What was it that William Munny said in Unforgiven? “Deserve's got nothing to do with it.” That line summed up the feeling following Saturday's frustrating 4-3 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild. A missed penalty on a hit from behind by Joel Eriksson Ek on Josh Morrissey led to a retaliation cross-check call on Dylan DeMelo, wiping out what would have been an empty-net goal. Instead, Minnesota capitalized on a 6-on-4 advantage, scoring with just 22 seconds remaining before Matt Boldy ended it 39 seconds into overtime. Ugh. The most maddening part? The Jets actually played well. So what gives? Cam & Jim break down what went wrong, what still looked encouraging, and whether Winnipeg's recent stretch of close losses means progress is coming—or if it's just more of the same.
