After Ten Games Here's Ten Notes On The Winnipeg Jets

11/01/2014 at 8:41am EDT

from Ed Tait of the Winnipeg Free Press,

- How many Jets fans and media actually cheer for Ondrej Pavelec to fail now, as part of some sort of "I told you so" narrative? I keep saying/writing this, but it seems like every goal against has become a referendum on his career.

- FYI: the Jets after 10 games this year 4-5-1. And after 10 games last year: 4-5-1. Since opening 9-2 under Paul Maurice last year the Jets are 13-15-6. There is something there in terms of systems and the buy-in, but the results look the same.

- Nobody asked me, but this Dustin Byfuglien hybrid thing — playing wing regularly and dropping back to the point on the power play and for 4-on-4 — is the best use of his talents and ice time.

- The stat line from the Jets fourth liners — Jim Slater, Chris Thorburn, T.J. Galiardi, Matt Halischuk, Anthony Peluso — after 10 games: 38 GP (combined) with zero goals and zero assists.
