What went wrong for the Winnipeg Jets this season?
What went wrong for the Winnipeg Jets this season? Would you be surprised to see Scott Arniel back with the Jets next season? TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss.
The Helly injury was a big factor. This is the same old Jets 2.0 we have always seen minus some fire power from a year ago. It has never been an elite defense, it has always been rely heavy on the goaltender, then play hard for 15 or 25 min later on in the game to get across the line more often then not. You don't have that elite goaltending then you are not a playoff team, plain and simple.
Call it like it is. Coaching staff is not getting thru to these guys. Horrible positional hockey. Total rebuilding of the entire organization is needed.
HELLEBUYCK needs to go. He has too much influence on this team and coaches. Coaching is Weak. This team requires a Victor Tikanov style coach. Bowness was totally fair in calling out this team.
Lost way too much speed: Ehlers, Kupari, Appleton, Tanev. Didn't replace Ehlers' secondary scoring. Key injuries to Hellebuyck, Lowry, Pionk, Morrissey etc and not enough depth to in those spots to survive those losses. A terrible system from the coaching staff, getting outshot badly every night, often going into the 3rd period with single digit shot totals, poor special teams. Dragging the shells of washed up veterans like Nyquist and Niederreiter into battle every night instead of working some young guys into the lineup earlier in the season.

Oh well, go Oilers!

Jets should hire Bruce Cassidy

Its coaching….but bring coach back? This was a waste of time watching
Fire Cheveldayoff. New GM. New vision.
Your intern needs to double check their thumbnails. 😂
if they went 5-6 in that 11 game streak, theyd be in the playoffs
Ehlers
Soft and small up front…..and a bad top 4 dmen…..only Morrisey is a top defender
Arniel had success taking over what Bones built. Then went away from it et voila.
The worst choke job of the season
Embarrassing
HELLEBUYCK needs to go. He has too much influence on this team and coaches. Coaching is Weak. This team requires a Victor Tikanov style coach. Bowness was totally fair in calling out this team.
Don't forget, the defending Stanley Cup winner also missed the playoffs
Go to the box and feel shame
signing nyquist and toews were bad signings even as 1 year deals both past their prime
one step back, two steps forward
Poor free agent signings, poor coaching (Arniel is a loser), losing Ehlers was difficult.
Perf needs go! Dude is so sloooow!!
