GDT: Game #8: Winnipeg Jets @ Arizona Coyotes - Friday, October 28, 2022, 9:30pm CDT - "This arena ain't big." - TSN3/TVAS/Hulu/Power 97

[RetroWinnipeg]

Stay tuned later tonight for the Winnipeg Jets on CKND with Brian Swain, Don Wittman, and Pit Martin. But first, it's time for locally-produced Canadian content for children that fortunately isn't "The Rockets"....

[somewhere in Tempe...]

Size Small,
This rink's not tall,
Why are we here anyway?
This concept's really dumb,
God help us everyone,
Cause we might end up staying here forever
La-la-la-laaa-la-la-la-looo

Size Small,
Too soon we'll fall,
We're throwing up everyday
There's bleachers in the stands
This could end up very bad
And Quebec looks tempting and nice.

Hello everyone. Is everyone ready for hockey at Size Small Arena?

Not really, Miss Helen. The locker rooms are only tarps and upside down garbage bins.

Well too bad, the game must go on.

Now let's open the arena with a great big sneeze. Ahh choo!

C'mon in!

Can you tell me which of these toys is smaller than Mullett Arena?
If you answered none of them, you are absolutely correct!

Of all the arenas in all the towns in all the world, they walk into the one that's named after a hairstyle. Sweetheart. You're beautiful.

I have this O here for "Oh my gawd! How was it possible that a major professional team has to play in an arena the size of a suburban garage?"

Time for Friend-Record to tap some spoons.
"Tap those spoons, just like tapping that puck into the net. Don't do anything fancy now, just tap it in..."

Hey, it smells awful in here. Is it coming from you?

Nope. It's the Vancouver Canucks stinking up the joint!

[random Vancouverite scrolling through this post]

Here's a song with a coyote in it that's purely innocent and not dirty sounding at all...

I hope you boys and girls had a fun time inside the Size Small Arena.

They're playing an a WHL-sized facility. Just let that sink in...

Bye bye, and take care.

"Coming up next, it's "Pee-onk's Playhouse", right here on Good Lookin' CKND."

That Phoenix arena must have gotten money from Billy Ray Cyrus .

 

[Jets 31]

And Jets don't break our hearts tonight.

 

[kanadalainen]

Thanks @RetroWinnipeg

A good comeback win in LA will be capped nicely by a thorough blasting of the Dogs.

A thorough blasting, please.

Some continued great play from our bottom 6 forwards is most welcome.

 

[SUX2BU]

Thanks Retro

Put the slippers to Bettman's team, ASU .....................

 

[Guardian17]

Thanks for the retro GDT @RetroWinnipeg !

Speaking of retro horror, I do not want to see a repeat of last night's 1st period!

I just hope the Jets have running water in their dressing room!

 

[kanadalainen]

When Barron shalt be disposed to hit the total of 2,
And KFC uncappeth his 11 herbs and spices,
Upon the undersized arena and over Dogs we'll scoot,
Big Save will conspire to shed his shabby minor vices.
With mine own ale tankard being best acquainted,
Upon this season’s opening few can I set down a story
Of some tough schedules and this current tour not tainted,
Aye, this dogg-ed win shalt glean much glory:
And recover’d Lurch shall excel - in this will be a gainer too;
Yo, sending all my loving thoughts to rally,
The injuries that chance might conspire to do,
We stoics in Jetland vantage, and double-vantage we.
Such is my love for unsung Jets unflagged, and so I bang the gong,
That for microscopic rights achiev’d, will inspire this rhym-ed song.

 

[SUX2BU]

Some more retro horror ........

would you like some more ......... pancakes ?

 

[bustamente]

You think the dressing room arraignments are sub par they 1 one these for the whole team

 

[John Agar]

The Mullet Arena....

Har...

 

[John Agar]

Some more retro horror ........

[Inanna]

Wouldn't it be nice tonight to watch the Bombers wrap up their season with an injury-free victory and then switch over to the Jets game and find we're leading 4-0?

 

[Aggie204]

This is from the Winnipeg Jets social media feed. Since the home team is responsible where the away team sleeps, they decided to place the club at the Lamdba Lambda Lamba frat house at ASU.

 

[sipowicz]

Any status report on tiny guy with the big head?

 

[Nedarb]

Gotta admit, vajmelka lives rent free in my head ever since last year lol hope we have an answer for him tonight.

 

[Grannyjetfan]

5 to 2 Jets Win
KFC Scores first goal

 

[surixon]

I hope they are thoroughly embarrassed at last night's effort and come out ready to play and take it to a vastly inferior opponent.

Love your “Jetland” reference..
Fits in with the Saxon invasions by the Angles, Saxons and “Jetes”

 

[AlaskaJet]

Only Winnipegers can appreciate all those years we anticipated Mason Appleton to step up..”HALLOWEEN APPLES!!”
GJG!!

 

[The Blue Baron]

I love the retro horror especially with Tatas

Can our best players, namely forwards, please show up!

Is it No Save Dave today?

 

[Guardian17]

Here's a pic of the Jets locker room in what Craig Button dubbed Mullett Square Garden.

Coyotes stay optimistic, hope for intimate atmosphere in new home at Mullett Arena

Depending on your point of view, having an NHL team playing in a state of the art college arena could be the best of times, the worst of times - or somewhere in between.

@Grannyjetfan, could you please post this in the Prediction Contest thread just in case I forget. Thanks!

 

[robertocarlos]

Arizona should just fold and go away. Hoping for a 7-1 Jets win.

 

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

Last nights game could have been stopped on points.
The Jets looked like they needed mercy.
Scheifele's goal was a small bright spot but then LA just double caved us in from there.
If they had gotten a better performance from their goaltender that likely ends differently.

Demelo's missed empty net was pretty awful.
He could have taken about half off of the shot and made sure that he hit the net.
Good thing that didn't cost us.

Lowry seems pretty good on breakaways, if the Jets top dogs are struggling in our shootouts then maybe he shoot get a chance? Or maybe those moves only work on the PK.

Good thing this thread is for talking about tonight's game, not bitching about last night's win
