We can look back at the eight games and give the Jets a letter grade on the season-long stay at Canada Life Centre -- a C+ at best.
When you looked at the schedule for the Winnipeg Jets at the beginning of the season, you saw an eight-game homestand that lasted the better part of three weeks to kick off the month January.Now that it has passed, and the Jets have embarked on a two-game road trip through Utah and Colorado, we can look back at the eight games and give the Jets a letter grade on the season-long stay at Canada Life Centre.
Each team, each night, with the incredible parity in the NHL, can beat you. Another lesson: the Jets still have lots to learn. Saturday’s game, a 3-1 loss to Calgary, while a fantastic effort for Winnipeg, still presented a moment that may just present itself in the playoffs — a desperate team taking away the Jets’ bread and butter, forcing them to find a new way to beat them.The Jets also should have learned from “best-so-far” performances against Colorado and Vancouver that they’re a darn good hockey team.
So, while the homestand may be a C+ at most, the notes in the margins might lead to an A or an A+ when the Jets end their regular season in April.Raptors learning ahead of season’s second half
