Jets Doing Their Best to Forget Double-Overtime Dagger Hurt but Team Happy to Be Home with Split Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/jets-doing-their-best-to-forget- 481312533.html Jets doing their best to forget Double-overtime dagger hurt but team happy to be home with split By: Jason Bell The late-night flight home and a restless sleep, video work with coaches and some kibitzing with teammates pretty much summed up the 16 hours that followed the Winnipeg Jets’ most crushing loss of the year. All signs Monday afternoon, however, suggested the torment of a double-overtime defeat had dulled considerably. "Something we talked about (Sunday) night, we’re all disappointed to lose in a game in double overtime. It’s tough, but you have to park it right away, as soon as you get on the plane and come back home here," said defenceman Josh Morrissey, who spoke with reporters at Bell MTS Place. "We’re pretty happy that we’re coming home with a split. Obviously, we’re disappointed (Sunday) night but I think we’re in a pretty good spot. I just feel we can be a little bit better each game. That game, Game 2, was a big improvement from Game 1 as far as we were concerned. If we can continue to do that, we’re happy with the position we’re in." Nashville forward Kevin Fiala put a sudden halt to a 4-4 tie Sunday night with his third goal of the playoffs, lifting the Predators to a dramatic triumph over the visiting Jets. 'It's tough, but you have to park it right away, as soon as you get on the plane and come back home here' — Josh Morrissey The NHL’s premier squads during the regular season are locked up 1-1 in the best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal series. Game 3 is set for 7 p.m at Winnipeg’s downtown arena, as inhospitable a site as anywhere in the NHL. The Jets went 32-7-2 at Bell MTS Place this season, best in the NHL. Predictably, only a modest group of Winnipeg players chose to participate in an optional on-ice workout the morning after what was, for the majority of Jets, the longest game of their pro careers. Fiala’s backhand past goalie Connor Hellebuyck sent the Bridgestone Arena crowd into hysterics at 5:37 of the second OT session. Mark Scheifele’s second goal of the contest, his league-leading eighth of the postseason with 65 seconds left in regulation and Hellebuyck on the bench in favour of an extra skater, pulled the Jets even at 4-4. Soaring home from Music City at midnight with a 2-0 series lead on the Presidents’ Trophy winners (the NHL team with the best regular-season record) in Round 2 would have been a dazzling scenario for the Jets, just a year removed from missing the playoffs entirely. "The split’s a fact. That’s your minimum goal going into your first two, you want to make sure that you get a win to get the game back onto your ice," said head coach Paul Maurice. "But when you get into double overtime, you certainly want two at that point. So, you’re still feeling the pain for it. You just have to deal with it today so it’s not a part of your tomorrow." Settling for a win in Game 1 and nabbing home-ice advantage is a radiant silver lining. The Jets are on a 12-0 run at Bell MTS Place, including a three-game sweep of their home games against the Minnesota Wild in the opening round. Hellebuyck said the deafening din created by thousands of white-clad fans inside the building — not to mention thousands more jammed in at a downtown street party — is like a not-so-secret weapon. "We’re going to be calling out to our fans to really put the pressure on, because we have that ability here. Our fan base is awesome, our noise can carry some serious momentum," he said. "I wasn’t fazed as much as I thought I would (in Nashville). Obviously, the atmosphere is awesome, a little bit crazy. But I like ours a lot more. I think ours is way more hockey related and a lot more stinging than theirs was. I’m looking forward to (Game 3) and seeing how much this amps up." Hellebuyck will start his eighth straight of the postseason tonight. He was absolutely sensational in Friday’s 4-1 triumph, stopping 47 shots. Two nights later he made 36 saves and nearly snared the shot off Fiala’s stick. "Would you believe me if I said 99 per cent? It was practically in my glove, it just happened to roll up and over," said Hellebuyck. A finalist — along with Rinne and Tampa Bay Lighting puck-stopper Andrei Vasilevskiy — for the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goalie, Hellebuyck said he’s feeding off the pressure of playoff hockey and the added strain of overtime. "I think that’s what we enjoy — all on the line, get those nerves going and you have a chance to be a hero. That’s what everyone likes. We have a huge fan base, a lot of eyes on us and if you don’t enjoy that you’re in the wrong sport. We’re here to have some fun, too." https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/predators-arent-afraid-to-enter-whiteout- tonight-481310703.html Predators aren't afraid to enter whiteout tonight By: Jason Bell WHILE the Winnipeg Jets like their chances at home, the Nashville Predators demonstrated no signs of being intimidated on the road all season long. The