Winnipeg Jets: Is This Already Too Late? with Mike McIntyre

The Winnipeg Jets’ struggles continue after a frustrating 1–0 loss in St. Louis, and serious questions are starting to pile up.

Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press joins Andrew “Hustler” Paterson to break down what’s gone wrong, why the Jets aren’t making meaningful lineup changes, and whether the organization has waited too long to inject new energy from the Manitoba Moose. The conversation also dives into coaching decisions, loyalty vs. accountability, and the difficult Jonathan Toews situation as his role continues to shrink.

With the Jets slipping in the standings and urgency rising, McIntyre asks the uncomfortable question: are the Jets already past the point of no return?
