Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2024/2025 Season

Scheifele, Morrissey, and Stanley skating in non-contact jerseys today.

I would put Fleury in before Stanley. Fleury is a much before skater and doesn't turnover the puck like Stanley does.

Playoff Practice Report May 6

Of note: once skate got underway both Stanley and Morrissey left the ice.

I would put Fleury in before Stanley. Fleury is a much before skater and doesn't turnover the puck like Stanley does.

I'd have to think Stanley's the odd man out at this point. Granted it's only a game but Fleury was solid on Sunday night, so I think he's earned some trust.

As an aside, I just hope whatever demons hounded the team in the opening round - on the road, especially - have been vanquished, and they can play within their system and control this next series.

Scheifele, Morrissey, and Stanley skating in non-contact jerseys today.

All three players listed as game-time decisions

[Pigskin]

Optional skate today. MS55  took some reps with the PP unit. Sounds like Fleury was paired with Demelo.

[Jesse]

Here we go everyone!

Game 1!!

[blue_gold_84]

Scheifele, Morrissey, Stanley all skating in regular jerseys. Only Scheifele is skating with the rest of the team, which would suggest neither Morrissey nor Stanley will play tonight.

Lines/D pairings:

Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi
Ehlers-Namestnikov-Perfetti
Niederrieter-Lowry-Appleton
Tanev-Barron-Iafallo

Fleury-DeMelo
Samberg-Pionk
Miller-Schenn

Like the forwards, to bad MOE can't go tonight. But, this group of D-men should do well. Dallas is a very stacked team. A lot of big skilled players. Going to be another tough series. Lot's of friends looking for tickets. It's myself and the grandkids tonight. GO JETS.

Strategy going forward: contain Rantanen, start faster, improve the powerplay.

Yes, this about sums it up. Jets had lots of scoring chances. More net front traffic.

Oh, so that explains it! Bettman jinxed us by coming to Winnipeg for game 1 :-( 
Here's to hoping Bettman's long gone for game 2.
