Seems to me the Jets have had a run of bad luck with injuries to key players. Obviously they’re not a very good team but I think they might just pull out a playoff spot at the last minute if they can get/stay healthy.

We could sure use them!

The Jets are a good home team, but on the road their the Thrashers in Jets uniforms. Depth at D but a huge lack of goal scorers

In a related story if you have poop in your hand, you have issues.

Atlanta messed this up cause they were desperate for players so a guy like Burmistrov who should have been in the minors after being drafted is now struggling to find top 6 ice time.

People forget that Winnipeg inherited the Thrashers for a reason and now we are seeing why, this process will take time to build a winner, and it will happen because management knows what there doing in Winnipeg.
