Commitment issues shattered Winnipeg Jets’ Stanley Cup final bid Globe_Sports
The Jets will spend the summer trying to figure out what went wrong after their devastating series loss.The record books will show that the Winnipeg Jets were officially ousted from the 2019 NHL playoffs with a 3-2 loss to the Blues in St. Louis on Saturday night.
“You’ve got to be careful with excuses, we got beat,” Jets coach Paul Maurice said gloomily after the Jets were ousted in Game 6 of the best-of-seven series. “I don’t think we had that sustainable gas for the whole series. I didn’t feel we had it coming into it, where we played as hard as we could for five games.
The Jets had just six shots over the first two periods, unable to respond to a heavy-hitting St. Louis outfit that skated them into the ground. Winnipeg forward Blake Wheeler responded with a curse when it was suggested to him that the Jets did not come armed with their A-game for Saturday’s pivotal encounter.
The seeds to Saturday’s loss were likely planted in Game 5 on Thursday night in Winnipeg when the Jets carried a 2-0 lead into the third period only to see the Blues win 3-2. Wheeler conceded that Winnipeg’s third-period implosion in Game 5 may have disrupted their already fragile psyche heading into Saturday.
