With Christmas only days a few days away, here are the top three best gifts Santa could give Winnipeg Jets fans this Christmas.
When Christmas comes around each year people are always asked what they want for Christmas. What if hockey fans were asked what they want from their team on Christmas. I am sure fans of each franchise will have many different answers, but what are the top three gifts Winnipeg Jets fans could receive from Santa?
There are an infinite amount of things people could ask for from the hockey team they support. Looking ahead to the upcoming 2021 season, which is scheduled to kick off on January 13th, here are the top three gifts Winnipeg fans could get this Christmas:
3. A Healthy Team
Especially in the upcoming 56 game sprint season, injuries can really hinder a team and can be the difference between making the playoffs and missing out on them. The Jets noticed this last year in the qualifying round when both Mark Scheifele and Patrik Laine went down injured in Game one and missed the rest of the series.
After both star players went down, the Jets were not much of a match for Calgary and lost the best-of-five series three games to one against their rivals.
The 2021 campaign will be much like the playoffs, it will be a war of attrition. Whatever team can stay healthy and keep their star players fit will have the best chance to win in 2021.
The Jets need a healthy squad this upcoming campaign and that will fuel their chances of success in 2021.
