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 1-1-1 last week and are falling further behind in their chase for the last Wildcard spot.
The Jets record currently sits at 24-22-10 and they are 8 points behind Nashville for the final wildcard spot and sit sixth in the Central Division.
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. 
In a year that has gone off the rails, it makes sense to me to start the retooling right now. 
1. Jets: The Winnipeg Jets went winless on this road trip, bookending two losses with an overtime loss and a shootout loss. It’s hard to be overly critical with the effort in most of the games but this team just lacks any type of killer instinct. They have had multiple chances to extend leads but they let teams hang around and eventually lose. The Jets record sits at 17-14-7 and they are 3 points out of the last wildcard position.
