It’s said a hockey season is like a marathon, a long and gruelling trek, as much about endurance as speed and skill.
The Winnipeg Jets 2015-16 marathon concludes Saturday night at Staples Center in Los Angeles, and when this crew takes its final step over the finish line the numbers on the official time clock will be ugly. And the pain from countless blisters and aching muscles will be mind-numbing.
The same could be said of those who have watched the Jets all season, teased through the first two-thirds of the season and then frustrated as reality set in for the final chunk.
