The Winnipeg Jets have been red hot over the last few weeks posting a record of 8-2-1. Despite the losses of Bryan Little, Mason Appleton and Gabriel Bourque the team keeps on rolling. Around the NHL some coaches have started to find themselves in the hot seat and Mike Babcock has been fired. On today's show the guys look at coaching styles and the…

The Winnipeg Jets have finally broken up Mark Sheifele and Blake Wheeler. The combination has been a staple on the top line for the Jets over the last couple of seasons, but with injuries and declining results a change was made. Does this make the top nine better? What still needs to be fixed? The guys also look at the improved play of Patrik Laine…

The Winnipeg Jets picked up five of a possible six points since the last podcast which has helped to keep spirits high among fans. The Jets haven't been blowing teams out, but have been winning some close ones. On today's show, the guys open up the mailbag and take some topics from Twitter. Thanks to everyone who contributed. @RonPalm01531078 - Top…

It's been a quiet week for the Winnipeg Jets with just two games being played in the last seven days. One was the Heritage Classic in Regina, and the other in Anaheim last night. The Jets went 1-1 but have been bitten by the injury bug and were looking pretty desperate for able bodied players. What do they do next? Can they tread water while they w…

Paul Maurice has split up Scheifele and Wheeler! Where do the Jets go from here? They picked up a nice 1-0 win over Edmonton but then struggled against the lowly Kings. What was a strength of the team, the offence, has now let them down the last couple of games. Blake Wheeler hasn't been scoring at a pace consistent with the last couple of years. S…

It's been an up and down stretch for the Winnipeg Jets. They won three straight before dropping the last two. Tuesday's game against Arizona was the first that wasn't a "sellout" since their return to Winnipeg in 2011. Should fans be worried? There have been some rumours about a return to the lineup for Dustin Byfuglien and Bryan Little. What kind …

NHL hockey is finally being played and the Winnipeg Jets are .500 after an opening four game road trip. No Dustin Byfuglien, no Josh Morrissey (for two games), yet somehow the team has done better than many expected. The Jets have been pleasantly surprised by the play of rookie Ville Heinola but on the other hand haven't been surprised with the ove…

The NHL season is finally here! The Winnipeg Jets open the season with a four game road trip starting in New York against the Rangers on Thursday. Kyle Connor and Patrik Laine have new contracts, Byfuglien is still at home, and Eric Comrie was claimed off of waivers. There is a lot of hockey news to cover and of course the entire season to preview.…

The NHL preseason has been moving right along and we are finally getting closer to meaningful games. Not a lot of progress has been made (from our perspective) when it comes to Kyle Connor, Patrik Laine and Dustin Byfuglien, so we will speculate on potential trade options. We will also break down the last few games and look at the players who've be…

After a long summer break the Winnipeg Jets and the Jets Nation Podcast are back! There is a lot to talk about since the last episode was released in July. Josh Morrissey has signed an 8-year extension, Kyle Connor and Patrik Laine still need new deals, Dustin Byfuglien is contemplating retirement and the NHL preseason has begun. Remember that not …

The opening of NHL free agency is in the rear view mirror but the Winnipeg Jets still have four key restricted free agents to sign (Patrik Laine, Kyle Connor, Andrew Copp, Neal Pionk). On this week's episode the guys break down the frenzy that was July 1st, react to the Jets' signings, and look at trade potential moving forward. (0:31 - July 1st re…

It's the busiest time of the year for off-ice NHL activity. The Winnipeg Jets have traded away an elite defenseman, have drafted what they hope could be an elite defenseman in the future and are now getting ready to spend money in free agency. Did they get enough for Trouba? Are the Winnipeg Jets going to be facing an offer sheet? How much can they…

After a brief playoff podcast break, the boys are back! The Stanley Cup has been handed out (Congratulations St. Louis) and now the NHL off season begins! The Winnipeg Jets are heading into what could arguably be their most difficult and influential offseason since arriving in Winnipeg. The Jets have key players needing contracts (Jacob Trouba, Pat…

Let the analysis begin! The Winnipeg Jets have been eliminated from the 2019 NHL Playoffs and start their off season early. The six game series with the St. Louis Blues had a bit of everything. The Jets struggled on home ice but then showed resiliency by winning two games on the road. The third period seemed to be a problem; why couldn't they hold …

