@Swaggybenge I did not make it and I’m not even sure if the person it links to on Twitter originally made it either - I’d love to know because it’s still one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen and the creator deserves credit
Jets captain Adam Lowry knew what was coming when he met with the media today. He weighed in on the Devils’ decision to keep Connor Hellebuyck out of Tuesday’s game in Winnipeg.

This is what I’m hoping for - some WWE style shit where we see Jake Allen skate out for opening warmup only for him to remove the mask and reveal it’s been Hellebuyck the whole time right before the anthems
Hello from #NHLJets practice.
Nico Daws working in starter net today, although the morning skate tomorrow will be the better indication of who starts against NJD.
Morrissey working in a regular jersey again today.
Slept on it, the takes no one asked for on the Connor Hellebuyck non-game 🤷♂️:
1. From an entertainment and sports culture aspect alone this sucks for all invested.
2. You’re fooling yourself if you truly believe Connor Hellebuyck is running from an NHL start in Winnipeg. Are we all forgetting the environment in MTL, February 15, 2025?
3. The Winnipeg Jets are a “back up” goalie night team, harsh but fair.
4. NJD next 3 games far more valuable than this one; even if our emotions want to value this one more than any other
5. “Helle picks his own starts” was a Winnipeg thing and can’t assume another org would let him run it like WPG did. Hell, Brossoit’s name would be on a Jennings trophy if the Jets front office had the stones of this unpopular Mehta decision
6. Surely someone as calculated as Mehta is going to play Hellebuyck under the 62-65 starts he got in WPG and hope it benefits his team in the dance, speaking of things WPG should’ve done with Bross in tow.
7. This looks soft and paying fans in Winnipeg have every right to and likely will to an even greater degree voice their individual thoughts on it all
8. What matters to NJD’s aspirations does not equate to the perception of handling WPG’s circus for them. Sunny Mehta doesn’t owe us anything, even if I wish he did.
9. I believe he should play, but I have 0 stake in the NJD
10. There lessons in this, bigger picture, that the organization whose success we care about can probably take from this.
11. Welcome to MLB style management, NHL.
I’m watching eastern promises right now featuring Viggo mortensen in honor of another Viggo - is this gonna be a bit of a buzzkill or am I gonna be feeling really good about the Winnipeg jets and life after?
