Jets news:
Winnipeg Free Press: To err is human, to forgive is coaching. No point in killing your team (in the media) for past mistakes. All you can do is use them as teachable moments moving forward and hope they don’t repeat themselves.
Winnipeg Free Press: Maurice has close eye on Jets lines heading into road games. There may be some more changes afoot if things don’t improve but it doesn’t sound like coach Maurice has hated what he has seen from his lines.
Winnipeg Sun: Keeping it light and loose despite two-game losing streak. There really does seem to have been an attitude adjustment with this squad as they are not allowing wins to get them overly excited and are reacting similarly to losses.
Winnipeg Sun: Record would be much better with even a half-decent power play. The running joke is the Jets are better off declining the power play than accepting it and continuing the futility. Clearly putting the special back into special teams and adding a goal or two could have a significant impact on game results.
