Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2024/2025 Season

[Jockitch]

WOW !!!!   Another nail biter with an awesome 2 pts collected in the standings

[Pigskin]

I thought we played a pretty solid game. Lots of scoring chances. A few to many penalties. That's 10 in a row, and MS55 passes Kovalchuk. JMo was outstanding.

[blue_gold_84]

Morrissey's so good. Scheifele gets the winner and his franchise leading 329th goal, and the Jets push their franchise win streak to 10 games.

Not a masterpiece but they made it count when it mattered most. This team is so resilient.

[theaardvark]

Tied for a few minutes to start the game, and 25 seconds to end the game, and had the lead for exactly zero seconds with the OT Winner.

Talk about gutting out a win.  Only 5 teams in NHL history have had 3 7+game winning streaks.

This has been a crazy ride this year, deep in the 3rd period I just about turned it off the annoying Amazon coverage to return to binging Lost (never watched it, at Season 4 and its getting a little too weird), but I sure am glad I didn't.

Perfetti and Ehlers seem to be getting better in tune, and Namastikov on a new deal was feeling it.

Vilardi is getting to be a must sign now, I know its easy to get stats when you have MS55 and KFC81 as linemates, but he's holding his own on that line.

Stanley made a few nice plays on the breaks, I think he's going to settle in, maybe not as a Chara, but as a solid Myers type.

Miller has a howitzer, for sure, not sure if he actually dented the crossbar with that shot.

[blue_gold_84]

Vilardi's already a must re-sign; been so for a while now, IMO.

[Jockitch]

So is the Trade Deadline going to find for our Jets active ?
Is Chevy going to surprise the hockey fans or be mute ?
Will he be moving off Heinola, an often injured Chaz Lucius ?
Perhaps Appleton, Barron moved or will Ehlers, who hasn't signed an extension, be a huge trade component, certainly hope not.

Though I truly enjoy our team presently, no doubt I am wanting to see a more quality centerman for Ehlers and Perfetti.

Any thoughts fans

[Jockitch]

Just saw on tv scroll that the Jets have called up Dolan from the Moose.

Do we have a forward injury

[Jockitch]

Seeing huge break for our boys as the Sens have ruled out
Tkachuk, Norris and Pinto for tonight's game

[blue_gold_84]

Just saw on tv scroll that the Jets have called up Dolan from the Moose. Does that mean Heinola is on waivers shortly.
Or might it mean there is an injury on the defence

I think he was called up as the extra forward: https://illegalcurve.com/winnipeg-jets-recall-jaret-anderson-dolan-from-the-moose/

Stanley is still very slow, and gives up the puck in the D zone a lot.

[Pigskin]

I would like to see Fleury back into the line up soon.

[blue_gold_84]

Stanley is still very slow, and gives up the puck in the D zone a lot.

He's been markedly better over this recent winning streak. I don't know if swapping him out for another fringe blue liner (like Fleury) would make any difference.

After extending Namestikov, it seems to me his play has improved dramatically.

The season long lament was that we need a true 2nd line C.  Namestikov has stepped up.  I don't think he's the best 2C in the league by any stretch, but he's been OK.

If we picked up a rental true top faceoff guy to play 2C and moved Namestikov to the 4th line, I'd be surprised.  Unless VN7 was part of the deal.  And his new contract makes him a little more attractive in a trade.  So, maybe.

I can't see us trading for a top 4 Dman, unless something ridiculous comes on the market, and we don't need a third pairing guy, we have like 8 of those.

Ehlers will not be traded, he will be an "own rental" unless something amazing comes back in return. 

Our bottom 6 and bottom pair are all solid, tweaking them might cause more harm than good after the season they have put up so far.

Do you need to improve on the best team in the league?  I guess you can always get better, but why mess with it?

[Pigskin]

I would like to see the PP get going tonight.

[Jockitch]

The Sens battled but HOORAY the Jets win again
Scoring 2 within the first 4 or 5 shots was huge and of course HellB was almost perfect ...... otherwise our work in the dot was terrible in the first 2 periods and we just never seemed to use the body much.
However, a win is truly great to have
