    The NHL All-Star weekend is almost here and honestly the game can be a bit of a snooze fest. Some players decline their invitations, and others play half-hearted with little motivation. There have been some positive changes in the last few years but what else can be done?

    Despite having the best player in the NHL the Edmonton Oilers have been a disaster. They have traded away multiple assets for duds (I'm looking at you Ryan Spooner) and have signed some questionable contracts *cough* Lucic *cough*. What can the Winnipeg Jets learn from their mistakes? With the franchise in turmoil is there any way for the Jets to capitalize?

  • Goalie Controversy

    At the halfway point of the NHL season the Winnipeg Jets are heating up. As a team they are right where many fans expected them to be. This has been a result of different parts of the lineup exceeding expectations. Laurent Brossoit has arguably been the biggest revelation, and many people have called for more ice time. Is there controversy in the crease? Should the starts get split equally? The guys look at some other overachievers and the acquisitions that could be made heading into the trade deadline.

  • Injury Implications

     

    Since the Christmas break the injury bug has bitten the Winnipeg Jets. They have two key players out of the lineup for a considerable amount of time, Dustin Byfuglien and Nikolaj Ehlers. Does Tyler Myers step up and play better with more minutes? Is this an opportunity for Sami Niku? It also gives a number of forwards on the Jets an opportunity to play with the top pairing of Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. Who will be the one to take that spot? The guys also wrap up the World Juniors and the All-Star nominations.

    Christmas has come and gone and the Winnipeg Jets are back on the ice tonight against the Calgary Flames. Hopefully they didn't eat as much candy as Cody and Kyle and come into the game in decent shape. On this week's episode the guys wrap up some fan questions from twitter, look at the lineup for tonight's tilt, and talk about team Canada's performance at the World Juniors. Can Canada win another gold medal?

  • Winning Hurts
    Despite the injuries piling up the Winnipeg Jets are coming off a perfect 3-0 road trip and have won four straight. It's the longest winning streak of the season but some of the wins have come in less than convincing fashion. What has been their secret to success? Are younger players replacing the veterans? With the announcement of a 32nd NHL franchise being added in Seattle the guys take an early look at who to expose for the expansion draft.

  • Fire and Ice
    The Winnipeg Jets have been hot and cold this season and it's often been said that they aren't playing to their full potential. Patrick Laine finally seems to have broken out of his early season slump but Connor Hellebuyck has regressed to more pedestrian numbers in net. Will this last for both of these players? Does the reassignment of Kristian Vesalainen hurt the team or his development? How does William Nylander's contract negotiation affect the Jets? The guys look at all of that and more on this week's episode.

  • "Finn"tastic
    Changes have been made around the NHL and four coaches are now looking for work. The Winnipeg Jets seem to be in a solid place with their coach but there is always room for improvement. Could one of these available coaches help the team? It's been a unique situation with Kristian Vesalainen. He has been called up and then sent back down to the Moose for no obvious reason. With a lot of rumors flying the guys weigh in with their opinions. Also on today's show the guys talk about the regular strength scoring of Laine, they rank the Jets' forwards and look at the viability of a WHL team coming to the 'Peg.

  • Super Scheifele
    I don't know what happened away from the rink in Finland, but whatever it was it seemed to help the Jets. Winnipeg is 3-0 since returning back home including some big performances from their top line of Mark Schiefele, Blake Wheeler, and Nikolaj Ehlers. Patrick Laine hasn't been scoring at even strength, but does it really matter if the team is winning and he is contributing on the power play? Josh Morrissey could be facing supplemental discipline and Myers should be facing discipline for some of his latest errors. The guys look at all of this and more on today's show.

  • Suspensions
    Is the NHL season still going on? The Winnipeg Jets have had an extended break since coming back from Finland and the guys are getting antsy. Patrick Laine played great in his home country; will this type of play continue when he comes back to North America? The Jets also have the tough decision of what to do with Brendan Lemieux. His hit basically cost them the game against the Panthers, and now he is out for at least the next two games.
