I should write something controversial here so the Mods lock this thread and end the agony of this 2025/2026 season for our Winnipeg Jets. So here it goes: I'm currently reading Moby **** and am about 150 pages in and I'm finding it's an incredibly easy read said no one ever. That should do it. Mods lock away.

Dagger night indeed. Am interested in what Chevy will say after autopsy is completed. Hopefully commits to something aggressive in re-tooling in the off season. At least the Leafs are joining us on the golf course, buffers it a bit.

All I hear when I read Canucks is Sedin sisters. :)

I think your last sentence sums it up the best.

Countdown to our Jets ripping our hearts out and stomping all over it 3 …. 2 …… 1 or Go Jets Go never in doubt :)

Not to mention the fact wtf were the coaches, medical team doing here? He shouldn’t have been given options. He should have been given one option: surgery.

And as a result (oh look so close stay the course) mask and deflect attention away from the real issues that need addressing.

At the very least restrict the number of no go teams a player can identify e.g three teams max.

Fair points but still no cup. That’s just the true traditionalist fan straight arming the business side out talking.

The bolded part of your comment sounds like a nice out for Chevy, as in 'hey we want to win the cup every year but let's be realistic we're a small market Canadian team that has to work harder than most other teams with one arm tied behind it's back so it aint going to happen unless the moons align perfectly so until then be patient, support us by our merc we're doing the best we can but there are many things out of our control. So in fact it's not a goal to win it all every year but more just be competitive enough be entertaining enough to ensure a healthy profit is turned. All good but don't tell us something that isn't true. Professional sports is a business it's all too complicated for us simpletons to understand. Gag.

My favorite MLB team back in the day. Sort of sweet if they came back to temper some of the glow the BlueJays give off.

Who?

Insert previous OC under the bus?

Confused as to why I'm not seeing W as the predicted winner for every year for the next 50 years. Weird. Knew AI was a joke. This proves it.

The thing that I question is expectations. It seems that the Toronto Maple Leafs have higher expectations than the Winnipeg Jets.

Not having any of the behind the scenes info on this really aids in this move making no sense. Wow. What a tough gig being a professional head coach.

Debbie Downer here. They’re past the point of no return. Worst scenario is they’ll finish just outside of the playoffs negating a high draft pick and continue the illusion of not needing a significant re-tool, just need some slight tweaks. Or as I lower my debbie downer glasses and go all in they surge into the playoffs and win it all. :)

They tease, they tease then bam! rip the ole heart out causing palms of hands to cover eyes while mumbling why do I do sports so much, find another hobby.

Worst thing that can happen is we finish just outside the playoffs from a draft point of view and lessening the urgency to do a major retool for next year. We’ve entered that no mans land as in too late to tank and the odds are against us in slipping into the playoffs.

Yup. Let’s go ZC. Absolutely no excuses this year.

Wow a 30 point difference from last season. A gradual drop off it is not. I’m hoping for a thorough autopsy that reveals the true causes of death. Thought I’d go with the morbid approach on a glorious Monday that it is. :)

This coming season my man ZC is going to stay healthy, light it up, lead us to Grey Cup victory and retire on top. At the very least it feels good writing this. Off season hope.

I know you’re probably just using it as an example, but it’s not just one player. The whole dna of this team is Chevy and company’s doing. He’s done a lot of great things with the challenges of a being a small market team but with everything comes a shelf life.
