Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The Winnipeg Jets

The Winnipeg Jets fell to the Colorado Avalanche in Friday night hockey. A lot of us expected the Jets to get curbstomped by the best team in the league. The actual game wasn't nearly as one-sided as expected, but a quiet performance from MacKinnon still didn't stop the Avs from taking both points. Is this yet another reminder that the Jets still aren't in the same tier of contender? Have we avoid...

The Winnipeg Jets are likely preparing themselves to get ripped a new one by the Colorado Avalanche tonight, and amidst all of this, are apparently looking to acquire Mason Marchment. Why on earth are the Jets thinking about buying an expiring free agent? Is this Jets front office living in the same universe we are? How is this the solution Winnipeg has come up with after watching this team strugg...

Things are going from bad to worse for the Winnipeg Jets. A shutout loss to the St. Louis Blues has pushed the Jets into an even deeper hole, 5 points shy of a playoff spot and no external help in sight. Where is Winnipeg continuing to go wrong? Why are they so stubborn in their current gameplan, and will they ever adjust course? How deep is the problem with this team? Can Hellebuyck actually carr...

The Winnipeg Jets followed up a dominant win against the Washington Capitals with a far-less impressive defeat against the Ottawa Senators. With only a point claimed despite leading for much of the game, can the Jets really call this a success? How many more points can the team afford to let slip away before they lose out on the playoffs? Can Winnipeg recover before an important match-up against t...

On tonight's podcast, we welcome Prime Monday Night's between the benches analyst Thomas Hickey to chat about the Winnipeg Jets season thus far. What has held this Jets team back from greatness? Should Winnipeg split the top line if the scoring dries up, or is it only a temporary patch for what the team needs? What can we expect in the game against the Ottawa Senators later this evening? We also c...

The Winnipeg Jets season is spiraling out of control, and even the prospect of Hellebuyck's imminent return feels dim at best. What went wrong against the Boston Bruins? Is this trend of defeats likely to change when Helly's back in net, or is this team beyond redemption? How will the Jets prepare for an even tougher battle against the Washington Capitals? Is Arniel finally losing his last bit of...

The news that Hellebuyck is nearing his return to the line-up is both soothing and concerning. Are the Winnipeg Jets rushing him back too quickly? What will his impact be on the present and the rest of the season? Is this truly worth pursuing right now, especially with the offense continuing to struggle? How will the Jets prepare ahead of a tough match-up with the Boston Bruins? Can they build on...

The Winnipeg Jets welcomed the Dallas Stars back to Winnipeg ice for the first time since a humbling defeat at the start of the season. How did Winnipeg respond in this rematch? Were the Jets able to play a stronger game, or was this loss much like the first outing? What can Winnipeg build on from the defeat? Why are the Jets so against calling up and using David Gustafsson? Everydayer Club   If y...

Well, as the saying goes, things probably can't get much worse for the Winnipeg Jets, right? A Tuesday night game against the Dallas Stars begins a stretch that just might prove the opposite. The remainder of December is something of a playoff gauntlet, and little in Winnipeg's recent play would indicate the team is prepared to face it. Who could the Jets filch points off of? Are there any real pr...

The Winnipeg Jets split the weekend slate of games against the Buffalo Sabres and Edmonton Oilers. After all was said and done, all we could feel as fans was...apathy. This season is spiraling out of control and the temporary reprieve of a win against a bottom-feeder hasn't stopped the absolute drubbings that follow. Is it time for Winnipeg to give up and give in to the tank? Why should they start...

The Winnipeg Jets have been begging for someone, anyone, to score goals that isn't on the top line. At long last, the Jets got exactly against the Buffalo Sabres. While the game wasn't exactly a Picasso defensively, Winnipeg received some much needed scoring support from the fourth line to seal 2 points in the books. Who led the way offensively for the Jets? Will Winnipeg make any alterations to t...

The Winnipeg Jets have been down in the dumps lately. There's a chance to turn things around against the Buffalo Sabres on Friday, but even a win will likely feel somewhat hollow. What should Jets fans be rooting for at this point? Do we want a Winnipeg playoff appearance, or would it be better to start sliding back towards a top-10 pick? What is Winnipeg's best outcome for the season, and how can...

