GDT: Game 06 - St. Louis Blues @ Winnipeg Jets - Monday, October 24th, 2022 - 7:00pm CDT - TSN3 - CJOB/POWER 97

[macmaroon]

The Winnipeg Jets take on the St. Louis Blues tonight at 7:00pm. The Blues are currently the NHL's only undefeated team at 3-0-0, after a 2-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday. The Jets, on the other hand, are 2-3-0 after a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the dreaded Toronto Maple Leafs. Both teams are going in opposite directions, so let's hope the Jets can turn things around this evening.

We all know that St. Louis is the “Gateway to the West”, but here are a few fun facts that you may not know...

The tallest man in documented history was Robert Pershing Wadlow from St. Louis. He stood at 8 feet, 11.1 inches tall. I wonder if he could be a good pairing with Logan Stanley...

St. Louis is known to consume more BBQ sauce per capita than any other American city. That must be one messy city...

Before he became famous doing Skip The Dishes commercials, St. Louis' own John Hamm was a drama teacher, who taught Ellie Kemper of “The Office”...

The first successful parachute jump from a moving airplane was made by Captain Albert Berry in St. Louis in 1912...

7 Up was created by Charles Leiper Grigg, who launched his company, The Howdy Corporation, in 1920. He came up with the formula for the drink in 1929 which was originally named “Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda. Which we are really glad was shortened.

It was one of a number of “medicine products” popular in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. Its name was later shortened to “7 Up Lithiated Lemon Soda” before being further shortened to just “7 Up” by 1936.

It contained lithium citrate, a mood-stabilizing drug, until 1948. No one really knows why the name was changed to contain the term 7 Up or shortened to just 7 Up.

In 1928, Jim Howe, a pharmacist in St. Louis, developed TUMS in the basement of his home while trying to figure out ways to treat his wife’s indigestion. A love story and less heartburn…two things we are here for!

Needless to say, TUMS caught on and Howe began commercial production in 1930 in downtown St. Louis.

The factory complex remains the main manufacturing site for TUMS...

If the Jets keep playing the way they have been, we will all be needing some TUMS before too long... So let be the "first" team to give St. Louis a loss this season!

Go Jets Go!

Tough game
St. Louis is physical and very complete.
This would be an awesome win.
Full effort GJG
( I’d say they’re my second favourite team except tonight)

 

[surixon]

The Jets played the Blues well last year. Hoping for a much better effort then on Saturday.

 

[SUX2BU]

Thanks Mac

A full 60 minute effort tonight and get in Big Nose's grill

 

[kanadalainen]

Thanks @macmaroon - I learn something with each of your GDTs.

The Jets will be in for a real tilt, again. The Blues are no slouch.

And of course this year has us facing the phalanx of good teams, with mixed results.

We will need Wheels to pound one home, Lowry needs one of his allocated 15 or so, as well as maximum Coelacanth effort from Gagner. eg, Secondary scoring needs to bring it for the full send.

Pound it home lads.

When I have seen Bin's glove hand defaced
And Kyrou’s proudly outworn and cheesey visage;
When sundry Blues’ towers I see down-razed
And their broken ass gives rise to Parayko’s rage;
When I have seen our hungry fanbase gain
Advantage on the kingdom of the score,
And the firm soil win of the frozen water main,
Secondary scoring quelling Tank and O’Reilly, the whores;
When I have seen Schenn and Krug on a plate,
Or Berube himself confounded and decayed;
Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate,
That Time will come and try to chase a fat win away.
Aye, this thought is as a death, which cannot choose
Its an uphill fight to have that which Jets fear to lose.

Thanks for the last minute GDT @macmaroon !

I expect the Blues to play heavy as usual.

Hopefully, we can start scoring some goals.

 

[DRW204]

I really liked the blues fwd depth last year. With buchenevich hurt and Perron gone, it is thinner, but still could cause our guys fits. Expecting a game with lots of chances.

I'm hoping for a much better effort from the refs.

They were the difference in the game in my mind.

I think that doesn't give enough credit to how poorly the Jets played for long stretches of time, running around in their own zone and playing perimeter offence.

I'm not saying their offense was on point, absolutely not.

I'm just saying that the refs blew calls at key times that led to Leafs goals.

The 3-1, definitely. I don't think the wrong team won the game though.

 

[Jets 31]

Great knowledgeable GDT @macmaroon , the Dude just got smarter man . Going to be a tough game tonight, the Blues are well rounded hockey team. Me wanting some of that for the Jets.

 

[Jets 31]

Speaking of the Blues.....

 

[macmaroon]

Thanks @macmaroon - I learn something with each of your GDTs.

 

[kanadalainen]

I mean the inclusion of a soluble salt (citrate) variant of lithium in 7-UP, cocaine in coca-cola. What could possibly go wrong??

 

[Joe Hallenback]

There lack of any offense from the Triangle area around the net is dreadful. What is the point of getting shots from the back if you can't get any rebounds? Samsonov left so many juicy rebounds last game. Too many guys sitting in that umbrella and not enough heading to the net

Ill be at the game tonight. First one of the year

 

[Atoyot]

Meanalainen out, Toninato in. Appleton still on the top line, Gagner on the 3rd. Everything else is the same.

First line has to get inside the slot more.

Flip Gagner and Appelton and it looks better imo.

Is Samberg still injured?

Yes and yes.

5 things we've learned about the Jets after 5 games

 

[Guardian17]

Looks like the Jets wearing their Heritage Jerseys again.

 

[Atoyot]

Naw.

Sounds now like Maenalanen is probable for tonight, so no Toninato.

 

[jetsforever]

Nice GDT!

We usually play well against the Blues so hope we can get back in the win column tonight

 

[DRW204]

Naw.

Sounds now like Maenalanen is probable for tonight, so no Toninato.

just get wheeler on pp1 at this point. what is appleton adding really? on the pp just standing and dishing wheeler would be fine. & gagner too.

this is where heinola could help.... morrissey hasnt been great on the PP, and dillon on the PP, really? i know moose are just coming off a b2b though.
