GDT: Jets (35-15-5) vs Coyotes (23-29-4), 5pm CST: "Razing Arizona" edition

[AlphaLackey]

The accolades have been raining down for decades.

"A beautiful and hilarious farce, one that is as relevant now as it was decades ago, one in which the setting of Arizona itself is part of the laughter and absurdity of it all, as much as with any of the human characters."

"Laughter that comes in waves without surcease, as the character known as "Mr. Arizona" goes to any length to look out for his most preciously beloved child."

"A saga that ends with the principles in the farce looking back on it and wondering '. were we actually in Utah all this time?'"

.. but enough about the Coyotes franchise.

----

"Raising Arizona" -- not to be confused with "razing Arizona", which is what we're going to do this evening -- is one of the earliest movies from the Coen brothers. And even though it's fair to say that it wasn't as good as their piece de resistance, Fargo, you can see the basic pieces being put together for perhaps the first time.

Violence, slapstick, geographically topical laughs. What more does one want in a feature film?

Now, because it's been like decades since I've seen this movie, I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave the follow up to you all. General purpose Coen Brothers references -- I know we got that one "The Dude" poster who's gonna love this -- also welcome. And yeah, I'll probably put this movie up for some pre-game viewing to get me in the mood.

Until then, may the Coyotes offence be too barren for Bettman's seed to take purchase, and if I get a punition for dunking on the Coyotes, may I quickly free myself upon my own recognizances, recidivist that I am

Jets projected starting lineup. Of note, Ehlers 2nd Line, Stanley out, Schmidt in.




Coyotes starting lineup still not listed.

 

[Jets 31]

Thanks @AlphaLackey for the GDT , i can honestly say that i have never seen Raising Arizona, i will have to watch someday. Dallas won last night but we are 3 points behind with 4 games in hand, i like our chances of passing them for 1st in the Central......

 

[Jets 31]

Music for tonight, don't know who Becky is but soon we will be Looking out our backdoor at the rest of the Central division.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Thanks @AlphaLackey thanks for stepping up!

I to have never seen that one. Is it any good?

Best the Yotes don’t poke the Jets or they’ll get burned








GO JETS GO

 

[Stumbledore]

When we let a bottom-dweller like Chicago tie us in the final minute of play, you have to worry about our chances against the desert dogs. On paper, we're much better than this team but the game is played on ice and a few bad bounces or weird deflections can cause a lot of damage.

I hope we come out hard and fast and run up a three goal lead in the first period and then don't take our foot off the gas. If some of our slackers can break their scoring droughts, so much the better.

And personally I found Raising Arizona kinda limp, nowhere near the brilliance of Fargo, but humour is a strangely personal thing.

Let's come out fighting! Go Jets go!

 

[Jet]

Let's keep er going Bonne Sean!

 

[SUX2BU]

Posting the traditional gif for Count Bettman’s team

We are playing a team that has lost 11 straight and for some reason that scares the shit out of me, Jets better show up from the get go cause you don't want to throw away points against this team.

Thanks @AlphaLackey for taking on another GDT, it is much appreciated! Loved the movie Raising Arizona, but haven't watched it since it's release on VHS (never was a Beta guy). I can still yodel to the music, though the neighbour's dog can probably do a better job at it.

Spoiler: Click here for Yodel clip from Raising Arizona - Don't click if you haven't seen it...

Let's hope 2.0 is better than 1.0 today. Gotta bury these desert dogs and put them out of their misery. Poor things, wearing pajamas and all that...

Go Jets Go!

Raising Arizona was a great movie, great cast Cage, Hunter, Goodman and McDormand plus Randall Tex Cobb, Directed by the Coen bros. so the dude abides. Ok then.

After a Saturday night off too, yikes. Maurice Jets would have lost every time. But I have faith

 

[gojetsgo]

lets put them away early and not let them hang around

 

[CorgisPer60]

Better beat the pants off of them, guys. Enough getting caved in in the DZ.

 

[John Agar]

The soon to be Utah Fighting Saints...

Bettman wants Mesa... Valley of the Sun...

But Salt Lake City wants to swap...

Go Jets Go !!!

[DRW204]

expecting a fully dominant game from the Jets. maybe even a TD+extra point scored.

 

[Jetland162702]

Thanks Alpha.
Lets hope the Coyotes take a big

 

[Guardian17]

Thanks for the GDT @AlphaLackey !

I want to see the Jets destroy the Coyotes.

Unfortunately I'm a half glass empty guy and these types of games worry me, if we win well you're suppose to beat the shitty teams, if we lose how could you lose to such a shitty team.
