@theredbrigade@worldhockeyrpt 5 or 6 years later and people still cry about this hit 😂 Evan’s wasn’t even injured, walking around at the arena literally the next day
With Anaheim’s win on Monday night, the #NHLJets are now 9 points out of the final Western Conference wildcard playoff spot.
They have 6 other non-playoff teams to jump.
They have 34 games left.
Here’s the moment 2022 third-round pick Danny Zhilkin got the call from #MBMoose head coach Mark Morrison to go up and play with the #NHLJets.

@ScottBilleck They also basically knew that Ehlers wasn’t resigning a year earlier, needed to trade him like Carolina did for rantanen, a good young player and two 1sts, obviously Ehlers doesn’t get the same return but…
@jeffkhamilton Tough quote but in fairness, he was a stud and likely the 2C last year if not this year if he didn’t have that disease. Wouldn’t solve their problems, but they’d have at least hit on a prospect and developed properly, which can’t be said about a lot of recent drafts.
Mark Scheifele scores two goals, sets up another, gets eight shots on net, gets robbed by Dennis Hildeby in the dying seconds, and exudes class in a difficult postgame interview with Ken Wiebe.
This may be Scheifele at his absolute best and it is wasted (in the immediate term.)
@ScottBilleck He lost his balance and leaned on the leaf to stop himself from falling, if you watch it back. Just pretty unlucky but yea can’t do that lol.
Let's play a game. Name 10 forwards you'd take over Cirelli on Team Canada.
I'll go first:
Scheifele
Johnston
Bedard
Tavares
Konecny
O'Reilly
Vilardi
Bennett
Kadri
Barzal
@MikeBartner As someone watches the jets every night, couldn’t be more wrong. He’s not getting any selke votes for sure but his defensive game is pretty good for the most part, he can play very physically if he wants to and is a pain in the ass in the corners, super hard to take puck off him!
In response to the Wild’s Hughes trade, I’m hearing per sources Winnipeg GM Kevin Cheveldayoff is eyeing Bryan Little for a return to the NHL.
This would be big as the 38 year old could solve the Jets 2C problems.
The Central Divisions arms race rages on. 💣
