Poolman Swimming, Not Sinking Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/poolman-swimming-not-sinking- 450852903.html Poolman swimming, not sinking By: Jason Bell VANCOUVER — Tucker Poolman nearly had no hockey town to call home six years ago. He was fresh out of East Grand Forks High School and on the hunt for a junior team. A couple of organizations near his home in Minnesota, and from neighbouring states North Dakota and Wisconsin, gave cursory looks, but made no grand gestures offering a place for him to hang his skates. Poolman’s long-term plan to play college hockey seemed like a long shot at best, and the goal to one day earn a living in the game had fast become a figment of his imagination. "I never thought I’d get a chance," he said matter-of-factly Thursday afternoon, swiping sweat from his forehead while sitting in the visitors’ dressing room at Rogers Arena, home of the Vancouver Canucks. "I wanted it, but you start to wonder if it’s going to happen." Poolman finally got his shot — a gig with the Wichita Falls (Texas) Wildcats of the North American Hockey League that eventually paved the way to a three-year stint with the University of North Dakota Fighting Hawks. Now, he’s getting an even bigger chance to shine. The 24-year-old defenceman played the second game of his NHL career Thursday night, taking a regular shift for the Winnipeg Jets against the Canucks. The Central Division club doubled up on the hosts 4-2 and has won two straight contests since the calm, steady blue-liner — who wasn’t drafted until his final year of eligibility — was inserted into the lineup Monday night in Edmonton. With Dustin Byfuglien sidelined with a lower-body injury, Poolman learned two hours before puck drop he was slotting in. "It was definitely a wave of energy and emotion. I just tried to relax," he said. "I went back to my phone and texted a few people and went back and checked to make sure they got it. It was exciting. I got to talk to my mom and dad after (Monday night’s) game, just quickly because we had a flight, and then I talked to them (Tuesday). It was awesome." His folks, Mark and LeAnne Poolman, along with brothers Colton and Mason, back home in East Grand Forks, tuned in to a newly purchased NHL cable channel to watch his debut against the Oilers. Poolman, just shy of 6-4 and about 210 pounds, said he tried to stick to the basics against Oilers star Connor McDavid and the rest of the Pacific Division squad. "It went fine. I didn’t want to over-handle, just stick to the structure and if there was a play to be made, try to make it," he said. "I didn’t really have an opportunity to do anything special. By the time we had the lead, I really wanted to play it safe. "I’m happy with it. I just want to, hopefully, help the team out any way I can." His games in Edmonton and Vancouver were like mirror images. In each, he took 19 shifts and had about 14-and-a-half minutes of ice time. He was credited with two shots against Oilers’ goalie Cam Talbot, and is still looking for his milestone first NHL point. Poolman is tall, physical and mobile, keenly aware of scenarios unfolding around him and opting for smart, sensible plays that have, almost exclusively, been the right ones. Indeed, it’s a small sample size, but to say he has impressed would be an understatement. "Right from Day 1 in training camp, he looked very comfortable, just a smart, smart player. He doesn’t get himself into trouble trying to do too much and he was like that in his first game. He looked very mature and composed on the ice," said Winnipeg head coach Paul Maurice, prior to the Jets-Canucks tilt. "He did one play (in Edmonton), kick it to a forward, jump into a hole and get it back and then kick it to the outside, so there’s some (puck-moving ability) there as well. "But he’s smart. He’s not trying to sell that as what he does for the team. He’s selling a real, good, simple game and that there is some upside to what he can do. Once he gets more experience in the NHL, he’ll be able to do a little bit more of that." Looking back, Poolman said the last-ditch effort in the fall of 2011 to latch on with Wichita Falls paid dividends. He spent a year there and then moved on to a productive season with the Omaha Lancers of the United States Hockey League, catching the Jets’ attention in the summer of 2013. Winnipeg called his name in the fifth round (127th overall) of the NHL draft. He played one more season in Omaha and had several colleges circling, but made one of the easiest choices of his life — committing to the school across the river from where he grew up and where his dad played football in the late ’80s and has served as the hockey program’s athletic trainer for more than two decades, doubling as the Fighting Hawks’ strength and conditioning co-ordinator. "I grew up around the UND rink and that’s probably the reason I love hockey so much because I was always hanging out there," he said. "It was the last school I visited. I didn’t want to make any decisions because that’s the school I wanted to go to." Poolman won a national collegiate championship in 2016, but suffered a pair of injured shoulders in the playoffs in March of this year and was done for the year. The Fighting Hawks couldn’t repeat, losing 4-3 in double-overtime to Boston University in the NCAA West Regional semifinal. Tucker signed a one-year, US$1.775-million, entry-level deal with the Jets on March 30 and went under the knife to fix his right shoulder the day after. He underwent a procedure on the left shoulder three weeks later. During training camp, he was eager to give the shoulders a workout and was demonstrably pleased with the way they responded, especially after some physical play in the pre-season. A hard hit by Oilers’ rugged winger Milan Lucic earlier this week was the best test of all. "That was a good little welcome," Poolman said, laughing. "Some guys finish their check but only go halfway, and I just thought it was going to be more of a bump. He finished it." Maurice said it’s another lesson learned for a player whose path to the show had more bumps than others. "There are all kinds of late bloomers," said Maurice, in his third full season behind the Winnipeg bench. "There are other players, too, that are 22 or 23 who feel they’re behind their potential because they’re not there, yet. But there’s time. (Poolman) stayed with it... he’s worked hard to get here and he seems very patient, too. "The guys willing to grind and work, and are comfortable with where they’re at but push themselves to get better, those guys have a little different taste when they get here." Right now, Poolman is savouring every minute. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/healthy-myers-back-in-action- 450852883.html Healthy Myers back in action After an extended recovery, defenceman is healthy and ready for action By: Jason Bell VANCOUVER — Tyler Myers is like a raw rookie, jacked to be in the NHL but taking a cautious approach until he reaches a certain comfort level with his game. He desperately wants to return to the form he demonstrated in Winnipeg between the time he was traded to the Jets in February 2014 and the early stages of the 2016-17 season, before his own injuries and health problems with his newborn son drastically shortened the year. Myers played just 11 games, picking up two goals and three assists, and his absence combined with the amount of time missed by blue-liners Toby Enstrom and Jacob Trouba thrust a dagger into the squad’s playoff aspirations. The 27-year-old defenceman is an imposing 6-8 and 220 pounds, with tremendous mobility and a long, active stick. He’s shown some offensive ability since coming over from the Buffalo Sabres, but nothing that compares to the 48 points he registered during his inaugural season in the league (2009-10) when he was named the NHL’s Calder Trophy winner as rookie of the year. Even a reasonable facsimile bodes well for the Jets and their six-man defensive unit. Myers was a workhorse for Winnipeg on Thursday night, taking 27 shifts and playing a team- high 25 minutes and six seconds of ice time against the Vancouver Canucks, while flashing a deadly accurate shot to score a short-handed goal, the eventual winner, late in the second period at Rogers Arena. Winnipeg knocked off the Canucks 4-2, evening their Central Division record at 2-2-0. "It felt good," Myers said during a post-game scrum with reporters. "The start of the season it feels great to be back out with the guys. I feel good, still, obviously, getting used to some situations and some different plays. But it’s coming back quick." Team captain Blake Wheeler said the return of a healthy Myers is critical to the Jets’ success this season.

