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 2-2 on their 4-game homestand but probably needed to go 3-1 to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. Every loss at home just makes the task a lot tougher but this team never does things the easy way.
The Jets record is currently 22-19-8. They are still 7 points out of the final wildcard spot and sit sixth in the Central Division.
There is some good news though, the Jets have closed the gap on Nashville, LA, and Anaheim but they are still 7 points behind Dallas, the team they need to catch.
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. 
1. Jets: The Winnipeg Jets split their two games last week beating Arizona 3-1 in Glendale and then getting their asses handed to them 7-1 in Denver. Now the Jets play one game (vs Detroit) in the next eleven days with four games being postponed. The Jets record now sits at 16-12-5 and they are 2 points out of the last wildcard position.
