What’s gotten up your pretty, little nose?Īnswer Lady: Well, unlike a lot of the faithful who continue to drink the True North Kool-Aid and genuflect at the sight of Puck Pontiff Mark Chipman, I’ve grown weary of the Little Hockey House on the Prairie being a no-playoff zone. Question Lady: Wow, you’ve sure got the growl on this morning. That’s down to the Fiddle-Farters Three in the ivory tower. But I’m not going to blame the kid for being fast-forwarded when he wasn’t ready for prime time. I mean, really, he might as well wear a dainty evening glove on his catching hand. I could be real mean and say Hellebuyck has one thing in common with the late Michael Jackson-Jacko wore a glove on one hand for no apparent reason, and so does Hellebuyck. Question Lady: Who doesn’t belong? Mikey One GloveĪnswer Lady: Andrew Copp is a borderline NHLer and if Connor Hellebuyck is a legit starting goaltender then I’m the U.S.

And I’m not convinced all those guys belong in the NHL. Can you not give credit where it’s due?Īnswer Lady: Who do you think made those picks? It wasn’t Chevy. All the evidence you need can be found on the Jets’ roster-Puck Finn, Rink Rat Scheifele, Twig Ehlers, Jacob Trouba, Adam Lowry, Andrew Copp, Connor Hellebuyck. Chevy’s track record at the draft is superb. If the ping pong balls bounce the right way for him again this year, he might land Nolan Patrick in June. It wasn’t Chevy who plucked Puck Finn from the pool of available talent. Question Lady: Ya, but you have to admire his handiwork at the entry draft, no?Īnswer Lady: What, you think choosing Patrik Laine with the second overall pick last year was a stroke of genius? As if. Except, of course, at the NHL’s annual crap shoot of teenagers. He does nothing during the season-unless Dustin Byfuglien hurls someone’s clothing into a tub of ice-and he does nothing during the off-season. I expected him to do nothing, because nothing is what he does best. Question Lady: What did you expect Chevy to do?Īnswer Lady: That’s the trouble. I’d change the channel, but it’s like a car wreck…I just have to look. I mean, stop me if you’ve seen this show before: The local hockey heroes are in the playoff conversation for about five months, Kevin Cheveldayoff does nothing to enhance their prospects of joining the Stanley Cup tournament, they fade, they’re eliminated, then they do boffo business in garbage time.

Or perhaps I should say so much hasn’t happened since then.Īnswer Lady: Well, this entire Jets season seems like an old TV rerun to me. Anyway, so much has happened since our last gabfest. The eye-twitching has finally stopped and I should be off my meds long before he’s impeached. I had a bad reaction to the Donald moving into the White House. Where have you been, girlfriend?Īnswer Lady: Suffering from PTS-Post Trump Syndrome. Question Lady: My oh my, it seems like forever since we last got together to discuss our favorite hockey team. Yes, my Hens in the Hockey House are back and one of them is in rather foul humor, not surprising given that the Winnipeg Jets have frittered away another National Hockey League season.