  • 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 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.

  • Jets Expansion Draft Plan Coming Into Focus? Signing Dano Could Be Indicator
    Winnipeg Sun http://www.winnipegsun.com/2017/06/13/jets-expansion-draft-plan-coming-into-focus Jets expansion draft plan coming into focus? Signing Dano could be indicator BY KEN WIEBE, WINNIPEG SUN There are still several moving parts and a few issues left to uncover or resolve, but the expansion plans for the Winnipeg Jets are coming into focus. While it's still unclear whether the Jets asked veteran defenceman Toby Enstrom to waive his no-movement clause before Monday's deadline, you'd have to think the conversation took place. When Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff was asked directly about the topic of no-movement clauses at his year-end address, he said all options would be explored. Officially, the Jets won't be commenting on the process until after the protected lists are revealed on Sunday morning. Based on experience, one shouldn't expect too much detail to be given, even after the expansion draft picks are made public. It's a sensitive subject and one of the biggest reasons the NHL GM's didn't want the lists to be made public. Yes, it's possible the Jets could buy out the final year of Enstrom's $5.75 million contract, but that appears to be the most unlikely result. The Jets haven't bought out a player since the franchise relocated and it's hard to imagine Enstrom would be the first, especially since they still value his services when healthy. Buying him out would be both a costly proposition and leave a void on the left side of the defence depth chart.

  • Maurice Changes Lines at Jets Practice
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/maurice-changes-lines-at-jets-practice- 473698153.html Maurice changes lines at Jets practice By: Mike Sawatzky The Winnipeg Jets may have the NHL's best home record but there's a price to be paid for all that success. "When you're higher in the standings, and we're close to first, you're going to get teams pretty geared up to play you when they come in," said veteran Jets defenceman Ben Chiarot following practice at Bell MTS Place Saturday afternoon. "This is a tough building to play in and when you put where we are in the standings on top of that, teams are going to come out hard. If we're off one night or sleeping to start, we're going to be off on the wrong foot. "And St. Louis was pretty jacked up to play us." The Jets, mostly outplayed by the Blues in a 5-2 loss to St. Louis Friday night, will have another chance to defend home ice Sunday afternoon (2 p.m., TSN3, TSN 1290) when the New York Rangers make their lone visit of the 2017-18 season. Winnipeg was 20-4-2 at home and tied for top spot in the Central Division while the Rangers were three points out of a wild-card playoff spot in the Eastern Conference heading into Saturday's action. On Thursday, Rangers GM Jeff Gorton sent shockwaves through the league when he announced the club was entering a rebuilding phase and warned the club's fans that a sell-off of major assets was probable prior to the Feb.
