Heading into the 2021-22 season, everyone knew Blake Wheeler was on the back nine of his career. This season was especially hard on the Jets’ captain, who lost 17 games due to knee injury and upper-body injuries along with COVID-19. Even though Wheeler missed a ton of time, he showed at 35-years-old that his playing…
Just because the Winnipeg Jets are not participating in the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs, doesn’t mean some of their players will miss out on spring hockey as forwards Adam Lowry and Pierre-Luc Dubois will represent Canada at the 2022 IIHF World Championship. On Monday, Lowry and Dubois were officially named to Team Canada’s roster, marking…
On May 2, many fans woke up to the news that Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff had received a three-year contract extension. Reading that headline shocked my system before my morning coffee could. I was annoyed, to say the least. Considering the Jets missed the playoffs, their locker-room chemistry has appeared to go sour…
Things happen fast when you miss the playoffs. Just one day after the disappointing 2021-22 season came to an end, the Winnipeg Jets are looking to part ways with much of their coaching staff including Dave Lowry, Jamie Kompon and Charlie Huddy, according to Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli. Hearing #nhljets are planning a complete overhaul…
On Friday, the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Calgary Flames in a 3-1 victory. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck looked solid after sitting out against the Philadelphia Flyers. To top things off, captain Blake Wheeler scored on a beautiful one-timer for his 16th goal of the season. Drop pass to Fly, back to Wheels, who HAMMERS it home…
The Winnipeg Jets are coming off a 4-0 shutout victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. Back-up Eric Comrie secured his first career shutout. Not only was it a big night for the 26-year-old goaltender, but Kyle Connor scored his 92nd point of the season, surpassing Blake Wheeler’s record for most points in a single season since…
I hope you watched that game between the Winnipeg Jets and Colorado Avalanche on Apr. 24. Not only was it the Jets’ first win in four games, but it was also a very entertaining game for all hockey fans. The final score ended up being 4-1 in favour of Winnipeg. Forward Kyle Connor became the…
As the sun comes to set on the 2021-22 season, there’s been plenty of highs and lows for the Winnipeg Jets, of course, more negatives than most could’ve predicted. Still, it’s worth revisiting some of the positives during what’s been an extremely disappointing outcome. Goaltender Eric Comrie has been a welcome surprise to watch this…
The Winnipeg Jets are coming off a third straight loss, this time to goaltender Igor Shesterkin and the New York Rangers. Besides that shutout loss and Logan Stanley’s defensive blunders, I enjoyed that game. Yes, that probably sounds crazy. Winnipeg’s brightest performer was goaltender Eric Comrie two nights ago. He looked confident while stopping 31…
This season has been a major letdown for Winnipeg Jets fans. Between a lack of depth scoring, poor defending and a lack of camaraderie in the locker room, the 2021-22 campaign has been extremely disappointing. Heading into this season, there was plenty of hope for this franchise, whose main goal was to return to the…
Friday’s game against the Florida Panthers was a mess from the jump. The Winnipeg Jets allowed six goals on 42 shots against, which saw both Connor Hellebuyck and Eric Comrie spending time in goal. There was one positive, though, forward Nikolaj Ehlers reached the 50-point mark by scoring his 26th goal of the season. Unfortunately,…
The Winnipeg Jets are looking to win three straight games Friday for the first time since Mar. 30. Their last two victories came against the Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canadiens, who’re two of the weakest teams in the NHL this season. Though the Jets aren’t mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, it’ll take a miracle to…
