well now I know why Xitter was trending

Jonathan Drouin missing will hurt them. He's been playing well this season ...

Winnipeg Jets fans will be looking to the sky on Sunday ahead of the team’s first game of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Two Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) CF-18 Hornet fighter jets from 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alberta will conduct a flyby over Canada Life Centre and the Winnipeg Whiteout Street Party on Sunday evening. The flyby will take place just after 6 p.m. CT.

Yep.  It's not a dominant home playoff venue... But... The sweep from Montreal and the general steamroll by Vegas have 1 thing in common.    Schiefele was absent due to suspension/ injury.  We also lost Morrissey and Ehlers (remember Ryan Hartman?) in the Vegas series. 

If the Jets can stay healthy, we are a force to be reckoned with. 

RIght we can't afford to lose Scheif...again

The key for the Jets to win is to get their power play going. They dont get alot of chances on 5on5 as they play conservative dump and chance hockey.

Thankfully they dont give up much chances on 5on5 either. 

By the way, I see a bunch a tix have been released for tonight's game.

Seems to me that if we stay healthy we have a good chance to win more than we expect in these playoffs  ...

Jets are very tentative right now.  Out being out shot 9 - 1.  Haven't won a defensive zone draw yet. 

Got to weather the storm

******* hell. Avs just dominating so far 

Looking like frauds right now. Yikes. 

1 1. Just shoot on this guy. 

Knowing it’s early but 55 needs to be better in our zone.

Honestly, I think it's going to take 20 minutes for this team to refocus. Helle needs to be Vezina for the first period to settle em down.

Atta boy Namets!!!!
