Jets vs. Oilers Pre-Season Recap: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pre-season hockey is where the weirdness happens. The Winnipeg Jets took a brief visit to the city of Edmonton and played the local professional ice hockey team. Some things happened, both good and bad. Given that the Oilers iced a nearly-full starting line-up against Winnipeg’s squad of Moose-bound players and prospects, you can probably guess what happened.
