Oh man, George of the Jungle. What a random GDT theme.

I loved that movie as a kid, this brings back memories.

@njdevils1982 posted the laughing video after one of the games last week and it jogged my memory that it could have a lot of useful GDT gifs.

It's one of the only movies I can keep my 3 year old son still for a significant portion of it, and it's honestly a funny ass movie as an adult.

I don’t think it is overstating to say that beginning Thursday through the new Year is the most important stretch of the season. 3 games against the Hurricanes, 2 vs Washington, 2 vs Rangers. They finish the season series vs the Caps and Hurricanes.

Come out ahead during this stretch and you have assured the playoffs and are competing for the division title. Come out behind and the team is firmly in a wild card spot or worse on the bubble for the rest of the season.

I'll give this game the most important award, Canes are pluswise (+30) and pointwise higher than the rest.

I'm still a sceptic. A good fought game here can go long way. Unlike the Panthers games, I expect this to be almost a playoff style intensity.
