Oh man. Great song

edit: it's actually amazing how many death threats that girl received in the wake of this

It's Twitter. Anyone can get death threats on Twitter. We're a lot more sensitive to that kind of stuff four years later, even the subtle "I don't wish harm on you but I wouldn't cry if you got hit by a bus" is seen as much less of a joking matter than it was when this song came out.

Back in my day, you had to get your death threats right to your face (and as a casino dealer, I got me plenty; getting your first was a rite of passage). Nowadays, anyone can just send out 100 an hour, and most of those are from trolls sending them out to the people you're arguing with.

But seriously though. I can think of a hundred adjectives to describe this song; "great" ain't nowhere close to it

Not first! So we should win then!

But I am a musician, and if your performance has not only caused your audience to turn away but to issue you death threats, you have really accomplished something amazing with your art.

Nice replacement lyrics, despite that atrocious song
Go Jets, hopefully our starting goalie is the same as our finishing goalie

From what AVCO posted it looks like the exact same lineup as the Caps game , no Helly and no Armia . I think Maurice is a very smart person and a good coach but why not tinker with Chevy's lineup until we win and play better ?? Sit a veteran forward or D to try and wake some of these guys up !!

 

[KingBogo]

Curious if they give Helly his shot today or wait for tomorrow's game in Denver. Hutch has now dropped down to a .906 Sv% and in a dead heat with Pavs listed 45 & 46 in NHL save% leaders. This team needs more than good goaltending, but it would be a start.

 

[Hhane Snidy]

HAHAHAHA!! Awesome GDT Kent, great lyrics! Looooool.

Go Jets Go!

 

[Derfel*]

Great GDT!

This is the moment that the season turns around. I think.

 

[Aavco Cup]

From the PGT thread

Perreault-Scheifele-Ehlers were pretty dynamic earlier in the season. They have intimidating speed. They also were among the best possession lines in the NHL.

Yes I realize that but they were getting third line minutes and third line matchups earlier in the season. Ehlers was being sheltered. It was Maurice putting him in a position to succeed.

To continue sheltering Ehlers you would be dropping Scheifele & Perreault's ice time.

To unshelter Ehlers you increase his ice time and force him to play against tougher competition.

The matchups that each line gets are part of the equation.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Great GDT but that song is going to drive me nuts all day.

2:00 will roll around and it will still be "FUN! FUN! FUN! FUN! FUN! FUN! FUN!"


"WHICH SEAT CAN I TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!"
***** it's a 4 seat car and you have 3 friends in there. Take a friggin guess.

meh. I'd take a goal a game from a line over an extra minute or 2 of ice time. That line looked great when they were being sheltered...

I think the real problem was the Burmi Lowry Stafford line being a major liability on the ice for 18 minute per game

 

[nobody important]

An inspired GDT! Let's hope the Jets perform better than she did.

 

[rehf]

Will be working while game is on. I'm not going to look at phone until the end of the first and I expect us to be leading.... Maybe.

Yup. They've split them up to different lines too. Like saying, we don't want these three on the ice together, at the same time, ever again.

Yeah, and things have been soooooo much better!

wont surprise me at all if they go with Hutch again today and then Helle tmrw. Goalies are a weird breed and that would screw with Hutch if he doesn't play today. Id assume Helle will play one of these games so the safest bet is to play him tmrw. Hutch is rested up and there is no reason for him not to start. Having said that if Hutch craps the bed today and Helle plays well tmrw, then you go with the hot hand for the following game

Basically in a nut shell Jets will give these 2 their audition today and tmrw to see who takes the reins for the next couple of months IMO.

I feel its a win/win for Jets fans cause I guarantee Hutch feels the pressure and knows that if he has an off game today that there is a stud sitting on the bench waiting to get his chance. He knows that the hockey world is eagerly anticipating Helle's debut and I imagine that Hutch wants to make the world wait longer until he plays multiple games. I am predicting a strong game by Hutch today

 

[ERYX]

Great GDT!

That pic of Chevy with Ladd and Buff in the car is pure gold.

 

[Just Ducky]

It'll be Hutch today- PoMo is way to conservative to throw a rook in a pressure cooker. Please no more softies

Ladd got off the shnide last game- he gets another today. Expecting a good day for LLW

Expect a good game from Buff as well

Praying, wishing, sacrificing a goat- we don't kill ourselves with stupid penalities

I'm gonna think they give Hutch the start today to basically redeem himself with The Saviour looking on from the bench. If that doesn't push Hutch and he craps the bed today...

Hnidy was saying this morning on the big show he believes players have been given an ultimatum and if things don't change on the ice today changes are coming to the roster.