It's the most wonderful time of the year; the Stanley Cup playoffs! The Winnipeg Jets have stumbled their way into the post season and have started things off with a heartbreaking loss. Is more heartbreak in store or can the Jets turn it around? The guys break down all of the first round and make their playoff predictions. Remember that not only ca…

The Winnipeg Jets' last ten games has been a tale of two teams. For the first five, Winnipeg was beating tough opponents like Calgary and Nashville. Over the last five it's been a string of poor performances and late game collapses. The guys look at the reasons for their poor play, potential playoff opponents and #WPGWhiteout parties. In other hock…

Everything is right in "Jetsland". Or at least that's the way it might look on the surface to a casual fan. The Jets have won four in a row and are three points ahead of the Nashville Predators for first in the Central division. Have the last four wins convinced the Jets Nation Podcast that things are headed in the right direction? Matt Hendricks c…

The Winnipeg Jets lost a heart-breaker to San Jose on Tuesday night 5-4. It was a comedy of errors on the final goal, but who is ultimately to blame? In the previous episode defense was the focus, this time the guys up front are put under the microscope. A lot of expectations were placed on the Jets this season. Are they living up to them? All of t…

The push is on for the playoffs and with games tightening up the Winnipeg Jets are fighting for top spot in the Central Division. Their overall play appears to have improved but they've run into elite competition. The Jets are missing some of their top defenders which has made things difficult. It's going to create a logjam of players once everyone…

The Winnipeg Jets were surprisingly the busiest team at the NHL trade deadline. We have never seen this many moves at a trade deadline from Kevin Cheveldayoff. Just because moves were made doesn't mean they were all great. The guys break down the moves from a Winnipeg perspective and some of the major deals around the league. There has been one gam…

It's less than a week until the NHL's trade deadline and the Winnipeg Jets have a number of players, prospects and picks that could fetch a highly valued rental player for the stretch run. How much is too much for a rental player? Is Jack Roslovic on the chopping block? Should the Jets trade away a first round pick? The Jets have been heavily linke…

The Winnipeg Jets have won two games in a row and are tied for first in the Western Conference. Despite the success there are some concerns about the coaching of Paul Maurice. Is he making the right lineup decisions? Are the underlying metrics telling a terrifying tale? The guys look at whether Paul Maurice is a bad coach with good players or a goo…

It's the end of an era. The Jets Nation Podcast is changing. This is the final episode with Cody and Kyle in the same studio. Don't worry, the podcast will continue, Kyle will be brought in over the phone line. The guys look back at the history of the show and the fun they have had over the years. They then get into the last few games for the Jets …

The Winnipeg Jets have coming flying out of the NHL All Star break like a herd of turtles. The team struggled against the Flyers on Monday and then had issues against Boston but were able to pull out a victory. Patrick Laine is in a slump and his ice time has dropped. Are the Jets treating him fairly? What needs to be done? They guys also look at t…

The NHL All-Star weekend is almost here and honestly the game can be a bit of a snooze fest. Some players decline their invitations, and others play half-hearted with little motivation. There have been some positive changes in the last few years but what else can be done? Despite having the best player in the NHL the Edmonton Oilers have been a dis…

At the halfway point of the NHL season the Winnipeg Jets are heating up. As a team they are right where many fans expected them to be. This has been a result of different parts of the lineup exceeding expectations. Laurent Brossoit has arguably been the biggest revelation, and many people have called for more ice time. Is there controversy in the c…

Since the Christmas break the injury bug has bitten the Winnipeg Jets. They have two key players out of the lineup for a considerable amount of time, Dustin Byfuglien and Nikolaj Ehlers. Does Tyler Myers step up and play better with more minutes? Is this an opportunity for Sami Niku? It also gives a number of forwards on the Jets an opportunity to …

Christmas has come and gone and the Winnipeg Jets are back on the ice tonight against the Calgary Flames. Hopefully they didn't eat as much candy as Cody and Kyle and come into the game in decent shape. On this week's episode the guys wrap up some fan questions from twitter, look at the lineup for tonight's tilt, and talk about team Canada's perfor…

