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.
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. 
1. Jets: The Winnipeg Jets lost their only game last week to the Philadelphia Flyers (3-1) and sent their fanbase into full tilt mode. Most Jets fans were already on the ledge but this loss really was the tipping point. The Jets record sits at 18-17-7 and they are 9 points out of the final wildcard spot and sixth in the Central Division. 
1. Jets: The Winnipeg Jets fanbase including myself were not in a very positive mood after Thursday night’s fiasco at home versus Vancouver and just when you’re ready to write them off they come up with a performance that makes no sense. The good guys defeated St. Louis 4-1 on the road in one of the better games they’ve played in weeks. Go figure. The Jets record sits at a very underwhelming 18-16-7 and they have lots of work to do after the All-Star break to take a run at a wildcard spot. The Jets are 5 points out of the last wildcard spot and worse yet they have to climb over 5 teams. I’m not going to lie, it’s a tall order.
