GDT: Predators @ Jets - Jan 7, 2025 - 7PM CST - TSN3 - BEATLES

[John Agar]

I don't want to merely echo Voyager but the Jets seriously need to nip their losing streak in the bud. This nicely spaced home stand is when we need to bank some points. We have to hit the ice with speed at the start of the game, not halfway through, and focus on doing the basic things correctly. Think goals, not posts and crossbars.

You can have your blonde bimbo good luck charms, I'll take the Return of Kanadalainen as a token of good fortune that I can embrace with all four paws. The reappearance of our prodigal poet will portend victory tonight and many more in the weeks to come.

Kandadalainen is no Bimbo...

But he is a Mimbo poet laureate...

Rocking out to this gem this afternoon:

This is unequivocally my favourite Beatles song.

 

[bustamente]

I don't want to start my journey to the ledge but the Jets need to win tonight, we got LA and the Avs coming in on a b2b this weekend and those are going to be really tough games

Thank you @Inanna. A modicum of pressure is mine - but I will try to deliver.

+++++++

I'll try to be wise and stay mine inner fool; do not press
My tongue-tied delivery with too much disdain;
Lest sorrow lend me words and words express
The manner of my hockey - watching pain.

 

[Inanna]

I just found out that Nashville will be finishing up a six-game road trip so they're going to be tired. Except, they played games 4 and 5 in Vancouver and Calgary as a back-to-back and won both of them. They outscored the opposition, such as it was, by 7-1.

This will be Helle's third try at reaching his historic milestone. Mom used to say that the third time's the charm. (And, no, I don't now why.)

Thank you @Inanna. A modicum of pressure is mine - but I will try to deliver.

Yeah, what he said.

 

[kanadalainen]

Just for contrast, here is kind of an anti-Beatles vibe..

Usually saved for a Jets victory, this is one of the better songs to offer the statement "you are my happy trail".

Also notable is the quick repair of the drummer's crash, mid-song.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Those lads from Liverpool wrote many good songs didn't they?

 

[King Woodballs]

Jets better win or changes should be a foot!!

 

[Aggie204]

Jets better win or changes should be a foot!!

Yup, Stanley on the 1st pairing!

 

[Jets 31]

Jets better win or changes should be a foot!!

Like what ?

 

[The Blue Baron]

Thanks @Mud Turtle - the beatles combined sick lyrics, deft and novel chord progression and poetic nuance to most of their creative works - made more astounding when one realizes the sheer volume of work they cranked out in a short time. Their contributions continue to influence. _Yesterday_ is surely a masterpiece.

I always enjoy your offerings of mirth and wit.

As promised I am back from self imposed exile to less publically trodden lands.

Of course I missed this place..and all of this bedraggled assortment of friends, colleagues, fans. Good to be back. Salutations.

Now, to business. Nothing like a solid thrashing of a team forced to wear yellow colours. A sad bunch of blighters, despite their worthy (imho) GM.

Toast to the Jets.. in a long schedule there may be ups..

and downs..

But we all know its fun to pummel the preds. <holds up hand> I do solemnly swear to contribute and lay down poetic justice in the service of our Winnipeg Jets henceforth, so help me (the pantheon of assorted) Gods.

<shakes out dust>

Mirth. lol

Doesn't matter, as long as they add up to 12".

Doesn't matter, as long as they add up to 12".

Good one.

 

[wraithsonwings]

I'm all for gender equality but why do they show off his ass and not hers?

Balancing the scales.

 

[Jets 31]

Ya and they have songs that get stuck in your head.

 

[10Ducky10]

My "I did not care for the Godfather" moment is I never really got the Beatles. I like a song here and there and appreciate their influence on music in general and musicians that followed them, but overall I'm not really into it.

Oh, and go Jets.

I feel for you.

I used to love it when the Jets played the Preds.
It made them play the "right" way.
Not anymore.

This reminds me of a game the grandkids used to play during their Seasame Street phase.

One of these things is not like the other.

I’m sure it will match the winning score

This is great news! Boy do we ever need Samberg back as soon as possible. He’s not very flashy but nice and steady.
