Sean writes for Charting Hockey and always provides great insight into hockey analytics.

Topic 1: The Jets position in the standings and their underlying numbers.

Topic 2: The firepower the Jets have and whether they should have better results.

Topic 3: What has he seen from Connor Hellebuyck and what has he meant to this team.

Topic 4: Outperforming poor defensive play via the offensive side of the game.

Topic 5: Splitting up Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler and whether this was the right decision.

Topic 6: On Patrik Laine’s play.

Topic 7: Does Nikolaj Ehlers get enough credit as a play driver?

Topic 8: What do the Jets need to do to maximize the effectiveness of their D?

After the show Sean tweeted out this for Jets fans about the D:

You can catch the Illegal Curve Hockey Show on TSN 1290 Winnipeg every Saturday from 9 am until 12 noon.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