Predators racked up an impressive 25-9-7 record living out of hotels and getting mocked by opposing fans during the 2017-18 campaign. Nashville is also the last squad that toppled the Jets at Bell MTS Place, earning a 6-5 win on Feb. 27. Winnipeg has won 12 straight at home since then. The Jets and Preds collide tonight at 7 p.m. in Game 3 of their second-round NHL playoff series. Nashville evened the series 1-1 with a 5-4 double-overtime victory Sunday. Predators forward Nick Bonino told reporters there’s no great secret to the club’s road success. "Getting on the road is always fun as a team. You go out to dinner, there’s not really any distractions. You’re there for hockey. You get up and treated it as business as usual," said Bonino, who centres an effective trio of Austin Watgson and Colton Sissons. The line has registered nine goals and 10 assists in eight games. Nashville upended the Colorado Avalanche in six games in Round 1. "We kind of just roll the lines. We’ve got four lines that can really go and don’t worry about matchups or anything, we just play had have some good results," he said. Bonino said he barely remembers the narrow victory over the Jets in late February but gets pumped up playing in the Manitoba capital. "It’s a really fun arena to play in. They got the whiteout going. They’re loud. It’s always fun to play in front of fans like that. It’s just like Nashville, it’s a loud arena with passionate fans," he said. "We’ve been to a lot of buildings that loud, but these are two of the loudest I think in the league. They wanted the team back in Winnipeg. They got it back and they have a great team now so the fans are pumped up and ready to go." ________________________________________________ A trio of Jets nursing injuries participated in an optional morning skate Monday morning at Bell MTS Place. Dmitry Kulikov, out since early March with a back injury, took part in his first skate with the group and wore a yellow ‘no-contact’ jersey but likely won’t be available to the club for another couple of weeks. Veteran forward Mathieu Perreault (upper body), injured in Game 1 of the first-round series with the Minnesota Wild, and winger Joel Armia (upper body), hurt in Game 5 of the Wild series, also skated. Perreault wore a regular jersey, while Armia sported yellow. But getting head coach Paul Maurice to so much as hint at their status of was an exercise in futility during his press availability Monday. "That’s a really good way to put it. I think that sums it right up. That’s probably what I would have said exactly," said Maurice, his wit coming out in full force when he was asked if Perreault would be good to go at "some point in the future?" _________________________________________________ Most of the Jets chose to recover from the protracted contest and late-night flight home by staying off their skates today. Jacob Trouba said it was, indeed, a day to recover, physically and mentally. "It’s pretty much personal. Everybody’s different, I guess. You just do what you’ve got to do to be ready for (tonight), whether it’s skating or doing whatever you got to do off the ice to feel good. It’s kind of a recovery, rejuvenation kind of thing..." he said. "You hope that there’s a pretty good reward at the end and these are the things you’ve got to go through and the days you’ve got to battle through and do what you got to do today and get ready for tomorrow." ___________________________________________________ Kyle Connor had 31 tallies, the most of any NHL rookie during the regular season.

  • An Introductory Guide to Advanced Hockey Stats
    SHOT METRICS: AN INTRODUCTORY GUIDE TO ADVANCED HOCKEY STATS by Mike McLaughlin Patrick McLaughlin July 2013 Copyright c Left Wing Lock, Inc. 2013 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT A primary goal of analysis in hockey and fantasy hockey is the ability to use statistics to accurately project the future performance of individual players and teams. Traditional hockey statistics (goals, assists, +/-, etc.) are limited in their ability to achieve this goal, due in large part to their non-repeatability. One alternative approach to hockey analysis would use puck possession as its fundamental metric. That is, if a player or team is dominant, that dominance should be reflected in the amount of time in which they possess the puck. Unfortunately, the NHL does not track nor publish data related to puck possession. In spite of this lack of data, there are methods that can be used to track puck possession. The purpose of this document is to introduce hockey fans (and fantasy hockey managers) to the topic of Shot Metrics. Briefly, Shot Metrics involves the use of NHL shot data to analyze individual players and teams. The shot data is used as a proxy for puck possession. Essentially, teams that are able to shoot the puck more often are doing so because they are more frequently in possession of the puck. It turns out that teams that are able to consistently outshoot their opponents typically end up winning games and performing well in the playoffs [1]. Thus, shot data can play an integral role in the way the game of hockey is analyzed.

