You don’t get to go to bed early and guess at outcomes!!! Where’s your pride in being a stats nerd????? The pocket protector squad will be after you!

Whoever picked the 3 stars last night must have mistaken the guy in the #37 jersey for a giant piece of plywood, figuring that the Shooter Tutor made all those stops. Hellebuyck was the best player on the ice and it wasn’t even close.

Well we won but I am not pleased with the mindset. Cannot sleepwalk through 30 minutes and expect to win. And Bowness’ line combos are still head scratchers. Questions to be answered, will the media ask the tough ones?

That OT point for each team puts the Preds into the playoffs and secures 3rd in the division for the Jets.

Some bad habits showed up that period. Can’t play defensive shell for 40 minutes. Need more attack in the 3rd.

And Jets clinch 3rd in the division with a win. Saros having a bit of trouble with rebound control early.

I just bought two tickets for the Grey Cup In Vancouver. Time to move on from the past and prep for the drive for five!

Start the rumour mill

4th line carrying the team today - bodes well for the playoffs if all lines can get going.

If I was a reporter who didn’t worry about being blackballed by the club, I would have loved to have asked Brady “You seemed really upset about that empty netter after the buzzer. Just wondering where that fire was in the preceding 60 minutes?” (Yeah, I know he hit everything that moved and got a goal in the game, but this kind of clown move does not scream “leader” to me).

Century club! 💯 And Chicago does us a solid beating the Stars clean.

Mr. Cheery strikes again….

Gotta give Gabe the lucky hat trick song. Going with Madonna instead of Ol’ Blue Eyes tonight.

Oh my God I totally cannot un-see this now! That is subversively brilliant.

It could also spell Mike. There is even an “E” in common! Hmm……….

“Flight termination” is not the kind of pre-game inspiration I was hoping for 😳

The beatings will continue until morale improves!

The top team in the conference plays the lower wildcard seed, regardless of which division each are in, so right now Dallas would play LA and Vancouver would get Nashville. Likewise, NYR would get Washington and Boston would get Tampa.

I believe we ripped it off from Saskatchewan. In the age of fan bases dropping their team names or symbols as a chant during the national anthem (like the “True North” shout out), the Riders jumped on the band wagon and wanted to come up with something for their team. I am told (although I never noticed it in any games I attended at Mosaic) that when the line “glorious and free” came up, the fans changed it to “glorious and green” in a quasi rhyme reflecting their team colour. We co-opted it and went with the completely non-rhyming (and non-sensical) “glorious and blue” as a direct copycat move. Also because we didn’t want Jets fans having all the fun. Why we don’t yell “Blue” for “True” North Strong and Free instead is beyond me. Seems like a much more sensible fit and borrows the Jets theme but makes it Bomber centric.

This skit always made me laugh a lot harder than the concept of it should have. As for the Pepsi joke at the end, IYKYK.

Blues win in OT, so magic number down to 2. Next chance to clinch is Thursday.

Perfetti again! All I can say is: N’ A!!!!!!!

Connor 0 goals, 2 assists, and -10 the last 6 games. Tonight 3 assists and +1.

Perfetti with a goal and an f-bomb. One assist away from the John Tortorella hat trick.
