Well, the Winnipeg Jets uneven start is a little overplayed, but the fact of the matter is that this team expected to be playing for the President’s Trophy, the league lead in goals and, most importantly, the Stanley Cup.
They’re not nearing any of those goals quite yet. We know it’s in there. We just saw it a season ago. There were too many positives to chalk it up to a fluke. I don’t think anyone believes the Winnipeg Jets played over their heads last year.
But here we are, this season. Last year, through 22 games, the Winnipeg Jets were 14-5-3.
