1. Jets: The Winnipeg Jets have played 2 games and have earned 3 points in the standings. Not a bad start.
2. Jets: Poll Question:
What should Chevy do now that Helle is officially a “holdout”?
4. Jets: Last season KC had 5 powerplay goals, but this year he already has 3 in just 5 games. How do you explain that?
5. Jets: I don’t understand why Lowry plays on OT, and I’m not the only one based on my X timeline.
6. Jets: I have to admit I was a little disappointed that Brayden Yager was assigned to the Manitoba Moose to get to their 23-man limit, but I get it. We’ve seen this before.
From Scott Arniel:
“He’s an NHL player. The numbers game, for now, necessitated a tough decision. We expect Yager to play a role with the team this season.”
7. Jets: Adam Lowry lost every faceoff in the Jets’ end on the PK. He was 0 for 6.
8. Jets: Any time the Jets were in trouble, it seemed to be a result of something Dylan DeMelo had done.
9. Jets: So far, so good for Stuart Skinner.
Record: 1-0-1 GAA 2.92 SV% .909
10. Jets: Ty can chuck em with both hands.

Viewer questions for the show:
From Ben:
1. Is a physical and emotionally fired-up player like Bauer exactly the change in atmosphere the Jets need iyo?
2. How in the world are speedsters and skilled guys like Perfetti and Lambert warming the bench in OT when you want skill and speed with all that open ice?!! I don’t get it. Love Lowry, but come on Arniel.
From Sparky:
1. Kolesar made a mistake letting Bauer get up off his knees at the beginning of that fight
From Andy:
1. Do you think the Jets look faster this year than last year?
2. Tyler Bauer is sure making the Jets a lot bigger.
Question: Should we let our number one goalie sit out the season?
