Also, why is the game scheduled for 9 PM local??? What genius came up with this schedule?So we play the Blues on Monday January 30th and our next game is Saturday Feb 11th (12 f***ing days later). All for some putrid non hockey event because the NHL has no idea what entertainment is. How does zero Jets hockey for 12 days in the coldest part of our winter make any sense from a business perspective??
Brain dead leadership.
I'm glad the Jets had a break that covered that cold snap. It's best that anyone who we are hoping to re-sign wasn't in town for that lolSo we play the Blues on Monday January 30th and our next game is Saturday Feb 11th (12 f***ing days later).

If the nhl abolishes the all star game that'll mean Bettman admits somethings wrong/bad idea. How often does he do that
All big four NA sports leagues have them. It'd be kind of strange if one of them just killed it .

Can’t Edm/Cal/Van cover the late slot?Let the NHL be a leader for a change. Do it post-season if you absolutely must. Does anyone pay any attention to the Pro-Bowl?
HNIC late game. TV more important than local fans.

Yes ppl watch the pro bowl. 6.7 million of them, more than the Stanley Cup in 2022. Also a moneymaking opportunity for the! Nfl, as well as the players once the season is done.
I would be way more likely to go to a draft here than that farce of a hockey game. Only problem is the Jets never get a high pick.The 1.0 Jets were supposed to host the draft before the decision to sell and relocate the team happened. I wonder if True North would ever get that?
So money puck has Carolina at the highest percentage to win the Cup at 12.4% Second is Edmonton at 11.7% then Winnipeg 3rd at 10.2% , i like those odds.

Just wait until the playoffs. Wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the Jets have an 8:30 PM start time to appease the broadcasters of the East, especially if we draw a Mountain time zone team.Obviously understand the need for a 'late game'. There are 32 teams in the league with markets across time zones. It should be easy to have a game scheduled in a Mountain or Pacific time zone to cover late game slots and the time of puck-drop makes sense for the local market. Forcing a 9 pm puck drop on a local market is ridiculous. Would the NHL ever have Toronto, or really any other market to have a game start at 9 pm local?
Didn't the jets play the ducks a couple of years ago around this time and the ducks were coming off a huge break like this? They were so rusty I think the jets smoked them it was like 5-0 before the first period was over.I’m too lazy to look it up, but does any other team have 12 days off for an All Star/ players break? It seems bizarre.
I love the 9pm start time. During the lockout we were scheduled to play the Canucks at 9pm and the game never happened. I hope we see more of these late Saturday night start times at home. I have friends who bought 6 tickets and are driving in from out of town simply because the game starts at 9pm. I know someone else who also bought a pair of tickets because of the late start time. Lots of time for dinner and drinks downtown before the game. I would expect that restaurants, lounges etc… in the downtown area will really benefit from this. As a season ticket holder since day 1 I couldn’t be happier with the 9pm start.Also, why is the game scheduled for 9 PM local??? What genius came up with this schedule?

Dubois will be $9 - $9.5 million minimum easy now with that Horvat signing.
