Jets

Winnipeg wasted no time getting things started, swarming Vancouver and skating circles around the opposition. Spencer Martin faced a number of challenging shots ...

The Jets thoroughly dismantled Vancouver, and the Canucks looked like a bunch of skating ghosts for much of the evening. He didn’t set the world ablaze, but it was a calm and confident performance. The Jets, for their part, were content to slow things down and let off the gas. The Canucks were barely creating much of anything off the rush as it was, and the pair of conceded goals appeared to suck the remaining life out of the team. The Jets continued to apply pressure for much of the first period, stifling Vancouver’s offensive zone possessions and utterly shutting the door on scoring opportunities. It hangs above a team like a thunderous cloud, threatening to rain on all the unfortunate victims below.
