TSN Winnipeg Bureau Reporter John Lu joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss the Jets’ incredible Game 5 performance that kept their season alive, and whether he thinks the animosity from the third period between Mark Scheifele and Jamie Benn will carry over into Game 6.

Long time Red Wings fan, here, so no dog in the fight, but shutting out the Stars, with this kind of 100% focused, fiery, intelligent and patient team-wide performance, really augurs well for the Jets heading into Game 6 (and then hopefully, a liitle later, Game 7).
Very good effort in this one, overall, then, by the Jets — I'd certainly like to see Winnipeg win the series at this point and then go on to compete in the Conference Final.
JOHN LU, WHAT A SOULLESS SELL OUT REPORTER.
Eliminate the team before “ hatred “ sets in. Says this Oiler fan, after the fact of course. If the Jets can come back, this game and altercation will be recalled. Benn not doing any favours to his team or his reputation . Go Jets! 🛩️ 🇨🇦
If Austin Matthew’s had scheifele intensity the series with the panthers would be very different
Benn assaulted Scheifele?
They need to win in North Star home wins
Two minutes to Scheifele for getting sucker punched by a washed up neanderthal
If Byfuglien was still on the team, there is no way Benn does anything like that.
Benn will screw things up for Dallas like he always does
Spaghetti schief has the worst balance which he needs to work on. That punch was hard but he needs to work in that center of balance
Winnipeg should have won this game. Don't sugarcoat it, folks. The big test is Game 6. The Jets have not won a game on the road in the playoffs and it's time for Connor Hellebuyck to show that he is a big-time playoff goalie by winning Game 6.
Luke is gonna truck that fool
Jamie Benn, No goals and 1 assist, minus 2 against the Jets. Weaker players always resort to cheap shots.
This team is built for the moment! Let's take game 6 and bring it home!
Great acting by scheif
Scheifele will exact revenge by scoring 2.
Can not let Benn get into your head. We need Schief to just focus on game 6 !
He kicked benn lol what do you expect!!
I think Ben shoulda been Suspended for a Few Games.. that was a Soccer punch..
Scheifele can't do anything to Benn. He is scared.
Scheifele's father just passed away during the night,I'm sure Jaime frickin Benn is the last thing on his mind. Do it for Dad Mark.
Rest in peace BRAD. On behalf of all Jets fans, our thoughts and prayers are with the Schiefele family. 🕊🕊
How Benn is not suspended is the real question. NHL DPS is a joke.
Pretty sure this question has been answered by this point