Another week of Jets hockey, another pair of defeats to match. Losses against Buffalo and Montreal have left Winnipeg behind in the Wild Card race. The loss to the Sabres highlighted everything wrong with this team. The shootout defeat in Montreal wasn't much better. Is this season over already, or is there still time for Winnipeg to salvage things? Why are the Jets so stubborn and steadfast in th...

The Winnipeg Jets might just be bad, and a recent interview from the Free Press with Kevin Cheveldayoff seems to indicate the front office didn't expect this. Are the Jets truly surprised here, or were they simply expecting the team to adjust and perform? What can Winnipeg even do to survive this stretch, and are the playoffs even realistic? How will the Jets prepare for a fast Habs team that has...

It's tough to describe the recent run of Winnipeg Jets hockey as anything other than uninspiring. The team looks relatively listless and outmatched against top teams, and even the bottom-feeders have made them sweat. Despite a bad loss against the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday, Winnipeg managed to salvage the weekend with a win against Nashville. Is it worth celebrating, or something of a hollow v...

The Winnipeg Jets are in search of a pulse. After a handful of losses that ran the gamut in quality, Winnipeg just needs to find a way to secure a point or two. Will they find it against the Carolina Hurricanes, who defeated them last week? What changes might Arniel put together to try and get this team's scoring going again? How are the Swedish prospects faring? And on the North American side, ha...

The Winnipeg Jets season is starting to teeter into uncomfortable territory. While things are far from settled right now, the Jets can scarcely afford to drop many more points. Will Cheveldayoff take the reins and turn this team around before Hellebuyck returns? What can Winnipeg realistically do to try and give this squad a spark? Have the Moose finally turned a corner, and should we be pleased w...

Another day, another loss for the Winnipeg Jets. What went wrong in Washington against a Caps team that sported a similar record coming into the evening? How did Salomonsson do in his first NHL game?

Is it wort...

Like a bunch of hounds baying for blood, we've been looking for a much-needed spark on this Winnipeg Jets team. Under the hood, there's plenty that appears to be shaping up, but the team itself needs some sort of moment of brightness amidst the injury crisis. Earlier today, Winnipeg offered that lighthouse moment, with Elias Salomonsson officially recalled to the big club. Where will he play in th...

The Winnipeg Jets have been shutout again, and the frustration for the team is palpable. After 9 straight wins against the Minnesota Wild, a loss was overdue, but the timing is especially complicated. The rest of the league isn't ceding playoff ground, and the Jets need answers before they give too deep a hole. What can Winnipeg do to try and gain more finishing ability without resorting to trades...

The news that Connor Hellebuyck is getting surgery hit like a bit of a freight train. The Winnipeg Jets had to dust themselves off and get back to work, because the Cup-contending Carolina Hurricanes were in town. The Jets may not have emerged the victors in this outing, but the effort was commendable. How did Comrie fare in his first major start as the full time number 1? What will Winnipeg need...

In disappointing but unsurprising news, Brad Lambert has requested a trade from the Winnipeg Jets. The team has agreed to allow him to work with external groups to facilitate the deal. Is it time for Chevy to once again work his trading wizardry? Will this trade finally force the Jets to get aggressive and find help for this core? What might a return look like? Should we be concerned about the num...

Will Nik Ehlers receive a warm welcome or a frosty reception in h...

After a nightmarish trip through the Pacific Division, home ice felt like a glorious panacea for the Winnipeg Jets. They welcomed a tired Columbus Blue Jackets team into Canada Life Centre, and promptly beat the snot out of the Jackets for 60 minutes. Who led the way for a Jets team needing a spark? Is Lowry finally back to his elite 2-way self, and could he be the second line centre the Jets have...

The vibes around the Winnipeg Jets haven't been great lately. The team has scuffled along after a hot start at home. What's led to the recent downturn in form, and is the win in Calgary a sign that the slide is over, or a temporary reprieve? What's wrong with the current arrangement of talent in Winnipeg? Is there any way for the Jets to resolve their issues, or is it better to ride the season out...
