- The Jets have been a good story at times over the last 12 months, but there have been troubling signs the franchise is in trouble over that time as well.

Die hard Edmonton Oilers fan here, love my team and city but I have to say the Winnipeg Jets are my 2nd team. They'll rebound back, they are not Toronto, they'll find a way. Love Adam Lowry, love the fans, love the whiteout and I'll always cheer for you when my team is out. Stay strong Winnipeg
Sincerely an Oilers fan
I kinda hate how people are talking about the jets moving now when meanwhile the league did everything they could to keep Arizona for over a decade despite the on ice team also being terrible.
Talk of any team moving (Jets included) is just idle barking unless the ownership is unstable. And the Jets have some of the stablest ownership in the league that just bought in on two significant downtown developments. It'll take more than 1-2K empty seats a game to get the owner interested in selling.
People will talk but winnipegers know there’s no need to worry any time soon. True North has invested way too much money in the surrounding areas to be able to afford to lose this team. Plus our owner is the richest person in Canada
they wont move unless money is the reason. i also feel that arizonas ownership is the majority of the problem with that situation, as far as the nhl is concerned they just want the drama to be over.
i dont think the jets are realistically moving anytime soon. but that depends on them making better decisions at better times than arizona did with their state.
I've heard the ownership kinda screwed ST holders forcing them to pay for three years+ interest to renew this season. Dunno if that's true but thought that was weird.
TNSE isn’t going to sell the team, large developments happening in the downtown core we are talking several billions. For the STH issues, TNSE had a policy where they needed people to sign on long term to show their longevity. However some shareholders couldn’t afford or moved and couldn’t satisfy the agreement that’s where you hear disgruntled fans. There is some issues TNSE has to figure out, from raising the the corporate STH to 30% from 15%. How to market to a blue collar town then a major city like Toronto and New York. We have a strong base, but it takes time with selling season tickets. People will go to games if a major game is on, compared to not as great teams (a lot of nhl teams are like that). In Winnipeg it’s about a deal. We like our deals. And the problem is people want to buy so they can go to the games they want and sell the rest. But when you play Columbus or San Jose, no one cares so those tickets will never sell if you are a STH. So STH don’t resign when they can get them on a third party app for cheap, and avoid the sunken cost. To them that’s a better deal. So TNSE needs to try to tackle the games the fans don’t want to see. TNSE needs to say this is a game (Columbus) not to miss with some whacky promotion. Whereas selling tickets to wild, the leafs, Montreal game won’t be a problem. The real problem will come when mark chipman dies. Will the org be strong enough to continue? The real benefits for longevity in the city is our city is rapidly growing and the large developments hitting the core this summer and next. Overall I’m not worried, but don’t be surprised if we don’t sell out STH for the next couple of years.
tickets are too expensive, especially when they have proven over and over that they cannot do anything in the playoffs. nevermind $14 a beer. Jets need to look at how the Bombers run things
They should do cheap beers to get fans into it more imo
@@patrickgoulet8170I went to a game in March against Anaheim and they had a few bars in the arena doing a happy hour. I told the bartender I didn’t know they did that and they said they just started trying it out to get people in the doors earlier and get a better atmosphere etc. Finally, TNSE is realizing they need to start trying. Hope that continues and expands.
The reason the Jets attendance is low is that ticket prices have spiked like crazy in recent years, way faster than inflation. That's why the team is not worried, they are still making more money from ticket sales than most US based teams.
Winnipeg isn’t a very rich city the people here are working class people and when you charge thousands of dollars for lower zone playoff tickets yeah people are going to get turned off
@@lebronbrady6638Winnipeg as a city, also doesn't have the corporate dollars of a MTL, TOR, VAN, etc
Not to mention the gouging that comes from parking, food and beverages
They need a new building. It's too small.
@@bobsmith962 lol good luck with that
You did not mention or talk about Gabe Vilardi, he could be a difference maker, but he needs to be consistently healthy
Since Dustin Byfuglien left, nearly all of the Jets' playoff appearances have resulted in quick exits.
