On my way to Los Angeles for a conference. Missing More Jets hockey as usual.

Hoping for a win to kick off this road trip. Barring a collapse we will finish in one of the top 3 spots in the central. I look at all three slots as interchangeable due to the very solid level of competition.

That being said I like winz

 

[AlphaLackey]

Surprised that it's Patrik O'Laine and not Kyle O'Connor but great GDT, again, as always Mac

Thanks @macmaroon

I am hoping that Laine recovers well, his latest issues underscore a career that is itself a poster child for unmet expectations, poor bastard.

Ireland is but a hop, skip and a jump from Medieval Norway, Sweden and Denmark, and has been a 1400-year attraction for those with attachment to the pantheon of denizens within Valhalla. For thousands of years Ireland was fiercely defended from invasion by all manner of invasive species - coelacanths, Vikings, Norsemen.

From Britannica online: "The first appearance of the Norsemen on the Irish coast is recorded in 795. Thereafter the Norsemen made frequent plundering raids, sometimes far inland. In 838 they seized and fortified two ports, Annagassan and Dublin, and in the 840s they undertook a series of large-scale invasions in the north of the country."

Fast forward to modern professional hockey.

Norsemen? Medieval Battles control of Ireland? The Jets current road trip is a worthy (if not somewhat tenuous) analogy for the seige of Ohio. We are literally from the land of ice and snow.

From the immortal Immigrant Song

We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming
On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore

Have I sequestered your attention?

Go Jets go! Thrash the Blue Jackets.

Thanks for the GDT @macmaroon !

Columbus always seems to give us a tough game.

Hope everyone has a fun St. Patrick's Day!

Nay did I wonder at the Blue Jacketed swine,
Nor praise the deep vermilion in Bone’s chilled nose;
They were but sweet, but deserved well to whine,
Behold our chilled invasive Jets, no chance to get hosed.
Yet seems its winter continues in the Peg, (no shyte Jack),
Whereon the stars in secret influence comments bled
And in these drama’d days we HF boardsfolk tap and clack.
Heavy with spoils, Jets get thee to Ohio’s cannon’d spread.
The dear repose for they with steady wins attired;
And thus begins a journey in our Tendy duo’s heads,
To blow thy mind, when the popcorn bowl expired:
Brew pour’d heavy with an exuberant splish
Numb-ed any zealous loving pilgrimage to thee,
Yo! Lets pray the Jets defence pulls something close to wish,
Delivering darkness for only squashed jackets to see.
Pump thy buoyancy sacs friends, enter the Houses of the Holy
Smash the home squad properly, with our weaponized Toffoli.

I absolutely loved Ireland when we went a few years ago and on one of our tours the bus driver played Galway girl by Steve Earle and i had him play it 3 more times and the entire bus was singing and clapping to the song and laughing every time i got up to tell the driver to play that one more time.

OK, when you go to Ireland again, let me know, I want to be on that bus.

When we went to Dublin we were actually lucky enough to get into the Temple bar and have a pint, it wasn't St Patrick's day but man is that a busy area. If anyone wants to check in on what's going on over there they have a live camera.

Deal because we are definitely going back one day soon.

TSN game this afternoon - whot ho, thus the slippery slope slide into Leaf centric minutiae will be deemphasized.

4.5 nanoseconds following the Avs/Oilers match up.

Ron Maclean: OK, the Oilers lost. Kelly, your thoughts?

Kelly Hrudey: GUD GODD ME LUVV LUVVS DE TRAKKING UH DEPOCK BY SANPSONOVV, UND DUH TOB SHULF SHOTZ BE TAYVARUS

 

[The Blue Baron]

Thanks @macmaroon from Blue O’Baron wishing you and all a very Green St. Patricks day minus any Rough Rider apparel

Unfortunately I’m sick as a dog today so a Jets win would go a long way for the Baron.




GO JETS GO

 

[DRW204]

Expecting another convincing win.

 

[King Woodballs]

If I was the coaching staff, with back to back shutouts and this game being vs Columbus.
I would think long and hard about starting Larry Bro tonight.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Irish Hotty for good luck today!

Another Irish hottie, this time for the ladies

EDIT: At least I hope they find this a hottie; if I knew what women liked then my younger years would have been far less lonely

I want to go back also. I proposed to my lass at Blarney Castle. Got wrecked at Temple Bar, stumbled around Galway, hammered at the Jameson distillery, juiced at the Guinness brewery. And my gal still said yes!

Glad to see they spelled whiskey right for the micks. If you try to know what women like it'll drive you crazy, no 2 are alike.

 

[bustamente]

Another no excuse game that the Jets need to win, have to keep pace in the Central

 

[Stumbledore]

And just for luck on Paddy's Day -
