Join Harley and Mitch on YouTube for the Mar. 16 Random Thoughts on the Winnipeg Jets

1. Jets:  The Winnipeg Jets went  2-2-0 this past week and have earned points in eight of their games since the Olympic break.  Their record is still at the bogus “Count Chocula” .500 at 28-28-10, five points out of the playoffs with 16 games remaining in the regular season and are still kicking at the cat.   They are 5-2-0 on their 8-game homestand.   

 2. Jets:  It figures that Gus Nyquist would start playing inspired hockey now!  The old case of too little too late.  Where was this all season?

3. Things that make me go hmmm: #1🤔  I started wondering about this tweet and why lately the Jets have looked a little more like last year’s team, and I believe it’s because the roster is much faster after adding Rosen, Lambert, Fleury, and Bryson.  Now they are far from perfect, even though they are faster, but when their speed matches last year’s attention to detail more consistently, they will definitely win more hockey games.  Consistency, adaptability, and understanding your role doesn’t take any special skill, just mental toughness.  A lot of times, hockey is just a battle of wills.   

4. Jets:  I’m quite hard on Dylan DeMelo, so I’m going to say something positive about his game. For a defenceman his size, he is very strong, he hits hard, and there is never any questioning about his compete level.
Alright, where is Mitch and what have you done to him?

5. Jets:  Pet Peeve: The Jets forwards and sometimes their defencemen jump the gun and blow the zone before the puck is out, and they do it far too often for my liking.

6. Jets:  It’s only been 4-5 games for new acquisition Jacob Bryson (UFA), but I have seen enough to say I have no interest in seeing the Jets offering him a contract.  He is a nice skater who handles the puck pretty well but gets eaten alive without it.  Being a SMURF, he gets absolutely swallowed up in front of the net and along the boards.  We don’t need any more shrubs.  I would rather see Isaak Phillips playing with the big club now if they’re auditioning defencemen for next year.

7. Manitoba Moose:  The Manitoba Moose went 2-2-0-0 this past week and are holding steady at 28-21-5-1 after a 4-2 win in Calgary Sunday afternoon.   Thomas Milic made a career-high 44 stops in the Moose net.

8. Jets:  Question for Scott Arniel:  Your team’s power play has dropped quite a bit statistically week after week, and I wonder why you haven’t changed the positioning or personnel to give it a different look?

9. Things that make me go hmmm: #2 🤔 Morgan Barron, Cole Koepke, and Brad Lambert are definitely the Jets’ speediest line, and I wonder if it’s time to give them a little bump up in icetime and if not, the whole line, how about flip-flopping Barron and Adam Lowry?

10. Jets:  From the “Put that in your pipe and smoke it” file.  

I’m not sure if Tyrel Bauer is a potential NHL defenceman or not, but one thing I do know is that he is tough and will throw down with anybody.  Can the Jets afford to carry a guy on their roster just because he can fight?  The only way to find out is to play him.  He would give this team some much-needed toughness, especially on the road in some tough barns like Minny, Dallas, and St. Louis.  I know fighting is a hot button subject, but it is important whether you like it or not.  All you have to do is ask the players in the dressing room, and to a man, they’d all say yes, and that’s coming from the guys that matter, not you or me, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

11. Jets:  Special Teams:  Rule of thumb. 

Have the power play and penalty kill (PK and PP) numbers total at least 100% when added (as your minimum).

  • PP: 23rd at 17.70% (net 23rd at 16.00%)
  • PK: 16th at 79.00% (net 16th at 81.70%)
  • FO: 13th at 50.80%

12. Jets:  Goaltending:

  • Connor Hellebuyck:  17-18-9 … 2.75 GAA … .901 SV%
  • Eric Comrie:  11-9-1 … 2.96 GAA … .895 SV%

13. Jets:  The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly this past week.

  • Good:  Mark Scheifele continues to be the best skater on the ice most nights.
  • Bad:  The Jets’ defencemen backing in on their goalies happens far too often.  
  • Ugly:  The Jets must give up the most goals in the league on tip-ins.  Most of the time, they may have marked their man, but they don’t tie up their sticks.  

