Mitch Kasprick is the “Motown Curmudgeon” aka “Motown Mitch”
Odds and Ends, Thoughts and Questions, from this past week in hockey –
Just so there’s no confusion when I’m spewing my bias, I am a fan of the Winnipeg Jets, Arizona Coyotes, Manitoba Moose, Winnipeg Ice, and all Team Canada Hockey teams.
I am NOT a fan of Gary Bettman or as I call him, Count Chocula. I am a big believer in the 7Ps. You’ve been warned.
1. Jets: The Winnipeg Jets went 1-2-1 on their 4-game road trip last week and finished the month of February with an underwhelming 5-5-2 record.
The good guys start off the month with four straight games at home and 10 out 16 in March.
The Jets record is currently 23-21-9. They are 6 points behind Dallas for the final wildcard spot and sit sixth in the Central Division.
The Jets play Montreal on Tuesday and Dallas on Friday. To say these two games are huge would be a massive understatement. These two games will could go a long way in determining whether Chevy sells at the deadline.
Four segments of 13 points will get the Winnipeg Jets to 95 points –
1. Jets: The Winnipeg Jets got their week off to a good start with a solid, fiesty, 2-0 effort versus the Minnesota Wild at home and then headed on the road for road games in Dallas and Nashville where they snagged 3 of 4 points and I dare say they should have had 4 points.