I'm a very simple man in this respect... I see "The Hockey Guy" make new Jets content, and I stop whatever I *was* watching, and start this instead...
Yep
I think since the Coyotes are now deactivated the history of the original Jets history should return to the new Jets. The Atlanta Thrashers history should go back to the city.
Nah im not a winnipeg fan but their ability to fill up the area outside their arena with fans during the playoffs is crazy. Theyre some of the most deserving of a franchise
Meruelo has the rights to all that for some period of time.
Why? It wouldn't make sense for, just as an example Dustin Byfuglien and Teemu Selanne to be part of the same team history if the franchises were completely different. Just like it wouldn't make sense if a new Atlanta team were to also have Flames and Thrashers history. Same with the Rockies and Avs. I think the whole franchise history scheme is completely fine.
What about Flames history?
I never understood this argument we are the thrashers now not the coyotes, we should be proud of our story
I live in Winnipeg most fans are happy with the season
The Jets had a great season. Thats all. It ends there. But the Jets issues are not the team itself...yeah we need a change but it's been how the owners are conducting themselves in regards to the cost and treatment of fans inside the arena. History repeats itself...i hope not but it does. A great season ended in absolute disappointment.
Jets had an awesome season
Another first round exit is not that great. Great regular season, but a piss-poor playoff where the team was exposed. Jets have a lot of nice players, but they don't have enough players that are built for the playoffs.
The Jets need more players that are built for the playoffs. Guys that can fire up the group. Far too many times, this team gets hit in the mouth, and they just fold. They get down 2-0 or 3-0, and their heads drop on the bench and there's no belief or confidence that they'll come back. Top teams fall behind, and they don't quit and keep fighting. Sometimes they come back, and when they don't, they still go out fighting.
And also, which is similar to the Leafs, the Jets have an ownership group that like to be safe and not make brash moves. They reward loyalty and friendship instead of going by results. No matter how many people keep saying Chevy is a good GM, the fact of the matter is that the team has 3 playoff series wins in his 13 seasons as GM. Where else would that be considered acceptable? We've seen GMs that have won cups not last as long after a few bad years.
And the Jets need a coach that will be able to roll four lines that can all provide offense. As it is, with this top 6 loaded up for offense and bottom 6 set more for defense, if the top 6 goes cold, then this team doesn't score. You look at teams that win the cup, and they're able to roll four lines that can provide offense.
This is so relevant. The management consistently puts together a talented roster and retains depth. Drafts well. But you are so right..they have not had a roster with players who have to win in postseason games. That certain edge. It can be a part of things..just need attention to that. Tampa did it by adding incisive role players. We know what Florida has done. Vegas likes quietly intense competitive players. Every viable team figures this out. Jets aren’t that far off.
The grass isn't always greener, didn't you learn with Monahan and toffoli this year. There are other teams that have less playoff success but I'm probably not changing anyone's mind nor do I care to.
@@patrickgoulet8170 I would not have thought either of those guys to be a playoff fit. Each have excelled in their careers but Toffoli has really bounced around and this was one stop too many. Monahan was possibly done with his career from injuries and did well enough in Montreal..again each not an answer to playoff hopes..
How much was Coach Bowness the BBC answer for a playoff run.. that was for me the area where I doubted things. He was quite good at taking over for Coach Montgomery in Dallas on short term but ultimately he was polarizing preseason and they moved on from him.
Ohh Toffoli to Utah is a good call. Like that idea a lot
Really wish they could have the option to use their white jerseys for the home games, it just feels weird to me seeing that nice whiteout and then the jets wearing the color jerseys.
I could have sworn for at least one of the games against the Blues in 2019 they wore the white at home.
Time for a Blue out.
I look forward to hearing your video on the Capitals. ❤ The content.
I have been a loyal Jets fan since 1972. The year of the million dollar Golden Jet. This past season was the best Jets team I have seen, either version 1.0 or 2.0. I look forward to the improvements Cheveldayoff makes over this summer and look forward to the next season, with an even better roster. Thankyou for your service Mr. Bowness both version 1.0 and 2.0. Once a Jet, always a Jet.
