    I get it because it's after the whistle and that's viewed as disrespectful, but Tkachuk is (shockingly) wildly overreacting.

    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).

    From Rick Dhaliwal:

    'Elliotte Friedman on Elias Lindholm injury : I heard a rumor he might not play the rest of the regular season but multiple people told me I shouldn't go with that'.

    I find this such a non-statement say something just to say something from EF.

    As another layer to this and something I didn't know, I just read that Eugene Levy said that Joe Flaherty played his character as slightly drunk and never told anyone. He's a just a half step behind everyone, slightly sloppy, and a bit wobbly. No one realised it until later. If you watch it you can see it!

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

    Also why do ppl say blue during the Anthem. ? 

    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.

    A win and an Edmonton win over St. Louis in regulation tonight and the Jets punch their ticket to the post season. 

    Oops, error on my part. If this scenario happens, the Jets will indeed rid themselves of the Blues as competition, however Minnesota will still have a mathematical chance of surpassing them. But if the Jets do win tonight the. A loss of any kind eliminates the Wild, which could happen as early as tomorrow. So the celebration will have to wait for now.
