Hope comes in the form of a Rock

It’s no secret by now Winnipeg plans to become a contender in the NHL. Build from within, retain their star players and then tinker with the supporting cast around them. With that in mind and with the Jets out of the postseason the attention shifts to the immediate future out on the Rock. The St. [...]

The NHL Playoff Circus, from a Fans View

As the first round of the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs has come to a close, fans have been treated to a little bit of everything. We’ve seen the president trophy winning Vancouver Canucks get manhandled by the 8th place L.A. Kings. We saw the Stanley Cup favourite Penguins fall to the Philadelphia Flyers, even the defending [...]

Game 7 win: 18 Years in the Making

As Game 7 awaits the New York Rangers and the Ottawa Senators to declare the series defeat, a great conspiracy debate edges on about the unfair advantage the Senators seem to have over the Rangers.  Even with a 3-2 win in Ottawa, Lundqvist still believes it was an unfair situation with the refereeing as the [...]

The Numbers Game

No this post is not about the Jets failed attempt to make the post season, that topic is come and gone, this story is about the attendance figures that the Winnipeg Jets, St. John’s Ice Caps and Colorado Eagles have done this season. It’s a feat I’m not sure we’ve seen before in the history [...]

Crosby’s King! And Back With A Vengeance

Not too long after Sidney Crosby’s return to the Pittsburgh Penguins, has there been a large target placed upon his back by the classless Philadelphia Flyers. With Crosby being one of the most talented, respected and skillful players in the NHL, you would think that with his recent history of concussions and time off the [...]

Lets Get Mean!

Wow, what a playoffs it has been thus far. I don’t think I can remember a team in my brief life where all the teams have been this competitive and down right nasty. There has been head shots, suspensions, and fisticuffs in almost every game. Teams like St. Louis and San Jose, who don’t have [...]

Slater – A success story: up close and personal

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 [...]

The Quest for Lord Stanley’s Cup

The Stanley Cup Playoffs are about to begin. For fans of the 16 teams that will vie for Lord Stanley’s Cup, this time of year can be as stressful as it is exciting. Heroes and legends are born in the post-season and there’s no doubt we’ll see our fair share made in the next eight [...]

And so it begins

While the Jets season may be over the real work has already begun. Winnipeg’s management and scouts have been busy all year evaluating their talent on the Jets, IceCaps and Eagles. They’ve been scouting the other 29 organizations, the juniors, the college ranks, Europe and anywhere else they are playing high level hockey. The NHL [...]

Jets…That’s It! That’s All!

It’s a sad week in Winnipeg, as we know this is the Jet’s final hurrah for this season. Though we couldn’t come out on top with a playoff spot snatch we did prove we were the best of the rest. Well almost. Maybe next season we can get some sort of jet fuel back and [...]

Elite Company

Evander Kane has the chance to join some elite company if he can score his 30th goal this season. While a 30 goal season is a common occurrence, scoring 30 before a players 21st birthday is something that has been completed by only 14 players**. Among the list a few players have accomplished the feat [...]

It’s Official

The Jets put up a valiant effort but in the end penalties cost them just like they did earlier in the season. The leagues leading goal scorer, Steven Stamkos scored the overtime winner after Tampa Bay tied the game in what seemed like a third period that saw the Jets short handed for most of [...]