  • The Chicago Bears Chose Devin Hester with the 57Th Pick in the 2006 Draft,Nike Nfl Uniforms 2012, and They Got a Steal
    The Chicago Bears chose Devin Hester with the 57th pick in the 2006 draft,nike nfl uniforms 2012, and they got a steal. Hester is the best kick returner in the league,new nfl nike jerseys, and he has a chance to go down in history as the best kick returner ever. Every N.F.L. team would love to pick this year’s version of Devin Hester. But does this draft have a Devin Hester? One surprisingly bold player is willing to say it does, and he’s it: Troy cornerback Leodis McKelvin. The Vikings clearly were unconcerned about the risks of a huge second contract for a superstar running back. We discussed that issue this summer,nfl jersey monster,leaked nike nfl jerseys, noting the relatively short career spans for running backs and the recent examples of big-time runners whose production dipped dramatically after signing their second contracts. Peterson has tallied 1,334 touches in his career,womens football jerseys, including kickoff returns, but has missed only three of a possible 64 games and has had no off-field issues that would compromise his eligibility to play with the league. Most NFL observers consider Peterson and the Tennessee Titans' Chris Johnson as the co-best running backs in the league,football jersey creator, but Peterson's deal exceeds the one Johnson signed last month. Johnson's extension averaged $13.3 million in new money and included $30 million in guarantees.

  • Jets Forced to Return Home After Real Whiteout Closes Minneapolis Airport
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/snowstorm-closes-minneapolis-airport- forces-jets-plane-to-land-in-duluth-479777143.html Jets forced to return home after real whiteout closes Minneapolis airport By: Mike McIntyre It was a white out on the highway near Monticello, Minnesota this morning. Free Press photographer Trevor Hagan was on his way to Minneapolis to cover the Jets/Wild playoff series. They've handled the Minnesota Wild in the first two games off their playoff series, but the Winnipeg Jets have proven to be no match for Mother Nature. A record-setting spring snowstorm meant the Jets were unable to land in Minneapolis Saturday afternoon and forced the charter flight to be diverted to Duluth, 250 kilometres northeast. After sitting on the tarmac for a couple hours waiting to see if an opportunity to get into the Twin Cities might open up, a decision was made to turn the plane around and head back to Winnipeg by late afternoon. All planes were grounded at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport for much of the day as the area was under a blizzard warning, with some estimates of more than 30 centimetres of snow. The Jets will now fly out of Winnipeg Sunday morning, which is a major change to normal game- day routine. The puck is set to drop for Game 3 at 6 p.m. in St Paul, with the Jets up 2-0 in the best-of-seven series. Winnipeg held a brief practice and media availability Saturday morning at the Bell MTS Iceplex, moving up the time because of the storm system.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 24, 2021 LIGHTNING, ISLANDERS VIE FOR STANLEY CUP FINAL BERTH IN GAME 7 SHOWDOWN FRIDAY NEW YORK (June 24, 2021) -- The Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Islanders will decide their Stanley Cup Semifinals series Friday night when they take to the ice at AMALIE Arena in Tampa for a winner-take-all Game 7 (8 p.m. ET, NBCSN, CBC, SN, TVAS). The teams will be vying for a berth in the Stanley Cup Final against the winner of the other Semifinals series between the Vegas Golden Knights and Montreal Canadiens. The Lightning will be skating in their ninth Game 7 in franchise history (5-3) and for the sixth time in the final-four round (2-3). Only three other clubs – all from the Original Six – have played as many such contests in the Semifinals: the Boston Bruins (8 GP; 4-4), Detroit Red Wings (6 GP; 5-1) and Chicago Blackhawks (6 GP; 3-3). Lightning defenseman Ryan McDonagh has made a team-high eight career appearances in a Game 7 (6-2), one of 10 active players with at least six career Game 7 wins. McDonagh is attempting to join two active NHL players with seven-or-more such wins: Carl Hagelin (8-2) and Anton Stralman (7-2). Other players on the Lightning roster with at least five previous Game 7s are defenseman Victor Hedman (3-3) and forwards Steven Stamkos (3-3) and Pat Maroon (2-3). The Islanders, who blanked the Philadelphia Flyers 4-0 in Game 7 in the Second Round of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs, are competing in a Game 7 in consecutive seasons for the first time in franchise history.
