The Winnipeg Jets Are Struggling Mightily In Ve...
On tonight's episode, we get a bit feisty as we walk through the first period or so of action between Winnipeg and Vegas. Why did the Jets come out of the gates looking so listless? Is it just the nature of playing in the Sin City, or was Vegas legitimately outclassing the Jets? When will the special teams finally go back to being average? Can Winnipeg survive with both the power play and penalty kill contributing nothing to the team? How can the Jets change the tides and drive momentum in the right direction? Is it time for the depth lines to start getting more ice-time?

The Winnipeg Jets Fall To Montreal In A Shootou...
On tonight's episode, we recap an entertaining night of Jets hockey, where Winnipeg sadly didn't come away with the win, but certainly deserved it. Were the Jets legitimately the stronger of the two teams? How did the Habs survive the onslaught of Winnipeg pressure? Can the Jets sustain the current level of success? Is the recent run of form (7 of 8 possible points) a better indicator of the true talent of the team than the 1-3 start? What's going on with Ehlers, and can he recover his form before the Jets are forced to make a move? What should we expect from the Rangers when they roll into town on Monday?

The Biggest Surprises (And Disappointments) Of ...

What have been the biggest surprises and disappointments through the first few games? Are the former LA boys doing well, or is the Dubois trade aging poorly?

The Big Question Of The Week...Are The 2023-24 ...
On tonight's episode, we walk through a complicated question; is this year's Jets team good or bad? With a 1-3 record, the answer might seem simple, but we have a different interpretation. Is the record an accurate reflection of the team's strengths and weaknesses, or is it still too early to read into the results? What has the team done well, and what has it done poorly? Should we expect the issues to iron themselves out? How did the Jets perform against an undefeated Vegas squad? Should the team take heart from the performance, or be concerned about the final scoreline? Why has the penalty kill taken such a drastic turn for the worse?

Is Vilardi going to miss significant time? If so, who should be asked to step up in his place? Why did it have to be Dubois to open LA's scoring?
