Welcome to another one of our Season Previews! This time around, we’ll discuss the Winnipeg Jets. Last season ended shockingly for the Jets after being swept by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the playoffs.
Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl formed the best duo in the NHL during the 2020-21 season. The two have only appeared in three playoff series as members of the Edmonton Oilers, and not until now have they matched up against a Canadian foe in the postseason.
As the Bruins look towards the postseason, Tukka Rask’s regular season performance has made him one of the frontrunners for the Vezina Trophy.
Winnipeg, Manitoba. “The Peg” as it’s commonly referred to, is home to the Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League (CFL), and the one and only Winnipeg Jets. When the Jets relocated from Winnipeg, Manitoba to Atlanta, Georgia in the summer of 1996, one fan held up perhaps one of the most iconic flags in the history of the NHL. The flag proclaimed: “One day our Jets will fly again”. Die-hard hockey fans from around the globe probably shed a tear whenever they hear such sentiments. That sign is just the tip of the iceberg for the passion that runs high in Winnipeg, MB for their beloved Jets.
