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.

 

My favorite off season sports! Pointing out how off season record predictions don't add up, there are more losses than wins lol

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

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

Yeah those zero playoff games in 6 seasons are so inspiring. Putting the team on his back and carrying them to the draft lottery every year.

It wasn’t being blinded by money so much as it was needing the infusion of cash to keep the league alive. All the talk about Toronto failing now, or Edmonton or Calgary struggling with old stadiums and BC’s failing attendance previously, is nothing compared to the death throes the league was in in the early 1990’s. No US teams and the league would have died. But the cost to the product was being required to comply with US labour laws which would not allow Canadians to take US jobs in favour of an equal or superior US citizen. So the American teams had the unfair advantage of having all US back-up players. 

Given the picture of two stoners who love marijuana, that could mean any of 24 teams from the Provinces or States where it is legal, but I’d lean to Seattle or Colorado who started it all 😉

When we officially get there (and I am on record saying it will happen! - just won’t say when, lol) I will be sure to announce it.

We have not clinched yet. Based on our current points total and the projected points that St. Louis will collect by season’s end (estimated by using their current winning percentage over a full season) we have likely accrued enough points already to get in, but it is not official yet. So far, only the NY Rangers have officially clinched a playoff spot. 

Fans of the Winnipeg Jets counts their magic number in wins, so their “3” is actually the same as my “6” in points. I feel mine is more accurate as points can be gathered without actually winning, so saying they need a combo of 3 wins or opponent losses is not truly accurate. Us stats junkies take the precision of this kind of triviality seriously!

Hoped for a better result, not not disappointed in their play today. They had the better chances on the first, dominated the second, looked good on the penalty kill and almost got through the one where the goal happened. Fluky bounce on the second one, so they really only got burned on the third goal with a bad read by Samberg when they were pressing. Even with the goals, play was pretty even in the third 5 on 5  
I’m not quitting on this team yet.

You wait until game 68 to declare the Jets as a legit team, then take all of two games to go back to “I am done watching them”. You whine about Kyle Connor never being pulled away from Scheifele’s line, now he is and you still complain. It’s like you can’t be content unless you are unhappy about everything this team does. And anything short of a Cup win will be a failed season. Which is  a miserable way to live your life a fan. 
Yes the last two losses sucked, but big picture this team is still in pace for 109 points in arguably the toughest division in the league. Given what the projections were last summer, things are pretty good now. The success of the season does not erase the concerns of the last few losses, but the stink of the past 72 hours does not diminish the positive steps the team has made. Perspective. And maybe let’s see how the change you pined for works out before saying “useless” as a default negative take. Rant over, go Jets go!

He can play one minute and it counts as a game appearance.

Pull Hellebuyck to protect him. No help today. This makes that Vancouver loss look like a masterpiece by comparison.
