Ex-NHL forward John Scott roasts the Winnipeg Jets
Big words from the former All Star.

Since moving to Winnipeg to become the second edition of the Jets in 2011, the franchise has won a total of three playoff series. The closest they've come to the Stanley Cup was their run in 2018 to the Western Conference Final, where they were felled by the eventual conference champion Vegas Golden Knights in five games.
Following last season's 1st round loss to Vegas, the franchise appeared to be at a crossroads with what were the expected impending departures of Mark Scheifele and Connor Hellebuyck. However, both players shocked just about everyone by agreeing to long-term contract extensions.
But right now, with a dismal record of 1-3-1 to start the 2023-24 season, Winnipeg currently occupies the last spot in the NHL's Central Division. They also made headlines for their surprisingly low attendance numbers despite playing in a building with the League's second lowest capacity.
And jumping in to offer his assessment of the franchise overall is none other than former NHL All-Star forward John Scott, who infamously was voted into the annual event via a massive write-in campaign.
We all remember when the Capitals seemed as though they would never get over the hump of playoff success before everything finally came together in 2018. Are the Jets going to have that opportunity any time soon?
