We need Lowery and some bigger bodies back next time we play the Caps

Jets will be flying out of Dulles anyways

There's four planes, with transponders on, total at both airports. Quiet night.

I pray that there's enough air traffic controllers at the airport.

Dulles and Reagan aren't short staffed

DC airspace is the most complex in the country. Three major airports, multiple military airfields and no flys around the capitol and White House

To work there as an air traffic controller, you need to have an immense amount of experience

I walked the National Mall and it was wild watching the military helicopters coming and going. I've flown the precise path that CRJ was on three times coming into Reagan. I could recognize landmarks in the background (National Harbor, Maryland). Crazy tragedy. Busy, busy airspace.

Enjoyed the game though a clenchful third period. That felt like playoff hockey and the Jets responded nicely.

Tomorrow is promised to nobody.

What is yet to come doesn't matter, so don't concern yourself with how the story ends. Let go of the worry. Unburden yourself from the rational. Embrace the journey. Now is the time to dream.

It's up to you to cherish this moment in time. To give it the meaning it deserves. However we may be judged by our peers matters less than this joy we feel, this passion. What we know in our hearts to be true.

This is the best Winnipeg Jets hockey team to ever play in the NHL.

Silverware doesn't change that fact.

So, never forget this day. The 1st of February, 2025. We flew above the clouds while the rest could only look skyward.

Thanks Conan

So does Heinola come in for miller for 2?

 

[johnnyonthspot]

Average is kind. He was bad. He's the best goalie in the league but today was an off night.

Is it fair to say he was playoff Helle?

 

[Shlep]

Apart from the bad short side goal, I didn't think Hellebuyck had a bad night at all.

 

[Finnflash]

Is it me or do the guys seem to celebrate a little more cocky this year

 

[10Ducky10]

Is it fair to say he was playoff Helle?

If Helle is the best in the league right now, Thompson is 2nd best.
How was his night?
Also, if this was a playoff game, Helle gets the W.

Each team controlled parts of the game and the Caps seemed to get stronger (and/or the Jets weren't playing as smart as earlier in the game) as the game went on.
Fun game to watch and I like the 6pm starts.

 

[Buffdog]

Is it me or do the guys seem to celebrate a little more cocky this year

If so...

Then the rest of the team found a way to pick him up and win the game.

He's stolen wins for them plenty of times... great to see the boys do the same for him

I’d take a confident team anytime. As long as they don’t abandon or waiver from their structure, I am all for it.

This 4 Nations break might come at the worst time for the Jets especially if they win the 2 home games before the league shuts down.

When you gotta go you gotta go

 

[The Blue Baron]

Jets deserved it!

JoMo you’re my hero!

4 out of 5 John Wicks

1 place comfortably

Onwards and Truly Upwards we go….

 

[roccerfeller]

Just wait until we win the cup and they will break away to Leafs news prior to awarding the cup, and then before we get to the 5 or 6th player handoff they will break to a Leafs season in review special and how they are favourites for next season.

If the Jets win the cup they’ll break away to the leafs winning the cup in 1867 or whenever that last win was

 

[Do or Die]

7 points in last 5 games for Perfetti....
Encouraging.

 

[CorgisPer60]

I missed the entire game because I was at a friend's house. It looks like it was a good game to watch.

 

[LucianoBorsato]

The mighty Winnipeg Jets take the fight to Washington and win one for Canada. Feels good. True North strong and free.

Maybe he shit himself

I think the thing that surprised me the most is that goon hockey was at a minimum in both Boston and Washington because a) the PP b) hard to be aggressive when you are chasing the play, trying to catch your breath.

No........that would be ideal!

 

[More Cooley]

What a beautiful play on that OT goal
