Winnipeg Coach Not Happy With Team Play

from Ed Tait of the Winnipeg Free Press,
Winless in three tries and in a terrible nosedive to open the season, the Jets are both perplexing and vexing their boss. And the man who stepped up to the podium following Sunday’s optional skate at the MTS Centre looked and sounded nothing like the jovial sort who entertained everyone prior to the historic Oct. 9 opener.
“If I look at the three games and the way they went… are we achieving to the level that I think we should be? The answer would be no, we are underachieving. We are way below the bar,” Noel said Sunday in a tell-itlike- it-is autopsy of his club.
“Why is that? Why are you, an NHL player, playing like an American league player? And it’s not one or two, it’s more than that. What has happened between last season, training camp and the start? Where did this go sideways? You can’t tell me this is what we are, because if anybody was enthusiastic about the season, I was. I believe we can be a playoff team.
“But we don’t look like one now.”
