I was wondering why they looked so familiar. Good catch on the Winnipeg Ice. My guess is they would have had to buy the trademark for the logo. If so then they are being really lazy on their design.

Ottawa is the only Canadian team that i have no animosity towards lol
Incorporating the mountain into the yeti head is a really clean design. I like it. Someone on tiktok mentioned that Yeti is missing a prime marketing opportunity by not getting the rink naming rights and calling it "the cooler"
Seems right.
Toronto - 1967. Plus my dad forced me to wear the jersey as a kid. TSN. Fanbase (I'm certain the same is said about us). Planning a parade each September. Or is it August.
Montreal - didn't used to hate them, was more of a Habs fan as a kid than Leafs fan. But the Scheifele hit and the PLD scenario left such a bad taste of just how classless many are.
Calgary - Jamie Macoun - rot in hell.
Edmonton - It was Gretzky's fault (great hockey player, but wasted so many very good Jets teams). Gifted so many #1 picks.
Vancouver - never did like them, going back to the 70s when we had a kid move from Vancouver that was so obnoxious. The riot didn't do anything to help me like them.

Agreed with all...
My hatred for Vacouver stems from the Peca hit on Selanne and the ensuing bloodbath games
He did not. He started on the top unit until his injury, then Peefetti took the spot. Then they got Monohan for the spot.
I would've been even more comfortable with "Lifetime ban, but you can apply to be reinstated in one year if you spend that time getting some help."
I think they've got everyone in their own wheelhouse, including Ehlers (who's previously been a bit miscast). Optimized!
They've activated more scoring options and will go with what's available (last year they seemed to predominantly try to funnel the puck to Connor for a one-timer).
They've improved entries.
They're also riding a tremendous hot streak.
Add it all up and you've got a GOAT powerplay - better than the 70s Habs and 80s Islanders and Oilers when league average SV% was in the .880s and .890s and parity was low.
How many games do they have to play before it is an excellent PP and not a hot streak?

I’m not fat. I’m cultivating mass.
They also treated the Moose like dogshit when it was there farm team. There was a season(cant remember which one) where the Moose were a legit Calder Cup team and Vancouver called up a bunch of the best Moose players near the end of season to sit in the pressbox instead of helping the Moose in the playoffs and they lost to Hershey IIRC.

Maybe Hrabchuk is wrong - Why the Winnipeg Jets Power Play is off to a sizzling hot start in 2024-25 – Illegal Curve Hockey
I only ever remember Ehlers on PP1 except filling in for injuries - even then we used Lowry a fair bit
I don't actually remember Ehlers being injured last season?

It's an excellent powerplay now. To be the GOAT they'll have to keep their current pace up for the rest of the season. They could fall off a bit and still be a Top 10 powerplay of all time, though (current #10 is the 77-78 Rangers at 28.8%).
Best news of the week! We need a gif of MinnesotaMikeRusso's world exploding.
I understand that he's been crap this year -- 17 pts in 48 gp -- but 10 games looks good on him for such a pointless, vicious move off the faceoff to a totally unsuspecting player -- and 10 games now should mean 15 next time, and so on, and so on...
They'll appeal, I guess. But still.

Or 1 PO.
Which is how it's supposed to work. It's a development team winning isn't the goal developing players for the NHL team is. Van wasn't very happy with Chipman he's mentioned it in the past, because they felt he was playing AHL vets over to prospects that's not the farm teams job. Now that he has an NHL team he sees it. It was a few years back he spoke of this.
That's why I was never into the Moose it's a development League.

How does sitting in the pressbox help their development as opposed to playing deep in the playoffs in the AHL? A lot of times you will see NHL teams send down fringe guys to help their farm team in the playoffs if the players arnt needed with the big club. Vancouver did the opposite. It was a douchy move since the players were never going to see ice time and the Moose had a legit chance at the Calder Cup.

The stats guys will determine that. The second they go 0-5 stretch they'll be like "sEe... rEgReSsIoN"

I'm honestly just genuinely amazed The Violent Gentleman even gave him ten at all. There'd have been a revolt if they bought his "uh it was an accident" line.
They remind me a lot about the PWHL logos. Actually think the Montreal and Toronto PWHL logos are actually quite a bit better. The Utah logos are shocking. How did the Outlaws logo make it to the public list? Unbelievable, looks straight out of some stock logo database for custom t-shirts or Create a Team mode in some videogame.
