The Aftermath of Another Lost Season
It's been awhile since the Winnipeg Jets hit the ice and then quickly cleaned out their lockers at the end of their second season in Winnipeg.
It also seemed like a long time before the playoffs started after that last loss to the Montreal Canadiens in late April.
And it seems like even a longer time until the Jets will once again hit the ice.
So cruel - not to have...
Peter Tessier: Jets Prospects Starting to Impress More than Winnipeggers
I've got playoff thoughts too if you want to follow me on Twitter HERE
If there is any good news for the Winnipeg Jets and their playoff starved fans itâs coming from the CHL. Not just Mark Scheifele in the OHL with the Barrie Colts but also from Adam Lowry of the Swift Current Broncos who was named the WHL player of the year last year.
Starting with Lowry, who was...
Enough Of Good Byfuglien Bad Byfuglien
from Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press,
The Winnipeg Jets cannot and will not move forward as a team with Byfuglien as he is currently constructed. He is a foundation piece and his half-the-time good and half-the-time bad output leaves the team with unsure footing.
The guessing and hoping has to end. It has to be now or never, where Byfuglien is concerned. He's...
Eklund: Ek's Friday Props. Yours?
Here is a Friday column where I give props to the teams, players, etc who I feel deserve it and then allow you to vote on who was "The Most Buzz-Worthy." That's all the setup required...here goes.
* Props to the Winnipeg Jets.....

About Last Night…Jets Crash And Burn Out Of Playoffs
The Winnipeg Jets saw their season end when the Montreal Canadiens put up a three-goal third period to send Blake Wheeler and the Jets home with a 4-2 loss. Wheeler notched his 19th goal of the season in the loss.
SPIN: Winnipeg finished with a respectable 24-21-3 mark this season and it’s okay to jettison the Jets in redraft leagues if you’re in a tight finale.
Philadelphia...
Eric Engels: Sens, Rangers and Habs Shoot Down Jets' Playoff Hopes
There's no discounting the deflation the Winnipeg Jets suffered between the second and third periods of last night's game as a factor in their loss to the Canadiens. If the Jets had intentions to win it for the fans after learning their playoff aspirations were slaughtered by the Ottawa Senators and New York Rangers, their desire fizzled quickly with a Brendan Gallagher slapshot...
NHL stars of the week 4/24/13
NEW YORK (April 22, 2013) – Winnipeg Jets left wing Andrew Ladd, New York Rangers center Brad Richards and San Jose Sharks center Logan Couture have been named the NHL’s “Three Stars” for the week ending April 21FIRST STAR – ANDREW LADD, LW, WINNIPEG JETSLadd led the NHL with eight points and six assists in three games to help the Jets pick up five out of a possible six...
Rangers Need Two Points, Jets Loss or Senators Collapse to Clinch Playoff Spot
Despite the Rangers excruciating loss to the Panthers last night, they actually received some good news in their hunt for a playoff spot as the ninth place Winnipeg Jets lost to the Washington Capitals, meaning the Blueshirts magic number is now two.
If the Rangers can gain just two measly points in their final two games (@Carolina on Thursday, vs. the Devils at MSG on Saturday...
Washington D.C.: Be On The Look Out For Nikki Hoplock Tonight!
Our favorite Winnipeg Jets fan, blonde bombshell Nikki Hoplock, had a special announcement today on Twitter. She rece…
Peter Tessier: Goalie Clinic as Jets down Sabres
Take it and run Jets fans because a masterpiece it was not for a team that was desperate for a win.
While it may not have been the most glorious game it was exactly what the Winnipeg Jets needed and with Pittsburgh taking care of business in Ottawa tonight the Jets are just one point back of the Sens for eight place.
It was not a masterpiece as noted before and if you are...
Jets edge Sabres to stay in hunt
Antti Miettinen scored with 7:36 left to keep the surging Winnipeg Jets in the playoff race with a 2-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night.
Ondrej Pavelec stopped 24 shots, including a huge glove save on Thomas Vanek with 5:45 left to preserve the victory. Winnipeg (24-19-3) improved 6-0-1 in its past seven and moved within a point of the idle New York Rangers, who hold...
Kyle Okposo will not be suspended for his hit on Zach Bogosian
According to Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun, Islanders forward Kyle Okposo's shoulder to head hit on Winnipeg Jets defenseman Zach Bogosian was reviewed by the NHL's Department of Player Safety and there will be no supplemental discipline. Nor should there be, in my opinion. It's doesn't look like Okposo targeted Bogosian's head.
There is also some question...
