Colorado Avalanche vs. Winnipeg Jets Highlights - FINAL: Avalanche (1) Jets (4)

Great win for the Jets beating the Avs whom were on a winning streak at home. Jets looked fresh from some rest in Winnipeg...and it showed.

Kane scored 2 goals and Pavelec was close to another shutout.

Winnipeg hits 8th in the East!

Winnipeg Jets vs. New York Islanders Highlights - FINAL: Jets (2) Islanders (3) SO

Jets lose in a shootout against the Islanders. This was a bad loss for the Jets considering that the Jets could have really used the boost in the standings - a win would have put them in a 3-way tie for 7th place in the East (w/ Toronto and Ottawa).





TWJN

Winnipeg Jets vs. Anaheim Ducks Highlights - FINAL: Jets (5) Ducks (3)

Teemu Selanne was credited two assists in a game against the Jets that was his first in Winnipeg in over 15 years. He almost scored a goal with around 3 minutes left in the game. Jets fans would have cheered for it and the Jets would've (still) squeaked out the win as well (with a goal to spare).

It was a great night for Jets fans!

Oh yeah...and here is Ovechkin's girlfriend:

Not fair.

Winnipeg Jets vs. Minnesota Wild Highlights - FINAL: Jets (2) Wild (1)

So, what does it make the Jets when they beat the best team in the league?

Not too bad at all...

Pavelec is more than the backbone of this team!

Detroit Red Wings vs. Winnipeg Jets Highlights - FINAL: Red Wings (7) Jets (1)

Ouch.

15-ish years later, the Red Wings still have the Jets' number...apparently.



TWJN

Winnipeg Jets vs. Carolina Hurricanes Highlights - FINAL: Jets (4) Hurricanes (2)

Winnipeg's winning streak stretches up to 4. This was a Good offensive effort by the Jets and Mason held his own in net. Next!





TWJN

Winnipeg Jets vs. Boston Bruins Highlights - FINAL: Jets (2) Bruins (1)

Yet another nail-biting ending with the Bruins being served their first loss since October. Bruins were w/o Seguin ( >> Alarmgate?! << ) and Thomas sat out...but a win is a win.

Besides, the Jets are missing a few key players as well. This team is a contender and has (once again) come up big against one of the better teams in the NHL.

TWJN

Winnipeg Jets vs. Phoenix Coyotes Highlights - FINAL: Jets (1) Coyotes (0)

Well, for a low-scoring game, this one was entertaining as Hell! The Winnipeg Jets were on display with some impressive passing (Little and Wellwood come to mind). The game was a candidate for the most memorable Jets game of the year, thus far. (Yes, the high-scoring Philly game is a tough one to forget as well!)

Everyone knows that Winnipeg fans were chomping at the bit to host the Yotes and the game at MTS Centre failed to disappoint!

The booing was unrelenting (when the Yotes had the puck)...and some might say, in bad taste. I think it was just another opportunity for the Winnipeg fans to vent their frustration that had accrued over the past 15 years.

You don't see a standing ovation and booing for the same player (within minutes) too often, do you!? Not sure what to make of the #DoanEffect.

Were some of the fans just drunk/young/having (negative-based) fun?

Sure.

Did the booing help?

It's hard to argue that it didn't...

>> @DangerousHockey << (a noted Atheist) pointed out that the Hockey Gods were obviously present at the MTS Centre to assist Pavelec with the #PhantomSave late in the 3rd.

Would the puck have gone in without the mysterious bounce? I don't think so: Ondrej was playing great and was "there" for this play. He seemed to wildly miss the puck only because of the strange bounce. Regardless, most Jets fans are likely quite relieved to (only) have to contemplate this thought in a hypothetical manner...whew!

GAME 25: PHOENIX COYOTES @ WINNIPEG JETS 1/12/11

Claude Noel speaks to the media prior to Thursday night's game against the Coyotes



Coyotes captain Shane Doan talks about returning to Winnipeg to face the Jets.



Coyotes head coach Dave Tippett talks about visiting Winnipeg for the first time.



I have to say...I still hold a grudge against the AZ fans/media that couldn't see the GWI logic beyond their own bias... BUT...

Maybe I am naive, but I like the attitude of Doan and Tippet in these interviews. I realize that they have to promote a certain image, but I actually believe everything that was said here...including that Doan still has a soft spot for Winnipeg, however small it may be.

There are important bragging rights on the line tonight...hope the Jets do what we all know that they are capable of!

Winnipeg Jets vs. Philadelphia Flyers - Game 20 - Interviews

Unfortunately for Ilya Bryzgalov, the fans in "Vinnypeg" might not pay too much attention to this video clip. I think he may have waited a bit too long to offer his apology...

I always dislike that "I am sorry IF I offended anybody" type of apology...even from someone that has trouble with the English language. Back when his original comments were made, he came across as ignorant and (incorrectly) bashed the city for not being up to his standard...THAT is what he should apologize for...

That said, I (personally) can't hold a grudge for too long; the guy seems kinda harmless...and he is trying to set things straight. Nonetheless, he will still be mercilessly BOOOOOOed tomorrow afternoon at the MTS Centre.

It will be the kind of booing that the fans enjoy...as opposed to literally wanting his head on a platter, if that makes him feel any better?!

A Winnipeg Jets win would surely feed the beast (the fans)...until next time!



Chris Pronger, Daniel Briere and Peter Laviolette look ahead to Saturday's game against the Jets. the game on Saturday at MTS Centre.

TWJN

Winnipeg Jets vs. Washington Capitals Highlights - FINAL: Jets (4) Capitals (1)

Once again, the Jets perform at their best effectively minimizing the Caps' efforts. This game surpasses the last (against the Bolts) as Winnipeg's best team effort yet.

Wheeler finally broke his dry spell with his first goal of the season in honour of Pat Sajak being in the house! #WheelerOfFortune

Evander Kane and Ondrej Pavelec could have flipped a coin to determine the 1st Star of the Game.

Ahhhhhh - Best performance by the Jets yet! Great all around team effort.

This team is a contender if it can keep up this level of play.



TWJN

Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Winnipeg Jets Highlights - FINAL: Blue Jackets (2) Jets (1)

A lackluster performance by two of the worst teams in the NHL, at this point.

Hopefully, the Jets can turn around the losing streak some time soon.

While the self-imposed penalties issue was (somewhat) corrected tonight (and the refs weren't horrible), it (sometimes) STILL looked like Winnipeg was killing a penalty at full strength?!

The Jets kind of rallied with a late goal in the 3rd...but unfortunately, it was too little, too late.

Thank the Hockey Gods for Pavelec keeping things close to respectable for the Jets.

History favours the Blue Jackets, who have won five in a row from the then-Atlanta Thrashers, including three shutouts, dating back to 2005-06 and are 8-5-0 overall.

Who wants it more...or maybe more accurately...NEEDS it more!? Go Jets Go!
