Ladies and gentlemen, the #1 team in the NHL, your Winnipeg Jets. So many little things that impress me about this team. The work on the boards, the cycle, the rolling of 4 lines, the simple breakouts and smart passes that relieve pressure on their zone. And Broissoit seems to have learned from Hellebuyck with his economical style, minimal movement and flopping, just solid positioning and letting the puck hit him. And different heroes every night. This is a team just feeling it right now.

What exactly was that penalty for? Genuinely perplexed.

Perfetti with the power play dagger

Sweet snipe by Schmidt on a great feed. This team just keeps finding ways.

Anaheim playing a heavier game than the Jets have seen in a while. Curious to see how they handle it.

Ehlers gets the Jets back on even terms after some nice cycling. The Scheifele-Ehlers-Vilardi line starting to pick it up again. Their return to form would be huge.

Oh relax, Speed You know Booch isn’t leaving. He likes the trolling, telling people how much he more he knows, and the ass-kissing from certain posters too much to walk away. He’ll be back.

Love the job title for Louis Farrakhan on the list. Those wry Brits!

And the Jets have not lost (in regulation) since that Dec. 12 game.

Jets with a club record 9 game point streak, Hellebuyck has gone 10 straight without a regulation loss (personal best) and has given up 2 or less in 9 of those 10 games. Was 3rd star for the NHL in December at 7-0-2, 1.88 GAA, and .934 save %. Life is good as a Jets fan right now.

I know refs are human and will miss the odd thing, but they have not covered themselves in glory in the high stick department tonight.

Jets are the #3 team in the NHL in winning percentage right now. Only behind the Rangers and Bruins, tied with the Stars, better than the Avs, Knights, Canucks, Kings, Leafs, Lightning, Panthers, Oilers, Canes, Devils et al. Hands up all who saw that coming. (Hey, you with your hand up…..quit lying!)

For any car racing fans, Cale Yarborough (NASCAR in the 70’s) and Gil de Ferran (Indy car in the 90’s) both died today.

We still have yet to beat Dallas.

Trying not to get too high, remembering a post Xmas slump or two in the past few years, but boy is this team looking strong right now.

If we get our special teams sorted out, we could be an elite contender. 5 on 5 we are incredibly strong.

Even Iafallo is outperforming PLD. Alex Iafallo #9 L 2023-24 Season GP G A P +/- 31 5 10 15 -2

Yep, switched to a 17 game schedule in 2021. And the weird thing is that the 17th game is not always a neutral site location, despite the increase in London and Mexico City contests. Weird to have an unbalanced home and away schedule.

If Justin Dunk and 3Down’s reports are accurate, he will make $435,000 US ($580,000 Cdn) this year (max value was $750,000 US if he had been on the active roster all season), and in year 2 of his 3 year rookie NFL contract, he’s scheduled to make up to $915,000 US, then $1,030,000 US in year 3.

Well we get a point, but I hate that a power play in OT is 4 on 3. A much bigger advantage than 5 on 4. I wish that if they do that, they should shorten the PP to one minute (or half of the remaining time)

Yep, lots of rebounds. Driving to the net and one is likely to end up on a stick.

Perfetti ties it up!

Vilardi is making me happy PLD did not want to stay here.

Agreed but the call on the ice is goal and the evidence isn’t clear. I disagree that the call was “confirmed”.
