Winnipeg Jets Dave Ellett Scores In 2OT 1990 HIGH QUALITY

The Date was April 10th/1990 at the Winnipeg Arena. The Winnipeg Jets were leading the Smythe Division Final VS The All Mighty Edmonton Oilers and This goal will go down in History as one of the greatest ever scored at the Winnipeg Arena. Jets Defenseman Dave Ellett ignites the "Sea Of White" with his goal in Double Overtime putting the Jets up 3-1 in the Series after Reijo Ruotsalainen takes a costly penalty hooking Thomas Steen from a Breakaway opportunity. Unfortunately for the Jets, this was just not their year either as Edmonton would come back and win the next three games knocking the Winnipeg Jets out of the 1990 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

I remember watching this game on TV. I also remember watching the Jets last game ever on a Sunday afternoon. It was heartbreaking. Little did I know that I would get to experience that feeling when my Sonics left Seattle in 2008. I hope in the next few days to hear the Jets are returning to Winnipeg! Go Jets Go!

@yakima6 Well, this wasn't their last game but...I know what you mean.

Bring'Em Back!

what round was this?

[JHendrix70]

Round 1. This goal put the Jets up 3-1 in the series however; they would collapse and lose the next 3 games to end the series...

Winnipeg the NHL is back!

Love the guy at 2:31 "beatin' the traffic". Haha. He better not sit in section S at the Bomber games!

@NorthEndBlues No doubt that when Don Wittman died,he could have never guessed that his beloved Jets would return to town a little over 3 years later.

@jacklayton34 I actually thought the jets had this series after they won this game.Even though the Oilers had won Game 5,I still thought they were toast after going back to the whiteout at Winnipeg Arena 2 nights later.

It sucked always having to face the oilers in the first round back in the 80s, what chance did we have? This was as close as we ever came. GO JETS GO!

Congrats on getting Jets back home. When favored team is pushed to a Game 7 in 1st round like this it usually means they have been exposed as fatally flawed and can't win Cup unless there is some legitimate explanation. For Oilers it was probably anxiety of playoff debut for Ranford replacing injured Fuhr in goal. He let 6 goals in Game 1 loss but got stronger as series went on. Oilers offense not showing up for Game 3 after crucial Game 2 win in OT not did help shorten the series either.

Horray for the Celtics jersey at 1:57!

I never get tired of watching this. I remember sitting on the basement sofa in Minnesota watching this game...One of the best hockey games I've ever witnessed. Welcome home Jets!!
