There are 13 players on the Winnipeg Jets who have expiring contracts. Some skaters will walk and it sucks to lose some of your favorite players, but that’s just the business of the game. With $20.5 million in cap space, according to PuckPedia.com, general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff will have to get creative to make sure…
I always get excited whenever Connor Hellebuyck does interviews. He can give the classic hockey answers that everyone gives, but when asked a question about the team’s defensive struggles you’ll rarely see him throw anyone under the bus.

Let’s get into the hot and cold performers of Game One. Before we get into this article, I want to say it was a great move by True North Sports + Entertainment for getting 500 front-line health care workers in the building for Games One and Two. The pregame tribute for the 215 indigenous kids…
If you didn’t notice, a few things have happened in the last couple of days around the NHL, I’ll break them down and provide some thoughts on those matters. Tampa Bay Lightning Change Absurd Policy Rule The Tampa Bay Lightning announced a post-season rule back in 2015, which more or less stated if you want…
Round two for the North Division officially kicks off on Wednesday at 6:30 pm CT. I’m so excited to see the Winnipeg Jets take on the Montreal Canadiens. It’s going to feature two very similar teams playing two extremely similar games. Both teams were the underdogs in the first round, and yet, they still defeated…
Recently, it came to my attention that I hadn’t written about the potential second-round matchup between the Winnipeg Jets and Montreal Canadiens. To be honest, I thought it might have been a waste of my time to write about them, but the Toronto Maple Leafs have blown a 3-1 series lead and could experience another…
