If you haven’t been paying attention to the Winnipeg Jets, you can rest assured that you’re not the only one. My very unscientific recollections involve a great deal of Tuesday nights and Sunday afternoons, and very few games with a surpassing amount of excitement.
Those recollections, however, are beginning to be challenged by an electric forward core that’s driven by the NHL’s fourth leading point scorer and second leading goal scorer. Mark Scheifele, Patrik Laine, and their Winnipeg teammates are making noise, and if you’re not on the receiving end, it’s easy to perceive it harmoniously.
I watched the Jets one month ago on their November 3rd trip to Washington.