They need a modern coach who can embrace the new systems. Maybe they should give Jay Woodcroft a shot. I still don't think the Oilers horrendous start this season was on him.
I might be biased, because Barlow is from my hometown, but I absolutely can not wait to see him play for the Jets!
Is it worth mentioning that 2020 aside, the team they lose to in the playoffs made the finals? 2018 Vegas, 2019 Blues, 2021 Canadiens, 2023 Vegas.
Nope. That's just a trivia question at this point.
huh, so just like the Leafs..
Same with the leafs, 2020 aside as well lol. 2019 Bruins, 2021, Habs, 2022 Bolts, 2023 Panthers
I heard some Toronto fans say the same thing, I dont think it's the right mindset. Watch we Oilers fan will say the same as well, lol.
@@lukebickerstaff9651 Exactly. Every time somebody tries to bring that fact up, it just seems like an excuse to explain away their loss and make it seem like the Jets aren't that far off since they lost to the eventual cup finalist or cup champ. The Jets have won 3 playoff series in their first 13 seasons back, so losing is losing no matter what their opponent goes onto to do the rest of playoffs.
If only Cole Perfetti scored 71 goals this season lol. Move aside Goal Caufield, we got Goal Perfetti instead!
Man idk how to feel about the future
i dont wanna hear that- i hate the jets- actively root for their downfall even for very stupid very petty reasons (several random incidents in games with the dallas stars where ya boys took some hockey liberties and got away with it) - the jets have no right to feel unsure about their future just cause they temporarily feel like the second coming of toronto. yall are better than that have a good goaltender- had rick shore up your defensive planner- which only bodes well for the next guy they bring in as they wont have to overhall the entire defensive playbook, the stars can attest to that.ALSO you have one of the best playoff traditions ever. i might hate their guts but put that down and see the hockey lover within you-and trust theyll find a spark. youre not buffalo or the clipped wings blackhawks, or a yotes fan who had to literally watch your team keep showing sparks of brilliance just to fumble into utah, youre the phoenix. a damn good team that just refuses to leave, you spent sometime in hell (atlanta) and ya came back 3 days later(several years) have some faith and maybe bully the owners into doing better promotions. its no fun kicking a dead puppy i only want to win if everyone is legitimately godtier. and i want everyone to feel the exact same way as i do when you move on in each round. thats how ya get the best hockey. and ultimately i remember that more than i dwell on their limits. dobby didnt beat the bolts- but boy did i believe he could. its magical to feel like that, i remember crying after that brutal bolts win. but thats it- the rest of the memories are of glory- kivi scoring a hatty against the avs, dobby raising his skill to its highest level built in rags to riches narrative- everyone was cheering and happy and in a good mood for like 80% of that run. and i made a song from a qoute in the locker room "were not going home" we eventually did but we were just so happy to have each new day graspin. forget that part- and thats how you become the leafs.
I love all Canadian teams Winnipeg can do it what about Todd McClellan
They just need better coaching
thats a cool hat
Excellent analysis by THG as always!
I agree with shopping Ehlers, Pionk, & Schmidt in the off season; definitely need to make substantive changes to the lineup!
In terms of a new HC, I’m hoping it is someone who does not have ties or previous ties to the organization. Like Scott Arniel. I would like to see Berube come in and shake things up.
Personal thoughts plus info from a survey by local paper - more Perfetti, more Broissoit (enough games to get him on the Jennings trophy), some bigger D men.
Play off change - go from the White Out (has only worked once to conference finals in 2018) to perhaps the 'Blue North' to rhyme with True North ... they'll make more $ with new nerch.
Blue North..... I'd buy into that. 🏒🥅
What was it the moose did a green or a blue out around 2008?
It looked horrible, the only fans you could notice was the ones wearing white.
LA did a black out one game, the place looked empty.
Some colors just don't work.
As a fan I never notice the c of red or the orange crush, it really just doesn't pop.
Hi Shannon !...
They would have needed to face a team like Nashville.
