Not only is this the final regular season game for both teams, it is the final regular season match for the entire league. This is the make-up game for the postponed match on April 13th because of the blizzard. While the playoffs start on Monday, neither of these two teams will be involved this year. The Jets, who are coming off of a 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames on Friday night, are settled into the thirteenth spot in the 2022 NHL Draft (barring any miraculous lottery luck). The Seattle Kraken, who potentially could draft in third spot, might actually move down a spot with a victory against the Jets. So the match does mean something to the coffee drinkers from the left coast. Will KFC get four buckets tonight to reach fifty on the year? Will "Interim" Head Coach Dave Lowry be behind the bench for the last time for Winnipeg? Will I get my income tax in before the Monday deadline? Will Mick E. Moose ever stop banging that annoying drum? Will Dennis Beyak go out with a bang, or will it be a BANG BANG, or even a BANG BANG BANG? These questions and more may be answered soon enough...

The final game of the regular season, after everybody else has rolled up their tents.

Is this like the equivalent of The Breakfast Club, or remedial school or something?

Also, since no one has brought up Plain Jane for a while, and this is our season finale...

Forget Plain Jane.

If this season is mark'd to die, we are enough
To honour no more loss; and if to live,
The few remaining fans, the greater share of honour.
The gods will! I pray thee, wish not one fan more.
Aye, I could stand for some extra gold,
Or Lord Stanley's cup;
Nor care I who doth enjoy the odd GDT contribution on my cost;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet a great Jets showing,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, wish not a fan from Winnipeg.
The gods peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one fan more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, HF Jets, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this plight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And bucks for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that fan's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd the last game of the year.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say "To-morrow marks the end of the 2022 campaign"
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say "These wounds I had during that fateful year"
Old fans forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats we did that year. Then shall our Avatars,
Familiar in his mouth as household words—
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good fan teach his kids;
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd—
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
For he to-day that watches his Kraken game with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And fans in Winnipeg now at some family thing or shopping
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their fanhood cheap whiles any speaks
That fought through with us upon the 2022 campaign.




P.S. Thanks for putting up with these poems all year. I like writing 'em, hope you enjoy reading 'em.

Awesome job @macmaroon and thanks for all the laughs! Thanks to all of you who did the GDT's this season, I'm not caffeinated enough yet to name everyone, but Jets board has the best GDT's bar none. Hope all of you out there have a good off season and still can't believe we're saying bye bye bang bang to Beyak, end of an era.

Ok, rambling done, back to coffee :laugh: GJG!!!

@macmaroon great year ender for the GDT. Excellent selections for the awards and agree with @kanadalainen that you are deserving as well.

Thanks to you and all the others making the effort to do the GDTs throughout the season. The creativity and humor on this board are great and the effort is higher than many of our beloved Jets cared to show this season.

At the game today. Hoping to see Conner-Dubois-Ehlers with about 30 minutes of ice time.

And maybe we will actually be able to mow our lawns soon.:laugh:

The ice in my pool is still thick, June 1st it might be gone at the rate we’re warming up.

Win or lose, an entertaining season (mostly).
Than you to bustamente, Mac and all for great GDT’s.

Let’s go out on a high note with a big win.

Would be a nice send off for Dennis to call the 50th goal for KFC. Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang!!!!

The sun is coming. Have a great summer all.
