This has been bugging me for a little bit and I need to get this off my chest. There seems to be very little doubt that Connor Hellebuyck is one of, if not THE front runner for the 2020 Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s top goaltender. Major media outlets have him near the top of…
The lack of hockey doesn’t mean that there is a lack of hockey opinions. If anything, the absence of sports in general means we’ve had a lot more time to come up with some crazy thoughts about hockey which is exactly what I am looking for when I put out a call for your hot…
April 28, 1996 is a date of infamy in Winnipeg hockey history. It was the day that the final Winnipeg Jets game was played as the Detroit Red Wings defeated the OG Jets 4-1 in game six of their Western Conference Quarter-Finals series.
A few days ago I started pondering what could be considered the Winnipeg Jets biggest “draft misses”. The picks where the Jets could have taken a player who has gone on to have relative success in the NHL, but instead drafted a player that for whatever reason never broke into the league or even signed…
We are a little over a week since the ‘break up’ of Dustin Byfuglien and the Winnipeg Jets was made final and since that time multiple tributes have been written about his time with the Jets as well as speculation on what his future could be next season. But maybe the best tributes yet was…
Pretty much every professional draft in sports lends itself quite easily to second guessing almost immediately after picks are announced. Such as the case for yours truly on Thursday night when my beloved Seattle Seahawks picked linebacker Jordyn Brooks with the 27th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Maybe Brooks will turn out to…
Let’s face it, the Winnipeg Jets aren’t a perfect hockey club. I’d argue that they are one of the better ran teams in the National Hockey League, but not “perfect” and there are certainly things I’d do different if I was in charge. It isn’t a bad thing to want change either. Keeping things the…
Dustin Byfuglien is now officially a former Winnipeg Jet. The long-awaited news was made official by the NHL and Winnipeg Jets on Friday morning.
As the final minutes of the game passed by, the 3-1 lead held by the Winnipeg Jets seemed safe and in great peril all at the same time. The Nashville Predators led by Roman Josi made it an interesting game early in the third by getting on the board to cut the lead to two…
On Monday evening, a little over five months after Winnipeg Jets 1.0 legend Dale Hawerchuk’s battle with stomach cancer was made public, his son Eric took to Twitter to announce that his father finished his final round of chemotherapy protocol. Today my dad finished his final round of chemo Protocol in Barrie. Got to ring…
When (or if) we get a return of the NHL 2019-20 season, there is zero doubt it’s going to be done under strange circumstances and adjustments are going to be made by the league to get the season completed in the shortest amount of time possible so as to not cause too much disturbance to…
