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.

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!

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.

...against the Devils, no less!

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!
