With 78 games under his belt this season for the Winnipeg Jets, Jim Slater is a force to be reckoned with. The fierce 29-year-old from Flint, Michigan has not only charm and charisma, but is a key factor to the Jets success this year. 13 goals, and 8 assists, this 2002 first-round pick better be [...]
It doesn’t take a bold man to declare the Winnipeg Jets will not make the playoffs now. It did take a bold man to say they would make it before the season and that was basically what I said. On CBC Radio Calgary I declared the Jets would squeak into 8th place based on a [...]
In this two-part story we look at what will happen if the Winnipeg Jets make or miss out on the post season. Part 2 looks at what will be the effect on the Jets should they reach the playoffs There is no experience like playing in the NHL post season. The intensity is jacked up [...]
During Thursday night’s 7-0 win over the Florida Panthers, there were a lot of chants echoing throughout the MTS Centre. There was obviously the classic “Go-Jets-Go.” We also heard “Jooooseeeee” in a successful attempt to throw Panthers goaltender Jose Theodore off his game. We even heard Jets fans declare, “We-want-first-place.” But during the final seconds [...]
I wrote the Jets off. I thought our playoff chances were done with. Now while I’m not buying the face paint for the playoffs just yet (I actually already have face paint…don’t ask), I am cautiously optimistic that the Jets still have a chance at making the post season. Their play overall doesn’t really warrant [...]

With his comments last year about Winnipeg and performance against the Pens; [...]
Photo: winnipegjets.com Making it to the playoffs is going to be a long shot out of hell if the Jets can’t get their offensive line in sequence and score on the power play. Let’s save the small talk, our O-line is in deep trouble. Typical odds are a 3 out of 5 scoring chance during [...]
On a day that we are supposed to show our loved ones how much we care, our beloved Winnipeg Jets broke my heart. The team that is easy to love, if for no reason other than they are back in the NHL, has finally started to reach the point in the season that slowly turns [...]
What would be a year in review without a look at the Top 10 moments of 2011? And of course, we’re going to relate this entirely to the Winnipeg Jets. One event that we wouldn’t consider a top 10, but wanted to mention, was the ill-timed passing of Jets player Rick Rypien. It was nice [...]
Someone forgot to bring Boggle to the NHL’s Board of Governors meeting because they were definitely in mood to do some shaking-up. Earlier this week the NHL B.O.G. approved a new league re-alignment that would see the league’s 30 teams divided up into four conferences, replacing the current format of two-conferences, six-divisions. The Winnipeg Jets, [...]
Right about now, there’s a new revolution going on in the Eastern & Western NHL divisions. It would seem as though everyone is in love with the team from Columbus– and if they’re not, they should be. Why you ask? Well on Monday the NHL Board of Governors meet to discuss the league realignment thanks [...]
I was fortunate enough to catch the Jets vs. Rangers game Sunday night in its entirety. And what was one of the first things I noticed? It was the increase of team play. There were definitely some bonehead moves — like Ladd taking back-to-back penalties — and quite a few more. The one thing I [...]
