Oh man, the Split Enz. Brings me right back to high school and first date. They were a little bizarre but entertaining anyway.

I feel like Canada was the only place outside NZ and Australia they got reasonably big. Crowded House were on their last legs by the time I was born.

I don't think Split Enz really broke in North America until 1980s though, even if they were formed before. Ok, I checked and yeah, 1980 for "I Got You" and they were bigger in Canada than most other countries. I'll track down the tune shortly but I've got some Frampton rolling in the background. ;)

And don't forget Six Months in a Leaky Boat, tying to just keep afloat.

Sounds a lot like our favourite hockey team. Maybe it needs a new captain to right the ship. :)

I was just about to post that. A song for April I think. Cause that's what this season bloody feels like.

Saw them in Edmonton back in the day and really loved the Split Enz. Still have them on my iTunes. I remember their drummer doing a pretty solid spoon solo.

That sounds about right.

And Rayner was an absolute lege on keys. He makes the band imo.

:laugh: It's great hearing all of your Enz stories.

Win! Lose! I don't care!

Burmi's looked good last couple games, hope he builds off it and gets rewarded with a goal again. Needs a point streak going.

Split Enz was a great band! The Finn bro's know how to write some absolutely fantastic pop music.

Haha love it!!! Good job!

The frustrating thing for me is that the Jets could be on a 3 game road winning streak and at .500 with a hope of getting back in the race.

Stupid plays, hot goalies for the other team, and piss poor special teams are killing us.

Hoping we can get a W tonight. GO JETS GO!

We're icing 19 Charlie Sheens so should be an easy win. ;)

This time last year we were dead even with the Sharks and they only just beat us. Won't be as close this time and I'm fully expecting to lose so I'm just here to have a good time.

praying for Connor to have a good game. Pavelec is not far from being healthy.
