Dylan DeMelo

This is with Vlad Namestnikov.

Uh, or is this, or is this with Demelo in the box or, or Namestnikov?

I think it was Demelo.

Demelo's in the box on this one.

Yeah.

Sorry.

Yeah.

Demelo's in the box for tripping Keegan Kolasar, who returns to the game after taking the, uh, the one-two punch from TyRell Bower.

But also, and then, and the other thing is the Winnipeg Jets have been sheltering to some capacity their third pairing since the dawn of time.

Like, when Dylan Demelo first came to the Winnipeg Jets and he was babysitting Logan Stanley on the third pairing, they were playing significantly less minutes.

I think the thing about Ty Bauer that's more justifiable than a Logan Stanley is that it seems like there's an inherent understanding of what the player's ceiling is in terms of competition and all this different stuff.

There was something about Logan Stanley that the organization saw in him that I did not in terms of what he could do with tougher match-ups and, and more elevated minutes and all this different stuff that I just didn't see.

Freaking start me up.

Fire me the hell up, bro.

If it's like a Dylan Demelo-

I love it

Detroit manages to get that.

Emmet Finney, uh, manages to, uh, get his stick free against Dylan DeMelo and, uh, Michael Bradnes, Nejgaard, and, uh, Alex DeBrincat on the setup there.

That made it 3-2 with 15 long minutes to go, but this time the Jets were able to hang on.

They were outshot 35 to 27 in the hockey game.

Uh, but Detroit, you could feel the desperation and the urgency in their game, and they certainly got a boy-- a boost and were buoyed by the fact that they got the Arvidsson goal fairly late in that second period, and then, uh, they really had that push up the ice in the third period.

Uh, but yeah, uh, Winnipeg, uh, did, uh, in a word, hang on here this afternoon.

Yeah, and the, the difference maybe with Friday night, too, uh, [laughs] Mitchell, and I don't know, maybe it was just carrying over from the penalty kill, but, uh, they had that two-minute minor to Dylan DeMelo to have to handle before the six on five.

Yeah, they spent a bunch of time down a skater in the last five or six minutes of the game, but, but held, right? And like you guys talk about, um, you know, learning how to, how to play with the lead, learning how to hold the lead.

Uh, follow Viggo Bjork hitting a .92 game score, good to see that out of him for sure.

And on the defensive side, Dylan DeMelo obviously with that goal, uh, leads the team in game score.

Mario Ferraro, despite scoring a goal, gets a, um, negative, uh, game score here on the sheet, which is very interesting.

But, uh, yeah, it was a great game all around for the Winnipeg Jets.

It's only game one, and I do think we got a lot of Stu left to go.

But let's go through the, the Jets' goals.

As it, starting the game, it was Dylan DeMelo scoring the first goal of the season for the Winnipeg Jets, uh, off a off-the-boards one-timer sl- slap shot that went snipe top corner.

Uh, great to see DeMelo, uh, picking up this goal.
