Vegas Beats Winnipeg with Stick Jets Livid Goal Wasn't Overturned After Hellebuyck Slashed in Head Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/vegas-downs-jets-3-2-to-remain-on-top-of-western- conference-472272033.html Vegas beats Winnipeg with stick Jets livid goal wasn't overturned after Hellebuyck slashed in head By: Mike McIntyre A heavyweight battle of the Western Conference’s top-two teams delivered in spades Thursday night. And while the Vegas Golden Knights skated away with a 3-2 overtime victory over the Winnipeg Jets, it was a controversial call earlier in the game — and Winnipeg’s reaction to it — that will surely reverberate all the way to the NHL’s head office. We take you back to late in second period, with the teams locked in a 1-1 tie and Vegas on the power play. Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck couldn’t quite squeeze a shot from the blue-line, and the puck sat loose behind him just inches from the goal-line. Vegas forward James Neal, apparently trying to cash in, took a wild swing with his stick that caught Hellebuyck flush in the head. Neal’s twig broke in half, the blade spinning towards the corner boards as the proverbial smoking gun. Only there was no penalty call on the play and no whistle. Erik Haula then pounced on the loose puck, knocking it home for the go-ahead tally. Winnipeg protested, and the two referees huddled with the linesman for a few seconds before ruling it a goal. Jets head coach Paul Maurice challenged for goaltender interference. Following a lengthy review, referee Ghislain Hebert ruled the original call stood — even though it was clear as day Neal slashed Hellebuyck in the face with great force. Maurice was livid on the bench, and more than 15,000 amateur officials at Bell MTS Place voiced their disgust. Obviously, missed penalties can’t be reviewed or overturned. And the NHL clearly felt the infraction wasn’t enough to prevent Hellebuyck from playing the puck that was already in behind him. "The explanation was that the puck was behind the goalie, which gives their player the right to break his stick over (Hellebuyck’s) head. There’s been an outcry with the league to get this right. We were told before the game that it was going to be a little bit cleaner, they were going to be looking for goalie interference. It’s the first time I’ve seen a guy break a stick over a goalie’s head," said an irate captain Blake Wheeler, who was only getting started. "Come on, (he) f——-g breaks a stick over his head. That’s not a goal. I don’t care where the puck is," said Wheeler. "Right before we went over there, I was told that if Connor’s in the crease and he makes contact with him with his stick, it’s no goal. So, I came back to the bench pretty confident that it was going to be no goal. If anything, we should have been on a five- minute power play or something." Hellebuyck couldn’t believe it, saying he was "dazed" at being hit in the head. "I think it’s a terrible call. You would think the video replay is there for that reason. I don’t even think their team wanted that goal, obviously they’re going to take it. That’s just dirty," said Hellebuyck. "I can take a stick to the face. But just because I don’t throw my head back and make it obvious, I feel like I got kind of screwed on this. Maybe I should start diving a little bit, that’s just ridiculous." Over to Maurice, who said teams just got a memo the other day that the NHL would start loosening up the way they called goaltender interference following too many disallowed goals. "I don’t know how there would be an event that would be more egregious with goaltender interference, just beyond the spirit of the rule," said Maurice. "The idea that a guy could clean a goalie out would be goalie interference, but a two-hand to the head wouldn’t. What are we going to do with our goalies now. The puck’s loose in the crease, so swing away?" Maurice said the interpretation in Thursday’s game can’t be what the NHL is wanting. "We can’t have people swinging at our goalies’ heads. You can’t allow that to creep into the game," he said. Kyle Connor scored with 2:36 left in the third period to tie it and at least salvage a point for the Jets, who are 30-13-9 and remain on top of the Central Division. David Perron delivered the dagger with just over a minute left in overtime, beating Hellebuyck with a wrister. Vegas improves to 34-12-4 and remains on top of the Pacific