Back to EpisodesMorrissey vs. Byfuglien: Who Would You Take?
Description
Josh Morrissey returned to the lineup Saturday night at Canada Life Centre after missing time with an injury suffered during the Olympics, and he made an immediate impact in the Winnipeg Jets 3–2 overtime win over the Vancouver Canucks.
Morrissey scored the game-winner in the extra frame and also picked up an assist on Gabriel Vilardi’s late goal that forced overtime.
Those two points moved Morrissey past Dustin Byfuglien on the Jets’ all-time franchise list for points by a defenseman, giving him 417.
So, it begs the question: who would you rather have on your team -- Morrissey or Byfuglien?
The guys give their thoughts and ask you, the listener, to weigh in.
Also, has the path to the postseason actually opened up for the Jets? Cam has crunched the numbers, and if things continue the way they have since returning from the Olympic break, Winnipeg could find itself back in the playoff picture. The margins, however, are razor thin, and there are no guarantees teams like the Los Angeles Kings, Nashville Predators, Seattle Kraken, and San Jose Sharks won’t find another gear -- especially with several head-to-head matchups still to come.
How many points can the Jets realistically afford to give up over their final 20 games?
All that and more on today’s edition of Jets at Noon.
