There has been comments about the team seeming lighter and looser mood from previous years.

I have also been pleasantly surprised by Bownes. Time will tell if he is able to extract enough out of this team. Either way, I'm excited to get the season started.

Good start to the season except for Bowness in Covid ! Liked 2 out of the 3 periods and Hellybucyk was positionly sound and played really well except the 2nd period puck gaffe . 55, 27, 81 is going to give lots of teams fits with their speed and creativity. Scheif looks energized and great workmanlike effort by the third line and Wheeler .

Undefeated in the last one games!

But seriously though, it's nice to see the Jets off to a good start. It looks like things have definitely changed since last season.

Stripping the C off a fading player on the downside of his career was a plus!

Finding equal value for the malcontent Dubois would be a plus!

The new individual player goal songs are awesome this year. PLD has the best one by far.

dennis · #**7888** Posted **Oct 18, 2022, 4:11 AM**

What a fall! Going from undefeated to a 0.500 team in such a short span of time.

Biff · #**7889** Posted **Oct 20, 2022, 5:06 PM**

What is the Jets aversion to colour? They seem to think that the reverse retro means photo negative. To be honest, I have no idea what a reverse retro is supposed to be, but why just white, blue and grey? I find it very bland.

Likely just me.

There have been so many rounds of reverse retro, alternates, throwbacks, etc. that they're all just starting to look like rehashes of the same thing, over and over again, hoping that they can convince the fans to pony up another $300 for one.

That said, Minnesota and LA should 100% return to those reverse retro colours.

In other news, how about that OT vs Colorado last night? I have to admit that when I saw Lowry, Appleton and Pionk line up against McKinnon, Rantanen and Makar I thought "uh oh", but that worked out better than anything I could have imagined!

Love the retro Sharks/Seals, Chicago and St. Louis, though a lot of St. Louis has to do with the model wearing it. Rowr.

Great result against the Avs, but what's the deal with the second period so far this year?

Biff · #**7892** Posted **Oct 23, 2022, 1:40 AM**

So I wonder when the Jets brass will realize that not making any changes is resulting in no changes in the Jets game. They don’t look any different than last year.

I know they have a tough starting schedule but.

Trade wouldn't have helped this team.

They beat the Ranger's. A top teir team.
They beat the Avs a top teir team.

As usual thou. They play lesser teams and they play down to them... exactly how they been since 2019.

I'll give them 20 games though. After that then time to blow up the team.

thebasketballgeek · #**7895** Posted **Oct 23, 2022, 3:36 AM**

I knew this from the very start. Sell everyone except KC, Ehlers, and Perfetti and tank for the generational talent.

US Thanksgiving is on Nov. 24. We'll have a clear understanding of where things stand at that point.

Right now they are looking more or less like what they've been for the past couple of seasons... a bubble team that will probably miss the playoffs, or maybe at best they'll just squeak into the 8th seed before a quick first round exit. This is not a team built to go the distance.

At least the Moose and ICE are great teams and will compete for their respective cups this season. Go out and support those teams! They could use it!

I caught a period of a Moose game recently and the arena looked mostly empty. Wonder how much longer the team stays there if they can't really get crowds out...most of the purpose of having a farm team nearby is for convenience of calling players up and down but having them play in an empty building isn't ideal either.

If the Ice can get a new 4500 seat arena built in South Winnipeg would probably be a much better venue not only for them but also the moose. However 3 teams of nhl ahl and whl in this market is just too much especially with justinflation only so much for the entertainment dollar to go round.
