Then they lost that game.

They lost it so bad in game three that everyone kind of felt like there was some panic, not around the team, but around the people covering the team.

And all of a sudden, there weren't many answers there.

I had known this because, A, I see a lot of the Colorado Avalanche covering the Winnipeg Jets.

And B, I had a couple of hockey night games down the stretch where the Jets played Colorado.

And what I do know is after the trade deadline, Jared Bednar had purposely just kept jumbling his lines.

And, you know, they were so far ahead in the league that they could do it.

They could kind of play around.

And he just wanted to say, he said, I don't want to leave any stone unturned, but I also want to expose everyone to everyone so that at some point in the year when I want to go to a place, it's not going to be like the first time.

And maybe we're going to be able to create some chemistry that people will go back to.

And I think that's what you saw last night.

Like they moved things around for a team that looked all of a sudden stale in game three.

And then it looked really fresh.

And the one thing that I do have to, that I take away from that is when you've got all these players and they've been told by their head coach in the last 20 games of the year that you're going to play with this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy's probably going to affect your stats a little bit.

Your job is to go get with that guy and show me what you can do.

When they weren't showing him anything in game three, the head coach, like I said, a blunt guy came out afterwards and basically said, we're not getting enough from our depth.

Like they didn't show up here tonight.

So because they're not giving it to me, I'm switching it around.

Maybe they'll do it now.

And credit, that game is a perfect example of a response by your depth players coming out and saying the coach said we weren't doing it.