14. Jets: Tidbits and FYIs:

  • Isak Rosen scored his first goal as a Winnipeg Jet on Thursday vs the NYR.
  • Josh Morrissey sets a new Jets 2.0 record for most games played by a defenceman (719 Enstrom),
  • Dylan DeMelo played in his 700th NHL game on Thursday night.
  • Mark Scheifele has reached 80 points for the second consecutive season.
  • Hayden Fleury scored his 1st goal as a Winnipeg Jet on Sunday and his 1st since the 2022-23 season.
  • Eric Comrie has won his last 5 starts.
  • My man Thomas Milic had back-to-back shutouts for the Moose.
  • 2028 World Cup was announced with 8 teams.  The round-robin play will be in Prague & Calgary, and the Semifinals & Final will be in Edmonton.

Mar. 2 Random Thoughts on the Winnipeg Jets

March 2, 2026 by

Please join host Harley Friesen and Winnipeg Hockey Talk owner/writer Mitch Kasprick for a more in-depth discussion of these Random Thoughts on the Winnipeg Jets, Manitoba Moose, and the National Hockey League on our new WHT YouTube channel here >>>> https://www.youtube.com/@WpgHockTalk  LIVE every Monday at 7:00 pm.  

This week’s YouTube show

Here >>>  This week’s show

1. Jets:  The Winnipeg Jets went 1-0-2 this past week, and although they got points in all three games, they lost ground to both Anaheim and San Jose, who both beat them in overtime.  Their record sits at a very underwhelming 23-26-10, nine points out of the playoffs.  The team now has an eight-game homestand that will be their last kick at the cat for those who still believe they have a shot at the playoffs.   

2. Jets:  Any coach who would play Adam Lowry in overtime ahead of Gabe Vilardi or even Alex Iafallo should not be allowed to coach in the NHL.  I am soooo done with Scott Arniel, and his idiotic lineup decisions, and don’t get me started on Dylan Samberg or Dylan DeMelo ahead of Elias Solomonsson in OT either.  

3. Jets:  The NHL trade deadline is this Friday at 2 pm local time.  So far, this is what we know.

  • Luke Schenn should be traded.
  • Even though Jonathon Toews is a pending UFA, he is committed to returning to Winnipeg next season, and he won’t waive his “No movement clause”.
  • Logan Stanley is a pending UFA and has said he would like to resign with the Jets but he doesn’t have a contract yet for next season.  The buzz around the league is that he could net the Jets a 1st round pick plus.  If the Jets don’t sign him before the deadline, they have to move him.

4. Jets:  From the “Put that in your pipe and smoke it” file.  

There sure is a lot of fake outrage over the USA hockey team visiting the White House.  This has always been the norm for all teams winning a championship, in all the major sports, to visit the White House, with the odd player bowing out because of politics, but it should be an honor.  I have a great example of a true story I’ll share with you during the live show on YouTube tonight.

If you are so narrow-minded that you can’t see the difference between celebrating a monumental achievement but see it as a political statement, you’re a moron and can eat shit, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

5. Pet peeve:  TSN Jets announcer Dan Robertson tried putting a positive spin on the 3-game road trip by stating the Jets got 4 out of 6 points, which is factually incorrect because in those three games there were NINE points awarded, not SIX.  The Jets earned 4 out of 9 points.  Big difference.

6. Jets:  After watching that fiasco in Italy, tell me again how Mark Scheifele wouldn’t have been a top-6 forward on that team.

7. Jets:  Right now, Connor Hellebuyck’s value has never been higher … would the Jets ever consider trading him for multiple pieces and picks?

8. Jets:  I was impressed by Walker Duehr’s speed in his Winnipeg Jets debut on Sunday.

9. Jets:  Logan Stanley has a big, heavy shot, and he’s not afraid to use it, which adds a different element to the Jets’ powerplay.

10. Things that make me go hmmm: #1 🤔  I’m not opposed to trading Cole Perfetti depending on the return, BUT it would have to be for a center and at approximately the same stage in age and/or development.

11. Jets:  Special Teams:  Rule of thumb. 

Have the power play and penalty kill (PK and PP) numbers total at least 100% when added (as your minimum).

  • PP: 22nd at 18.60% (net 20th at 16.80%)
  • PK: 17th at 79.30% (net 13th at 82.20%)
  • FO: 15th at 50.50%

12. Jets:  Goaltending:

  • Connor Hellebuyck:  13-16-9 … 2.82 GAA … .900 SV%
  • Eric Comrie:  10-9-1 … 3.01 GAA … .893 SV%

13. Jets:  The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly this past week.

  • Good:  The Jets earned points in all 3 road games last week with a win and two overtime losses for 4 points total. 
  • Bad:  The Jets also gave up 5 points in those same 3 games.  
  • Ugly:   Watching Adam Lowry.  He is where offence goes to die, which is normal, but the rest of his game now stinks.  

