Winnipeg Jets kick off homestand with 4-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets

For the eighth time this season the Jets are involved in a 4-1 game although tonight it’s as a loss with the Blue Jackets taking this one to drop Winnipeg to 20-9-0.

Notable:

The Royal Canadian Air Force band was awesome. May have been the best thing happening inside Canada Life Centre all night long.

Jets captain Adam Lowry (and a number of other players) wore ‘I Salute’ hats during warm up for tonight’s Canadian Armed Forced Appreciation Night.

Sean Monahan was ‘welcomed’ back to Winnipeg which seemed muted from both the crowd and the player.

Bob Odenkirk, who was filming Nobody 2 in Winnipeg and is now filing an indie film (Normal), was put on the Jumbotron as his Celebrity Look Alike here at the Jets game.

Too many free pizzas from Winnipeg and the team just didn’t have it as they fell 4-1 to the Blue Jackets.
