Sometimes there is no sense trying to analyze things. Sometimes you just have to let the angry guy vent. Thursday night at MTS Centre, the Winnipeg Jets lost 1-0 to the Washington Capitals. With the loss, the Jets fell from 10th to 11th in the East and watched as their five-game home winning…
The Winnipeg Jets host the Washington Capitals tonight in a Southeast Division showdown. I’ve written before that the key to Winnipeg staying in the playoff hunt rests on whether or not any players from the Jets’ marginally talented division play like they can. Thus far, both Washington and Tampa Bay have showed little that indicates…
Hate to say I told you so… what am I talking about? I’m thrilled to say I told you so. That 7-1 loss to Detroit in a wonderful pond-hockey display by the Wings at Joe Louis Arena on Saturday night did turn out to be virtually meaningless, perhaps just a wake-up call for a team…
The World Junior Championships are less than two weeks away, and Team Canada is poised to make their final cuts tomorrow morning. It won’t be an easy decision, as the team boasts incredible depth at almost every position.

Entering action on Saturday, the Winnipeg Jets find themselves somewhere more than a little surprising: on the threshold of a playoff spot, just one point back of the Washington Capitals for eighth in the NHL’s Eastern Conference.
It’s time for another review of some of the items of interest from around the Nation and the league, as teams move into the middle third of the season. In this week’s overview, the Oilers hit a sour patch, the Canucks carry on without a couple of…
Translation courtesy Andrey Osadcehnko **Original text – Alexander Voynov, Sport Weekend – Do you remember your first game as a pro? You bet! I was 17. I think it was season 1988/89. It was the last game of the season against Sokol Kiev. I was very nervous. I was put out there with…
The first three episodes of the NHLNumbers podcast focused mostly on definitions and theory in general. In episode four, we move on to applying what we’ve talked about to particular teams/players/news in the league.
