That Edmonton run in 2006 was a run for the ages though. -
2023 NHL Playoffs Thread
kelownabomberfan replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
yes obviously the folly of that has occurred to me too. How about this then - the Oilers in 2006. Snuck into the playoffs. Then took out the Red Wings in the first round, which wasn't supposed to happen. Had a hot goalie and a team that gelled at just the right time, and rode that guy all the way to the SC finals. Anyway, if we even make it to the second round I will be ecstatic. -
2023 NHL Playoffs Thread

Hear me out - this season is reminding me a lot of the Bombers in 2019. Had a strong start, then Nichols got hurt, and it seemed like all was pretty much lost. The team was kind of floundering. And then right before the playoffs, the team galvanized and started to really find itself. I get that feeling right now from the Jets. I know that this is 99% homerism but on the other hand, we're actually pretty good. We can lay a beating on just about anyone if the team is skating. I see Helle is doing his head bob thing again after making a big save, which means that he's in the zone (I always notice that little tell of his when he's feeling it). A hot goalie can carry a team a long way, and if the Jets can shut down the shots from the other team, then we've got a shot against anybody. And now...watch the Jets go out 4 straight and make me look the fool...once again. Oh well...I tried. Only an hour and half to Crown time.... -

I will just hope that the Jets get the first goal in every game they play in the playoffs. Their chances of winning go up exponentially after that. -

Round 1 - Game 1 : @ Venetian Golden Knights
kelownabomberfan replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
who'd thunk all it would take was to get Scheif out of the center position and on the wing with PLD? Amazing how one line up change can turn an entire season around, and turn a team that looked flustered and lost into a behemoth who just steam-rolled right over those hapless Vegas bums last night. -

Just when I think I can't love that Morgan Barron kid any more than I already do, he goes and gets 75 stitches and keeps playing. -

Now imagine if Edmonton hadn't gotten that miracle draft pick and McDavid went to the Sabres instead. Would we still be having this conversation?
