There shockingly wasn’t a lot of alcohol consumed by the two guys, but hot dogs were in abundance. Of course, Marshall was sporting new threads from the Drunk Hockey Show shop by Offside Gear.

In the first period we talked about the trade deadline – who were the winners and who were the losers.

Intermission saw the play-by-play call of Timbit hockey

Then the second period took a look at the NHL playoff race including who will hoist the cup and how many games it will take. It should be interesting come June to see where the guys net out on their picks.

Second intermission was a failed drunk dial as it was all about voicemail. Of course, that’s only because you NEED TO ASK FOR A DRUNK-DIAL or nominate a friend.

The third, and thankfully final period’s topic of discussion was why the guys love hockey. It was an obvious discussion around DNA, being Canadian, drinking and more.

At the end of the show came Jeff’s reluctant ”Go Wings Go” chant as he clearly lost in the hot dog consumption. Marshall managed to swallow 10 while Jeff a pathetic 6. Wonder why the hot dogs were a thing? That all happened in the pre-game.

The pre-game housed The Drunk Tank – a quick fire question trivia segment where Marshall gets to make Jeff look even stupider. For a list of the questions and answers, scroll down.

At the end of the show, the beer count was pathetic when compared to previous shows.

Jeff drank 5 beers over Marshall’s 4. Someone clearly still needs to teach Marshall how to drink!

I think for the Jets to climb back to .500 by the end of the shortened season should be considered monumental. Not because there is no talent on the team, but because they aren’t at the level they need to be yet. The Jets are still young and while most have over three years experience in the NHL, some of their key players are still well under 25.

Arguably one of their most consistent players this season has been former 8th overall pick Alexander Burmistrov who has found himself skating with Evander Kane and Nik Antropov as of late. He is still only 21 years old as is Evander Kane. Zach Bogosian just returned from off season wrist surgery and has looked solid in two outings. He had a bounce back season last year thanks to the help of Charlie Huddy. Bogosian is 22 years old.

Other players for the Jets considered to be part of their core group; Blake Wheeler is 26, Andrew Ladd is 27 and goaltender Ondrej Pavelec is but 25. Dustin Byfuglien at 27 and Tobias Enstrom at 28 round out the players this team needs to build around. That’s not to say former first round picks Mark Scheifle and Jacob Trouba are not to build around, but giving them proper time to develop is the chosen method of True North. Their time will come and they will grow into key members of this team but their first role will be a complimentary one.

Players like Paul Postma (23) and Zach Redmond (24) are just now getting a chance to play in the NHL and have proven to be solid blueliners albeit still a little rough around the edges. If not for the injury to Enstrom it’s quite possible the Jets could have looked to move one of those young defensemen for some help up front.

But getting back to being realistic, is it possible the Jets can make the playoffs? Sure. Is it likely to happen? Not baring any major moves that adds more talent in the prime of their careers. This season will be rough so hang on and don’t lose your seat on the bandwagon just yet. Next year will be better and the team should be on the bubble in a division or conference that eases their travel schedule and play more regularly against teams that will excite the MTS crowd. The following year will be the make it or break it up season. Ladd and Byfuglien will be turning 30, Kane and Burmistrov 25 and Pavelec will be turning 28. If the course isn’t on track by the start of year four to make the playoffs and contend, expect a change in the flight plan and a change in the personnel. At that point you stop talking about reaching their prime and potential and call a spade a spade (No Racial undertones implied Evander).

What do you think is a realistic outcome for the Jets this year?

It was a bit of an odd episode complete with a lot of alcohol consumed by the two guys, and who can forget the multiple personalities that all showed up thanks to the drinking game. Of course, they were sporting new threads from the Drunk Hockey Show shop by Offside Gear.

We touched on the new Molson Canadian NHL PrePlay™ app for iPhone (and Android) as well as the Budweiser Red Lights™ and how it’s clear the NHL is attempting to bring the experience of a game more closely integrated with their fans.

There was a thought to touch base on the Tim Thomas trade, but Jeff — or an alter ego of his — pointed out that it was covered on the last episode of the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Podcast.

