JETS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Gary Lawless: Alex Burmistrov wants out of Winnipeg
Another Jet rumored to want out.
Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press is reporting that Alex Burmistrov wants out of Winnipeg, and will not sign a contract extension this summer. Lawless noted that Burmistrov, an RFA this summer, “wished to be traded at the deadline” and has “no intention of re-signing with the Jets.” Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff was rumored to attempt...
The Aftermath of Another Lost Season
It's been awhile since the Winnipeg Jets hit the ice and then quickly cleaned out their lockers at the end of their second season in Winnipeg.
It also seemed like a long time before the playoffs started after that last loss to the Montreal Canadiens in late April.
And it seems like even a longer time until the Jets will once again hit the ice.
So cruel - not to have...
Peter Tessier: Jets Prospects Starting to Impress More than Winnipeggers
I've got playoff thoughts too if you want to follow me on Twitter HERE
If there is any good news for the Winnipeg Jets and their playoff starved fans itâs coming from the CHL. Not just Mark Scheifele in the OHL with the Barrie Colts but also from Adam Lowry of the Swift Current Broncos who was named the WHL player of the year last year.
Starting with Lowry, who was...
Enough Of Good Byfuglien Bad Byfuglien
from Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press,
The Winnipeg Jets cannot and will not move forward as a team with Byfuglien as he is currently constructed. He is a foundation piece and his half-the-time good and half-the-time bad output leaves the team with unsure footing.
The guessing and hoping has to end. It has to be now or never, where Byfuglien is concerned. He's...
Rangers Need Two Points, Jets Loss or Senators Collapse to Clinch Playoff Spot
Despite the Rangers excruciating loss to the Panthers last night, they actually received some good news in their hunt for a playoff spot as the ninth place Winnipeg Jets lost to the Washington Capitals, meaning the Blueshirts magic number is now two.
If the Rangers can gain just two measly points in their final two games (@Carolina on Thursday, vs. the Devils at MSG on Saturday...
Jets edge Sabres to stay in hunt
Antti Miettinen scored with 7:36 left to keep the surging Winnipeg Jets in the playoff race with a 2-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night.
Ondrej Pavelec stopped 24 shots, including a huge glove save on Thomas Vanek with 5:45 left to preserve the victory. Winnipeg (24-19-3) improved 6-0-1 in its past seven and moved within a point of the idle New York Rangers, who hold...

Zach Redmond Shows Off Gruesome Scar After Skate Split His Leg Wide Open (Photo)
Scars are just as much a part of hockey as pucks, pads and swear words.

YIKES
Zach Redmond reveals scar from horrific injury
Cited by doctors as a “miracle” recovery, Winnipeg Jets forward Zach Redmond was back on the ice skating on Friday morning, only a little more than a month after suffering a lacerated femoral artery after a teammate’s skate gashed his upper leg.

Winnipeg’s Defenseman Zach Redmond Shows Off What a Slashed Femoral Artery Scar Looks Like
Winnipeg Jets defender Zach Redmond is lucky to be alive following having his femoral artery slashed by a skate just over six weeks ago, and even more incredible is that he returned to the ice today. As a reminder of what happened, Zach has a nice little scar which you can check out below.
Docs for #nhljets expect Zach Redmond to make full recovery and be in training camp, if not...
Evander Kane Tosses Alexei Emelin’s Helmet During Fight in Jets-Canadiens Game (Video)
Alexei Emelin needs to use better judgement when picking his battles.
The Canadiens defenseman, who was pummeled by Zdeno Chara in a game against the Bruins back on March 3, antagonized Winnipeg’s Evander Kane into a fight Thursday night. Kane didn’t take kindly to the instigating, and he proceeded to rip Emelin’s helmet off, toss it violently to the ice and land several hard...
DON'T NEED THAT
Evander Kane chucks foe's helmet during fight
Fighting Evander Kane isn't usually something people enter into lightly, at least not after his one and done knockout of Matt Cooke a couple years ago. He's not only one of the best forwards in the league (and probably the best player on the Winnipeg Jets), he's also got a little temper on him. Alexei Emelin learned the hard way that chirping and antagonizing Kane usually...

SCARY, SCARY STUFF

Jets defenseman Zach Redmond had to undergo three hours of surgery after his right femoral artery and a vein were lacerated by a skate during a practice drill.
Tobias Enstrom Injury Will Be Tough Blow to Winnipeg’s Offensive Attack (Video)
For a team like the Winnipeg Jets that is already fighting to remain in the playoff picture, keeping your best players healthy and on the ice is a top priority.
Unfortunately for the Jets, who are tied with Washington for last place in the Southeast Division, they will be without defenseman Tobias Enstrom when they host the Bruins on Sunday. Enstrom left Saturday’s loss to Pittsburgh...
