32 Thoughts Podcast | Insiders chat about play of Connor Hellebuyck, Winnipeg Jets vs Minnesota Wild rivalry & more

On the 32 Thoughts Podcast released today (recorded last night) and Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman got to talking about the Winnipeg Jets.

The conversation about goaltending began at 18:18. Interesting comment:

“……he said watching Hellebuyck this year, and the Jets and Hellebuyck weren’t sure that was going to work and it happened in October or September, he said it is a reminder if you have one of those eight quarterbacks, or one of those eight goalies, you hang onto them as long as you can.”

They then discuss the Winnipeg/Minnesota rivalry starting at 33:39. Interesting comment:

“Someone said to me today, Minnesota is a really physical team. Their whole identity is punish you. If you can punish the Minnesota Wild, people notice that. People recognize it. Minnesota doesn’t get thrown around too much, if at all. And there’s gonna be players who watch that and say ‘the Jets, they stood up to them eh. They pushed them around a little bit eh.’. Hmmm.”

At the 36 minute mark the pair discuss Rick Bowness as a potential Jack Adams nominee.
