Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2021/2022 Season

Love to see KC81 get 50. Like to see PL80 get another PP goal.

Comrie was lights out last night. The Flyers are abysmal but he had a great game.

50 is probably out of reach, but was happy to see him get the Jets goals and points records.

Nice to see players that were drafted here take the records as opposed to former Thrashers.

Plenty of question marks heading into this unfortunately early off-season.

Looks like the Jets also signed their 2021 first round pick, C Chaz Lucius, to an entry level contract yesterday: https://www.tsn.ca/winnipeg-jets-sign-chaz-lucius-1.1791879

NP4 another player taking responsibility for his poor performance this year. CP91 knows he needs to get stronger and faster. He has all the skills, just needs the strength, and a little more quickness.

Dennis Beyak announces retirement: https://illegalcurve.com/voice-of-the-winnipeg-jets-dennis-beyak-to-retire-at-the-end-of-the-2021-22-season/

Kinda crummy news. He's been a pretty solid play-by-play announcer.

Not liking this news.

Dennis is the best in the business. Horrible news.

He's the friendly familiar voice you hear from fall to spring during the depths of winter. Every September I'd tune into the start of Jets pre-season and think "oh, there's that voice I missed all summer!"

A real staple of Jets 2.0 and the "feels" I get for this team. Huge, huge loss.

So no Bob for Bomber ball or Dennis for hockey in 2022. So sad but enjoy retirement!!

Well, just another reason to sweep out the entire front office...

[blue_gold_84]

Anybody else hear that 55 hasn't even been in town lately ??

It doesn't seem like he left.

You're silly.

Calgary in tonight. Will be interesting to see who will be in there lineup tonight.

[Jockitch]

Very slow to match Flames puck management for near the first 1/2 of initial period, and HellB kept them in. Then WOWEE, such a great effort going forth. 
Both goalies were having terrific games and so happy that HellB proved a real gamer tonight
Many A-1 scoring chances, especially Jet players, had me thinking this might have been an 8-4 finish

Seattle, who incidentally won 3-0 tonight, will check, check on Sunday so hopefully Jets finish often

So... Jets get to play hockey in May... unfortunately its a make up game...

Just looking at the roster, and wondering how we got so unbalanced, left and right...

On the roster, we have 1 RW listed (BW26)

We have 2 RH D (Np4, DD2)

We have 3 RH skaters (MA22, MS55, BW26)

What kind of GM hands a coach that unbalanced a lineup?   If they don't re-sign MA22 and trade MS55 and BW26 (chuckle), no RH skaters left...

Having that many players playing off their natural position... yikes... and RH shots on the PP, have to wonder if that's why NP4 is on the PP...
