It might be too soon for an autopsy on this season for the Winnipeg Jets<\/a>, because a) the season isn\u2019t over, and b) there\u2019s still a chance for the playoffs.<\/p>\n But that doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t identify the symptoms this team has consistently shown all season long as one of the NHL\u2019s<\/a> biggest disappointments. And what\u2019s even more evident for this team is that the moment everyone is able to identify an issue, another issue pops up.\u00a0 It\u2019s a little bit like head coach Scott Arniel and his staff are constantly playing Whack-A-Mole.<\/p>\n Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n Tuesday night, against a very good Anaheim team,<\/a> there was little or no energy for most of the game.\u00a0 Let\u2019s face it, it was anemic. Thirteen shots on goal, no urgency. The Jets had no right to even be in the game \u2014 and they weren\u2019t. The Ducks are a very good team on the rise, which is not the case for Thursday night\u2019s opponent, the New York Rangers,<\/a> who have already declared they are rebuilding, again, for the second time in six seasons.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tGet daily National news<\/p>\n Get daily Canada news delivered to your inbox so you’ll never miss the day’s top stories.<\/p>\n In fact, the Rangers aren\u2019t nearly as good as the Jets. But you wouldn\u2019t know that by the results at Canada Life Centre. Even though there was a ton more energy and more speed from Winnipeg, the result was exactly the same. It was a loss, the second in this eight-game home stand that will, once and for all, decide whether or not the Jets can even contemplate trying to sell playoff tickets.<\/p>\n Sure, they limited the shots on goal by the Rangers, but they certainly didn\u2019t limit the scoring chances by Mike Sullivan\u2019s team. Too many giveaways in their own zone were evident all night long, which started just 1:08 after the opening faceoff, and forced the Jets to play from behind most of the night.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tMore on Sports And once again, it was a poor third period that doomed the home team. Outscored 4-1 in the third, Winnipeg has now been outscored this season by almost 30 goals after the second period. Frankly, this team has no consistency.<\/p>\n Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n Period to Period. Game to Game.\u00a0 No Consistency.<\/p>\n And I\u2019m not sure you can point a finger at any one player for the team\u2019s demise. There\u2019s enough blame to share with everyone in that room.<\/p>\n \n\t\t© 2026 Global News, a division of Corus Entertainment Inc.\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Descrease article font size Increase article font size It might be too soon for an autopsy on this…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":501414,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5121],"tags":[5,78,4,43,77,18,387,5288],"class_list":{"0":"post-501413","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-winnipeg-jets","8":"tag-hockey","9":"tag-jets","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-winnipeg","13":"tag-winnipeg-jets","14":"tag-winnipeg-sports","15":"tag-winnipegjets"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116222469206686618","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=501413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/501414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=501413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=501413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=501413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Get](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/national.jpg\")
