him closely and limit the amount of times we have to hear their STUPID goal horn!!!!

I watch highlights and it seems he’s always wide open to get his shot off.

Or hear Jack Michaels get horny when he scores

You might have him beat.

Minor setback. The odd stinker, helps the boys stay grounded.

 

[KingBogo]

@GNP I read Somewhere he was only 54.

Yeah I read that on the main boards. Way too young.

 

[Jets 31]

You might have him beat.

If i see something or someone i like....i like it.

 

[TheDeuce]

No Drai tonight:

NHL Buzz: Draisaitl likely out for Oilers against Jets | NHL.com

Gibson to return for Ducks; Svechnikov, Orlov may play for Hurricanes

RIP Ginger Papa

It appears the Oilers have a big time replacement for Draisaitl.

 

[johnnyonthspot]

This guy is the real deal. 100% at practice or games.
Welcome back!

 

[johnnyonthspot]

Would be a good game to rest AHL Apples!

Seems fair since the Oil are 'siting' Draisaitl

 

[GNP]

Ya we need some funny gifs in honor of GingerPapa ...

Well that will be up to you to replace his loss with funny GIFs, as you and Ginger were neck and neck in that department. Those are big shoes to fill, but you can do it.
