Will The Winnipeg Jets Succeed In The Western Conference?

Winnipeg Jets Are Heading Into The Men’s Division

For those of you that have read my tweets on Twitter relentlessly commenting on the physical style of play in the Western Conference, you are getting a great preview in the St. Louis / Los Angeles playoff series.  I am constantly questioning if this team, the Winnipeg Jets, is built to play with the big-boys.  I sarcastically call the Western Conference the “Mens” division of the NHL. As most of you know, I split my time between Winnipeg MB and San Tan Valley AZ so I have two teams I follow full-time and I’m quite familiar with the style of play in both conferences.  The Jets competed pretty well in the “Tippy Toe” conference where all the pretty boys like Crosby, Malkin, Stamkos play.  That’s not to say that there aren’t tough teams and players in the east but overall I think the west is bigger and tougher.

3 Point Win: All NHL Games Worth 3 Points?

May 16, 2013 by

It’s Time For The 3 Point Win In Regulation Time !!! –

I mentioned the 3 point win in a click here >>> previous Blog  (Feb.4, 2013) and I wrote about how I didn’t like the way the NHL allocates 2 points in some games and 3 points in another.  Below is an excerpt from that previous Blog and below are the current standings using both systems.  I believe with the 3 point win system that there are more teams still in the playoff hunt.  [Read more…]

Winnipeg Jets Season End Report Card

Year End Report Card

My Influences And Experience

My Winnipeg Jets Report Card uses a grading system that is a little different than the usual grading systems you will see in the “Main Steam Media” but for the most part it is basically “what you see is what you get”.  This is not a scientific evaluation based on statistics and analysis from so-called experts.

Visor Use In The NHL?

April 8, 2013 by

How Long Before Visor Use Isn’t Optional in The NHL? …. 

Mandatory visor use was  front and center again Saturday afternoon at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg.  We were once again  reminded of the ongoing talk and debate about mandatory visor use in an unfortunate way.  Winnipeg Jets defenceman Toby Enstrom teed up a slapshot  from the point that hit Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Luke Schenn in the side of the head.  Schenn was cut and required stitches above the right eye but he was OK and returned later and finished the game.  Ironically Schenn does wear a visor.
