Sure, its early, but there are already several potential roadblocks emerging in what many Winnipeg Jets fans no doubt hoped and dreamed would be a smooth ride through the regular season, into the playoffs and right to the Stanley Cup final.
At first blush, the 2-2-0 start seems perfectly respectable given the tough terrain the Jets have had to navigate right out of the starting blocks. Playing a pair of road games against division rivals, coming home to face a two-time champion, and then heading back into enemy territory against a hostile foe that likely spent months dreaming of revenge is a tall task for any team, even one as talented as the Jets.
