Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2021/2022 Season

[road griller]

The horse is out of the barn with Helle, every team knows he sucks.  He works on closing one hole and another opens, it was short side high awhile ago and now it?s five hole flat on the ice.  The average Timbits player would light him up.


Hopefully there is a sucker out there and they can get something decent for him.  Addition by subtraction.

Can you please stop with the "Helle sucks" posts? You're just repeating yourself over and over and no one is responding.

Almost like you're trying to bait someone (see what I'm getting at?)...

I am sure they agree.  Although he still has some fooled I suppose.  Hopefully another GM is on that list.

If it isn't Wheeler, Scheifele, or Morrissey, it's Hellebuyck*. Always easy to target the big names despite the fact it's a team sport and this team just isn't playing well in most phases of its collective game. That falls at the feet of every player and every coach.

Best to just ignore the occasional troll who wanders into this thread to crap on the Jets when they struggle. Rotting, low-hanging fruit is their preferred sustenance as they apply their clown makeup and defile threads.

* despite the analytics showing he's still performing well in spite of the issues plaguing the Jets: https://moneypuck.com/goalies.htm (but trolls don't do well with facts, as we all know)

Anyway, tall order ahead look at tonight's matchup with the back-to-back champs. Looks like Pionk and Toninato are out, with Brooks taking Toninato's spot.

Nicely said. Look at Oilers and all there very highly paid talent. There on another losing streak.

If there was a logical replacement for CH37, you could entertain the idea of trading him.  Comrie is not, for sure.  Berdin is still an unknown, but has potential (too bad we can't get a look at what he can do at the NHL level).

I've seen meme's of "check engine light" regarding CH37... with people putting tape over the light... which I find both funny and appropriate.  I really think he needs a break... before he gets broken.  With Berdin so close by, no reason we can't give him a shot as well...

Why trade a Vezina winning goalie who remains one of the major factors in this team's ability to succeed? Even if there were a replacement, netminders of this calibre are a rare commodity and it'd make the Jets immediately weaker at an crucial position. He's a franchise goaltender.

Hellebuyck is the most worked goaltender so far this season but the Jets still need him until they're actually mathematically eliminated from contention. Same as any other player on their roster.

I fully expect Comrie, Berdin, and others to see time with the big club once they're eliminated.

Nice win by the Jets tonight. PK is really playing well.

But the Jets suck and Hellebuyck should be traded and nobody supports this team!

But seriously, what an awesome game last night. By no means a defensive masterpiece but the offense found its footing against a really stingy team.

This season is pretty much a write-off but there's reason for optimism going into 2022-23 with just a few changes.

The place was packed, so there still is a lot of interest.

great touch honouring the Canadian women's gold medal team on IWD and letting the Ste Anne gal Laroque drop the puck.

Oh, and beating the b2b defending champs in a high-scoring game was nice too!

I'm in "just entertain me" mode now.

86% capacity... 12,895... not bad I guess

86% capacity... 12,895... not bad I guess

Considering the team has a 7% chance to make the playoffs, 86% of seats filled (or at least sold) speaks to not only the viability of this market but also that fans do care about the Jets even when they're in the midst of a bad and mostly forgettable season.

If the Bombers were in the midst of a similarly lousy campaign, I think IGF having 86% capacity for a home game would be positive.

Also, Tuesday night, which is a harder sell in any situation.

Comrie starting tonight.
