It's cold out, no one really likes this kind of weather and here come the Florida Panthers, the NHL's hottest team. The come in having left a path of destruction behind them before arriving to this norther outpost in the centre of Canada.
The other cold thing in Winnipeg is Blake Wheeler. After 4 goals in two games against conference rivals Dallas and Colorado he went for zilch versus Columbus and Buffalo two games the Jets had to win if they want any hope of staying close in the west or keeping Noel with a job.
So what happens tonight? What could possibly go right? First off let's get the chants going from the 300 section. Thomas is in net and he deserves grief as much as anyone. How about "OOO-BAAMAA CAARRRE"?
It's another 'must win' for a team that must simply start winning. That's about all that can be said. It's amazing what a coaching change can make- just ask the Florida Panthers.
That being said let's go back to Blake Wheeler- is he going to heat up?
I think a comparrison point is worth doing so without further ado Game Maps gives you:
