Illegal Curve Hockey: Winnipeg Jets

For the third straight game and for the second straight time the Jets lose a game in extra time surrendering a point to a team they are chasing. As pointed out by Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press the Jets have now lost 10 of 11 games that go beyond regulation.

Sandwiched by Jets games on Friday and Sunday, this morning's edition of The IC Hockey Show looked back at Friday night v. ANA, preview Sunday v. SJS and delve deep into next Friday's NHL Trade Deadline

The Ducks complete the comeback defeating the Jets 5-4 in overtime as Winnipeg lets a winnable game slip away.

He had enough chances in regulation to find the back of the net but Cole Perfetti finally got it done which gave the Jets a 3-2 win in OT as they kick off the post-Olympic break with a win.

The Olympic break is winding down. We bring you two hours of hockey talk on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show getting you set for the Canada/USA Gold medal game and look ahead to the Jets re-starting after the Olympic break.

After playing an excellent 1st period the Jets slowed and the Canadiens took over and rolled to a 5-1 win as the Olympic break arrives which should put an end to any playoff talk.

While it was a heck of a game, it was the Stars that took it in OT by a final score of 4-3 over the Jets after Thomas Harley scored the game-winning goal. Connor Hellebuyck was rather upset and upon reviewing the video it appears to be because the strap came off his helmet and he likely expected the ref to blow the play dead.

The Jets were down by one heading into 3rd which all season long has been a recipe for disaster but not today in Florida. Winnipeg scores twice in final frame to win it 2-1. Eric Comrie excellent in the victory.

Video Description:

The Jets will be midway through their trip in sunny, but cold, Florida when we hit the airwaves for two hours of hockey talk on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show. We will reflect on the game they played in Tampa, get you set up for the game in the afternoon against the Panthers and discuss Connor Hellebuyck's play, what they may do with Cole Perfetti and lineup decisions down the stretch.
