“Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Winnipeg to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether.”

My normal predictable self of course: The Jets aren't going to make the playoffs, what the hell is happening to this team to meh even if they do make the playoffs it will be short lived to wow they actually made it in to

 

lessssssssssssssss gooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

it's times like this I'm glad I got to go to at least one White Out party back when it was still free of charge (why no away game parties? I expect late ass starts for games 1 and 2)

Attend the White Out…or else! - TNSE Marketing

An sentence that caught my attention taken from a piece by Bryan Murphy Sporting News:

'There's no debate about who the Jets starter is. Like he has done all season, (and let's face it, most of his career), Connor Hellebuyck is going to be putting Winnipeg on his back, trying to nearly single-handedly get the team wins in the postseason'. 

Ummmmmmm sure I get the we go as Helle goes and sometimes this team fails miserably in supporting him (i.e., offensive and defensive support) but to me the bolded parts especially are a bit over the top. Last time I checked we do have other talent on the team. 

Don't know who Bryan Murphy is and what his background is but don't like him. 🙂

Marketing gone wrong

kind of makes me glad I went to the Jets store yesterday mostly to buy stuff for a display at work, also a teacher is going to lend me a copy of one of Helle's books

Go Jets Go, though.

How exclusive of them. Thanks for the link. I don’t care how we got into the playoffs, I am excited we are back and will be at game 1 loud, proud, and adorned in white.

They can't! In order to claim the tax credit, they would have to declare that $5 as revenue. 

They get no tax benefit from passing on the contribution, same as when any grocery store asks you to donate $1, $2, $5, etc, to some charity of their choice.

Much appreciated. 

I still don't like the increased costs to attend a Whiteout Party, though.

That's okay, you probably won't be able to get tickets anyhow.

Let's go boys.

VGK are going to be upset that everyone is taking the Jets. They'll want to jump out fast. 

Tough not to take the Jets with Helle but VGK wants the best team this year in the west and they're getting a star back just in time. 

Vegas in 5, hoping I'm way off.

This is the logical prediction that makes complete sense.

But, lesss gooooo.

[Noeller]

Vegas for sure... Just not sure how many games. Jets are so bipolar since the new year, you don't know who's going to show up, and with no Ehlers and Perfetti, I just don't think they have the horses to win 4 games. 

[HardCoreBlue]

Little plays like Wheeler hustling to wave off icing in the dying seconds of the period so no face off in our end impresses me.

[captaincanuck12]

Jets should be up 2 goals. I thought the Jets dictated play that period.  Let's hope they play more like this in the second. This bodes well for them

[captaincanuck12]

KFC draws first blood!!!

[captaincanuck12]

PLD makes it 2-0!

[iHeart]

75 stitches....ouch

[iHeart]

and there goes our shutout

[captaincanuck12]

Jets were sitting back too much.  Took their foot off the gas.  

Now a Vegas power play coming up.
