October 17, 2010 at Anaheim

-The Winnipeg Jets outshoot the Ducks, but fall in a shootout after being shut down by Jonas Hiller. It was a game the Jets controlled play, but just couldn't find a way to put the winning goal past Hiller. Labarbera was solid in net for Winnipeg but couldn't make the stop needed in the shootout to get the team a win. Up next for Winnipeg is a home game against the Kings.

(This is by far the most physical team at the forward positions I have every had. Tons of TWF and PWF. Going to be playing a more aggressive forecheck with these guys. My third line can be turned too if I need some true skill guys on the ice. Other than that it is a bruising team I have. Especially the second line with 6'6 Hanzal and 6'3 Knuble.)

October 23, 2010 vs Carolina

-The Jets again looked like the dominant team on their home ice. They outshot the Hurricans 33-20 and came away with a 5-2 win. Martin Hanzal lead the way with two goals and Bryzgalov was once again solid in net. The size and strength of Winnipeg seemed to wear down a smaller Carolina team and after Skinner tied the game up for the Hurricanes in the third Winnipeg scored three straight goals to end the game. Up next the Jets hit the road for games against Montreal, Ottawa, and Detroit.

October 25, 2010 at Montreal

-Winnipeg gives up a late third period goal and loses in OT to stay winless on the road this season. A good game played defensively by both teams kept most of the shots to the outside making it easier on the goalies. Brooks Laich is showing his worth on Winnipeg on the PP where he has a PP goal in consecutive games. The Jets stay on the road and will play Ottawa tomorrow, Labarbera is expected in net.

Sure no problem. Right now sitting at 3-2-2. Trying to still recover from those two season opening losses to Boston.

Thanks. It was a frustrating game. So many scoring chances coming up empty. Oh well as long as I keep getting these losses to OT I get that point in the standings.


I also said I wouldn't offer any trades of my own, but I am on the verge of getting rid of all my old guys for draft picks and prospects. (Note this is coming to mind as I am losing 7-2 to Ottawa)
