Jets Notebook: Scheifele's status will define Game 7

1 week ago | sportsnet.ca | Jacob Stoller

WINNIPEG — You won’t be able to give a gut-feel prediction on this Game 7 until right before puck drop. When we find out if Mark Scheifele is playing. The Winnipeg Jets' No. 1 centre — who has been sidelined since the first intermission of Game 5 with an undisclosed injury — skated at Canada Life Centre in a tracksuit on Saturday afternoon. “Obviously, a great sign,” Jets coach Scott Arniel said during Saturday afternoon's media availability. “Feels a lot better today than he did yesterday.

Winnipeg Jets coach Scott Arniel didn’t want to talk about his opponent. When a question was prefaced with, “the Blues were talking about,” Arniel snapped. "I don't care what the Blues talk about,” he told reporters after his team lost 5-2 to the St. Louis Blues, forcing a Game 7. “This is the Winnipeg Jets. We have a style of play that we have to play. We got to it for about 30 minutes and we dropped off big time."Winnipeg surrendered four unanswered goals in just short of five and a half minutes.

WINNIPEG — The "here we go again" folks can take a seat for now. Despite the series being tied 2-2, the Winnipeg Jets were on their heels heading into Game 5 after laying two eggs in St. Louis. Connor Hellebuyck had been shaky. The power play had lost its lustre. Secondary scoring was non-existent. But as we’ve come to learn this season, these Jets aren’t like years past. And Wednesday’s 5-3 win over the Blues was a perfect example of just that.

WINNIPEG — Hockey folk often compare a playoff series to a chess match. Teams, like chess players, test out what they can and can’t do against the opponent. The playoffs are all about making adjustments based on how your opponent reacts. Coaches become grandmasters, matching lines up like a chess player places a knight to control the most dangerous squares.

How did things go so wrong, so fast? The Winnipeg Jets had put forth a strong first 20 minutes, as good as you could ask for from a road team, and entered the second period deadlocked 1-1. By the midway point of the third period, Winnipeg trailed 5-1 and St. Louis Blues fans chanted “We Want Connor” as Eric Comrie tended the net in relief for a second straight game.

You could’ve turned your TV off after the first period. “We lost the game in the first period. They scored two goals in the first three minutes, got on our heels, crowd got behind them,” Scott Arniel told reporters after the Winnipeg Jets lost 7-2 to the St. Louis Blues in Game 3. “We were terrible in the first period. Game was over in the first."Terrible might be even putting it mildly. In the first five minutes and change, St. Louis had a 2-0 lead and Winnipeg hadn’t even recorded a shot.
Jets Notebook: Connor Hellebuyck changing games with key saves

WINNIPEG — Disregard his .897 save percentage through these first two playoff games — Connor Hellebuyck is hardly underperforming. The netminder showered with “M—V—P” chants in the regular season has come up clutch in the Winnipeg Jets' first-round series against the St. Louis Blues. In a tight series like this, judging a goaltender solely by save percentage is misleading.
Jets check every box in Game 2 masterclass against Blues

WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Jets always say they try to win games 2-1. They just did that on Monday, exhibiting a masterclass performance that epitomized ‘Winnipeg Jet hockey’ en route to taking a 2-0 lead in their first-round series against the St. Louis Blues. ‘Winnipeg Jet’ hockey boils down to four things, which are painted on their dressing room wall: Structure Embrace hard areas Win 50/50 battles 10 per cent more They ticked each box in Game 2.
A Better Alternative to Siloed ESG

Years ago, I attended a small sustainability conference. Most of the exhibitors were large corporations and industry associations that extolled their environmental initiatives in speeches and panel discussions, and in graphically pleasing brochures and slide presentations. The company that stood out, however, was a small furniture manufacturer that was applying lean principles. The slides were very plain, but unlike the others, they had real numbers.
Connor, Scheifele shine bright as Jets take Game 1 vs. Blues

WINNIPEG — The word clutch is thrown around a lot this time of year. Hockey is a game of inches and in the playoffs those margins narrow. Teams need their best players to deliver when their backs are against the wall. In Game 1 of the Winnipeg Jets’ first-round series against the St. Louis Blues — a 5-3 win — Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor did just that. “Tonight was a perfect example of our stars being our stars,” Adam Lowry said.
