Man do I love seeing Vilardi infront of the net. We had none of that last year

Not a bad 1st, but Winnipeg should be outplaying them based on the Jets playing their 1st & 4th lines while the Oilers maybe have their 4th line out there tonight.

Yeah it was an ok first...I know some of the veterans have a tough time getting up for exhibition games...maybe more so when playing against a roster of nobodies.

I'm a Vilardi fan already. Big and strong along the boards can keep the puck in the offensive zone longer.

Our boy Buttons a little over the top saying Jets are a playoff team.

Our boy Buttons a little over the top saying Jets are a playoff team. On paper, I think Winnipeg should have a real shot at the playoffs. Another top 5 goaltending and top 10 finish in goals against should give them a real shot. Whether the actual players can buy in and get it done is a whole 'nother story.

Torgersson & Lucius building some chemistry that will pay off for the Manitoba Moose this season.

I'm with Buttons.I think they are a playoff team. Deeper than last year and less "issues ".Lots of players playing for new contracts either on the Jets or elsewhere doesn't hurt either.

Problem is , as we all know, if we are in the playoff hunt at the trade deadline we may not trade 55 or Helle (assuming not signed yet).

Playoffs, meh, why not. I think just as addition by subtraction, they got rid of 1. the morale killer and 2. the guy who was plotting his way out of town since before he got here...brought in guys who if they were even half hearted should make the Jets better.

I think the Jets will be a better defensive team. I think they'll have problems scoring. They don't have a sold 2nd team PP from the personel i can see and their 2nd line center whoever it might be will be average. Based on that i don't see their 3rd line with Lowry as the center and Appleton on the wing offering much different. Their fourth line, which we still don't know the combination of is at best an unknown and worst if Gus is the center will be devoid of offence.

Their fourth line, which we still don't know the combination of is at best an unknown and worst if Gus is the center will be devoid of offence. Winnipeg won't be high-scoring, that's true. From a recent review I started, it appears that the average 2nd liner (4th to 6th in TOI for forwards) gets about 50 pts per season. If Perfetti can stay healthy, I think he beats that as would Ehlers and possibly Niederreiter. The Jets will also need the bottom six to increase production and better PP scoring if they want a shot at the post-season. **The Jets were 23rd in goals scored last season, but they will probably have to be a bit higher than that to get in this year.**

Scheif looks pretty good out there for an exhibition game but he's one of those players who comes into camp in top shape.
