Slow and steady loses this race, Jets GM says

EDMONTON — On your marks, get set, go! The architect of the Winnipeg Jets believes the group assembled here in Edmonton is capable of going on a lengthy run — but warned Tuesday they better be prepared to come flying out of the starting blocks.

"I think it’s important that we understand... you talk about a season and you talk about the regular season and you’ve heard it many, many times where it’s been referred to as a marathon. Well, we’d better be prepared to sprint because that’s what it is right now," general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said in a Zoom call from the team's base at the Sutton Place Hotel.
