Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2024/2025 Season

[Pigskin]

This is a sad stat. Parker Ford leads the Manitoba Moose with 8 goals.

If you are PVRing the game, check it quick, the channel I was recording was blacked out.. missed the first 8 min...

Good solid win for the Jets. GV13 had a big night. Nice to see Comrie get the win. Love the play of our 4th. line.

Perfetti with a hatty (Friday) and Comrie gets a much-deserved win (yesterday). Top line had 9 points yesterday and it was good to see the offense show up for a change with Comrie between the pipes.

Nice weekend for the Jets!

[Pigskin]

On to Montreal to play a much improved Montreal team.

There's a case to be made for signing Samberg long-term: https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/jets-should-ink-impressive-samberg-to-long-term-deal/

Not only does he rank seventh in takeaways per 60 minutes (1.83) among defencemen, but according to data tracked by AllThreeZones.com, Samberg ranks seventh in zone denials per 60 (4.20). Oh, and he's recorded the 20th-most penalty kill blocks per 60 minutes (10.48) among defencemen (minimum 50 minutes).

$5M or so for 7-8 years...?

Can't give DS54 a 2 year bridge deal as he only has 1 year left on RFA. Time to sign this kid long term.

Slow start, but another good road win.

[ModAdmin]

Leading the league - 2 points up on Washington.  Not bad at all.

[Jockitch]

My gosh, how after a turtle like start (course HellB was other World), the boys put in a solid team effort.
So very much enjoyed this victory

[blue_gold_84]

Slow start, but another good road win.

The Jets dominated the second period and never looked back.

A five-point night for the top line, Hellebuyck was marvelous again, and team discipline was sound virtually all game.

Great road win.

Illegal Curve Next Day Takeaways

Since December 4th, they are 17-6-3, which is tied with the Washington Capitals for the second-best record in the NHL over that time, trailing only the Edmonton Oilers.

Compared to the rest of the NHL during that stretch, they are second in goals for per game (3.42), third in goals against per game (2.23), first in power play percentage (36.5%), first in five-on-five goal share (63.33%), and eighth in five-on-five expected goals percentage (54.18%).

The narrative that this team has been mediocre since their elite start can officially be put to bed, as they have proven over the past month and a half that they can beat elite teams and play consistently, and the results have shown just that.

The Jets are also 24-6-1 with Dylan Samberg in the lineup this season...

Looking at those stats like:



Just like they did with Morrissey back in 2019, they gotta lock up Samberg long-term post-haste.
