‘Tis The Season Over?
The Winnipeg Jets are on their holiday break, but there’s little to celebrate.
The team is searching for something — anything — to be thankful for after closing out a three-game road trip without a win against Central Division opponents, capped by a 4–3 overtime loss to the Utah Mammoth in Salt Lake City on Sunday night.
With the NHL schedule running through Christmas Eve, there’s a very real possibility the Jets could emerge on Boxing Day sitting dead last in the entire league.
At the unofficial halfway point of the season, it already feels as though the year is slipping away just 35 games into the schedule.
CJOB contributor and coach Dwayne Gylywoychuk joins Cam and Jim to examine how — if at all — this situation can be turned around, with a particular focus on how a veteran team continues to struggle to start games on time.
Buckle up for another fiery edition of Jets @ Noon.

I'm not asking for the whole thing. If these players could just give half a f*ck
Season was over a month ago
Nobody is ever on the hotseat with TN
Killer title boys. I hope we can pull it together but there's been a lot of rough games in a row at this point
For the most part their problems have been the starts. Among other things I'd stress playing lock down defense – don't worry about scoring – the entire first period. Then play a little more offensively the rest of the game. In other words play the first period like you'd play late in a game you're leading by one.
Worst record in the league since November 4th, and Toth still calls this a good team.
They are old, they are slow, and outside of one line and one defenseman, they can't produce offense consistently.
And what we saw in the last few minutes of regulation is one of the primary reasons Scheifele and Connor need to be split. They were gassed, constantly playing all those minutes together, which meant BOTH guys were gassed for the start of OT. The other 31 teams in this league break up lines regularly to get other players going. Why are the Jets so special where they don't need to?
Ask more of them? That's Toth's solution to finally get these unproductive guys going? He is delusional.
Toth “It’s not Chevy’s fault” coldest take in Winnipeg history.
This is not on Arniel, there are many factors… the decline in team speed, the acquisitions that have all be abject failures, players treating the 1st period like Friday nights beer league. Players need to be benched or sent to the Moose and rooks given an opportunity for experience
I now realize Ehlers is an amazing player.. and carried the second line.
I am willing to consider moving Barron to the second line. He looks motivated and can score.
You are what your record says you are. They are this team for a reason , they aren't good enough and that's on Chevy and no one else.
Jets are not coming back man they playing like trash
Lowry only has 1 goal in 20 games thats pathetic
Coach done. Send the old guys down. Bring young guys up
