Greetings all! It's another glorious game day and what a better way to spend it by being on the HFJets Forum discussing our beloved team! The Jets are coming off of a disappointing 4-1 loss against the Dallas Stars on Monday night missing Head Coach Rick Bowness, who was sick with COVID. If that game didn't make him sick, another game playing like that will. Hopefully, he will be behind the bench for tonight's grapple against the Colorado Avalanche. The Av's are coming off of a 6-3 victory over the current hapless Minnesota Wild and are now 2-1 on the season. The Jets will have their work cut out for them, so let's hope Bowness & Co. can inspire them to play better...
We all know that Denver is known as the “Mile High City”, but there are other facts about that city that I bet you don't know. This GDT will cover some of the more lesser known trivia about Colorado's Capital...
The 1976 Winter Olympic Games were awarded to Denver, but when the costs started to skyrocket and worries about the environment started to rise, the voters rejected it and Austria was awarded the games. Now if only Montreal would have done that for the Summer Games, maybe we wouldn't have had the “Big Owe”...
You can actually kayak down the South Platte River in the Downtown area. You can bring your own boat, or you can rent one at one of the parks...
The cheeseburger was invented in Denver at the Humpty Dumpty Drive-Inn in 1935, when owner Louis Ballast applied for a patent. The hamburger has never been the same since...
Some of you golfers might be interested to know that your golf ball will soar about 6% farther in Denver than in other cities because of the elevation, as the thinner air causes less drag. Who's up for a round...
Elvis once flew to Denver just for a sandwich! While touring, he had eaten at one of the restaurants in town and enjoyed it so much that year's later, in 1976, he flew his private jet back there, had thirty sandwiches delivered to his plane, and then flew back home after he and his crew had eaten. The sandwich in question was 8000 calories and made from a full jar of blueberry jam, a jar or peanut butter, and a pound of bacon on a hollowed-out loaf of bread!
Did you know that the Denver Mint is the largest producer of coins in the world, as it can put out more than 50 million coins in a single day! That's a lot of pocket change! So if you see any U.S. coin with a “D” stamped on it, it comes from here...
Denver was rated as the healthiest city in America for pets by Purina, ranking high in categories such as veterinarian to pet ratio and a low number of fleas. Makes me kind of itchy thinking about it...
And finally, for some reason it is unlawful to lend your vacuum cleaner to your neighbour in Denver. The question should be asked, why would you anyway...Screw them...just like the Avalanche, they suck!