Or the Kings
WPG was 2nd in the West. LA was 7th
Downhill soon as we lost Byfuglien and Myers
That defence was insane with Byfuglien, Morrissey, Trouba, Myers, and Chiarot! Would love to get back to having a big mean defensive core.
@@sacrilegiousasparagus637 one of the most stacked blue lines I ever seen
Yep the defense has not been the same since the blue line exodus after 2019. It felt like Chevy didn't even try to keep Myers or Chiarot.
@@SugarHillSleep it was our X-factor and we haven’t been able to find another one (defensive or offensive) since. That’s why the avalanche were so good, they have the offensive x-factor.
Don't forget Tucker Poolman 😂
Lots of people here complaining about ticket and beer prices. i guess us season ticket holders have it made. With my discount a Bud draft was $10, plus there were deals where you could get a can for $8 before the end of warm up. My 200 zone tickets for round 1 were $175 each ticket, and we were allowed to get extra tickets. I snagged some in the 300's for $120 each. And for the record, I parked on Main St, free parking, 10 minute walk to the arena.
That's still more than a lot of working class people can afford to shell out right now.
I smell sarcasm
1. Gratuitous Simpsons quote: “THAT’S IT! BACK TO WINNIPEG!”
2. Blame the playoff format on why they didn’t go far. They drew C3)CO in Round 1. Had the format been this
8 teams/confrence
Division champs & rest are wild cards
Top Wild Card can be seeded 2
Worst Division Champ can be seeded 4
Reseed after each round
Home ice in Finals is most points
The playoffs would be
EAST
1)NYR-8)WSH
4)BOS-5)TOR
2)CAR-7)NYI
3)FL-6)TB
WEST
1)DAL-8)LV
4)CO-5)EDM
2)WPG-7)LA
3)VAN-6)NSH
Nah, the current playoff format is fine. How about the Jets play better and not give up 5+ goals a game? Learn to play some semblance of defence in the playoffs. Hellebuyck and the defence were equally atrocious. Full stop.
Morrissey needs some help. He’s one of the 10 best defenceman in the league, and on many nights he looks top 5. However it’s a major drop off after that on the Jets blue line.
I like the look of all the youth they have coming up front. I realize sheiffele is coming off signing a recent long term extension, but if you’re really looking to change the feel in the locker room, and create cap space, then he’s the guy you gotta move.
I also agree on Ehlers. He’s had flashes of short term brilliance over the course of his career, but the reality hasn’t really lived up to the hype for the most part. I think a change of scenery could be beneficial for both parties there. If you can move those two guys out, and bring a couple pieces back to shore up that D, and maybe a couple picks in return, it would be a smart move.
Id like to see Winnipeg ice a younger team next year. A group that’s built around Connor, Hallebuyk and Morrissey. Maybe some real hope for the future, instead of continued mediocrity can get the fans excited again. Something just feels stale there. An injection of youth, and some different leaders in that room will be a long term benefit in my opinion.
Look at what Dallas is doing right now. They’re rolling with 3, or 4 really young players, who are contributing for them nicely in the playoffs. All of whom they drafted well down the board, and, or got on the cheap from other teams that gave up on them too soon.
You always gotta have a few guys on entry level deals contributing, if you hope to stay competitive in the cap era. That means you need to be able to find gems late in the first, or in the second round consistently. That’s what’s worked well for Dallas; and for a small market team, it’s imperative that the Jets keep drafting well, and playing their young guys.
Yea then Lowry can put up 35 points as our top center. Super awesome.
@@patrickgoulet8170 I always laugh when I see people acting like their team would never survive without a so called star player being there anymore. What exactly has Scheiffele won in Winnipeg? He costs the team as many goals as he scores with some of the laziest backchecking in the league for an apparent top line centre.
@@diggergeensen860I will say I watched every jets game this year and mark played one of his best all around seasons then I've seen from him.. no his is not a super star but he is a first line center on most teams a point per game player and knows the game really well
@@PRIMEHDZ Scheifele would be lucky to be a second line center on most teams. He still makes too many defensive lapses. He was much better defensively 5-6 years ago. The last few seasons, he is constantly making soft plays and he's loses his assignment. The Jets top line does not drive the team. Far too many times this year, there were games where you couldn't find the top line, as that's how ineffective they were on the ice.