14. Jets:  I’ve been known to be hard on Kyle Connor at times, but he didn’t deserve the hand he was dealt at the Olympics.  Even on KC’s worst day, he shouldn’t be the extra forward on that team.  I’m sure he is proud of his Gold Medal but probably has a hollow feeling about his contributions.

15. Things that make me go hmmm: #2🤔 Some post-Olympics fallout that got me thinking.  Is it sour grapes or a legitimate observation/complaint?

From Team Canada coach Jon Cooper:

“You take four players off the ice, now hockey’s not hockey anymore. There’s a reason overtime and shootouts are in play — it’s all TV-driven to end games, so it’s not a long time. There’s a reason why it’s not in the Stanley Cup Final or playoffs.”

Feb. 9 Random Thoughts on the Winnipeg Jets

February 9, 2026 by

Please join host Harley Friesen and Winnipeg Hockey Talk owner/writer Mitch Kasprick for a more in-depth discussion of these Random Thoughts on the Winnipeg Jets, Manitoba Moose, and the National Hockey League on our new WHT YouTube channel here >>>> https://www.youtube.com/@WpgHockTalk  

LIVE every Monday at 7:00 pm.  

This week’s YouTube show

1. Jets:  The Winnipeg Jets went 0-1-1 this past week, and their record sits at a very underwhelming 22-26-8, eleven points out of the playoffs.  The team is now officially playing for pride, while the management is hoping for a better draft pick.     

2. Jets:  With the Jets now on their 3-week Olympic break, it looks like I’ll be spending quite a bit of time bitching about Kevin Cheveldayoff, so if you’re a Chevy lover, you should look away.

3. Jets:  From the Sour Grapes Department:  Nick Suzuki played 16:56 in the Habs’ win over the Jets, and I didn’t even know he played.  I never even noticed him.  Mark Scheifele really got screwed over, not making the Olympic team.

4. Jets:  Question for Scott Arniel:  HTF can I defend you or support you when you keep doing dumb shit?  Add starting Adam Lowry, Cole Perfetti, and Dylan Samberg in OVERTIME to the list.  BTW, the Jets weren’t short-handed.

5. Jets:  It is time to have another look at Patrik Laine?

Should the Jets be interested in UFA Patrik Laine?

6. Jets:  As of Monday morning, the Jets have 26 games left in the regular season, and although they are not mathematically done, they actually have a better chance of winning the draft lottery than making the playoffs. We will now start tracking both.   

7. Things that make me go hmmm: #1 🤔 …. Vincent Trocheck

8. Jets:  Special Teams:  Rule of thumb. 

Have the power play and penalty kill (PK and PP) numbers total at least 100% when added (as your minimum).

  • PP: 21st at 19.10%, up from 21st at 18.70% last week (net 18th at 17.20%)*
  • PK: 18th at 79.00%, down from 17th at 79.50% last week (net 14th at 82.00%)*
  • FO: 12th at 50.40%, down from 12th at 50.70% last week

9. Jets:  Goaltending:

  • Connor Hellebuyck:  13-16-7 … 2.79 GAA … .900 SV%
  • Eric Comrie:  9-9-1 … 3.07 GAA … .892 SV%

10. Jets:  The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly this past week.

  • Good:  The boys played very well in Dallas last Monday, but their lack of finish reared its ugly head again. 
  • Bad:  This team’s reluctance to shoot the puck and continually play on the perimeter can make an average goalie like Sam Montembeault look good.  
  • Ugly:  The fact that Chevy didn’t make any trades at the mini-trade deadline.  I don’t know why I’m always surprised.   

 

11. Things that make me go hmmm: #2 🤔  I wonder how this team would have done? ******

12. Olympic Hockey:  All times are Central

Canada vs Czechia Thursday 9:40 am   Canada vs Switzerland Friday 2:10 pm

USA vs Latvia Thursday 2:10 pm   USA vs Denmark Saturday 2:10 pm

Feb. 2 Random Thoughts on the Winnipeg Jets

February 2, 2026 by

Please join host Harley Friesen and Winnipeg Hockey Talk owner/writer Mitch Kasprick for a more in-depth discussion of these Random Thoughts on the Winnipeg Jets, Manitoba Moose, and the National Hockey League on our new WHT YouTube channel here >>>> https://www.youtube.com/@WpgHockTalk  LIVE every Monday at 7:00 pm.  