Division. Winnipeg had taken a 1-0 lead late in the first period following some good work by the fourth line. Connor dumped the puck in, and goalie Marc-Andre Fleury tried to play it behind his net. Matt Hendricks beat him to it, and passed it in front to linemate Joel Armia, who swept it into the empty net. Vegas tied it midway through the second period with the Jets on a power play. Wheeler was the lone man back, and he was muscled off the puck and sent flying by Reilly Smith. The speedy Vegas forward then skated in all alone and roofed a shot over Hellebuyck. Winnipeg’s power play, which came into the game ranked No. 2 in the NHL and No. 1 at home, was a mess not only on that play, but also on the night as they went 0-for-3. This game was much more of a playoff-style grinder, not the freewheeling track meet that saw the teams trading chances and goals in their previous two meetings this season. Vegas won the first one 5-2, and Winnipeg took the next one 7-4. In fact, the Jets mustered just four shots in the third period. Fortunately for them, the last one was off Connor’s stick and into the net. The rookie has 17 goals this season and has scored in two straight games. The overtime was a different story, with both teams trading numerous chances. The Jets did everything but score on two occasions — the puck was lying in the crease with bodies flying everywhere and Haula appeared to make a brilliant save with his backside — and then Hellebuyck stopped Nate Schmidt on a breakaway before Perron ended it. Winnipeg returns to action Saturday night when they host the Colorado Avalanche in the third game of their season-long 10-game homestand. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/forget-vegas-flu----nhl-teams-sick-of-playing-here- 472281563.html Forget Vegas flu -- NHL teams sick of playing here By: Paul Wiecek In an effort to explain the inexplicable — how a bunch of hockey castoffs came to be the most successful first-year expansion team in North American pro sports history — there has been much discussion recently about a phenomenon known as ‘Vegas Flu.’ Basically, the idea is that NHL teams travelling to Las Vegas to play the Western Conference- leading Golden Knights are getting caught up in the glitz, glamour and temptations of the Vegas Strip and forgetting that they are, after all, supposed to be on a business trip. The result of this uniquely Vegas affliction? A Golden Knights team with the best home record in the NHL, an eye-popping 19-3-2 in their inaugural season at T-Mobile Arena. Asked about the phenomenon during all-star weekend, Washington Capitals sniper Alex Ovechkin got excited about how exciting it is to play in Vegas. "I think it’s the atmosphere over there," Ovechkin said. "It’s not a regular rink. It’s kind of like an unbelievable show, you get excited. It’s like you in a nightclub. It’s like a party. Everybody dancing over there. It’s like, ‘Holy Jesus, are we in a hockey game or is this like a pool party out there?’" So if Vegas flu is the reason the Golden Knights have the best home record in the NHL, is a variation known as ‘Winnipeg flu’ the reason the Jets have the second-best winning percentage at home at 18-3-2? If so, what would a Winnipeg flu that didn’t include patients lining the hallways of Health Sciences Centre even look like? Let’s face it: Portage and Main is not exactly the Vegas Strip and this city’s light show begins two weeks before Christmas and ends two days afterward. Looking for a rush in Winnipeg? There’s a couple of tacky casinos but if you really want to gamble, your best bet is to leave a couple of loonies visible in your change tray and then park your car downtown. We are not overwhelming visiting hockey teams with our delightful regional theatre scene is what I’m saying. And yet, a 3-2 overtime loss to the visiting Knights at Bell MTS Place Thursday night was just the second loss at home for the Jets in the last 16 games — and even that took the divine intervention of a referee who did not judge the attempted decapitation of Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck to constitute goaltender interference on Vegas’ go-ahead goal in the second period. To be fair, it wasn’t goaltender interference so much as it was aggravated assault. But the final result was the same — a rare loss for the Jets at home, made all the more rare by the fact it came in a game in which the Jets had scored first.

