Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2024/2025 Season

I am hoping the Jets can stay out of the penalty box tonight. Not sure our PP has improved any this season. Helle will probably have to be in mid season form tonight to get the W.

Well, not a bad 1st. period. The Lowry line is playing well.
Apps. with 3 points.
PP 2/3
Kup first goal in 70 games.
6 zip, pretty solid game for the Jets.

A little bit of humble pie for the Oil courtesy the Jets. Congrats to Scott Arniel for his first win in his first regular season game as anointed coach of the Jets. Nice to get that out of the way immediately for him and the players.

Kyle Connor's seventh consecutive season-opening game with a goal, an NHL record.

Helle takes hold of the Vezina conversation in Game one, lol.

Put the league on notice!

What a game. Third line was unreal.

WRONG AGAIN

classic

So, we really missed out on upgrading our D, what a mess they were last night.

Why did the announcers keep saying "this was a 52 win team" and "this was a 110 point team" over and over? We know, and we've been "contenders" and "first round exits" for a while.

We had 3 more wins, 6 more points, but the Oilers went to the 7th game of the SCF.

Yes, a statement start to the season. 97 more games like this and we hoist the cup.

It's game one. Both teams have a lot to work on. I had no problem with our D last night. D also blocked a lot of shots. Our 2nd. line took the night off. Need a 2nd.line C. 20 of 49 in the circle, we knew that was a problem coming in. However the PP moved the puck well, and shot the puck more often, not looking for the perfect play.

Jets place Kahkonen on waivers.

Knew it was him or Comrie... both need to clear to go down. Can't carry 3 goalers.

Moose will be fine if we lose him, but better if we don't. Good depth, just in case.

All the talking heads were predicting it'd be Comrie. Interesting.

Pigskin · October 10, 2024, 10:52:38 PM

Kah: 139 games, 2A, 4 SO, 3.33 GAA, 49/67/15, .899. 28 years old.

Com: 57 games, 2A, 2 SO, 3.38 GAA, 24/26/2, 29 years old.

I was surprised to see Comrie has only played in 57 NHL games.
