Great post on Gilbert Arenas's blog; here's an excerpt:



 
Hilarious stuff.

What a finish.... too bad the Oilers couldn't seal the deal as they lost it in the shootout.  Here's a longer video of the play, including slow mo replays and some vitriol from the announcer on Stefan blowing the empty netter.

There's a great post about the Winnipeg Jets at Off Wing Opinion.

Here's the youtube video that he attached to his post.  He's linked to a couple others so be sure to visit his site to view the others.

I had moved to Toronto by the time that happened, but I remember watching that report and I vividly recall Eddie O's promise to bring the Cup back to Winnipeg.  In my mind, I knew that was a foolhardy promise and one not likely to be fulfilled, but boy, it sure was stirring to see and hear that back in high school.

Here's another great youtube video that brings back memories of players I'll forever associate with the Jets: Bob Essensa, Fredrik Olausson, Phil Housley, Dale Hawerchuk, Thomas Steen, and of course, Teemu Selanne.

It was awesome to see Teemu in his #13 Jets jersey again.  I loved his rifle celebration upon breaking Mike Bossy's rookie goal scoring record.  I'll have to bring down my Teemu figure next time I'm back in Toronto.
