Winnipeg Jets
Lucky #7
I really think this is blown out of proportion.
We've dramatically improved our numbers, specifically PK, over the last 4 -5 games.
We've been losing 1 goal games, and I know people arel ike "oh my god they played like garbage!" but honestly, if they played the exact same way but won the games, you wouldn't hear that at all.
I think i might have to stay away from GDT and Post games for a while...too many manic depressives.
The problem is that losing one goal games is still losing no matter which way you spin it. There's a lot of questions to be asked about this roster and even the coaching staff right now. Why is it that this team looks to have taken a step back instead of progressing forward?
Do these core group of players know what it is to win these types games? I liked how Noel said the Bruins know how to win, they relax themselves and find a way to get back into the game. I don't know if I can confidently say that this group minus a couple of players knows how to do this. It seems like when they hit a snag they just get down on themselves.
The leadership really needs to step up here and kick this team into high gear, the problem is that it's a team effort. Everyone needs to contribute and from what I've seen there are a lot of passengers.
PS: I'm one of the optimistic "wait and see" type of guys but it's nice seeing this situation and evaluating it from different perspectives.
