The Sharks beat the Golden Knights!

J-Dawg good to see you.

So, has anyone checked out where YOUR Winnipeg Jets are in the standings?

Jets clinch a playoff spot tonight with a shoot-out win over the Preds.

Lol Jets couldn't even beat a Goalie off the streets.

So... at the end of the regular season, the Nashville Predators win the Presidents Trophy for the most points in the regular season.

Guess who comes in at #2?  YOUR Winnipeg Jets. 

This is crazy.  I was too young to remember the Jets WHA days, and I didn't really follow the team in the 80s (where they were good, but Edmonton/Calgary were always better).  My memory from the 90s, and then again once the team came back, was they were good enough to maybe, kind of, push to make it in at the last minute, and once you were in "hey anything can happen (though it never really did)".

Now the Jets are being talked of as one of the 4-5 teams that are favourite to win the cup.

I thought you, of all people here, would recognize the Presidents Trophy for being the poisoned chalice that it is.

It's time to plan the parade route!

EA Sports NHL 2018 Playoff Predictor has the Winnipeg Jets winning the Stanley Cup.

Yes, I know this is if anything a curse, not an accurate prediction.  But I still thought it was funny.

[Grey Fox]

Going to lose in the 2nd round now.

Going to lose in the 2nd round now.

I'll take it.

Nashville looks very tough to beat.

A loss in the second round would still be the very best Winnipeg Jets season in 30 years.

[Grey Fox]

Get to the Final, can't let Vancouver have that crown anymore.

[Barrister]

Get to the Final, can't let Vancouver have that crown anymore.

Oh, I want them to to do more than just get to the final.  I don't want Montreal to be the last Canadian team to have won the cup. 

But first thing's first.

Why, oh why, isn't it 5pm MDT yet?

My boss might frown on it.