@@pomerlain8924 shows how much u know about hockey lol I watched all 87 jets games I stand by my first comment
I'm with you until the last bit: I think the same thing happening in back to back playoffs reflects on the coach. I can't find the quote from after this year's playoffs, but he admitted not changing how his team played over the course of the series, and it showed in how his teams played. Once their opponent figured them out, they lost four straight in back to back years. You can win in the regular season with good players, but you need good coaching to win in the playoffs. I think was a fine coach, but their post-season failures are at least partially at Bowness's feet. It'll be interesting to see what a new coach can do because as you said, there's talent there.
Hopefully they don't promote Arniel to Head Coach (but they likely will).
I’ve been saying for years since they lost that D core. Byfuglien, Trouba, Myers and more, this team lost its identity
heinola was supposed to be a regular and he got injured so he lost his spot. i think he’s in next year
And he shouldn't have lost his spot. He made the team, got injured, and then once healthy, they didn't give him another chance. That's BS. They didn't even try to see what he could do in the main club. But they give Stanley a chance and keep playing Pionk, who was a defensive liability.
@@pomerlain8924 true. bones said he wasn’t the same though which could’ve very much been true because of how players sometimes don’t bounce back right away from injury
Winnipeg needs to upgrade their defenseman....
It's clear as day that they're getting exposed.
Ya, that Jennings trophy for fewest goals against doesn't mean a thing!
Does THG have a video dedicated to Byfuglien?
Honestly, it feels like the Jets are really missing the physicality that Byfuglien brought to the team. If we could get that sort of physical set the tone guy and emotional leader again, it'd be greatly appreciated.
A simple plan for Winnipeg.Move your smaller players.A full size forward should be 6' to 6'4" and 210 plus a 6'4" player should be 220.Move Ehlers,Stanley and a nother left shot d guy.Play big hockey,like St.Louis did,look to Berube to coach.
Brossoit earned himself a shot as a starter, or at least a 1A/B somewhere else. And good for him
Love the Jets but they have never been the same since Dustin Byfuglien did not return. They are not intimidating and they dont have heart.
That Rutger McGroarty's name is giving me a "Rural Juror" vibe
perfetti with 71 goals this year lets go!!! lmao
Of the Canadian team in the playoffs, the Jets were my last pick for going to the second round. Toronto next. Was expecting Canucks and Oilers to meet in the second or third round.
Toronto and Winnipeg just seem to fade every year when the playoffs start.
It seems strange was wondering why 8l can say he wants to play with55 thought coach makes that call
Not to be annoying Shannon but did you forget to do the caps? Or did I just miss it?
I have not talked about them yet.
@@TheHockeyGuy cool I was just curious thank you i appreciate it! Have a great day! :)
When Connor was hurt it didn’t affect the team nearly as much as when Scheifele or Vilardi was hurt. Trade Connor for a top 4 defensemen. Make room for Perfetti and another youngster or two. Bring back Miller, and hopefully Brossoit (although what team wouldn’t want him as a 1B goalie. Resign Stanley as a 7th man, he played better as the year went on.
They should have won a cup already
I want to see what Ehlers does now that the Bowness brakes are off of him. I think if he gets the 20 minute treatment, he will be a superstar.
He would be a superstar if he didn't throw breakaway passes to the other team, if he found some defensive consistency in his game and played a role in a system rather than wheel around wherever he wants. If he had more than 4 goals in 35+ playoff games, if he wasn't injured every season except this last one, if he made his teammates better. I'd agree with you at that point.
LOL, I recognize that. That is sarcasm. I admit, he does have some Kuzmenko in him. I like that.
The problem the jets is their backend is not elite other than Morrisey
A lot of Jets haters out there. A year ago, everyone was saying they need a tear down -- they finished 4th overall. Now they are at a crossroads!! Sure they are lacking 2-3 key players but so are about 25 other teams.
