TORONTO — Just like that foul odour caused by special something in your fridge well past its due date, the Winnipeg Jets’ Sunday performance in Montreal triggered the gag reflex of many observers.
Scowls were likely made by the Jets, too, after the 5-1 drubbing in which they didn’t much look like a team that had been to the playoffs last spring, or one that had won seven games this season.
Stuff happens.
Worth noting, the sun did come up Monday morning when the team opened the drapes in its Toronto hotel.
Next on the agenda is the response, and it’s something the Jets were already talking about 15 minutes after they failed to live up to their half of the hype in a national television broadcast touting, potentially, Canada’s two best NHL teams.
