No, that wasn't clarity....Ric corrected himself later on. But to sum up... So according to TSN, the Winnipeg Jets are the 3rd team in the NHL's expansion era (since 1967) to allow 3 goals or less in at least 26 straight games. They need to get one more to tie St. Louis and nine more defensive gems to catch Minnesota. So, it's pretty much official....the Jets are on a franchise best run and closing in on the record books. Good to know. Finally some clarification👍. Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! Good to know that there will no longer be any further needed debate to clarify👍! Thanks for that info BOJA👍. Guess you won’t have to answer to my challenge, I’m glad that this is over and done with, thank goodness👍! Cheers, 2b9👍

I'm not sure Heinola or Chisholm can crack this line up right now either. It would be great to have some depth back there for playoffs though...I remember one season when we had d-men dropping like flies and luckily we had guys who could fill in adequately. I still like the idea of having the big guy in the wings if you need to fill a spot. I'd be surprised if Chevy moves any of them before the deadline, unless there's a player (D or F) out there he just can't do without and the other team is demanding one of our d-men. I heard Monahan's name mentioned the other day as though this is someone Chevy might be targeting. Good fit? I think he actually fits our style pretty well. I always think of him as injury prone though... Assuming the Flames aren't making the playoffs, my dream rental would be Lindholm. He'd be a nice fit on our top 6.

In years past when the Jets would go down by one or two the game was probably over. Not any more

Scheif's line has had to face the opposition's checking line every game. Scheif has one or two players hacking and holding him every shift. I imagine it's got to wear on him. This is where elite players find a way to battle through. His wingers aren't accustomed to all the attention either. Defensively they're holding their own. They'll figure it out. Thankfully there's 3 other lines that have picked up the pace and the Jets are winning because of it. It's a team game. It's how you win in the playoffs.

Offensive minded players tend to be streaky by nature, defensive minded players just play.

A comment regarding our depth - TB still has some very skilled players but Mikey Eyssimont is their 3rd line center right now and he is not good enough to be our 4th line center. Actually he would probably be behind both Kupari and Gus. Our depth is crazy good right now.

So...nobody else notice Namestnikov centering Ehlers and Vilardi, with Scheifele going down to line 2 for the last half of P3? I'm not sure, I noticed Perfetti and Scheifele playing together for a bit but I wasn't sure if that was because of shift changes gone bad or if coach was shuffling. Seems a good idea to do something to get that top line going...but I'm not sure it matters who you put on Scheif's line if Scheif isn't going well for some reason. Maybe he is banged up after all? Watched the post-game and Bones seemed to say he made the switch at the top of P3. Weird that none of us noticed and I was really only wondering. (Link should take you to the question and Bones' answer) www.youtube.com/live/4jYieKQcwRM?si=DumMdyxqXnejsB9d&t=880

But I can't imagine what they'd have to give up for that.

Stamkos is 33 and signing him would be like signing Wheeler's last contract. Both were/are of the age where they're fighting father time. And makes you a depreciating asset. Wheeler's last contract was a mistake and hamstrung the club going forward. Don't throw good money after bad to chase the dream. Stamkos salary is 6.5M and cap hit is 8.5M.

I noticed 55 was out with different guys, thought it was a bad line change. Also noticed that our alleged top line isn't playing in the last couple of minutes, which actually comes as a relief to me. Going to be interesting as our injured guys return what our lines look like.

I'm starting to think our defence is ok. Maybe look for a big power forward, with hands, at the deadline. Still lacking in that area. Extend Dillon and DeMelo. Apparently both want to stay in Winnipeg. We need guys like that. Do something with Stanley. He can't crack this line-up. The Stanley ship has sailed. Extending Dillon and DeMelo works for me.

According to @natstattrick from last night's game 3 out of the 4 worst defenders were our top line. 55 was the worst. I agree 55 gets a lot of attention, but I also see him coughing up the puck rather easily, and rarely being physical. I also agree with your comment that " elite players find a way to battle through".