Have you experienced the white out in person if not you cant understand it
I do think the boys got pissed when we lost the 35 game 3 or less goal streak. And the worst thing is it was a game we shouldn’t of pulled the goalie when the score was 3-1 that was a brutal call by bowness to pull and I do think that was the turning point with the jets. Nonetheless still a great season and I can see us losing to the cup champions for another year running
Kings and Jets are a wash between last year's trade. The only positive with the Jets is the fact that they got rid of PLD, and for the life of me, why would Blake and Luc sign him to an extension. As a Kings fan, it didn't resolve issues the year before, especially dealing head-on against the Oilers. It's becoming comical. 😅
From a non fan, despite this weak playoff showing there is a lot to be optimistic about. That Dubois trade was franchise revitalizing, certainly a playoff team at least next year or two.
They need to bring down the price of drinks in the arena and more people will go. I don’t want to pay $100 for nose bleed seats then have to pay $15 for a single beer, it’s just money that I can’t fit into my budget right now
Lived in Wpg all my life...why? I don't know lol. Man I remember the day the Jets left...Wpg felt old, dirty, empty...kind of like this again sad to say. I do believe Wpg will lose the Jets again but not yet. At $14 a beer!!! Plus all the other expenses and lets not forget how wonderfully safe downtown Wpg is (sigh). I'll continue to support my team the best I can but it is getting harder out there.
Strong words from the front lines
@@canadiansovietI’ve lived in Winnipeg my whole life and could not disagree more. jets owner David Thompson is the richest man in Canada and truth North year after year is investing the surrounding area. The most recent example is the complete demolition of Portage Place to create a proper mental health clinic to help those in need downtown. That’s not an owner who has moving the team as even a possibility. The Jets are not going anywhere, true north is all in on Winnipeg. They fought hard to get this team back and they will not drop it.
Two different views of people who live in Wpg. Bettman had to come to Wpg and 'talk' with Chipman. I'm not going to bring politics into this...driving down Main and walking downtown will tell most people what they already know. In the end 'mental health facilities' wont put asses in the seats nor lower the prices inside the arena. If you want to discuss politics in Wpg we can open a forum but this is about hockey and the Jets and viability as a hockey club in Wpg.
@@winnipegconcertfootage3958
You voted Liberal.
@@canadiansoviet actually I voted conservative 😂
Jets’ problem is that they lack star players who can carry the game… They have just one, Helly in the net… Connor is a good goal scorer, but he needs supporting cast. Scheifele is a good second line center at best… Morrissey is very good D, but he isn’t like Makar who can carry the team if needed… Their first line is probably second line at best for most of the PO teams (apart from Boston I guess)… they are just an average player team with a all-stars goalie…
I watched all their PO games, and they just couldn’t keep up with the Colorado’s talent… 🤷🏻♂️
What they need to do? Well, they need to attract star players… get 1st line center, and a passer to play with Connor. Get a steady def-man. They will probably need to take a shot on some players who don’t perform well and try to turn their careers around… 🤷🏻♂️
Almost every team drafts their core players and Jets have drafted only once in the top five in their thirteen drafts and that was when they took Laine behind Auston Matthews. Jets haven't been awful at drafting but not getting multiple picks in the top five really limits your chances of drafting superstar players. First five drafts they drafted Scheifele, Trouba, Morrissey, Ehlers, Kyle Connor in the first round, in those same drafts McKinnon, Barkov, McDavid, Draisaitl all went in the top five.
Question, which team do leaf fans root for during the Playoffs, once the Leafs are out of it? Other Canadian teams vs Eastern conference, or against their rivals? How about Jets fans?
The problem with the Jets was identified by Rick Bowness last year. Collectively the Jets are as soft as baby poo. They get physically pushed around by any team that decides they want to. The team has a bunch of guys who like to win and not a single soul who hates to lose. No spirit, no heart...no push back, year after year.
Didn’t morrissey play 83 games?
Wait that was monahan
A teams core is just the list of overpaid players
The Jets do well in the regular season, but that has not translated in the playoffs the past two years. I'm concerned about a new coach and having a year (or years) where the team backslides.
The team needs a new coach that will properly deploy guys in the line-up correctly.
