I'm not sure what people were expecting. Winnipeg's at the top of the league. If Lyon was on his game this could have been much closer, but that wasn't the case.

Clearly I'm in the minority but I take some positives from the last two games. 1st period against Edmonton and 2nd period in this one the team showed some positive signs.

Schedule will start to ease up a bit now. 5-4-1 would have been a great place to be, but 4-5-1 isn't a disaster.

November schedule is make-or-break because if they can't bank some points it's time to panic for real.

The bolded are ones that they need to win, which would result in a 7-6 record. Probably need to steal a few points elsewhere to really feel good about the month, but on paper that's more likely than it was in October.

This to me is the most worrying, if Kasper/Danielson aren't going to be at least 60-70 point producers the rebuild is in trouble

AlJo had a brutal game. The team can't afford him having too many of those stinkers.
He wasn't the only one, for what it worth, chalk it up as a team as a team learning experience, better to have these games now and hopefully be more resilient throughout the year.

I still expect them to be in the hunt for a spot in the playoffs in April, but we are still a few years away from being the team SY envisions.

Given the wing's season starting schedule, some were predicting the wings could start the season at 1-9...being close to 0.500 and still in the hunt after the first 10 games is a glimmer of hope, but they do have to start showing up for games.

Hopefully, the flu has now run its course and we can see what they are, but you know the Jets were going to come out flying and showing no mercy after their first loss, and from what I watched last night, the wings were not there and ready for the challenge from the drop of the puck against a now 9-1 team.

Time for the team leaders to show up take over.
