WINNIPEG — Disbelief seemed to be the overriding emotion among the Winnipeg Jets after their early exit from the NHL playoffs.
“I am truly kind of puzzled why it didn’t work because I really thought we had a really good group,” defenceman Dylan DeMelo told reporters Thursday as players met with the media before beginning their early summer vacations.
“We were rolling pretty good going into the playoffs,” winger Kyle Connor said. “You almost blink and it’s over. You can’t believe it. “We talked about reaching 110 points is something that they should be proud of but, to a man, they're all talking about they still wanted more,” Cheveldayoff said. “The standards that I had set for the team and myself, we didn't reach that standard. I put the onus on me to make sure that doesn't happen again.”
“When I got pulled to give me more rest, it was like a flood of emotions I had suppressed all series long and that was the realization that I can't do this alone,” Hellebuyck said.“It’s just the way my mentality is, I’m trying to put everything on my shoulders,” Hellebuyck said. “I don’t think that’s the right way to go about playoffs anymore.
