Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The Winnipeg Jets

The Winnipeg Jets find themselves caught between a few worlds right now. They're looking more like a fringe wild card team, but there's potential for further growth from some of the young guns on the team. A tough test in Dallas will show whether the process is truly improving, or not one to put much faith in. Which Jets players have really risen to the challenge this season? Who does Winnipeg need to see more from if it's to make the playoffs?

The Winnipeg Jets had one of their first real must-win games of the season, and it had little to do with the playoffs. Welcoming the red hot New Jersey Devils to Canada Life Centre, everything was about the post-Hellebuyck trade narratives. The Jets set out to prove that they didn't need their former all-star goalie to put on a show, and they did so with some explosive theatrics. How did Winnipeg's skaters show out against their former teammate's new club? Are the Jets kids starting to elevate this team as much as we've dreamed of? How are the Winnipeg...

The Tampa Bay Lightning are a formidable opponent, even on short rest. The Winnipeg Jets youth didn't care, showing little fear against veteran skill and experience in a thrilling, last-second win. The game wasn't the cleanest, especially towards the end, but Yager's first goal and Viggo's first multipoint game meant far more. How did the Jets as a whole look against Tampa's vaunted offense? Is New Jersey's reasoning for sitting Hellebuyck against Winnipeg truly valid, or is this the coward's way out? Can Morrissey's imminent return be enough to save Winnipeg's playoff ambitions?

Beating the Vancouver Canucks may not be the sexiest claim to the fame, but the Winnipeg Jets won't care. A second straight win and Viggo Björck's first NHL point are more than satisfying enough to claim in the meantime. The Jets also welcomed Brayden Yager back into the line-up for a new look top-9. Is this forward grouping deep enough to actually do damage against competitors? Will the Jets be able to put together a much stronger showing against Tampa Bay? What will Winnipeg's ultimate destiny in this season's Central Division be?

Winnipeg's last game was nothing short of a miracle. An even bigger miracle is required for the Jets to pull themselves into the playoff race, early as it may be. Can Winnipeg parlay the energy of the last victory into tonight's match-up with Vancouver? What would a second straight win do for the ailing squad morale? What internal solutions, exactly, could Cheveldayoff be referring to? Will Winnipeg be adequately prepared to face Hellebuyck early next week?

If you turned the game off in the final minutes of the Winnipeg Jets vs. Montreal Canadiens rematch, you missed a firecracker of a game. After 57 minutes of futility against the talented Jacob Fowler, Tyrel Bauer took the game in his hands and took over. The Jets then scored 4 unanswered goals in less than 180 seconds to tie the game at 4-4 before finishing things in overtime. The losing streak is finally over, and the Winnipeg Jets make history. Will it change the course of the season? What do we make of Lambert being waived before the game? Who are...

The road trip from the underworld is coming to a close for the Winnipeg Jets and the team is desperate for any sign of life. Is the Jets front office remotely aware of how bad things are starting to get? Do they understand the direction everything is pushing towards? Why do they believe things will magically resolve themselves over time? Will a rematch against Montreal cures what ails the Jets, or is the damage too far gone already?

The Winnipeg Jets have lost 9 straight games, and despite a lack of noise around the team, there's a growing sense that head coach Scott Arniel is going to be let go soon. Could it happen when the team finishes this road trip towards the end of the week? Why would firing Arniel send a terrible message to the team, and who is truly responsible for Winnipeg's failures? How can a truly competitive team allow itself to be free from accountability while those with minimal control are made to walk the plank? Will this November's schedule end Winnipeg's playoff aspirations...

Things just aren't getting better for the Winnipeg Jets, and an eighth straight loss has the team BELOW the Calgary Flames in the standings. Did the Jets even show up against the Florida Panthers, or is the toll of this losing streak starting to become evident? Will Scott Arniel be replaced as head coach by the time the team returns home next week? Who should be shouldering the blame for why this team is on course for a lottery pick? Will the Jets muster any offense against the Hurricanes on Sunday, or will this be loss number 9?

...

Things have been getting desperate in Winnipeg, and the Jets have avoided hitting the nuclear option for weeks. With a 7-game losing streak potentially in play, Arniel finally decided enough was enough, and split the top line apart. Did his gamble pay off, or did Winnipeg still look much the same as it did in previous outings? Should Arniel continue with his line changes, or were his original options better? Can Winnipeg recover quickly enough to stem the bleeding against the Florida Panthers?

Few NHL teams have feared change the way the Winnipeg Jets have. Big shake-ups and alterations are a rarity, especially proactive changes, and the Jets have committed to keeping a level of consistency like few others. When that consistency continually breeds bad results, what can a team like Winnipeg do to alter course? What opportunity is available to reshape the direction of the once and future Jets? Is this going to require a hard conversation around Viggo Bjorck? Should Arniel be taking the blame for this team's failures? Where does the problem truly begin?

The Winnipeg Jets needed to have a big response game on the same night Hellebuyck got his first start as a Devil. Instead, the Jets dropped a massive turd at home, extending their winless streak to 6 games. What went wrong against a Florida Panthers team missing it's top centre? Were there any signs of life from this Jets team? Who's to blame for the team's struggles? Where is the leadership this squad needs to rise above the circumstances?

Well, the Winnipeg Jets have finally traded Connor Hellebuyck. The return was, to put it honestly, underwhelming. What did the New Jersey Devils send to the Jets, and why should we be somewhat unimpressed with the return? Did Winnipeg really get the return that should have been expected from the start, or did the Jets back themselves into a losing corner? What lies ahead for a team that really didn't get dramatically better roster-wise? Will we see Mercer lace-up this coming weekend for the Heritage Classic?

The Winnipeg Jets top line has been a subject of controversy for years. Despite continued goal production, many have expressed skepticism about how the line has actually played.

How did the problems manifest against a pesky Ducks team? Were the Jets truly as bad as the scoreline suggests, or was it a game of a few big mistakes?

This past summer was a tumultuous one for the Winnipeg Jets. The Hellebuyck drama was overwhelming and overbearing, and a lot of fans felt jaded by his decisions.

After a great preseason and camp, one would think Brayden Yager has made the Winnipeg Jets to start the year. Some troubling line-up choices have cast that in doubt. The decision isn't final, but there are signs that Winnipeg is prepared to send the burgeoning talent back to the Moose. Why is this the wrong choice to make?
