Nino Niederreiter tops Winnipeg – here's what he says

Nino Niederreiter and the Winnipeg Jets couldn't be doing better in the NHL right now. Churer reaches another milestone. Niederreiter played his 900th regular-season game in the best hockey league in the world on Wednesday night, capping off his anniversary with two goals in a 3-0 home win over Utah Hockey.

Andres Ambühl and Mark Streit, among others, congratulated him. “It was a very cool night,” Niederreiter said during a video call with Swiss reporters. As a young boy, it was his dream to join the NHL and now he has played 900 games. “This is special.”

The powerful forward from Canton Graubünden won a third World Cup silver medal in May (“This medal is not as important to me as the first two”) and he has made a fantastic start to the season. In the first 13 games, he scored 7 goals and provided 5 assists. This is even more surprising considering he plays on the third line, whose main job is to control the opponent's top line. “We do a really good job at that. So the opponent takes more risk, which gives us a chance,” Niederreiter said.

Tinker

Scott Anil, who was promoted from assistant coach to head coach this season, has a system that fits his lines well, too. “Defensive work is extremely important to him. He takes the matchups on the board very seriously. That's good for us.”

Additionally, Niederreiter is always thinking about necessary things in the offseason as the league has grown tremendously. “Now there's one person who takes care of everything (sleep, nutrition, etc.).” His clubs are a little longer than last season. He completed more power skating units during summer training, and yoga was an important part of his preparation. And he can keep training. He feels the same way now.

Of course, it also helps that the entire team is functioning well. The Jets lost just one of their first 13 games. Niederreiter said they are now in a better position to implement the system. «The team is put together very well. We have one of the best goalies in the world in (Connor) Helleback. If you know there's a wall like this behind you, you're more likely to try something, especially the first two rows. “

last season as a warning

However, the Jets have been warned. They were the second-best team in the Western Conference qualifiers last season, with the same number of points as the eventual champion Florida Panthers. However, they lost significantly to the Colorado Avalanche in the first round of the playoffs (1:4).

“The playoffs are still far away,” Niederreiter said. The first goal is to achieve this goal as early as possible. “It's important to win now so we don't have to chase points later. We all know things can't continue like this all season. Teams like Nashville are currently performing below their potential and our performance could be slightly above their potential. We just want to keep riding this wave for as long as possible.” (NIH/NSA)

Old Trafford was built in 1910 and has been the venue for many major football matches over the years. However, the stadium is in desperate need of renovation. Manchester United fans would rather move to a new stadium than renovate it, a fan survey has revealed.

Old Trafford is a household name to every football connoisseur. Manchester United has played its home games at this legendary stadium for nearly 115 years. But the ground needs to be renovated – otherwise the Red Devils will build a new stadium and relocate.
