VANCOUVER – It was a fairly simple question, with a more complicated answer.
Less than an hour after the Winnipeg Jets had somehow, someway managed to sneak two points out of San Jose Thursday night – despite seemingly being under siege for long stretches of play – a Sharks reporter approached me in the press box.
He wanted my thoughts on why Winnipeg had looked so overwhelmed at times, the obvious result aside. It was his first up-close viewing this season of the Central Division leaders, and it's clear he expected to see more from the visitors, especially after they'd fallen to an inspired but lowly Los Angeles club two nights earlier.
