Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2024/2025 Season

Such a satisfying victory with really a consisten, defensive effort from all.
Young Dolan is a hitting machine and a nice compliment to play with Barron and Tanev

With their production last night, Connor and Scheifele are the first duo in Jets 2.0 history to crack 85 points each in a season.

Oh, and more one thing: major kudos to Ehlers for not taking any guff from Steel last night.

I thought the ref missed the tackle by Steel, and then the sucker punch. As much as I don't like NE27 fighting, I agree he had to defend himself.

The game against the Hawks on Saturday is one of those trap games that we can't fall into. We just played three very good games, got to jump on them early and put the away.

I can't see them laying an egg in this one, they know what's at stake. I expect they'll bring their A-game.

Some very sloppy play early. Also, some D-zone breakdowns late. However, the SO win gets us the point we needed. NE27 injury didn't look good. I hope we rest all our big guns for the next two games. At the end of the day Dallas lost to Utah.

Well, Perfetti does that dirty goal the other night, and then the SO winner tonite, I am very, very happy that they showed patience with him and he's going to be around a while.

Leave it to Ehlers to get injured by a lineman.. hopefully its not bad

Magic number of 2 for the President's trophy...

Jockitch · April 13, 2025, 04:52:30 PM

First 3 shots had things going the Hawks way but fortunately
the gang started getting big saves and drove the play

Hoping that the Fly recovers.
Next couple games may see some "key" boys in the presser to avoid injuries prior to playoffs.

Well, Washington lost so give us the Presidents Trophy. Tough to see DS54 get injured.

J5V · April 14, 2025, 12:51:50 AM

There was no penalty there. Why did the ref call hooking on Scheiffele when there was no hooking? I don't understand and now one of our best defensemen is hurt. That's a lot to swallow. Isn't the home team supposed to get the benefit of the doubt from the refs? Why are the Oilers being given free power plays? What is going on out there?

Congrats Jets!

Central Division
Western Conference
Presidents Trophy.

My goal for this season was to just enjoy the ride and not worry about play-offs until they got here. That went as well as it possibly could have.

Now the nail-biting begins.

Pretty crazy weekend! Lock up the division and conference in pretty wild fashion in Chi Town, and then win The President's Trophy by default yesterday.

Sounds like Samberg is okay, which is a relief.

On to the playoffs!

theaardvark · April 14, 2025, 04:32:51 PM

Hate winning the President's trophy because another team lost. Kinda lame, much better to do it with a win. But hey, its a first. Playnow still has them 11-1 with 6 teams (DAL, FLA, CAR, COL, LV EDM) favoured higher and Tampa the same. Bulletin board material.

One game left, how many do we rest? Are we going to call the entire Moose lineup up for the game? Kinda makes sense, nothing to play for and everything to lose. I know, every hockey player wants to play every game, and injuries are part of the game, but really? And the other idea that you need to keep playing and not let rust come up, one game off?

You know anyone that is nicked, or even was nicked should sit. Ehlers, Samberg, Pionk for sure, give Helly another night off, I'd sit the top line (55 and 81), 44, 17... but you know some of those guys will not let themselves be taken out of the lineup.

Round one, here's hoping 91 helps 27 get going early. The second line is going to be key...

Pigskin · April 14, 2025, 06:28:16 PM

I really like the play of NN62 and MB36 the last couple of weeks. Both have turned it up another gear.

To be successful in the playoffs, believe we have to get the 2nd line going. A total of 3 points from NE27, CP91, VN7, in there last 5 games. PP also has to be better.

D is also going to be a key. 2/44, 4/54, 5/6. Now of course this is if 54 is healthy. Stanley is the 7th D-man. Just to slow, and gives away the puck to often.

Getting GV13 back sooner then later. The PP hasn't been good since GV13 went down.

Hellebuyck the favourite to win the Hart: https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/jets-connor-hellebuyck-favoured-for-hart-as-season-winds-down-habs-lane-hutson-a-lock-for-calder-1.2288641

QuoteIf Hellebuyck were to win both the Vezina and the Hart this season, he would join an elite group comprised of Jacques Plante, Dominik Hasek, Jose Theordore, and Carey Price as the only players to do so in NHL history, while also becoming the first Jet to be named as the league's most valuable player.
