Opening night of the Winnipeg Jets season couldn’t have gone much better, with the Jets routing the Oilers 6-0. What went well for Winnipeg in a game where the top-6 didn’t score at 5v5? Should we be a bit concerned about the second line? Just how many points might this Lowry line accumulate this season? Are the special teams truly special once again? How might a functional power play and penalty kill impact this season?

Sick and tired of you bashing Conner, he is the second best player on the Jets, after Valardi. Ehlers goes 15 games at a time with no points. Plus with any luck we trade him at the end of the year for some grit. Ehlers was again invisible tonight while the team thrived. Can't wait for Lambert to replace Ehler
Go Jets!!! Although tbh the Oilers threw an air ball in last year’s 8-0 opener against VanCity.
Jets didn't worry me as I did yesterday. Didn't expect a 6-0 shutdown but Oilers can be shutdown we know how to do it. They have weak D and leaky goaltending again this year.😎👍
Do you still think Lambert should be starting ? People are gonna realize pretty quickly that Appleton is part of one of the best shut down lines in the league. Why would anyone want to change that?
The 'second' line may be improved by having Morgan Barron, especially if Ehlers stays on the line. He can sort of take face-offs, as well as Namestnikov. So, Perfetti, Barron and Ehlers (two guys with speed…or Kupari? They would be the 'grinders')
I especially like the idea of Barron (big and fast with two 'smaller' guys).
Got to be happy about the win. I think Samberg struggled a few times, Fleury and Miller too struggled with the first pass. Names line struggled, Ehlers and fetts out of sync. But good team effort overall
PP was encouraging
The Jets have the best 3rd line on the NHL. Thank goodness they didn't break it up to introduce a rookie. They also shutdown McDavid and friends.
Not sewering the Jets today huh Harrison?
Swap Kupari and Namestnikov. Minimal line disruption. Bigger body with some upside.
As a lifelong Jets fan I must say you couldn't ask for a better start to this season, especially after the events at the end of last season. Of course, …it's all about how you finish a season rather than how you start, but this was one of the sweeter wins I've seen.
Mark has told the Jets Brass that he doesnt want to play with Nick Ehlers, that is clear, and for some reason he gets his way. Spoiled…
