The Winnipeg Jets are an A+ organization but that doesn’t mean they get a chirp-free pass. Let’s face it… The Jets, and city of Winnipeg are both not perfect.
Sure, they’re nearing the top of the North division standings and are looking at a third straight postseason appearance, but there are still plenty of jokes that can be said about this team. We’re starting this new series here are BarDown where we think of five chirps for each Canadian NHL team and couldn’t think of a better team to start off with than the one from smack down the centre of the country.
Let’s get things going.
5) “Does Winnipeg even have wifi?”
Never forget when former San Jose Sharks defenceman Justin Braun questioned whether Winnipeg actually had wifi or not. One of the dumbest things ever said about the city, guess this one is more of a chirp on him?
4) “Your blue line is so much worse than it was in 2018 lol”
Straight facts. That blue line included Dustin Byfuglien, Jacob Trouba, Ben Chiarot and Tyler Myers. They’re all gone now. Neal Pionk and Josh Morrissey now anchor the blue line, with Derek Forbort and Tucker Poolman in the mix.
Not ideal.
3) “it’s still snowing in your city”
The sad reality is that not many players want to go to a market where it snows in April. Word on the street is it keeps getting warmer and then BANG! A fresh new coat of powder has been covering the city. Pretty unfortunate for both the players and fans.
2 ) “The Oilers own you @$$*S
The Jets have a winning record against every team in the North division EXCEPT the Oilers. They would square off against Edmonton if the playoffs started today.
1 ) “How’s Laine doing”
Just hit Jets fans where it hurts. When you draft a player second overall, you don’t expect them to dip after four years.
Sorry Jets fans, but don’t worry. Other teams will be getting chirped in the near future!