  • Maurice Wants Production from Third, Fourth Lines with Nine Players in the Mix, Bottom Six Looks Crowded
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/maurice-wants-production-from-third- fourth-lines-452913503.html Maurice wants production from third, fourth lines With nine players in the mix, bottom six looks crowded By: Mike McIntyre It’s getting awfully crowded at the bottom for the Winnipeg Jets. But the team’s growing list of depth players — believed to be a strength headed into this season — have provided next to nothing when it comes to offence. That’s creating a frustrating situation for head coach Paul Maurice as he tries to figure out his lineup card these days, especially with a pair of injured forwards set to return and further cloud the situation. Consider this: the Jets' third and fourth lines have yet to score a goal in five-on-five play through seven games this year, in which they've managed to go 4-3-0. Brandon Tanev and Joel Armia each have a short-handed tally, while Andrew Copp assisted on a shorty scored by defenceman Tyler Myers. As for the rest of the lot, Shawn Matthias has no points through seven games despite ample chances. Nic Petan has been blanked in his six games, which has included plenty of power-play time. Marko Dano has nothing through five and Adam Lowry was kept off the scoresheet for four games prior to being injured. Brendan Lemieux has one game under his belt since being recalled from the Moose, while veteran Matt Hendricks has yet to play this season but is expected to be in the lineup Thursday when the Jets battle the Penguins in Pittsburgh.

  • Injuries Continue to Plague Jets Seven Wounded Players Missed Saturday's Game
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/injuries-continue-to-keep-jets-in-sick- bay-476497963.html?k=QAPMqC Injuries continue to plague Jets Seven wounded players missed Saturday's game By: Mike McIntyre WASHINGTON — Is there a doctor in the house? It’s been a common refrain for the Winnipeg Jets lately, as they just can’t seem to get close to a full, healthy lineup. Seven players were out due to injury in Saturday’s 2-1 loss in Philadelphia. Here’s what we know about all of them, with further updates expected today as the Jets return to action with a morning skate and then their game in Washington against the Capitals. Mark Scheifele has missed two games with a suspected shoulder injury, and there will be no rushing him back into action. He’s considered day-to-day at this point, and coach Paul Maurice had said last week he was a possibility to play either tonight, or tomorrow in Nashville. But don’t bet on it. Defenceman Toby Enstrom is battling a lower-body issue which kept him out for four games, saw him return in New Jersey last Thursday and then be back out on Saturday. Maurice said it’s a nagging thing that can change day-to-day, so his status is very much a question mark. Defenceman Dmitry Kulikov missed Saturday’s game after getting hurt Thursday in New Jersey. Maurice hasn’t said how long he could be out, only that it’s upper-body. Goalie Steve Mason has been sent back to Winnipeg for further testing on a lower-body injury he suffered late in the game against the New York Rangers last Tuesday, which was his first game back from his second concussion of the season.

  • Turnbull Hockey Pool For
    Turnbull Hockey Pool for Each year, Turnbull students participate in several fundraising initiatives, which we promote as a way to develop a sense of community, leadership and social responsibility within the students. Last year's grade 7 and 8 students put forth a great deal of effort campaigning friends and family members to join Turnbull's annual NHL hockey pool, raising a total of $1750 for a charity of their choice (the United Way). This year's group has decided to run the hockey pool for the benefit of Help Lesotho, an international development organization working in the AIDS-ravaged country of Lesotho in southern Africa. From www.helplesotho.org "Help Lesotho’s programs foster hope and motivation in those who are most in need: orphans, vulnerable children, at-risk youth and grandmothers. Our work targets root causes and community priorities, including literacy, youth leadership training, school twinning, child sponsorship and gender programming. Help Lesotho is an effective, sustainable organization that is working at the grass-roots level to support the next generation of leaders in Lesotho." Your participation in this year's NHL hockey pool is very much appreciated. We believe it will provide students and their friends and families an opportunity to have fun together while giving back to their community by raising awareness and funds for a great cause. Prizes: > Grand Prize awarded to contestant whose team accumulates the most points over the regular NHL season = 10" Samsung Galaxy Tablet > Monthly Prizes awarded to the contestants whose teams accumulate the most points over each designated period (see website) = Two Movie Passes How it Works: > Everyone in the community is welcome to join in on the fun.
