If you want to sell season tickets then lower the prices and fill the seats. Everyone is going through an economic crunch right now due to the BS of this present Federal Government and it is time to take a bit of a hit for the fans if you want them back. Even better, win the Stanley Cup. Go Jets Go!!!
Well done on the ticket to the ball boys!!..
I’d buy tickets more often if Bettman made the brand like THAT classic last night. Also downtown visits feel like Higgins and Main so like just move that arena to … anywhere else. And congrats on new sponsors ! Thank you dudes 😊
Pardon my French, but F*** Ryan Hartman. Hope the piece of crap gets what he deserves

Yesterday was a statement game. Jets don't fight to injure they fight for pride!!!
Congrats on the playoffs guys. I despise narcicist Scheflie,but otherwise I have no issue with your team,& am happy for you guys,& WPG,where hockey is clearly so important-though Ive never been to Canada. I will be rooting hard for you round 1-especially if its Vegas. I dont think youd have much shot vs Edmonton,other than its hockey,& everybody who gets in,really does have a shot-unlike the nba. And you have a top 5 goalie on earth-which is why Id give you a decent shot at Vegas. Plus I think they are a bit fraudulent.
I also wanna thank the Jets for doing us,& Dallas a big favor. I still think its SOMEWHAT important we win the central,but guaranteeing home ice round 1 is a nice consolation prize,if we stumble. At least we know worst case,we aint going to Minny for games 1,& 2-Ill be working those games,& a potential game 7 against whoever. 1st guarantees nothing,& falling short wouldnt doom us,but til last night-a possible path of at Minny,& at Dallas is signifigantly tougher-my opinion-than probably getting Seattle,& Dallas-Minny winner in Denver.
Last point I wanna bring up,& toss at you guys is-tell me Bowness is smart enough not to start overworked Hellunbuck at Ball tomorow,in a totally meaningless game for you. Obviously,Im biased-we still need to win to take the central,& Id much rather face 1 of the worst backups in the nhl-Rittich(or whatever AHL prospect you have,etc)…then 1 of the 4 or 5 best on the planet. But honestly,even if I was a Jet fan,Id feel exactly the same way. I get why you overwork Hellunbuck-he can handle it better than other goalies,& you were in a fight for your lives. And the gap between your #1,& #2-might be as big as any nhl team. Weve had to kinda overplay Giorgiev,when Francouz was hurt,& best case would be that Friday game in Nashville is meaningless,so we can rest him,& get Francouz another start to knock off the rust. But thatd take St Louis stealing 2pts in this home,& home with Dallas,& us beating you-so who knows?
But I can see no good reason why WPG would play Hellunbuck tomorow. He has to be great for WPG to have a playoff chance,& he flat out is overworked-thats undeniable. I respect Bowness-tell me hes smart enough to realize all this. Its hockey,it wouldnt give us a guaranteed win,but improve the odds greatly,& just makes so much sense for WPG-as thats obviously all that matters in the decision making here. Bowness,& the Jets dont care who wins the division,or about helping us-nor should they. It would though also give him a chance to stick it to his old team Dallas-lol. All kidding aside,I dont think thats a factor,but its a no brainer to me,for the good of the Jets chances. Chancing an injury& playing him at altitude should be more reasons to sit him.
Fire Chevy and I’ll buy Jets tickets.
Jets need a better public voice for the organization than either Chipman or Chevy. Both are a real turn off.
The Kyle Beech fiasco alone is enough reason not to buy tickets. Every time I hear Chevy speak I think about how he was quite happy cashing his cheques for 10 years knowing that he took part in covering up the destruction of a young man's life.
Ehlers play and additional ice time is a very big part of the resurgence of this team. He’s loved by the fans too, so protect him. Jets should go get Nick DeLauarier and Nick Seeler from the Flyers for next year. Regular season and playoffs two different animals.
Bring on Vegas
Pionk fined $5,000? Reaves and Hartman zippo? Ugh.
Video online of Ehlers having to get a trainer to pull the sweater off of his right arm. Appears his left shoulder is injured.
The Wild moved up to the top of my most hated over the Oil.
What would be really cool is if they could just bring up the whole farm team to play this last game and all take the night off.
Mm. I don't think Applesauce said "full set" I think he said "one seven"
My opinion is that Blake Wheeler turned off many Winnipeg fans with his repeated arrogant, discourteous and impolite interviews and comments. He did not represent the organization professionally. He came across as being ungrateful & miserable… equally puzzling is that True North didn’t seem to have a grip of how he was coming across to the market & this was destroying their brand. The effects are long standing… I think this & 55’s weird interviews are the reason some fans haven’t returned. True North needs to ensure that high quality professionals like Adam Lowry, Josh Morrissey, Brendan Dillon, Connor Hellebuyck, Nic Ehlers etc are the face of their organization.
After this game I feel the Jets are on track to keep improving……they need a fully committed team game from every player especially Scheifle, Connor, Wheeler who need to keep ramping up their intensity….AND…Helley to be his ABSOLUTE best to make any noise in the playoffs…..
Here's a trade proposal, for this off-season. I think it would work for both teams.
Mark Schiefele to the Washington Capitals (assuming he signs an extension) for their 2023 1st (which right now is the 8th pick) and Evgeny Kuznetsov.
The benefit to us (Jets): we get a top-10 pick in this draft, we get a decent center with 2 years left under contract, so it buys us some time to get our center situation sorted out.
Benefit to the Capitals: They get a center with more upside than Kuznetsov, someone who can help Ovechkin break the goal scoring record, someone who can take the mantle from Backstrom, and a bit of salary dump (Kuznetsov) for a guy who wants a change of scenery.
I'd make this trade! Would you?
