The Jets completed a miraculous Game 7 comeback against the Blues, and a referee and some players in a men's league celebrated during their game, too. Everyone who has a connection to Winnipeg will not forget their location on May 4, 2025.

Trailing 3-1 with more than three minutes to play in regulation, the Jets stood on the edge of another playoff collapse. The same narratives already were being written: Connor Hellebuyck isn't a playoff goaltender, the franchise isn't built for the big-game situations, and next year wouldn't have worked out differently to begin. And Cole Perfetti evened <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/winnipeg-jets/winnipeg-jets-forward-cole-perfetti-makes-history-with-clutch-game-7-goal' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>it up in the final 1.6 seconds</a>. Double OT saw Adam Lowry tip in to seal the comeback, and the carnage. It's nice to kind of have those questions put to rest, (about) can this team get out of the first round, Lowry said after Winnipeg's 4-3 win. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/SNstats/status/1919227711240765580'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <h3>A men's league celebration video went viral</h3> Excitement spilled out of the Canada Life Centre. During a Winnipeg men's league game, play even stopped midway through the game as officials and players converged on phones and cheered as the game-tying goal was scored by Perfetti and sent the game into the overtime session. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/scoutingtherefs/status/1919441796800688260'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/nhljets/status/1919444830301663469'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> In the arena, the executives for the team went wild as Assistant GM Larry Simmons and GM Kevin Cheveldayoff both stood up in the press box, and owner Mark Chipman was wiping away happy tears as he hugged his family. This was not merely a victory. This was a rebuke to the prior heartbreak, a reminder that Winnipeg CAN in fact be a perfect spot, all the more so following this franchise-defining victory that united a whole city in a split second.
