JETS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Peter Tessier: Still going... Jets strike Lightning

Let's not get into the details of the game too much, botched officiating or anything else- it all seemed to even out if you can take off the homer glasses. The interesting aspect of this 4 game winning streak, the longest of the Jets season, is how they are doing it. Massive second periods. In the past 4 games the Winnipeg Jets have outscored their opposition by a tune...

It has been an epic collapse from the Winnipeg Jets in the last couple weeks as the team has fallen from the division lead all the way out of the playoffs. Winnipeg still has a chance to sneak into the playoffs either by going on a hot streak to win the Southeast Division or just [...]

Peter Tessier: Jekyll & Hyde beat Flyers 4-1

The Winnipeg Jets staved off a potential 6-game losing streak yesterday with a strong second period.  The four unanswered goals in period number two capped off another case of Jekyll and Hyde play from the home team.

GIF: Kane goes crazy in fight vs. Emelin

In their 4-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, with less than five minutes left in the third period, Jets forward Evander Kane completely lost his temper in this fight vs. Alexei Emelin.

Zach Redmond Shows Off Gruesome Scar After Skate Split His Leg Wide Open (Photo)

Evander Kane Tosses Alexei Emelin’s Helmet During Fight in Jets-Canadiens Game (Video)

Alexei Emelin needs to use better judgement when picking his battles. The Canadiens defenseman, who was pummeled by Zdeno Chara in a game against the Bruins back on March 3, antagonized Winnipeg’s Evander Kane into a fight Thursday night. Kane didn’t take kindly to the instigating, and he proceeded to rip Emelin’s helmet off, toss it violently to the ice and land several hard...

DON'T NEED THAT

Evander Kane chucks foe's helmet during fight

Fighting Evander Kane isn't usually something people enter into lightly, at least not after his one and done knockout of Matt Cooke a couple years ago. He's not only one of the best forwards in the league (and probably the best player on the Winnipeg Jets), he's also got a little temper on him. Alexei Emelin learned the hard way that chirping and antagonizing Kane usually...

Ryan Callahan scores sick shorthanded goal against Winnipeg Jets

The New York Rangers were in the process of killing a 5 on 3 Winnipeg Jets powerplay when the puck was cleared out to center ice.  As Rangers captain Ryan Callahan picked up the puck in the neutral zone, Mats Zuccarello jumped out of the penalty box and they had a shorthanded 2 on 1.  Rather than utilize his teammate, Callahan decided to empty out his bag of tricks and pulled off...
