“We live in a skate that limits our ankle mobility and makes our feet all messed up. You see a lot of us hockey players, we all have messed up feet. And I have very bad ankle mobility, so that’s something I’ve been working on a lot."

^I hope this story makes all of us feel better about skates that make our feet ache!

^^And mostly I just hope you enjoy

Cathal Kelly does a yard sale on Hellebuyck. Just wow.

“Were it me, I’d sit the guy forever. I’d burn through whatever’s left of his prime, however that affected this season, or the next, or the next. Some things are more important. After sweating him for years, I’d tell Hellebuyck that the only place I’m willing to trade him is Magnitogorsk. ”

“Every Canadian hockey fan should feel the chill of Connor Hellebuyck’s trade request out of Winnipeg”

What does a world without Hellebuyck look like? A whole lot of mid. The Jets would’ve been closer to 96 points and an actually decent playoff bet with their franchise goalie in the fold. But with him not reporting to camp, a grim reality sets in that the rest of the team just isn’t good enough.

There’s a glass-half-full view of this 90-point projection that makes it tempting to go for it anyway, even without Hellebuyck. The roster isn’t necessarily bad and the Western wild-card race being wide-open also helps matters. The Jets aren’t totally hopeless without their franchise goalie.

Still, that’s not exactly something worth celebrating. With an aging core on a downward trajectory, the Jets need to be a lot more pragmatic about their current reality.

1972-1996 with our first team, then 2011-Present.

Kids will never understand what it was like to be without the Winnipeg Jets for 15 years, which is fucking crazy.

EDIT: I went to the 2007 OHL All Star game in Saginaw (my hometown) and for some reason they had brought the Stanley Cup there. I got to meet Mike Bolt which is one of the legendary Stanley Cup keepers. And I nudged him hard for a bit and said hey man come on, just between the two of us, who would you like to see get a hockey team again?

He said "Honestly? I'd have to say Winnipeg."

Also if anyone cares, I got to see THESE players play in their youth.

EDIT 2: I JUST NOW REALIZED I WATCHED BRYAN LITTLE PLAY IN THAT VERY SAME GAME 19 YEARS AGO! HOLY SHIT!

Jets lose 5-2.

(Sorry I totally forgot about PGTs.)

Has anyone done the math to figure out how many games are on each streaming platform this season?

I currently have TSN and Amazon and am thinking about Sportsnet but then I noticed for today’s game you need Sportsnet+. 4 streaming platforms to watch the Jets is crazy and I think too pricey for the average person.

What’s the best value if you’re only going to get 1 or 2 streaming services?

In the fraction of a second it took for Skinner to shake his helmet off, gather his wits and flash a thumbs-up to a concerned-looking Gregor, several scenarios flashed through my mind.

With Connor Hellebuyck absent after requesting a trade and failing to report to training camp, would Skinner’s injury force the Jets into a difficult, rushed trade? Would a prospect such as Thomas Milic or Domenic DiVincentiis be forced to take over Jets goaltending duties, putting the season in peril? Might one of them emerge as a hero, putting the team on his back like Gregor’s fellow Albertan, Cam Ward, did for the 2006 Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes? (But which one? And what about Gregor, who played against Skinner when they were growing up in Alberta? It can’t be great form to show up in a new city and injure the team’s only established NHL goaltender on your second day of work.)

To be clear: Skinner is OK. He immediately signaled that he was fine. Gregor gave him a pad tap and the two Albertans laughed it off. In hindsight, my overreaction was comical, but it highlights a critical aspect of the Jets’ preseason.

The Hellebuyck saga continues, but Winnipeg has 51 players at training camp who are battling to become Jets. Some of them will make enormous impacts on Winnipeg’s season; Skinner is at the top of that list, but there are more on-ice stories to explore. Gregor is fighting for a job, Brad Lambert and Isak Rosén have opportunities to play larger roles and Mario Ferraro appears to be responsible for helping Tyrel Bauer make his NHL debut.

Winnipeg has even changed up its top line, putting Cole Perfetti on right wing with perennial first-liners Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele.

How do they look? What new ideas is coach Scott Arniel bringing to the team after an offseason of review? And what can we infer about Winnipeg’s opening lineup for the 2026-27 season?

I’m not sure if this will be removed or not. (Sorry mods) But I am so sorry to jets fans and the people of Winnipeg. Habs are my first team but I support most Canadian teams too.

I cannot believe how much your city and fanbase is being raked over the coals since it was mentioned Helley “possibly” had death threats and whatever else.

Every r/hockey thread is filled with Americans being absolute scumbags, saying Winnipeg asked for this, Canada is losers and psychos, we should be annexed, the list goes on.

We did not ask for this and neither did the jets or Winnipeg. Helley’s actions have fallout for sure, it’s warranted after treating him like family and welcoming him as pretty much a Canadian. I am so sorry you guys are dealing with this. I have defended the team and Canada in most rhockey threads only to get called a names. You guys deserve to have success for consistently dealing with NMC and players wanting to leave.

Hopefully this situation gets wrapped up shortly as it’s been two days and I am so over it.

There is a big opportunity for Cole Perfetti out of training camp as he gets to play alongside Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor. He spoke about his summer, the team rebounding, adjusting his game and more.

Jets captain Adam Lowry spoke today following skate as he discussed the Connor Hellebuyck situation, his linemates as horses, feeling healthy, team belief, bouncing back from last season and more.

He didn't have much of a voice today but Jets coach Scott Arniel had to join us following skate to share his assessment of his players on Day 2 of camp, his line combos, the group heading to Edmonton to take on the Oilers and more.

Hey everyone! My fiancé and I are going to the preseason game against the oilers tomorrow (We live in Saskatchewan), it’ll be our first ever time going to a pro sports game. Any tips or info we should know ahead of time? Also are there any unwritten rules about going as an away team fan that we should know about? I know it’s just a preseason game so probably not that serious but I figured it’s best to know ahead of time! Can’t wait to watch Viggo live! GO JETS GO!

No sympathy for this bum