We had a great caller from Saskatchewan who carried along with the accent game — or at least we hope it was. It was timely as we discussed adding an NHL team in Saskatchewan and if the economics of it could work. Of course, that’s what we thought we were talking about, but we truly can’t recall.

Then it came time for one of the more popular segments of the show — the drunk dial. Rich McNabb came out of the woodwork to make some calls and managed to connect with four different people. Two hangups, one call back and a total “gotcha” were a blast to be a part of.

Speaking of the drunk dial, if you’d like to be the recipient of a dial on an upcoming show, or would like to nominate a victim, then head complete the simple form to get drunk dialed. It’s fun, but of course remember that it’s late at night on a Tuesday and you need to be 18 or older.

We of course couldn’t leave out The Drunk Tank — a quick five question trivia segment. It was Jeff vs Marshall. The right answer made the other drink. Marshall took it by stumping Jeff 3 times, but that meant he also had to chug two beers — which was more like “sipping tea.” For a list of the questions and answers, scroll down.

At the end of the show, the beer count was favourable, unlike the brain cells.

Jeff drank 6 beers tied with Marshall’s 6 — down a few from the previous episode. The boat race result was what you would say quite pathetic with 1:49.7 as the total time or 27.4 seconds average per beer. About “2-minutes of that time” was Marshall. Someone clearly needs to teach him how to drink!

The Drunk Tank

Q: How many gallons of water are used for an inch of ice of an average 85′ x 200′ NHL rink?
A: 17,000 square feet = 11,000 gallons of water.

Q: If you could freeze beer, and assumed a 355 ml (12 US oz) beer can, how many cans would be needed to make the same amount of ice in the previous question?
A: 117,294.4 cans of cold goodness — but it’d be alcohol abuse.

Q: What team is the only surviving ‘Expansion Six’ team that has not won the Stanley Cup?
A: St. Louis Blues.

Q: What is the most southern team of the CHL, ECHL, SPHL, AHL, USHL & NHL leagues?
A: The Florida Panthers of the NHL in Sunrise, Florida.

Q: Who was the first goalie ever to score a goal (bonus points on the date)?
A: Ron Hextall was the first to score, however Billy Smith of the New York Islanders was the first goalie to be credited with a goal against the Colorado Rockies on November 28, 1979 in a losing effort final score of NYI 4, COL 7.

Well with Tim Thomas’s trade to the New York Islanders the Boston Bruins saved themselves some cash and managed to get a second round pick out of the deal if Thomas ever plays with the Isles. The Islanders now have $12.25 Million dollars of cap space locked into their goaltenders. The ironic part of that is only $2.75 Million is being paid to starter Evegni Nabakov in the final year of his contract. With both Nabakov and Tim Thomas are set to become unrestricted free agents at the end of the season as an outsider this deal doesn’t make a lick of sense.

That is of course until we look at New York’s cap situation. Before the trade the Islanders were sitting at $50.5 million in payroll a few bucks short of the $54.2 million cap floor. The Thomas trade pushed them over that threshold while not having to pay an extra cent to an NHL player because Tim Thomas has of course been suspended without pay for taking his self imposed hiatus from the game.

The Lubamir Visnovski drama has also finally ended on Long Island so his contract would have pushed the Islanders over the threshold so essentially what this trade is, was a favor to the Boston Bruins. We’ll give you cap relief and you give us an asset we can potentially resign and only costs us a second round pick or after the season we can trade his negotiating rights and it costs us no picks and no money.

I would be shocked to see Tim Thomas play a single game with the New York Islanders and would suspect their plan is exactly what is stated above. Despite his political beliefs and year off, Tim Thomas will be one of the most sought after free agents this summer and teams in need of a goaltending upgrade will pay with a few draft picks to get a head start on the competition.

If the likely situation that Tim Thomas does not play this season the Islanders or any team that holds his rights before his contract expires can choose to make him honor the final year of his contract, making him a potentially even more enticing trade option for teams.

It’s hard to say a trade involving a player that is sitting out his final year of a contract for a second round pick that will likely never exchange teams is a win-win for both teams but that is the case here.

What do you think will Thomas ever play for the Islanders?