Peter Tessier: Breakdowns Cost Jets vs Chippy Isles
The first goal and the fourth goal allowed by the Winnipeg Jets were preventable. Take those two out and perhaps the Jets win a 3-2 or 4-2 instead of falling to the Islanders 5-4 in OT. Two defensive breakdown where a player was left wide open cost the Jets the game and that's what fans should take away from it, at least those looking to understand why the Jets could not continue...
(VIdeo) Kyle Okposo with a high hit on Zach Bogosian
Here is the hit that got some discussion on twitter this afternoon. New York Islanders forward Kyle Okposo hit Jets defenseman Zach Bogosian with a high hit in the head area. No penalty was called on the play and obviously, there could have been a penalty.
#Isles RW Kyle Okposo with a high hit on #NHLJets D Zach Bogosian. Shoulder to head, but it was not called by folks...
Ondrej Pavelec makes incredible diving stick save
During the second period of the Winnipeg Jets-Carolina Hurricanes game on Thursday night, Ondrej Pavelec made what might be the best save this year. Hurricanes forward Jiri Tlusty fed a perfect pass across the crease to defenseman Justin Faulk and he had a wide open net. Pavelec was caught out of position and could do nothing but dive across the crease and pray. Amazingly enough...
Forget About Atlanta Already; Welcome to Winnipeg
Prior to the Winnipeg Jets final regular season meeting with the Florida Panthers (which turned out to be the funnest game to go to as a Jet when it came to being absolutely bored in the third period after a 7-2 win), I read the Winnipeg Free Press and immediately was upset by the headline: "Ghosts of Atlanta".
Then, on Thursday, April 11, I had a reason to be angry...
Peter Tessier: 5 Game Win Streak but Real Work Ahead
What we learned tonight at the Jets game is that uncertainty rules. Take a look at the game and then ask yourself would Ondrej Pavelec be the game changer? That is what has happened thus far for the Jets goalie as he made at least 5 game changing saves in the second period alone.
Just like Vancouver does for Luongo with the âLuooooooooâ chants the MTS Centre tonight...
Byfuglien scores in OT to lift Jets over 'Canes
WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Dustin Byfuglien scored 1:23 into overtime and the Winnipeg Jets continued their hunt for a playoff berth with their season-high fifth straight win, a 4-3 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night.
Byfuglien beat Justin Peters off a rebound from a shot by Andrew Ladd, who finished with three assists.
Alexander Semin tied it 3-3 with 1:12 left...
Peter Tessier: Jets Thoughts & Game Day vs Carolina
It seems almost fitting that today's game against the Hurricanes coincides with the return of Jets defenseman Zach Redmond to playing hockey, albeit a conditioning stint with the St. John's Ice Caps. It was during a morning skate in Carolina where Redmond and teamate Antti Miettinen collided with the latter's skate landing on the upper thigh of Redmond slicing his leg...
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...
Jets 4, Lightning 3, SO
Andrew Ladd scored twice in regulation and added the decisive goal in a shootout as the Winnipeg Jets stayed in the thick of the playoff hunt with a 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night.
Ladd also earned an assist, and defenseman Zach Bogosian had a pair of assists. Blake Wheeler scored once and added two assists for Winnipeg (22-19-2), which is on a season...
Jets All Out Prospect Preditor: Juho Olkinuora
If there is one thing the Wininpeg Jets need in their future, it's goaltending.
They have a pretty good system going with Ondrej Pavelec, Al Montoya, and Eddie Pasquale currently sitting in the top three spots in the organization's depth chart.
But after that, it is a who's who of draft picks - especially late round picks - that are still trying...
Erik Gudbranson destroys Bryan Little, receives Match Penalty
Florida Panthers defenseman Erik Gudbranson absolutely leveled Winnipeg Jets forward Bryan Little late in the 2nd period on Thursday night. Gudbranson delivered a huge forearm hit to the face of Little and Little went down in pain immediately. Gudbranson was ejected from the game and given a Match Penalty, which means the hit will be reviewed by the NHL automatically. The definition...
Jets 4, Sabres 1
Aaron Gagnon scored his first NHL goal Tuesday night to help the Winnipeg Jets earn a 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres.
Gagnon was playing in just his third game since he was called up from the AHL.
Kyle Wellwood, Andrew Ladd and Blake Wheeler had Winnipeg's other goals.
Kevin Porter had the only goal for the Sabres in the third period, spoiling what could have been Ondrej...
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. Â The four unanswered goals in period number two capped off another case of Jekyll and Hyde play from the home team.
Even the most cynical and critical observers of the Jets had to see a period where the Jets came out and dominated from the puck drop to the closing buzzer. ...
