Once again, as […]

There’s no logical reason that instead of spending consecutive Sundays in Winnipeg, with having to swing out to […]

The periphery of the playoff picture in the NHL is the very

Game #50 – Jets vs. Hawks Spotlight: Atlas Hellebuyck

By Sam Fels January 19, 2020 0

We will also accept the name “Suspenders” Hellebuyck, as he’s the only thing keeping the Jets from getting pantsed most nights. You wouldn’t think a team would miss Dustin Byfuglien defensively, if at all. Generally not having to commit 20 minutes a night to a player who kind of wandered around the ice like he […]

Your Real Halftime Awards

By Sam Fels January 3, 2020 0

Not every team has crossed the 41-game threshold yet, but it’s close enough for disco. For any newbies, I like to go through the major NHL awards and decide by my own parameters who should win but probably won’t because hockey is stupid and weird and values the wrong things. Anyway, let’s to it: Hart […]

Game #79 – Jets vs. Hawks Q&A: Gametime Art

By Sam Fels April 1, 2019 0

Gametime Art has been our friend for too long for his sake, and a Jets observer for an even unhealthier longer time. Follow him @GametimeArt. While the Jets sit atop the Central, at the time of writing, all is not well in Manitoba. What has Jets fans so angsty? They had such a strong season […]

Game #34 – Jets vs. Hawks Q&A: Derek Gagnon, From Earlier In The Week

By Sam Fels December 14, 2018 0

Obviously, nothing much has changed from Tuesday. So here’s the Q&A we ran with Derek Gagnon (@DerekGagnon1) from ArcticIceHockey.com. Overhanging the Jets season is a sort of “Cap-ocalypse” in the summer. Does this season have a feeling of now or never? Not so much, though there is a feeling that this group will see some […]
