I was laughing hysterically last night watching Blake Wheeler cough up the puck Ehlers-style on the Florida blue line after fumbling a pass, then watching him chug back and take the stupid hooking penalty he always took when he was in Winnipeg, then Florida scores on the subsequent power play from Wheeler's dumb actions to win in OT.  Oh man it was like deja-vu all over again.  

it just shows how small the margin for error is in the playoffs.  That PP goal by Florida to win it was a thing of beauty, I watched it like 10 times trying to figure out how the Florida guy got so open to shoot like that.

7 or 8 guys rotating through the DL. That's what worked in 2019 and 2021. Lack of that hurt the past 2 seasons. Just wear down the opposing team.

not sure what this means.
My response was a joke referencing how Davydov and Ehlers are so similar in their playing style.

never let a Schmeckel slide into anything....

Unfortunately he had no Viking blood in him😉

and he killed Wolfman Jack with a trident....

Did he spend a lot of time in Denmark in 1995? Specifically Aalborg? LOL....

I have the Jets book "Coming up Short" by Curtis Walker and he seems to intimate (unless my memory is failing me) that Smith deliberately talked Fergie into trading Babych to the Whalers for Ray Neufeld to sewer Fergie and take his job.  Also, among other things Smith did to destroy the Jets:
Smith was largely responsible for forcing Dale Hawerchuk, the Jets franchise player, out of Winnipeg. Years later, Hawerchuk would state "In my era there were two Winnipegs. There was the John Ferguson era, which was positive, upbeat, a really community-driven team. And then the Mike Smith era, which was negative and pessimistic. That ran through the media. I thought I'd be a Winnipeg Jet forever, but at the end Mike pretty much made it impossible for me to really push forward with my career there."[11]
Smith made some questionable trades that would come back to haunt the Jets. During the Summer of 1993, Smith would send future Olympian, and Frank J. Selke Trophy winner Kris Draper to the Detroit Red Wings for $1.00.[12] Smith would also trade NHL All-Star Phil Housley to the St. Louis Blues for Nelson Emerson and Stephane Quintal. On November 25, 1993, Smith would trade star forward Stu Barnes along with a sixth round selection (previously acquired from the St. Louis Blues; Chris Kibermanis) in 1994 to the Florida Panthers for Randy Gilhen.
Mike Smith was mainly responsible for dismantling a young, and promising Winnipeg Jets team. By the time Smith was relieved of his Managing duties in January 1994, the Jets were last in the Western Conference.[13]

Yeah it's messed up on mobile for me too. One second.
Try that!

what year was that?
In 1992-93 the Jets had 4 rookies that scored 20 goals - Davydov, Tkachuk, Selanne and Zhamnov.  They had two vets who also scored more than 20 - Steen and Darrin Shannon.  
At that time Winnipeg set the record for having 4 rookies hit 20 goals or more in the same season.
