The resemblance is striking.

I didn't know he played himself in Harry Potter until I saw this thread...

He has a new nickname now... Scabbers

Would you guys rather:

1. Win the Stanley cup this year
2. Win the no. 1 overall pick
3. Be guaranteed a vaccine by September of this year
4. Win a lifetime supply of toilet paper and hand sanitizer

Number 3, obviously, because hundreds of thousands of people won't die and we might avoid an economic disaster worse than the great depression.

What if the hand sanitizer in #4 is replaced with Taco Bell?

Topics from Jets coach Paul Maurice day 5 scrum from the bubble in Edmonton

1. What are the biggest challenges going up against Matthew Tkachuk?
2. How would he describe the mood around the team?
3. Being the last team on the clock on Saturday.
4. Did Gabriel Bourque put Jansen Harkins into the game or did he in the 3rd period of the exhibition game?
5. How does his experience help heading into this series?
6. What did he see from Patrik Laine and is he ready to go?
7. Challenges presented by OT.
8. Is there more of a challenge in facing the Flames having had only one game against them?
9. Recognizing the chaos and managing it.
10. Does he still anticipate Nikolaj Ehlers being a full participant in practice?

I think the Jets will win this series (in 5 games), but won't go any further than that. That Flames' goaltending is really suspect and Hellebuyck is...well, Hellebuyck. But it's a relatively even match-up, otherwise.

and I didn’t know honey badgers could type

 

[CaptainUgly]

Jets about to make some serious noise in the post season......and we cant even celebrate it go figure.

 

[John Agar]

Depends which version of honey badger you mean...

Bad ass... ?

or bad asshole version... ?

 

[Tommigun]

Friedman can take some of that hair on that goofy beard and paste it on that huge bald spot on the top of his head.

That’s bald shaming.

 

[SUX2BU]

That’s bald shaming.

but, but he has a lot of hair .... on his face

 

[flyingkiwi]

I blame jet lag and the fact that the NHL app displays dates weirdly, but I could have sworn we were playing today.

There was a recent article in the athletic where the writer essentially showed that other then in goal, the flames have the edge.

Yes.

What if most of those deaths are Leafs fans?

In all seriousness, Stanley Cup prize should include free vaccines for everyone in winning team's city. There's a Mark Wahlberg movie there.

 

[Mud Turtle]

I think all the Flames need to be given the "sister" makeover.

Hmmm. That’s not a bad idea!! Bunch of girlies.
Maybe starting with Connie Hockey.

 

[Mud Turtle]

Or Matti Tkachuk.
I wouldn’t want to play against HER either.

Hey, I would be more impressed if there was software that could make JG look like a man.

Keep 'em comin', MT.

I’m not sure that’s even possible. Unless you want to go with mugshot Johnny or porn star Johnny?

Jets were such a mess from an analytics point of view this year that of course the Flames are ahead in most metrics. the playoffs are a different ball game though and we shall see if being healthy and playing more aggressively through the NZ will pay off.

I was getting some of the 2017 Penguins vibes watching the systems we played in the exhibition game. Imo this is the way we have to play with are below average dcore and high octane forwards.

Anyhow I am quite excited for this to get up and running tomorrow.

There was a recent article in the athletic where the writer essentially showed that other then in goal, the flames have the edge.

That guy's model has the Jets as one of the worst teams in the league.

I think it's obvious that the Flames have an advantage on D, Jets in net, and forwards close to even.

If any of you subscribe to the Athletic, there was a story where a former Jet's Alumni (his dad) says he has a face you want to punch.

As an Oil fan, it might not be a bad idea to print out a bunch of his likenesses and staple them to telephone poles and stuff for some good old old time fun after a few beverages . Not my problem if you break your own hands going overboard though.


'He has that face you just want to punch': Matthew Tkachuk isn't about to change the way he plays

how many Jet fans are going to be annoyed at excessive Keith Tkachuk interviews?

I'll only be annoyed if they drag Jamie Macoun out of the woodwork.

Elliot???
Oh my.

Kind of looks like a homeless Ben Affleck here. Bizarre.