The days of actual fan "mail" are long gone. Nowadays it's all about interaction on social media. This week's episode has the guys looking at a variety of topics submitted by fans on Twitter. A big thank-you to everyone who reached out!1. @GrahamSmith15 "what is a great need at the TD: Center or LHD"2. @Jimmy_peg "is Hellebuyck getting blamed for p…

Despite the injuries piling up the Winnipeg Jets are coming off a perfect 3-0 road trip and have won four straight. It's the longest winning streak of the season but some of the wins have come in less than convincing fashion. What has been their secret to success? Are younger players replacing the veterans? With the announcement of a 32nd NHL franc…

The Winnipeg Jets have been hot and cold this season and it's often been said that they aren't playing to their full potential. Patrick Laine finally seems to have broken out of his early season slump but Connor Hellebuyck has regressed to more pedestrian numbers in net. Will this last for both of these players? Does the reassignment of Kristian Ve…

Changes have been made around the NHL and four coaches are now looking for work. The Winnipeg Jets seem to be in a solid place with their coach but there is always room for improvement. Could one of these available coaches help the team? It's been a unique situation with Kristian Vesalainen. He has been called up and then sent back down to the Moos…

I don't know what happened away from the rink in Finland, but whatever it was it seemed to help the Jets. Winnipeg is 3-0 since returning back home including some big performances from their top line of Mark Schiefele, Blake Wheeler, and Nikolaj Ehlers. Patrick Laine hasn't been scoring at even strength, but does it really matter if the team is win…

Is the NHL season still going on? The Winnipeg Jets have had an extended break since coming back from Finland and the guys are getting antsy. Patrick Laine played great in his home country; will this type of play continue when he comes back to North America? The Jets also have the tough decision of what to do with Brendan Lemieux. His hit basically…

The Winnipeg Jets have had the hardest time this season finding a suitable line for their young Finnish sniper. Will the combination of Lowry and Tanev help Laine break out this season? Neither are elite playmakers, but they could potentially make up for Laine's lack of defense. Will the complete forward overhaul help the goal production? The guys …

The Winnipeg Jets are 1-1-1 in their last three games and the offense hasn't been coming as easily as it has in the past. Do they need a change up front? Is a new player coming in on the fourth line really going to make a difference? The Jets now have one less player in the organization with the departure of Marko Dano for nothing. It now makes the…

Three games into the season, the guys break down the action and the potential roster moves.

The NHL season is finally here! It's time to get out our crystal ball and make our predictions for the upcoming season. Will the Winnipeg Jets win the Central Division? Will the Stanley Cup finally be coming North? The guys break down the final roster moves, the schedule for October, and their opponents in the Central on this week's show.(0:42) - R…

We are so close to meaningful hockey we can almost taste it. The NHL preseason is almost over and it has given Jets fans plenty of things to mull over. Should Tyler Myers play on the left side? Can Brendan Lemieux make this team? Is Kristian Vesalainen ready for the NHL? On today's episode the guys look at what they've seen so far, what the numbers…

The leaves are changing colour, the days are getting shorter and the Winnipeg Jets players have returned to our great city; hockey season is almost here! Before everything can begin, we as fans must sit through a few weeks of practice, speculation and exhibition. Some find it painful, others find it exciting because there is finally something happe…

The biggest news in weeks came out Tuesday morning when the Winnipeg Jets announced that they had reached a new 5 year contract extension worth $41.25 million with their captain Blake Wheeler. The contract will make Wheeler the highest paid Jet, and will take him until he is 37. There is obviously some concern when paying a 37 year old player $8.25…

Training camp is finally in sight, and the Winnipeg Jets have been making more offseason moves. They have recently signed another Finnish sniper, Kristian Vesalainen, to a three year entry level deal. Where does he fit in the lineup? Will Josh Morrissey ever get a contract? The guys look at these topics and more on this week's show.(0:37) - Vesalai…

We are halfway through August and it's been a long time since the NHL made any legitimate headlines. The Jets haven't signed any players in a few weeks. So what is left to talk about? Josh Morrissey still needs a contract, prospects Dylan Samberg and David Gustafsson have been playing at the World Junior Summer showcase, and there is always the pos…

Jacob Trouba will go down in history. In a time when very few players ever reach arbitration, he is the first Winnipeg Jets player to go through the process. With the inability to sign a long term contract, what is next for the Jets? Should they trade him? Should they keep him as long as possible? The guys answer these questions along with discussi…
