Must See: NHL captain calls out team and fans on social media
Keystone Press

The Winnipeg Jets were undoubtedly one of the most disappointing teams of the 2016-17 NHL season. With incredibly talented players like Mark Scheifele, Patrik Laine and Nikolaj Ehlers carrying the load up front and solid defenders like Dustin Byfuglien and Jacob Trouba on the back end, big things were expected of the Jets last season. Of course, goaltending was an issue as youngster Connor Hellebuyck struggled to take a step forward and the team failed to find it’s footing. This season however, the crease has been bolstered by the addition of free-agent veteran Steve Mason and team captain Blake Wheeler is excited to drop the puck on the 2017-18 season.

Just how excited is he? Check out this rallying cry from his Twitter account yesterday morning:


Hey Blake, quick question: what does “you know what” mean? All kidding aside, it’s clear that Wheeler has had enough waffling and is ready for the Jets to finally take the next step and compete for a playoff spot in 2017-18. What do you think? Are the Jets a serious playoff threat heading into the upcoming season?