 

This week’s YouTube show 

1. Jets:  The Winnipeg Jets went 2-1-0 this past week, and their record sits at a very underwhelming 22-25-7, nine points out of the playoffs.  The team now has two games left before the Olympic break and the 1st mini-trade deadline.   

2. Jets:  I’ve been watching Luke Schenn quite a bit lately and although he is where offence goes to die, I understand why he moves at the trade deadline and why teams like that type of player in the playoffs.  His underlying numbers are weak but isn’t that because of his role and the players he plays behind.  Think about it.  The only line that is scoring is the Scheifele line and he rarely plays behind them so of course his 5v5 efficiency will be skewed.  At playoff time when the officials “let them play” a little more his toughness is valued.

3. Jets:  Elias Salomonsson has surprised me with his level of physicality.  He is shaping into a top-4 defenceman before our eyes.

4. Jets:  From the “Put that in your pipe and smoke it” file.  

Even though he has one of the toughest jobs in the NHL, I think it’s time to move on from Chevy.  For the most part he has done an acceptable job, some good things and some bad things but this past trade deadline and off-season he did the unacceptable and let a top UFA walk for nothing.   Managerial malpractice and should be a firing offence in this market where the Jets have to target 35-year-old players at the end of their careers.  Chevy valued TWO declining assets in the previous couple of seasons prior and him and his whole staff undervalued the importance and value of Nikolaj Ehlers.  For me that was the last straw so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

5. Jets:  The rumor of a deal between Seattle and Winnipeg seems to be gaining some traction with Cole Perfetti and Shane Wright being the main principles involved.  A deal in this realm wouldn’t break my heart but I won’t hold my breath waiting for Chevy to make a meaningful trade until the actual trade deadline if he does anything at all.

6. Jets:  Mark Scheifele is playing at a very high level, and right now I’d say he might be the best passer of the puck in the league.  His vision, stick-handling, and playmaking are elite.

 7. Jets:  Does anybody miss Neal Pionk and his 8 measly points and his plethora of free pizzas?

8. Jets:  It is time to give another Moose forward a look.  Which one or two?

Which Manitoba Moose forward would you like to see next?

9. Jets:  As of Monday morning, the Jets’ have 28 games left in the regular season and their chances of making the playoffs are sitting at a paltry 5.6%, basically slim and none and slim just left town.  As you can see, the percentage fluctuates daily, whether the team plays or not; however, the days following games exhibit larger fluctuations.  

10. Things that make me go hmmm: #1 🤔 I’ve started watching faceoffs a lot more lately and especially on the PK, and I have noticed that for the most part all of our centers do a pretty good job and that it is the wingers and defenseman that are the weak link.  They look like 98-lb weaklings at the beach, getting sand kicked in their faces.  It takes more than a good center to win a draw, and I wondered if it’s something they work on or just talk about because they are very poor at it.  Hmmmmm.

11. Jets:  Special Teams:  Rule of thumb. 

Have the power play and penalty kill (PK and PP) numbers total at least 100% when added (as your minimum).

  • PP: 21st at 18.70%, down from 21st at 19.90% last week (net 18th at 17.30%)*
  • PK: 17th at 79.50%, up from 17th at 79.50% last week (net 14th at 82.60%)*
  • FO: 12th at 50.70%, up from 12th at 50.60% last week

12. Jets:  Goaltending:

  • Connor Hellebuyck:  13-15-6 … 2.71 GAA … .902 SV%
  • Eric Comrie:  9-9-1 … 3.07 GAA … .892 SV%

13. Jets:  The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly this past week.

  • Good:  Two out of three so far on their 4-game road trip. 
  • Bad:  The goals at even strength are still tough to come by, but seem even harder on their PP.  
  • Ugly:   Trying to win a faceoff while being short-handed.  

14. Jets:  Old adage time: This week’s old adage is very pertinent concerning the Winnipeg Jets.  It’s Not the Size of the Dog in the Fight, It’s the Size of the Fight in the Dog

15. Things that make me go hmmm: #2🤔 HTF is Mark Scheifele not on Canada’s Olympic hockey team? (see #6)

Jan. 26 Random Thoughts on the Winnipeg Jets

January 26, 2026 by

Please join host Harley Friesen and Winnipeg Hockey Talk owner/writer Mitch Kasprick for a more in-depth discussion of these Random Thoughts on the Winnipeg Jets, Manitoba Moose, and the National Hockey League on our new WHT YouTube channel here >>>> https://www.youtube.com/@WpgHockTalk  LIVE every Monday at 7:00 pm.  

