It's the Thanksgiving long weekend so we are recording early on Saturday  this week. Angus starts the episode with sad news about his week  regarding Norm McDonald. The guys discuss Johnathan Kovacevic and the  fact the Montreal Canadiens picked up off of waivers which leads to the  conversation of who gets in as the sixth defenceman.

We start the podcast off talking about Big Bad Brad Lambert and how good he will going to be and where we expect him to play and if it's going to  be with the Winnipeg Jets or the Manitoba Moose. Angus and Sam discuss who should be the sixth defender and why each of Samberg, Heinola, and  Stanley would fit well as the sixth defender. Sam wants the season to start sooner for the Jets. The guys quickly discuss how Angus stole  Sam's shirt and then talk about David Rittich's new Heritage pads. The guys discuss fighting in the game of hockey and who we want to see as the next captain. A quick topic about the Jets veteran defenders.

Sam pushes #Believeinbones.  Saku Maenalanen comes up as the most surprising player for the Jets this preseason. We Answer your questions on Twitter and we finish up by talking about the Dale Hawerchuk statue.

There was a preseason hockey game and we got to discuss it! The Winnipeg  Jets would take a loss to the Edmonton Oilers but it was Jets hockey  never the less. Sam Brownell and Angus Hout talked about who they  thought was solid for the Jets in the first preseason game and then who  wasn't great. I'll give you a hint he's 6'7". The guys were sold on the  younger defensemen. The guys talk about who could breakout for the Jets  and who would be traded. The guys talk about what the issues in the room  were last year and the exodus of players in the last few years. Fan  Fest was this past weekend and Angus tells us about his experience at  fan fest. Angus got his jersey signed by Nikolaj Ehlers. The guys talk  about David Rittich and how his first night of being a Jet went and they  end up talking about stick handling goaltender. The guys talk about the  new voice of the Jets Dan Roberts. I tell you what that guy sounds  clean. The podcast finishes up on how the Jets can connect with the fans  just a little bit better.

It's a fine Sunday in Winnipeg and a great day for a new episode of Jets  Nation Radio.

Strap in, this episode of Jets Nation Radio is a ride and a half. Off the top, we need to congratulate the Canadian Women's teams for winning gold! Sam Brownell and Angus Hout really get started by talking about Sam Gagner joining the Winnipeg Jets and where he will play and what he can do for the Jets. The boys talk about who will be the 13th forward for the Jets and how will the lines shake out with the Jets. We talk about crazy plans from coaches and why anarchy would help the NHL. They talk about our favorite hockey fighters and some fun fights.  The guys got back on the rails and talked about Evgeny Svechnikov and why he got a raw deal with the San Jose Sharks and then move on to some of the free agents that are still out in the wild and which of them could join the team. Finally, we finish talking about the Goldeye's and our thoughts on the Labour Day Classic and talk about Riders fans.

Jets Nation Radio might be a day late but it's still packed with great Jets content this week we start a little silly, by talking about Rick Bowness' mullet and the fact he should bring it back and Angus Hout will be willing to grow one out as well if Coach Bones grows his out again. Angus and Sam talk about their favorite jerseys in the NHL and they discuss the 2.0 reverse retro jerseys. The guys talk about news from two weeks ago when Teppo Numminen and Teemu Selanne would be announced they would be going into the Winnipeg Jets Hall of Fame which brought up the question of which Winnipeg Jet goes in next. The guys talk about the defense and which of them needs to take a massive step forward. The guys talk about Paul Stastny and the fact he is moving on to the Carolina Hurricanes and what the expectations should be for him on that value deal. Finally, the show wraps up with a question that is so much fun you'll want to stick around for.

Since there is not much going on with the Jets Sam Brownell and I (Angus Hout) talk about the Central Division and how it will shake out. Do we think the Jets will make the playoffs with Bowness as the head coach and how do the Jets look compared to the rest of the division?  Also we had to give a little shout out to Sara Orlesky for her new job with the Winnipeg Jets and Mark Schiefele for playing in the MB open.

Sam Brownell and myself (Angus Hout) are back for another episode of Jets Nation Radio. This week starts off the episode mentioning the passing of Oilers Super fan Ben Stelter. If you can donate to cancer research in honor of Ben that would be amazing. Sam and Angus discuss the biggest Jets trades in honor of the Gretzky trade. The guy's discusses why it's hard to bring players into Winnipeg and why it can be one of the better cities to play in  why it's not in the best interest of the Jets not to overpay average players.  Then we answer some questions from Tik Tok.
