WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Never in the history of Winnipeg Jets 2.0 could a four-game road trip that included two wins be considered a mild disappointment.
In any other year, victories against the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks sandwiched around a pair of losses to the San Jose Sharks and Nashville Predators would be grounds for a civic holiday, popping the corks off every champagne bottle in the house and cartwheeling down the street.
But this is not any other year. This is the year the Jets have promised their fans -- and themselves -- a playoff spot.
