Never mind a shot at redemption, it’s time for the Jets to stand up and be counted, to show what they’re really made of. WiebesWorld explains why Winnipeg knows they’ve got what it takes to shock the hockey world.
Why the eighth-seeded Winnipeg Jets know they’ve got what it takes to shock the hockey worldever mind a shot at redemption, it’s time for the Winnipeg Jets to stand up and be counted, to show what they’re really made of in what has basically been a tale of three seasons.
You’ve got Mark Scheifele, the first ever draft pick by the 2.0 version of the Jets, who rekindled his spark and eclipsed the 40-goal plateau for the first time in his career, finishing with 42 despite a late-season benching and a nine-game drought. Can Scheifele return to 2018 playoff form, where he delivered 14 goals and 20 points in 17 games?
An experienced voice with five decades in professional hockey as both a player and coach, Bowness was brought in to help provide some structure and additional accountability. The primary goal in replacing Paul Maurice and interim head coach Dave Lowry was to see if some tactical adjustments and a new voice would be enough to reignite a group that hasn’t gone on an extended run since — you guessed it — 2018.
“You know, it’s going to be fun. I’m close with LB. He’s still a good friend of mine. I know we’re going to talk about this for many years,” Hellebuyck told reporters in Winnipeg before the team departed for Las Vegas. “Everyone talks about experience. I have it now, you can say that. I don’t think I’m looking back at that year [2018] and saying that I need to do anything differently.
Golden Knights head coach Bruce Cassidy said Brossoit earned the nod with his stellar play down the stretch, which included a 7-0-3 record, a 2.17 goals-against average and .927 save percentage. “We’re hoping that LB takes the ball and runs with it. He’s played really well for us, so I don’t know why he wouldn’t,” said Cassidy. “Those are the guys that you root for, the hard-working guys who are true pros and [require] no maintenance. You hope they get their opportunity and here it is.
Hellebuyck’s overall body of postseason work is impressive, including a 2.46 goals-against average and .922 save percentage
