Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Jets need help, and need it now. That headline reminds me of the JG Wentworth jingle “I have a structured settlement and I need cash now”. The Jets also need something and I’m not sure JG is gonna be able to help them out.

Winnipeg Free Press: Lack of secondary scoring Jets’ biggest problem, says legendary coach. (Paywall). Not sure you have to be a legendary coach to come up with that assessment. Snark aside Mike caught up with former NHL bench boss Bruce Boudreau to discuss what’s wrong in Winnipeg.

The Athletic Winnipeg: How the Jets can save their season (and when you’ll know if they’ve failed). (Paywall). Murat offers you “more cowbell” and a host of other thoughts he’s mulled over as this season has gone anything but picture perfect.
