GDT: Stars @ Jets | Fri Oct 11 | 7PM | MTS Centre | "Footgate"

[Gnova]

October 11th, 2013 - MTS Centre - Winnipeg​

​

In celebration of the new Central Division and in order to welcome the Dallas Stars into the Jet's division I have decided to dedicate today's GDT to a historic moment in the Dallas franchise history.​

​

1999: Hull's foot yields contentious feat​

If football is a game of inches, then hockey is a game of feet. At least that was the case in Game 6 of the 1999 Stanley Cup finals, an epic match that began with the Dallas Stars enjoying a 3-2 series lead over the Buffalo Sabres. With just five minutes remaining in the third overtime period, Stars winger Brett Hull goes to the front of the Sabres net, corrals the puck with his foot, takes a shot on Buffalo goaltender Dominik Hasek and then puts his own rebound over the sprawling net minder for the championship-winning goal.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION​

In order to help build mojo towards a Winnipeg Jets victory against the Stars I call on all HFJets members to post a picture of your foot placed somewhere that it doesn't belong.​

Help show poor Brett that everyone puts the wrong foot forward sometimes... although most of us don't end up with a Stanley Cup when we do.​

If we lose this one we should fire Noel, #JustSaying #SameOldSameOld #BunchOfScrubs #EmptySeatsTomorrow?

 

[Kinjero]

beauty GDT!

 

[Shadowdancer]

I'm sure the Jets are well rested for this game, 'cuz they were asleep for most of the last one. Still, I'm optimistic. Time for the team to shake it off and come out swinging aganst the Stars. 3-2 Jets for the win.

 

[BizZombie]

Great BDT.

It's inspirational for the Jets to give the Stars the boot.

Jets prevail 4-2

 

[wpgsilver]

Great BDT!
Please win.

 

[sipowicz]

Would like the Jets to rest Stu, slot clitsome with postma in the bottom pairing

 

[CorgisPer60]

Great GDT to get our minds off of the game tonight.

 

[Positive]

If we outshoot the Stars, I will consider that a victory.

50 vbucks on the Jets.

How long of a rest...

If we outSCORE the Stars, I will consider that a victory.

I think I may have fixed it for you?

 

[alchemyindex]

Benn, Seguin and Eakin are going to demolish us if we play like we did last night. Let me be wrong, Jets, let me be wrong!

 

[Positive]

How long of a rest...

I don't know, the last 4 games have been pretty discouraging. 2-2 but we should actually be 0-4. Most people would say they'd rather have an ugly win than a good loss? But as far as long-term trends go, I'd rather have the good loss.

 

[JustBeCool]

The sky will be falling if the Jets don't win and I am def. not looking forward to that. Let's get some happy vibes going. GJG!

 

[White Out 403*]

At this point my expectations are so low I just want the team to show up and not get dominated. Jesus 2-0 seems so far away.

Forecast for the skies look pretty bleak. I predict 20 pages of the following:

"Why is X playing with X? X should be on that line instead."

"Why is X getting so much ice-time?"

"Why is X still in the NHL? What we need is to call up <insert moderately talented but unproven youngster from AHL>, he's tons better fo sho"

"Fire Noel."

"Lol I told you Noel was a bad coach a year ago with my crystal ball I have here in another province, which I don't actually watch games from."

And of course, 100 posts mentioning James Wright even though he was not the sole reason we lost the game. 50 posts about Jokinen even though he has a somewhat decent game.

"Clitsome" and "pizza" appear at least 5 times in the same post.

 

[Positive]

On the plus side, we'll probably see 'Trouba was our best D tonight' a lot. But I guess...that's not really a plus. Unless you're looking at the team 6 years from now (and he's still on it).

 

[YWGinYYZ]

Nice GDT Gnov^h^h^h^h Sweeny!

I expect a dominant performance, and lots of parade planning afterwards.

Go Go!

 

[King Woodballs]

I hope Pavelec plays
I want to see this place in complete meltdown mode.

No reason not to play him. I don't care about the yadda yadda he is bad in back to backs blah blah

It is ****ing game 5 not 55
There is no reason you should be tired. Christ they would have been home in bed by midnight last night.
He is your #1 goalie. He is paid as your #1 goalie.
It's an important divisional game. Get out there and play.

 

[Diatidialga]

For the love of God please play Monty

 

[meedle]

Ya I agree start Monty, btw its not only back to back... It's going to be 3 in 4 nights as the next game is Sunday against Jersey.

 

[Gnova]

Please show up tonight ffs.

 

[King Woodballs]

Rather Montoya play jersey
Not "as crucial" to win a game vs the east as it is against a division opponent.

 

[Guerzy]

It's 1-0 this season as we won vs. LA last Friday night, so... here goes nothin'.

Actually it sucks. My original GDT did work out so had to quickly toss something up.
The effort was very Oct 10th Jets-like.