Program Change:  Harley and Mitch will be LIVE on YouTube at NOON on Monday

1. Jets:  The Winnipeg Jets went 1-2-1 this past week, and their record sits at a very underwhelming 20-24-7, ten points out of the playoffs.  The team now heads out on a 4-game road trip in some tough buildings, NJ, Tampa, Florida, and then Dallas.  Good Luck.

#NHLJets Head Coach Scott Arniel postgame: “That was one of the most embarrassing games for me in the last month” pic.twitter.com/en4A5qRfWK

— Winnipeg Sports Talk (@SportsTalkWPG) January 25, 2026

2. Jets:  As the games get tougher, Kyle Connor doesn’t get tougher, he just gets tougher to watch.  His disappearing acts are getting tiresome to watch.

3. Jets:  Elias Salomonsson looked very poised this past week, and I wonder where he slots in on the Jets’ upcoming 4-game road trip.  You can see his confidence growing game by game.  Salomonsson is starting to jump into the play and create a bit.  He looks good, and although the sample size is small, I’d say his AHL days are numbered, and Chevy can start moving guys out (Schenn).

4. Jets:  From the “Put that in your pipe and smoke it” file.  

Even though he is one of my all-time faves, explain to me why I’m supposed to give a crap that Buff is playing in the Heritage Classic Alumni Game?  Until I can understand why, he quit on his team at the start of training camp, seemingly out of nowhere, I’m going to remain ambivalent until the truth comes out.  I’m not ready to embrace a player who really screwed his team and his fans, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

5. Jets:  The drop-off in scoring on the Jets after the “Big Four” is staggering, and it’s no wonder this team is where it is in the standings so far this year.

6. Jets:  It was only 2 games, but Issac Phillips showed me he could compete for or join in the rotation for 5/6, 3rd pair defenceman.  His skating is okay, he makes good reads, makes the simple plays, and adds some size and edge to the backend.

7. Moose:  The Manitoba Moose split a pair of home games last week and their record sits at 20-15-3-0 as they sit comfortably in 3rd place in the 7-team Central Division with a winning percentage of .566.  The good news is that prospect finally scored a big goal as Brad Lambert scored the winner Sunday afternoon in the final minute of the 3rd period.  It looks like the Moose might be Winnipeg’s only playoff hope.

8. Jets:  Is it maybe time to give another Moose forward a look? 

Which Manitoba Moose forward would you like to see next?

9. Jets:  As of Monday morning, the Jets’ chances of making the playoffs are sitting at a paltry 5.6%, basically slim and none and slim just left town.  As you can see, the percentage fluctuates daily, whether the team plays or not; however, the days following games exhibit larger fluctuations.  

 

10. Things that make me go hmmm: #1 🤔 Why is it that Cole Koepke always seems to draw the short straw when it comes to lineup decisions by Scott Arniel?  Sitting Nyquist is a given, but I like Koepke’s speed in the game.  It wouldn’t break my heart to see Vlad, or Pearson, or even Nino join the popcorn brigade here and there.  

11. Jets:  Special Teams:  Rule of thumb.  Have the power play and penalty kill (PK and PP) numbers total at least 100% when added (as your minimum).

  • PP: 18th at 19.90%, up from 21st at 19.50% last week (net 15th at 18.40%)*
  • PK: 17th at 79.50%, up from 19th at 78.60% last week (net 14th at 82.70%)*
  • FO: 12th at 50.60%, down from 11th at 50.80% last week

12. Jets:  Goaltending:

  • Connor Hellebuyck:  12-14-6 … 2.69 GAA … .902 SV%
  • Eric Comrie:  8-9-1 … 3.19 GAA … .888 SV%

13. Jets:  The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly this past week.

  • Good:  Logan Stanley is playing at a level that no one could have imagined at this time last season.
  • Bad:  The goals at even strength have completely dried up. 
  • Ugly:  The Jets played 4 games this past week, and they scored TWO goals at even strength.  TWO in 12 periods of hockey.  

14. Jets:  Old adage time: This week’s old adage is very pertinent concerning the Winnipeg Jets.  “One game at a time.”

15. Things that make me go hmmm: #2 🤔 I often wonder why trading pending UFAs or trading at the trade deadline seems to trigger a narrative that a team is either a buyer (bulking up for a playoff run) or a seller (basically giving up on the season).  Why can’t you be both?  Example:  If the Jets trade pending free agents Luke Schenn and/or Logan Stanley, what do you think it means?  Are they giving up on the season?
