After advancing to Western final, talented Jets under pressure to go further
WINNIPEG — That was then and this is now for the Winnipeg Jets.
Captain Blake Wheeler and his teammates are taking that approach as the club prepares to follow up being on the doorstep of last season’s Stanley Cup final.
“When the puck drops this season, it’s not going to be Game 1 of the Western finals again,” Wheeler said after signing a five-year contract extension last month.
“There’s a long road to get back to where we got last year and it doesn’t happen just because we want it to happen or we think we’re better than everyone else or because we had a good year last year.”
