Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2024/2025 Season

It is not.

But just like he gets an inordinate amount of praise when we're rolling, he's going to get a large amount of criticism when we're falling flat on our faces.

And justifiably so. He and Scheif are the highest paid players on our team and need to be winning these games for us. He has been one of the worst goaltenders in the play-offs.

They actually pointed out last night on HNIC that he has the worst save % amongst current playoff goalies. So while it might not be totally his fault, a good amount of blame is justified. If we had Bob in net, I am thinking our record would be much much better than it is.

Time to dig deep, fellas.

I'll chime in with an "LFG" here right now and a belief that it's not over until it's over. Crazier things have happened than winning 3 games in a row for this group. I owe them some real genuine faith here tonight and I'm going to give it to them.

"WE BELIEVE"...or at least I do.

LFG. GO JETS GO.

[Jockitch]

Get Ehlers with Scheif and KFC, move Vilardi with Names and Fetts
Let Names race around like a center but have Vil take faceoffs

Sadly it won't happen but geez I wish Kupari, our best at
faceoffs and a terrific hard hitting hustler could replace
Tanev, who just isn't effective

Soar Jets and Strike often

I don't believe but will happily be proven wrong.

I have faith in the Jets winning 3 straight games, it's that one road game that is really a sticking point.

Ya, the win over St Louis was our miracle of the season, we won't get another one.

Jets needs to upgrade 2nd line centre to get/generate more offense, as the Jets are about as snake bit as the Leafs right now in terms of scoring goals

[Pigskin]

Dominant win tonight. Helle was outstanding. PP and PK were both excellent. Excellent team win. Now win one in Dallas. 

Took one of the Bombers to the game tonight. He said he thought PAS was loud, but this place is crazy, Wow, Winnipeg has some great sports fans.

Another dominant win. Solid defensive effort, special teams were good, Hellebuyck was dialed in, and everyone stepped up. That's what it takes to win in the playoffs.

Now they gotta get that monkey off their backs, employ the same strategy as last night, and get a win on the road.

That's not how it works.

And one more thing: Jamie Benn is garbage.

[Jockitch]

Such a fabulous showing by the lads from start to finish
Great "fluke" goal by 55 to begin and everyone was glowing with the excitement generated the rest of the nite

Refs were such a head scratching duo

Agree, JB14 is a dirty cheap player.

Great game in all facets, shots, hits, dominating everything.

CH37 had a game, and I hope that's the start of a bunch of them.

Had a great laugh when the TV coverage showed the white out party, lookin like drowned rats with big smiles and wet white tshirts...  4k is really crisp and clear...

[Pigskin]

JB14 gets a $5K fine for his cowardly punch to MS55 head while being held by the ref.

The last part of this sound a little creepy.

A scumbag and a coward - totally undeserving of that C.

I hope the Jets use that petulant garbage as motivation for tomorrow.

Their coach was all for the move too.

Just called it play off hockey like a sucker punch just a natural part of the game.
