The Afterburners: Jets Upended by Devils
The Winnipeg Jets continue to ring in 2012 with losses, posting their fifth in six games - their most recent delivered by the New Jersey Devils. Winnipeg was off to a good start after being held scoreless for over 107 minutes, as an Andrew Ladd wrist shot found it's way past the glove hand of...
The Afterburners: Jets Punched Out In Boston
There would be no bloodying of the champ's lip or blackening of his eye by the Winnipeg Jets tonight in Boston, MA. Instead, it was the defending champs who rained blow after blow on their semi-conscious and sorely depleted opposition in the games final frame, while spectators were left to wonder...
Breaking It Down: Taking A Look At The New York Rangers Power Play
With the Rangers ending their home stand with a 4 game winning streak you would think that everything is sunshine and roses for the Boys in Blue as they head to Ottawa to avenge a shootout loss to the Senators Wednesday night. Well, there is one glaring problem, the power play. In the last two...
Senators 4, Jets 1: We're better than somebody!
As an American living in Atlanta, Georgia, I don't have the same kind of love for the Winnipeg Jets that most of my fellow Sens fans do. Don't worry, though, I'm not here to talk about the Jets. I'm hear to talk about the Ottawa Senators. Any of you remember the Senators of late last year? You...
Silver Nuggets: First six games by some very depressing numbers
Last time, I wrote about how good can the Senators defence can be. Then a few hours later the Senators lost 7-2. In my defence, I was asking about how good can the defence be in the future, and the 7 goals were more on goaltending than defence. So maybe if I talk about some of the bad things, we'll...

NHL realignment scenarios: Naming conferences and divisions
Back in the day, the NHL's conferences and divisions were named after people and/or trophies. The Eastern Conference was once the Prince of Wales Conference, for instance. It was named after the trophy awarded to the Eastern Conference champions - which is the same trophy that's still awarded...
Should the Jets Take a Chance on Cam Barker?
Well, the ink is hardly dry on the paper, but it's pretty clear that some of the weighty or disappointing players are soon going to be added to the free agent market. Guys like Chris Drury, Sheldon Souray, and Cam Barker are among those slated to be cast adrift. I know the Jets management has a...
Our 2011 Winnipeg Jets Draft Picks
Well, the 2011 NHL Entry Draft has wrapped up, and we have the undesirable distinction of being a team that needs to defend its picks. Not exactly the best way to start a franchise. What makes matters worse for me is that I was willing to defend the Mark Scheifele pick slightly, though conceding...