I want Toffoli to stay. I know it's delusional.
The only reason I watched this video is because he's wearing the uniform the Jets *_should be wearing full time._*
If he wore their regular uni's, I was deleting this video off my feed. 😆
they need that jersey to signify the difference Winnipeg Jets 1 @ 2
Thought the Jets were going to the Finals back in 2018; was shocked Vegas brushed them aside so easily (only for Washington to stifle Vegas’ high-octane offense, win handily)
The Jets now are very good but not as stalwart as the 2017-18 team and now they’re several years older. It’s up to the Perfetti’s, Vilardi’s, Samberg’s on this edition to keep Winnipeg’s playoff chances continuing. For a 110-pt team, they got ousted like an 85-pt one that snuck in from a weak Division. 🤨
The 2017-18 team had less experience, but had a rock solid blueline and had scoring depth from all four lines. And they had guys that were built for the playoffs like Brandon Tanev, Bryan Little and Paul Stastny.
The team defense was also much better as they didn't give up a lot of high-danger chances and allowed Hellybuyck to see shots.
If the Jets couldnt win with a once in a millenium- player like Byfuglien , what chances do they have in the future ? Slim and none , and Slim just left town , Jets can sign quality players , they just cant keep them . And the players that they have signed long-term , have been consistantly dissapointing in the play-offs .
Byfuglien was hardly “slim”
The Winnipeg Not Yets
Jets choke every year in playoffs and it is getting old.
Defense is too small and the team plays too soft for playoffs.
Schmidt and pionk need to go.
Our gm won't make moves unless he is forced.
Fans are pissed.
Have been at both arenas in Wpg. Parking downtown and traffic does not compare with the old arena. This and the high ticket prices etc are a real turnoff for a lot of us. Particularly when we compare to other venues in the NHL.
Trading for rental players at the deadline there is like a 90% chance you are throwing away all you trade. The jets wasted a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick for nothing. Teams that constantly make the playoffs and do rental player trades and lose this can be the very reason they do not win the cup.
Sure if you win the cup you look smart but the odds are you will not.
Those picks will be nothing
@@BM_2002 A GM that can actually scout and draft would disagree and if you do not have that you fire them.
Call Keefe
Chevy has this summer to fix it. Start the year and if theres a slow start in December hes fired. Yep mid-season hes done
The Jets were the best team. Got screwed, again.
They didn't get screwed. They didn't show up. And they had a coach who was too stubborn to make changes.
they screwed themselves by playing like shit
They didn't play well
Sure buddy
Haha. I'm trolling. I'm just pissed at them. They're my team. I know they didn't play well. There's always next year. 👍. At least I'm not a delusional leaf fan expecting my team to win the cup every season. Lol
First
Ez bring in Eakins
$14 beer and 1k for a playoff ticket of course no one can go to these games, that and they choke so often
Wipe the slate clean. Move the Jets to Arizona, grant Atlanta another team and start the cycle all over again. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fans need to chant more than "Go Jets Go"... we really must make the goalies & core players distracted. "Go Team Go" is the worst chant. such a minimal effort! I am not saying don't chant "go jets go" but we must do better than that! I know we can!
They literally chanted “Pull your goalie” in game 1... how did that turn out?
The fact that's the standard chant across all professional sports in America says alot on how the general populace in America views sports as entertainment compared to how people from foreign countries view them as a lifestyle.
@@danielnam9026 They literally won that game, then the next game was only Go Jets Go and they lost that one. Thanks for proving my point! lol. It should be the responsibility of fans to make the opposition uncomfortable and distracted when away from home. Maybe the "white out" isn't successful for a reason. fans used to chant good things to upset the opposition like "silver medal" or "Laine's better" (not true. lol) or "pull your goalie" etc... fans can do better than the basic minimum effort.
@Matt Imagine spending money losing your voice to some stupid chants just to watch the players on the ice play like shit. Winning one game isn’t the end goal, it’s a best of seven.. you need to win 4 games in total.
