Are the dressing rooms in another ZIP code?

And now a cheap laugh at the expense of New Jersey.
(1986 wrap party, never televised)

First!

*actually reads thread*

Oops!

 

[Aggie204]

The Devils have some solid pieces. But they don’t scare me.

 

[Jets 31]

Thanks @SUX2BU far the GDT . New Jersey and their fans when they see it's the Jets next on their schedule.....

 

[Jets 31]

Jets are definitely working on the highway right now....

 

[ocdaddy]

Toffoli revenge game. Hoping Jets can show 2 A-game performances in a row. GJG!!

 

[Guardian17]

Thanks for the GDT @SUX2BU !

The Devils should be another good test for us.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

I just realized this is game number 69 of the season.

 

[kanadalainen]

Thanks @SUX2BU

In this revealing expose, our goalies are rather intimidating, as is our xGA. It takes guts to go full commando and wear the mask 24/7....

Musings: I wonder if we get Jake "The Hake" Allan? He's been tough against our beloved coelacanth hordes.

Another top effort like that against the befeckit NY Rags Dolls would be lovely stuff. Please and thanks.

Get thee, Jets.

Keeping with the I'll Be Back theme

 

[Jets 31]

Loved the Soprano's and a good tune.

 

[kanadalainen]

How quaint when the Devil doth spit and fight,
Knowing a better Jetted spirit hath stolen his game,
And in the chase up-ice spends all his might,
To end up stymied, baffled, downcast with shame.
And Helly resurrect the blocker side biz,
To humble the proudest shot Bratt doth bear,
Hamilton’s saucy shots inferior far to yiz
Jets, let your forecheck game wilfully appear.
Lurch your breaks on PK will hold me up afloat,
Whilst we upon Schuffles cacophony of goals doth ride;
Put the torch to their tendy, see him wreck'd, the worthless stoat,
He of tall ego and of goodly pride:
Then when we thrive and the Devils be cast away,
The best was the moment we broke these popinjays.

 

[kanadalainen]

Loved the Soprano's and a good tune.

If we are discussing the Sopranos, we can't omit the great R.L. Burnside, king of the hill country Blues. Like so many blues guys, he invented something -> in this case, variations on Hypno/Trance - 35 years before its "time". Below is a remix, but merely emphasizes his groove.

I just realized this is game number 69 of the season.

Funny story: while at work, the topic of special numbers came up. Obviously the number 69 came up with the usual chuckles.

So I mentioned 68 is a special number as well. Two of my coworkers were puzzled, one was a woman. She asked me what was special about that?

I couldn't resist so I completed the joke: "It's like a 69 but I owe you one".

Both laughed and I didn't get a call from HR.

 

[John Agar]

New Jersey... the gates to hell...

The Jets are going to fire up their BBQ and roast the Satanists...

Go Jets Go !!!

[Stumbledore]

We should have no trouble exorcising these devils, but you have to wonder if the team can keep the same intensity game after game. If we get the "NYR Level' game, there's no doubt we'll win but its asking a lot to expect that amount of compete game after game.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Absolutely superb theme @SUX2BU A1 the Baron certainly likes antagonists.

Chevy as Gus Frane

Devils Tom Fitzgerald as Puddy




Eastern swing lets keep this boat sailing!

GO JETS GO

Actually, I think I will add Gus (and a couple of friends) to the GDT if that's OK .............

 

[Jets 31]

Looks like Helly is getting the night off, oh noooo now we have to play our backup goalie....... Man it's nice not to have any worries with Brossoit in net.

I got a song for that.
