GDT: Game 16 - Pittsburgh Penguins @ Winnipeg Jets - Saturday, November 19th, 2022 - 6:00pm CST - SN360/CITY/SNW - CJOB/POWER97

Tonight, the 10-4-1 Winnipeg Jets take on the 7-7-3 Pittsburgh Penguins in a battle on Hockey Night in Canada. Kyle Connor scored a hat-trick in the Jets 3-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks, while Sidney Crosby scored two goals and added two helpers in the Penguins 6-4 win over the Minnesota Wild in their last game.

When you think about Pittsburgh, the Steelers, Pirates, Mario Lemieux and Heinz Ketchup probably come to mind, but did you know there are other fascinating facts about the “Steel City” that you may not know about...

Pittsburgh’s name spelling has changed many times. The “h” on the end of Pittsburgh was actually left off, added, taken off again, and added back...

Pittsburgh is known as the “City of Bridges” because it has 446 bridges which is more than Venice, Italy, or any other city in the world...

The emoticon was invented in Pittsburgh in 1980 by Carnegie Mellon University computer scientist Scott Fahlman...

The Polio vaccine was created by Dr. Jonas Salk in Pittsburgh in 1950...

Pittsburgh’s Beechview neighborhood is home to the steepest street in the United States (and possibly the world): Canton Avenue. It is as steep as 37 degrees...

Are you in the mood for two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun? You’re in good company. Jim Delligatti, a McDonald’s franchise owner, invented the beloved Big Mac in Pittsburgh. He started selling his creation in his 47 McDonald’s restaurants in Pittsburgh until McDonald’s got on board with his idea. Delligatti also helped develop the hotcakes and sausage breakfast meal to feed hungry Pittsburgh steelworkers on their way home from overnight shifts...

In May 1918, the country of Czechoslovakia was created in Pittsburgh when the Czechs and the Slovaks signed the Pittsburgh Agreement...

World War II had a profound effect on professional football in Pittsburgh. During the 1943-44 season, the Steelers and Eagles combined teams and formed the “Steagles”. Their record? 5 wins, 4 losses and 1 tie. It was the FIRST winning season for the Eagles, and the SECOND for the Steelers. I wonder if Milt played for them...

The Pittsburgh Steelers logo has stars, right? Not really. They are actually called “hypocycloids”. The logo is actually a derivative of the U.S. Steel Logo...

Let's leave the Penguins beheinz and keep scoring so they can't ketchup! Go Jets Go!

The trifecta of bitching

Man the Dude is getting smart by reading all of @macmaroon GDT's . Speaking of Penguins the Jets just need to use a little bit of defense to win tonight.

 

[Jets 31]

And our music, since a Penguin is a bird.

I cannot stand playing against Sid , he seems to always get away with something when we play him whether goalie interference or a questionable hit….still an awesome player.
I hope we can finally beat these guys it’s very much a rarity.

[Jet]

We always struggle on hnic snet. Let's break the curse!!

 

[Guardian17]

Thanks for the GDT @macmaroon !

Now that the Jets have shaken off the rust from their layoff it's time to get to work.

They'll need a much better effort against the Penguns.

Pittsburgh is certainly doing their part to increase goal scoring in the NHL.

According to Game Day Notes:

Mike Luck is new to the NHL. He is the play-by-play voice of the Oshawa Generals.



Awww, yaasss!

Oh man I love the Hoosli mens choir. They always sound amazing and the night they sang the Ukrainian national anthem was a moment I will never forget.

 

[kanadalainen]

Go Jets Go
Go Hoosli,
Git the deep fryer goin' for some KFC




Thanks @macmaroon

My oldest kid lived in Pittsburgh for 4 years... lived close to Pitt campus - > great place, the parental units visited her many times. The vibe in "dawntawn" Pitt is cool, friendly, much like a gigantic Winnipeg, with more bridges. Fun fact: All of the old steel producing industrial portions of the city have converted to upscale urban housing.

Despite this and in my travels, I spent many an hour naturalizing near the three rivers but have failed to spot an errant penguin.

What's he that wishes so?
My nemesis Lord Crosby? No, my fair fellow fans:
If we are mark'd for pucks, we are enow
To mark thy Pittsburgh loss; and if to live,
The fewer forwards, the greater share of honour.
Bone's will! I pray thee, wish not one injury more.
By Hoosli, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth chug beer upon my cost;
It yearns me not if my mates my Reverse Retro jerseys wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires:
But if it be a sin to covet a win over Pitt,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my HF horde, wish not a soul from Winnipeg:
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one more Helle-borne shutout, methinks, would bequeath to we
For the best hope I have. O, to wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Jetted friends, through my host,
That they which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let them depart; their passport shall be made
And crowns for Goose Island put into his purse:
We would not die in that person's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is called the feast of St. Peggians:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of the Pegger.

I've never faced Sid one V one, but I know of what you speak

Only the City of Winnipeg would be stupid enough to host the Santa Clause parade on the same day as an early start NHL game. Good luck finding parking or just getting into the general area. They could have held the parade next Saturday no problem.

I'm not usually a fan of fake fighting, but this is well done. The girl in blue is preparing for her back flip before the foot comes up to her face, but otherwise this is beautifully choreographed.

That would shave a week off the hyped-up gotta buy for Christmas season. The merchants who sponsor the parade want it staged before Black Friday.

Hey Jets

Crosby and gang are going to crash Hellebuyck (as always)

They’ve have the refs (as usual)

 

[tbcwpg]

I'd try Heinola over Samberg tonight after Thursday but it looks like the same lineup again.

 

[Stumbledore]

Time to promote someone from the Moose to fill in for Ehlers long-term.
