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?

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? ******
