GDT: Game #26: WPG@TOR | Thu Mar 11 6pm CT | "Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro...nto!" | TSN3/TSN4

[RetroWinnipeg]

"How come I keep shooting pucks into your net, senpai?"

In our last adventure, our heroes were transported to the far-off land of Toronto in their quest to become a hockey master. After their failure against the villainous Habs, the Jets would find a pretty cure to their game when faced against the all-powerful Maple Leafs. Although the blue exorcist called Austin Matthews would put his dirty pair through the net, the Jets defense would survive a full metal panic around Hellebuyck’s castle, ending in miraculous victory! And while our heroes did not end the game in one piece (Boo-Boo fall down go boom!), their legendary battle would evolve the Jets into Ultimate Jets, proving unstoppable to any foe! Backed by the crew of the TSN host club in Winnipeg, our heroes continue now to embark on a rematch against our formidable rival, with the goal of making it to the Budokan and becoming the ultimate hockey master. As our journey continues!

On another note, today marks one year since this:

Since then, the NHL did manage to finish a season, and somehow sustain this one. Wish we could be in the stands, but good for us.

 

[FFHockey]

Excellent job!

1st...wow!

Now win this before the HNIC jinx Saturday...

 

[Jets 31]

Good job @RetroWinnipeg even if i'm not into your cartoon. I think the Jets win this one just because we are the better TEAM , yes Leaf fans goaltending is part of your overall TEAM. Toronto is like this snake the guy is trying to catch.

 

[Jets 31]

First eh ? You are now like the Leafs trying not to lose 4 in a ROW.

 

[Jets 31]

Since @FFHockey and i are huge Boss fans, the Leafs are going down tonight.

How can my Muse want subject to invent,
While Shotgun’d Nostril dost tip, that pour'st to Buds’ net
While our own sweet Helly, too excellent
For every vulgar extendo-scrum, repel and forget?
Yo, give ourself thanks for linesmen blind as can be,
Worthy perusal stand Marner against his off-side;
For who's so bold as to worship the jewel’d Gods of Corsi,
When thyself dost give thy Paper’d Jets invention light?
Thy salt-sodden Muse, O Leaves judge thy Tendy’s worth
Weave those old crusty rhymes, belch’d forth to self-immolate;
And Keefe, rally yon Jumbo, and let him bring forth
Cloak’d numbers and sad presence to reflect the expir’d date.
If my slight Muse do please these curious days,
The pain of loss be thine, and thy pain shall be the praise.

Ohayo gozaimasu Retro-San @RetroWinnipeg . Thanks for the unique and cool GDT!

I would like to see Mo summon his Super Saiyan inner National (Mexico) Coach for this match, skip the calm approach.

I’m more of an [adult swim] guy myself, but when the sports stopped last year, you find yourself more open to self-discovery.

 

[SUX2BU]

Thanks, Retro

let’s come out fighting

That was my post-game thread starter

Great GDT once again @RetroWinnipeg . So many different styles we bring to HF Jets.


As on Tuesday, we’ll need Helly to block everything

With the help of Defensmen boxing out

And playing physical

Also forwards back checking

If we get a solid penalty Kill

Maybe get a

But at least make it uncomfortable for them

Let’s see an aggressive forecheck

Some sniping

And we’ll bury them again

 

[rubikscube]

go local sports team! beat our neighbour province's local sports team!

 

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

Strange and unique GDT.
I would pretend that I get much if any of the references but...

How did Beaulieu survive the roster setting.
You needed a Stanley / Niku character in his stead (perhaps some sort of two in one hybrid - big and little).

Jets please get 2 more points between tonight and Saturday!
If the Jets win again tonight I think Jeff O'Neil might cry which would be fun.

Is it just me, or does Jeff O' Neill look like he is slowly morphing into Fred Flintstone?

 

[The Blue Baron]

Thanks @RetroWinnipeg

Well Done!

Lets break the Leaves bubble, again!

 

[larmex99]

I don’t expect a win tonight but I can’t even imagine the deliciousness of lurking on the Laffs post game thread for the next week laughing like a hyena.

 

[King Woodballs]

Must win game.
Need to get it done before the typical embarrassing play on a national broadcast.

[Buffdog]

Need to come out of the gate strong

And I'd like it if we didn't have to hold on for dear life at the end

 

[ps241]

Really hilarious start to this GDT from @RetroWinnipeg @kanadalainen and then all the other posters with their great Gifs

I expect Toronto to get the bounces tonight but I will be PVR'ing and catching up later.

 

[DRW204]

Hellebuyck is good

 

[Neuf]

Tough times for leaf fans

 

[Jet]

Nothing warms my heart more than Flames and Canucks suckage!

Leafs are going to come out HARD in this one, need maximum Helle! I am less nervous about this game because I thought overall we played better against the leafs than we did against Montreal tbh. The Leafs can score but their defensive structure is definitely exploitable. Both teams have firepower but we have the stopper.

God, if we beat the Leafs clean tonight Leaf Nation is going to be a dumpster fire.
