WINNIPEG -The vibe around the exit meetings at the conclusion of the Winnipeg Jets 2018-19 season was much different than a season ago.
But if you ask head coach Paul Maurice, this season may have been more beneficial to the young Jets roster than making it all the way to the Western Conference Final in 2018.
"I think we've probably learned a hell of a lot more this year than we learned last year about how hard this thing is and the sacrifices that our group - as a pretty gifted offensive group - have to make to the overall team winning," Maurice said.
That doesn't take the sting out of the First Round loss to the St. Louis Blues, which wrapped up two nights ago at Enterprise Center in Game 6.