@@danielnam9026 I do it all the time, I rarely leave the games with a voice. thanks captain obvious, but best of 7 with home ice advantage should be the difference maker. Jets don't have home ice advantage in fact, they are worse... fans need to step up! Jets fans (in my opinion) are the worst fans in the league. fickle and lazy recently. I strive to be a better fan than that. 11 games minimum I go to every season. plus playoff games. often I am the only fan cheering anything besides go jets go... I was chanting pull your goalie before it was picked up by the other fans. I was also chanting Georgy needs glasses. and where's your goalie?
The scary part of the Jets, is they cannot sell tickets.
Jets trade for Marner
Definitely not!
Kevin Cheveldayoff needs to be fired already. He’s been there long enough.
He's done quite well at bringing in players as well as doing well in the draft.
@@sameold5050 The team has 3 playoff series wins in his 13 seasons. That's not good enough, in any league. This is a results-based business. Not a "drafting players well" business. He should just be a scout for drafting players. But when it comes to the business of assembling a team, a new set of eyes is needed. The Jets need a GM that will be ruthless when it comes to winning. That means making the hard, but necessary moves to move the team forward. Chevy has not been willing to do that and it's what is holding this team back.

It's not easy getting top players to come to Winnipeg (or many Canadian teams).
It's getting worse & Winnipeg (and Calgary) seem to be very undesirable places.
Monahan & Toffoli, well done by Chevy getting them here without giving up any players off the roster. Maybe Monahan will re-sign, I'm doubtful though.
Hopefully they can bring in a great coach & not promote Arniel.
When over 25% of season ticket holders don't re-new, that is very troubling.
@@sameold5050 lol I love that response. No one hates Winnipeg, actually a lot of players like it because most players are close to home instead of being on the opposite side of the continent from home. Also Cheveldayoff is terrible I was just being easy on him. I was a Thrashers fan and I followed the team to Winnipeg, since I no longer follow them instead I’m a Buffalo fan now. But with that said he’s been there since 2011, that’s the longest tenure in the league currently. He hasn’t done anything. I agree he should go back to scouting like he did for Chicago before being hired in Winnipeg. The roster needs to be overhauled, they need to bring in a player with experience. Maybe someone like Pat Maroon. Cheveldayoff won’t do that instead he’ll bring a guy in like Alex Newhook and act like that is going to solve the veteran presence in that locker room. I’ll give him that he finally moved Wheeler because mainly I hate that man with every gut in my body lol🤣.

Look, if you think people like Shitterpeg,Manitoilet you're nuts.
It's undesirable for many reasons.
For over half a century there has been a net migration of people from Manitoba to other provinces.
It's hard to attract & retain people that have other options of places to live/work.
Any GM would have a difficult task building a top contending team here.
A rebuild (like other markets can), nope.
Chevy has done quite well considering this task.
Unfortunately, the Jets tend to look like contenders but they fall short in the playoffs.
Pat Maroon won't solve this.
And he didn't move Wheeler, he signed with the Rangers.
"hey, they're giving up everybody's waving white flags" 💀
Loseapeg 🤭
Kevin Cheveldayoff has been there for a long time and still hasn't been able to fix the Jets problem so maybe it's time to try a new GM>
Yep, I don't understand why people keep claiming he's done a good job. It's 13 seasons, and the team has won a grand total of 3 playoff series, and just 1 in the last 6 seasons. It doesn't matter the players he picks in the draft or if he wins a trade in July. Outside of 2018, he hasn't assembled a team that's built to win in the postseason. Can't keep blaming the coaching or the players. The Jets need a GM that will be ruthless.
Easily a top 5 most boring franchise in the NHL. Everything about them is vanilla and lame. Their goal song, their logo, their colors, their “legacy”, their roster… relocate them to a higher energy area.
They do not need to be relocated. Most of your complaint seems to be that you think they need a brand update.
I heard Spuzzum BC is pretty high energy
Have you ever been to a whiteout party? Didn't think so
Says the adult with a channel dedicated to playing children's games! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you are the Jets, you have to lower season ticket prices. The economy in Winnipeg has been f*cked since Covid, have to lower prices, and thats on the owner,
