GDT: Jets vs Blues (Feb-9th 7pm) - "Bohemian-style"

Food for thought.

Games remaining = 28 games
Four 7 game series = 28 games

Just win 4 out every 7 for the next 56 games and we're good

Maybe I'll track the last 28 like it's a playoff trial run

Black Label in stubbies circa 1984

Yeah.....Jeeze I drank that one too. Holy crap..I drank a lot of bad beers. Oh well... I'm making up for it now. Lol...

If we don't win, I expect the PGT to be "interesting "

If we were 81-1 the PGT after the loss would still be apocalyptic. It’s just some people love to complain and it’s not unique to the Jets board.

If I have one quibble about this GDT, it's that The Beer of Champions got left out.

Sorry I realized early on I was going to leave dozens of notable beers off but decided to stick to the name / player connection

Somewhat on topic I always think of this St Louis beer when I see Scheifele.

Expecting Blues to get romped again as Winnipeg is the class of the Central this year IMO. it’s amazing what some consistent goal tending has done for you guys with that incredibly dangerous Forward lineup.

In keeping with the GDT here's a look back at two former brewery's in Winnipeg
Drewry's Brewery at the site that is now Boogies at Redwood and Main

And the Labatt's/ O'Keefe's Brewery where Great West Life is today at Broadway and Osborne

Great stuff. "Medicinal beer" is of interest as it reverberates through the lost corridors of time, and resonates with "medicinal electric salad".

The O'Keefe brewery's brutalist design smacks of something off a Pink Floyd album cover.

Some of the greatest commercials in history have been beer commercials.
This beauty from Carlton's gained a lot of attention.

You've done it again Z5GG! I'm not much of a beer aficionado so I wasn't expecting too much but this is great.

And, Hey, I scored!

Maurice for the first time admitted that Laine prefers to play on the left. Said he's a faster player on the right. Not putting Laine with 55 & 26 to get them going. It looked like s good idea in preseason but didn't love it. Just likes PLE too much to **** with that line

I like this honest accurate answer. Laine was not working on the second line and Perreault is. This is more about not screwing with that line and hoping Laine doesn’t drag down Scheif and Wheeler. I love Patrik but he needs to have a good run here.

Wait, does he mean that he didn't put Laine with Wheeler & Chef at the start of the season or that he's not putting him with them now?

E: Listened to the interview. So, start of the season, obviously. Funny how he says that he shouldn't think much about passing. He's right though. Just shoot the damn puck when you have a look at the net Patty.

 

[Shazzam]

The optimism for this game has never been higher, which worries me that we may be setting ourselves up for a big let down. The Blues are one of the top teams in the league and our games with them have usually been very tight.
I'm nervously excited. Hope the Jets come out flying and get the crowd behind them.

In keeping with the theme and at risk of revealing my age, does anyone remember this beer?

Uncle Ben's....see below.

not sure etxactly what you are asking. Maurice was answering a question about why Laine is playing with Wheeler and Scheifele now.

If you want the exact context you should watch or listen to the presser

 

[grieves]

Maurice seems like a smart dude, and is under no obligation to tell the truth . Not saying he is not because I don't know but it's not like this is the trumpet of absolute truth.

Just cracked open a beer for a bit of kalsarikännit (not wearing just underwear and not exactly alone but close enough). Not gonna miss this one!

Shazzam above is right. What usually happens after big expectations is a massive let down . So yeah definitely waiting for a let-down. Hear that hockey gods?!

 

[Kaako Kappo]

notnsure exactly what you are asking. Maurice was answering a question about why Laine is playing with Wheeler and Scheifele now.

I know, i was really lazy with my grammar. I was just asking if he meant that he's not gonna play Patty with 55&26 tonight to get them going, or was he talking about the start of the season. But i got it now, i listened to the interview.

Not sure why I couldn't paste this image right into my original post. Hope this works

I don't like beer.

Literally one of my favourite beers. The only "cheap" beer worth drinking & more importantly hangover friendly. Basically the same price point as Lucky but as good as Heineken.

Always keep it around for guests.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

The key to the game will be to score more goals than the opponent.

 

[ps241]

I don't like beer.

Now you took it too far

 

[EpicGingy]

The key to the game will be to score more goals than the opponent.

I disagree. Allowing fewer goals than the opponent is clearly more important against this kind of team.

 

[Jet]

It's not an opinion but rather a fancy stat probability model

I was wondering why it seemed like horseshit

 

[ATHF]

My contributions to the theme...

The malt plant on Dugald that my old man worked at (and I even worked at for a summer or two)...still supplies tons of breweries as I understand..

And then the musical interlude I am surprised no one posted yet (and if they did, I apologize, I was scanning through quickly at work)



Hoping for a clean two points tonight for 55's return..

Can we even get Pils in MB? I don't recall ever seeing it at the LC. Not that I would ever be looking for it, lol....but I wouldn't mind having some available when my Sask friends are in town.

Awesome GDT once again Zhamnov. Need to make a beer run after that.
