NHL 2021: I Pledge Allegiance to Gritty

[Jimjamesak]

And in the “Canada looks awful” department: the US leads 4-0 in the second.

The meltdowns on Twitter and Reddit are happening already. :-)

On a lighter note- or is it heavier- found out that the NHL player in my neighbored was served his divorce papers while exiting the rink at the end of a game. Courier threw papers at his head down the tunnel while kids were hanging over and yelling for autographs and yelled “you’ve been served” lolololol

the not funny part is the write up of all of this is public in the state court and I read all 9 pages of the current battle.

Wait, what?

[Jimjamesak]

USA beats Canada 5-1. It is the largest margin of victory for the US over Canada in the World Championships or Olympics.

Wow, Winnipeg scores three in three minutes to tie it at 4 late in the third. Going to OT now.

Yeah a little over a year ago I was sharing a bit here about seeing their marriage really fall apart, wifey changing garage key codes on him etc .

Also, IIHF had me start looking at the Olympics.

If the NHL does send players, there could be some real bad blowouts. Group A is Canada, USA, Germany, and China.

It's hard to tell exactly where China is currently since they haven't played any tournaments in two years, but in 2019 they were a point from being relegated to Division 2B. Connor McCavid against a team that loses to the likes of Australia and Spain? I feel like we could see some of those USSR 20-0 games they used to put up.

Collapse complete. Peg up 3-0 in the series.

Auston Matthews being fed by Patrick Kane.

Oilers were never gonna win the Cup with that backend.

Have they ever advanced?

Not just this incarnation, but either?

The current Jets definitely have, in 2018. They stomped the Wild and beat the Predators, eventually losing to Vegas in the conference finals.

I guess the original Jets advanced to the second round twice, in 85 and 87. Both times they beat the Flames in round one, lost to the Oilers in round two.

Conference finals against Vegas 3 years back. I know, I forgot too.

Conference finals against Vegas 3 years back. I know, I forgot too.

I guess because Vegas was the only story that year. I don't even remember who beat Vegas. Was that the Caps Cup?

[SonofSouthie]

Any team the sends the Capitals packing is pretty ok by me.

Yes.


And 2017-18 was the first time the Jets 2.0 franchise had made it past the first round. Until that Western Conference final run, they were 0-for-8, being swept by the Ducks in the 2015 playoffs, and the Rangers (as the Thrashers) in the 2007 playoffs.

You can take the NHL team out of Atlanta, but you can't take Atlanta out of the Jets franchise.


Jets 1.0 had two first found wins, but lost in the Division finals in 85 and 87.
