Winnipeg vs Montreal: 2021 Playoff Preview (according to Chief)

Wow, who knew we would have been here? After sweeping the Oilers? Against the Canadiens? 2021 has certainly been a wild year thus far.

Winnipeg vs Edmonton: 2021 Playoff Preview (according to Chief)

I am going to continue this weird tradition of only doing long-ish articles for playoff previews. I was wrong last year, but that's only because everyone important-ish got injured like 2 seconds into the game. Here's hoping for some actual competitiveness this ye- oh boy, it's the Oilers.

It's probably not a "rift", but...

There has been much ado lately about how far apart Paul Maurice and Kevin Cheveldayoff seem to be on one of the Winnipeg Jets most prized prospects, Ville Heinola. Whereas Chevy has made reference to “internal upgrades on defence” at the start of the season, midseason, and post-trade deadline, Maurice – the person in control of the lineups for games – and Charlie Huddy – the person in charge of the pairings going out onto the ice during play – has only played Heinola twice in a now-84 day span, averaging just around 12 minutes in each game.

Winnipeg vs Calgary: 2019-20 Playoff Preview (according to Chief)

I did one of these before on the infamous HFBoards in preparation for the Jets playoff series against the Blues, and somehow came correct in my prediction of "Blues in 6", so I thought I would do one of these again for the very weird COVID-19 Stanley Cup Qualifiers starting tomorrow (somehow).

The Winnipeg Jets Need to Fire Paul Maurice

Paul Maurice has failed as the head coach of the Winnipeg Jets. Winnipeg's second bench boss has driven the Jets into the ground, and with no indication that he is capable of bringing them back to their conference finalist ways, it’s time to fire him.
