The Winnipeg Jets just made NHL history! The Jets finished last season 4th in the league and with one of if not the best goaltenders in Connor Hellebuyck, it came as a massive surprise when they made NHL history for all the wrong reasons. They were the first team to allow 5 goals in each of their first 5 post season games getting eliminated in the first round again. However, after starting this year 8-0 and coming into tonights matchup 13-1 in their first 14 games to start the season, they came into todays matchup against the Dallas Stars looking to make history. The record for the best start to an NHL season was held by the 07-08 Ottawa Senators who went 13-1 in their first 14 games. With Winnipeg just needing 1 win to break that record, they played possibly their best game of the season. I cover it all in todays NHL hockey video!

Are the Jets for real this year?
As someone who became a hockey fan in the 92-93 season when Teemu Selanne scored 76 goals as a rookie, only to see the team leave town a couple years later…this has been a long time coming, but Winnipeg at least feels like a legit contender for the cup this year.
Love the Jet's!!!!! Let's go.
And lets go bombers.
Hello to Tarn at Polo Park Jets store. Thank you Tarn. Jets hoodie is awesome 👌.Got to get to the Peg for a game. What incredible fans!!! and hockey club.
Don't forget last year they overused Hellybuck. He played almost 70 games and was absolutely gassed by the time the playoffs rolled around and had nothing left. They won't make that same mistake twice and need to keep him fresh to make a run. One thing in common all teams have that make a deep playoff run regardless of their offensive/defensive prowess is riding a hot goalie. It's the common denominator. This is also the best looking Jets team since they came back to Winnipeg.
The PP, the energy, effort, skating, speed and chemistry is all on balance the best yet. Virtually all homegrown/drafted guys that have all bought in and WANT to be there which is huge. That's half the battle. The cup is the hardest trophy in sports to win, nothing is guaranteed and nothing is won on paper just because X team has all the big names. This could be Winnipeg's coming out party like the mid 90s Devils. That club also had ~14 years of mediocrity and playoff disappointments after moving from Colorado in 81/82 before getting over the hump.
It would be cool to see a goalie MVP in Hellebuyck. I doubt it with the amount of points players have been putting up but it would be impressive.
peaking early
Winnipeg Jets fan right here ❤
Congratulations to the Jets' franchise and fans! As a longtime Canucks' fan, I understand how heartbreaking it can be to be a true hockey fan and to stick with your team through the lows while hoping for some highs along the way. Jets fans have long deserved some real team success again. Hopefully, Paul Maurice's wish for a Cup for your team comes to fruition! All the best, Winnipeg!
ive been using the jets as a measuring stick on how good my hawks are doing….they hung. i was very impressed. holy the jets are for real right now. if jesse shuts up about the wagon on tsn they might have a hope! lol
logan stanley is the reason for 4 to 1 useless penalties
boo yaaa
Even after the 14 wins from the 1st 15 games the Jets fans are still more humble & realistic than the Leafs, Canadiens & Canuck fan bases! I realise after writing that; QQQ the snide comments from the entitled 1s who snipe at any team but theirs having an awesome time! Thank You Winnipeg for entertaining us & keeping it real.
Backup of the backup: you forget about Swayman
Was at this game me and my brother were wondering what that chant was lmfao
The 1 game they lost, they still put up 4 goals
Not with that coach. Anyone who has a dump on Grapes on air doesn't deserve a cup, no way!
Hellyebuck is their lifeline
I hope the Jets keep the momentum they got a tough schedule ahead with the Rangers, Lightning, and 2 games with the Panthers
This will be coming to an end on Tuesday.
As a hockey fan how can you not love and enjoy seeing something like this keep it going Jets, great video 😀
and the 1 loss was to guess who….TML lol
RESPECT THE JETS
Three Hockey East goalies in the video, how about that!
Best team, best chirps, best place to get your bike stolen, we got it all!! Let’s go Winnipeg!
Great start, but how do they finish?
Fan chants seem be reaching new levels of sophistication this season.
im going to the game vs the rangers tmrw and i promise laf puttin a stop to all this
And they'll still be out in the first round
I’m an Edmonton fan but Winnipeg is a damn good team.
Pull your golie in playoffs now us backup😂
Whoo Raa JETS all the way. Blue too 75+🍁 hunter Winterpeger 👍👍👍👍
I had faith Scott Arniel would at least get us 8 straight wins in a season, I had no idea, he would break a record
Their PDO is 1.072 and their 5v5 GF% is 68.3 yet their xGF% is only 51.3. Now that doesn't mean the Jets aren't truly a good team and nobody thought they were going to go 81-1. But there's obviously going to be a big regression here. The best they've shot in the last 5 years is 10.4% they're way over 14% right now. They've always been a strong defensive team but they're offense is just on a hot streak.
Add another W over the Rangers. GO JETS GO!
The Jets look so much better in their "fake retro" sweaters than in their new ones. They actually look like the Jets. I still hate that F-16 on an RCAF roundel logo because we never had F-16s. I would LOVE to see the Jets win the cup this year and I say that as a Habs fan.
Now they defeated the Rangers and broke their own record… Looks like three more hard hitters before they get a break. Go Jets go!!
Since Wheeler and Trouba left, no offence, loved them both, but Winnipeg seem to have really come together and gelled extremely tight as a team since… sometimes a change is worth the change
And Scheifle is an inspiration to his teammates… they all look up to him
First round babyyy!
Great decision Mcgroarty you douche
Hopefully the Jets will finally have an arch rival.
And we just recently lost to Florida, and whooped them back to the stone age in the second game. I have a good feeling about this year…
