Winnipeg Jets & Farm Team Collective Performance 2011-2013

by Chris Billows in Jets Flight Control 0 comments tags: Jets Farm Team, Jets Improvement, Minor League Stats
The professional hockey world shifted a bit when Atlanta Thrashers relocated to become the Winnipeg Jets. Not only did the NHL get affected, but so did the minor league affiliations which needed to be reestablished. Atlanta had affiliations with the Chicago Wolves of the AHL and the Gwinnett Glaidiators of the ECHL. Those were ended in the summer of 2011 when Winnipeg established a new affiliation hierarchy by forming a new team in St. John’s and establishing an agreement with a new ECHL team, the Colorado Eagles. The purpose of this post is to track how the three teams have risen and fallen along side each other to see if there is any pattern.   2011-12 Regular Season Team G W L OTL P Win % GF GA Division Finish Season Change    Colorado Eagles (ECHL) 72 38 28 6 82 52.78% 250 252 2nd, Mountain -7.83 pp * ↓   St-Johns IceCaps (AHL) 76 43 25 8 94 56.58% 240 216 1st, Atlantic — **   Winnipeg Jets (NHL) 82 37 35 10 84 45.12% 225 246 4th, Southeast +3.66 pp *** ↑ * same team from CHL, but considered to be an expansion franchise for the ECHL.

Social Network Marketing for IP

by Chris Billows in Business Beller 0 comments tags: Blogging, Boot-Strapping, Branding
Where We Are At I am sure I am not alone with the struggle about when does an IP (intellectual property) or product you are going to release need its own Twitter account? Its own Facebook Page? Google+ Page? The reality is that the internet has become more complicated. It used to be that all you needed to do is throw up a website and submit your domain address to the Search Engines. Now the internet is starting to carve itself into silos. No longer is your web browser the only way to use content now that the world wide web is being carved up by iOS Apps, Android Apps and now by closed networks in the form of Facebook and various other services. Each of the social networks appears to have a niche to appeal to. Facebook is by its initial nature is a place to share personal stories, profiles, and pictures. Twitter is really about following the news makers. Its one-way communication is vibrant though where it really shines is the moments of punctuated dynamic conversations with the hashtag (#) aligning diverse interests. Because of immense volume of tweets, it is really easy for your message to get […]

by Chris Billows in Jets Flight Control 0 comments tags: Atlanta Thrashers Relocation, Jets Goalie Stats
The Jets are entering into their third season in Winnipeg after the franchise spending eleven seasons in Atlanta as the Thrashers. So it is not surprising to see that the Franchise Leaders for Skaters and Goalies are made up of mostly former Atlanta players. Below are Franchise leaders from 1999 to 2013 according to points, games, plus/minus, penalty minutes, wins, save percentage, and shut outs. Scater Franchise Leaders by Points Player  Cur.

Emotions Are Not A Compass

by Chris Billows in Spirit Speculations 0 comments tags: Components of Human Nature, Human Condition
Emotions are powerful experiences. They can have the subtle feeling of a gentle breeze or the violence and power of a hurricane. And its no coincidence that my analogies are references to weather. I see emotions being the equivalent to an internal weather system. They change and can be fleeting. Its for this reason I see emotions having an important role in one’s life, but should never be used to guide you. Emotions cannot guide, they are not a compass. They are more like a temperature gauge. So whatever emotions you experience you need to remember to 1) not take them too seriously since they will change like the weather, and 2) never use them as a compass but instead use your intelligence and wisdom.

Winnipeg Jets Total Scoring & Goaltending Leaders from 2011 to 2013

by Chris Billows in Jets Flight Control 0 comments tags: Jets Goalie Stats
After each season I will update the Winnipeg Jets total scoring for every player who has ever suited up for the team since it moved from Atlanta in 2011-12. This post covers the first two years of the Jets in Winnipeg. It also helps address the curiosity I have as to what ever happened to those players who used to play for the Jets but were let go or got traded as I list where they are currently. What you see below is the combined player scoring stats and goaltending stats  from 2011 to 2013 which is the Jets first two NHL seasons in Winnipeg. If you are interested, I have also collected the individual yearly scoring leaders for 2012-13, 2011-12, and the last season the team was in Atlanta in 2010-11. Player  Cur. Loc. Pos  From  To  Team GP G  A  P +/-  PIM  PP  SH  GW  GT  OT  Shots  1 Blake Wheeler WPG R 2011-2012 2012-2013 128 36 69 105 0 83 8 0 5 0 0 337 2 Andrew Ladd WPG L 2011-2012 2012-2013 130 46 50 96 2 86 7 0 10 0 2 386 3 Evander Kane WPG L 2011-2012 2012-2013 122 47 43 90 […]

St-John’s IceCaps 2012-13 Farm Team Scoring

by Chris Billows in Jets Flight Control 0 comments tags: Jets Farm Team, Minor League Stats
The Winnipeg Jets established a new team with their existing AHL franchise in St-John’s, Newfoundland in 2011-12. The St-John’s IceCaps were a brand new team (even though the franchise moved from Winnipeg) since all of the players belonged to the Vancouver Canucks parent club. The team had a winning season, went far in the playoffs, and were loved by the Newfoundland and Labrador fans. With the St.John’s IceCaps being the primary farm team for the Winnipeg Jets, I thought it would be useful to review how the IceCaps did in their second season as a new team and track how many of those players contributed to the Winnipeg Jets in 2012-13.   # Name Pos GP Min GA SO GAA W L SOL SA SVS SAV% NHL GP NHL SA 1 Eddie Pasquale G 43 2452:57:00 114 4 2.79 15 23 4 1223 1109 0.907 * 2 Chris Carrozzi G 3 150:10:00 7 0 2.8 1 1 0 58 51 0.879 3 Mark Dekanich G 35 1913:47:00 95 2 2.98 16 14 1 909 814 0.895 * 4 Juho Olkinuora G 1 59:29:00 3 0 3.03 0 1 0 25 22 0.880 Empty Net 37:57:00 13 13 * indicates Rookie […]
