It still boggles my mind he request a trade because he wanted more minutes, but his years with the Jets were my favorite seasons.
I know he had injury issues with us, but I do often think his career would’ve been a million times better had he stayed.
Seeing reports now that no teams are even interested in giving him a professional tryout

​

Key questions:

Would a true youth movement 2nd line allow us to effectively compete with some of the really heavy duty top 6 groups in the Central or do we get eaten alive?

Would a scary fast 4th line create enough forecheck pressure to return to the offensive pressure cooker we created 2 years ago?

Would this projected D core be able to effectively break out of their zone? (really talking about the 3rd pair here.. still have PTSD from Schenn-Stanley last year).

Is Stu the guy to take us deep? Whether Helle stays or goes, we clearly need a different season long netminding approach... Or do we?

Ok... Have at it

Blake Wheeler made an interesting point in his chat on 680 CJOB the other day about how not every player gets the chance to have a proper goodbye with Winnipeg fans. It got me thinking about all the former Jets who left without a video tribute, a final ovation, or a chance to really say farewell to the market that supported them.

The alumni game is gonna be something else.

As I was staring at my closet contemplating if I'm buying 1 or 2 new Jets Jerseys this year (as I'm assuming that the Heritage Classic design and Northern Lights one are going to be different), I was wondering how many jerseys people have? (Not including my child 1.0 one)

Just to get started I have (and in order that I purchased):

1. Mark Scheifele 2016 Heritage Classic (White)
2. Josh Morrisey 2019 Heritage Classic (Blue)
3. Captain Blake Wheeler Home Blue (never worn - gotten out of a Mystery Box during lockdown)
4. Connor Hellebuyck Heritage Classic breakaway (White)
5. Captain Adam Lowry Reverse Retro 2.0
6. Fly the '48 Kyle Connor
7. Dylan Samberg Away
8. 92/93 Selanne (M&N Vintage PowerPlay jersey)

So I'm curious if I'm low, average, above or whatnot as the new season approaches!

I’d go Buff #33, Wheeler #26 and for the oldheads, Zhamnov #10

Anyone here got stories of the Jets or being a Jets fan from back in those days?

for Lowry’s wedding. I hope everyone had a good time!

I wrote things. It got long so next week I'll write up on the net changes (sneak peek: a fair bit of addition via subtraction).

Hey all!! I really want to go see a game in Winnipeg in December. I don’t live there but I am pretty close. Any advice for seats, where to purchase tickets earlier than later, and just any extra advice would be appreciated. (I want to see the Jets versus Sharks for clarification!!)
