Heh, so my Timmy has become hockey mad.  It's all he wants to play, everything he wants for Christmas is hockey-related.  And of course since I try to watch as many Jets games as I can, he watches a lot of Jets games.

My cousin Paul does the radio play-by-play for the Jets, and they're coming to town on Sunday.  I tried to see if he could sneak us is so Tim could get an autograph or two, but he said there wouldn't be any time because the team plays in Calgary the night before and will get in very late.

But he did just now text me a picture of a Winnipeg Jets puck autographed by rookie sensation Patrik Laine.  I'll pick it up for Tim on Sunday. Tim will be super impressedI'm sure. :)

great gift!

I once had a t-shirt autografed by Stéphane Fiset and a puck by Joe Sacick :)
Lost the puck somewhere, sometime, unfortunately :(
The t-shirt is also long gone. :(

:mad:

They showed a couple shots of him sitting on the bench - he looked just devastated.  Poor kid.

I did pick up Tim's Laine puck yesterday though.  :)

I don't think it was so much a consoling thing, as a "now just go out there and get one back for us" kind of thing.  Yeah Wheeler seems like a pretty decent captain.

And when I see how our old captain, Ladd, is doing on Long Island I'm pretty glad we traded him. :)

So the Florida Panthers just took yet another strange twist.

A few weeks after firing their head coach and leaving him on the curb in Raleigh, NC, and after various off-uce shake-ups in who is responsible for what, it has now been announced that Panthers owner Vinnie Viola will be Trump's new Secretary of the Army.  :huh:

Our army is going to lose in the first round of so many Stanley Cup playoffs we will not even believe it.

I watched the Jets vs Avalanche on Sunday. Winnipeg played a decent enough game, I like Wheeler, Little and Scheiliffe (sp?). Laine has a good shot.

Most teams look good when playing the 30th place team in the league. ;)  But yeah, I have the feeling this team could be really good if they can put everything together...

So little Timmy, when asked, would says his favourite team is Winnipeg.  As a result he's getting a Winnipeg jersey for Christmas.

If you ask him, his second favourite team is Toronto.  Why Toronto?  Because the little boy that comes to our house after school (and is in grade 3, so he's very cool to a grade 1 kid) likes Toronto.

But yesterday in school was "jersey day" - kids were encouraged to wear a sports jersey to school.  Timmy wore his Timbits hockey jersey.  But this being Edmonton, lots and lots of kids wore Edmonton Oilers jerseys.

So after school, he comes up to me and says "you know, I think my new favourite team is Edmonton.  Do you think I could get an Edmonton jersey some day"?

:frusty:

I mean - I don't care, he can cheer for any team he wants to.  But it's 3 days before Christmas - I sure hope he's not disappointed in getting a Winnipeg jersey (and a signed Laine puck, and I think an aunty is getting him a Jets blanket for his bed).




And as for the Jets themselves, after a nice showing on the weekend, they stunk up the joint against a not-very-good Canucks on Tuesday.  And weirdly, they stay in Vancouver and play the Canucks again tonight.  Hopefully we get a better showing.

Except the Penguins. If he ever announces his love for the Pens I demand immediate and fierce intervention.

The Penguins are A-Ok. They are lead by the ultimate Good Ol' Canadian boy.

The Bruins on the other hand.

I've been considering switching my allegiances to the Jackets.  Tonight's victory over the Pens was fun. :menace:
