"Candy Kane" saved the day with a well-earned goal 69 seconds into overtime. Chris Mason shuts out the Kings to prove that he is fit for his cool new pads...whenever they are ready.
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!
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.
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.
Time for some dramatic changes from a few key players. The players that are on IR are sorely missed, although the call-ups from the Ice Caps (Festerling, Flood & Postma) are holding their own (more or less)...
The Jets won this game everywhere...except on the score board. NY had 5 power plays to the Jets' 1... If the team HAS to lose, this is probably close to how they should do it...
A much-needed win for Jets...and a nice comeback to win (in style) at home!
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were in town (and at the game), the Bombers won...Winnipeg doesn't receive much more positive publicity than on days like this.
