Better than saying we are shit , our players are shit, coaching is shit all before we have even played 1 pre-season game.And that's a new song from the Black Crowes so i didn't say that last year.
You're a little touchy there dude. Have a snickers.

Looks like a real skeleton crew. If we expect Lambert to be an option in the top 6 this year he should show well against these guys with his linemates

Oh boy... seems pretty barebones, esp when it comes to the forwards.

Arniel said previously none of the top players were playing this weekend. This is mostly to give the kids a look with the bare minimum of vets you have to dress. I’m guessing the same with Minny so early in camp.
Yup. Looking forward to watching what the kids do. Won't get to watch the replay until later this evening as I'll be out.

It sounds like Arniel wants to use his vets later in preseason, he was talking about guys who want to play the last 3 of 4. 7 games and cuts will start already next week, as some players get sent back to their Junior camps. By the final preseason game in Edmonton should start to see what the team looks like. Right now it's a chance for some prospects to get a look against better calibre players. Chance for some new players to make a first impression.
I'm in Saskatoon today and there are a number of people wearing Winnipeg Jets gear, including myself. I have been getting positive feedback from the locals, so at least they aren't Coilers fans...

Looks like a mostly AHL squad. Wallstedt is probably the player to watch for the Wild.

Not sure what the number of vets(or with NHL experience) need to be dressed but the Wild are stretching it here by the looks of things.
There's a 2nd pairing guy there that seems like he's pretty good. Wonder where the Wild got him from.

In order to start training camp, you have to pass a medical. Part of the medical involved blood tests which revealed the presence of infection. Nothing to do with offseason or ramping up or anything other than a blood test.

Carson Lambos, Winnipeg Ice. 26th overall 2021 draft. Might turn out to be a better pick than Lucius at #18. Chisholm should have something to prove too.Not sure what the number of vets(or with NHL experience) need to be dressed but the Wild are stretching it here by the looks of things.

So he's got a pin in his surgically repaired ankle , correct? Foreign bodies are often "rejected" by the body or in the case of pins, etc, lead to infection. I'm not a Dr. but I play one on the radio. Is this not something that the Jets and Heinola would have been keeping a close eye on in the offseason? Or does the NHLPA have rules in place regarding contact with players during the offseason? Whether Heinola voiced concerns about pain or swelling or what have you, as he may have been unaware an infection was brewing. Heinola just seems completely snake bit and hopefully this does not lead another virtually lost year as that might just spell the end of him as a Jet.
Gives Fleury a chance to show the coaching staff something and I'm thinking this might turn out to be a shrewd under the radar Chevy depth pickup.

Sucks for Heinola but it gives others a chance to show how good they might be also gives them a chance to show how bad they can be.

Hopefully the infection isn't related to his ankle at all, and just a predictable byproduct of killing some time at the Spike after getting into town early
Guess that's why Blue Bomber t-shirts are in the bargain bins at the thrift shops here in Saskatchewan...Throw a Blue Bomber jersey on and wave goodbye to your positive feedback.
