BREAKING: Seth Jones lets his frustrations with the Chicago Blackhawks be known
Seth Jones, now with the Chicago Blackhawks, has sparked some speculation about his long-term future with the team, especially given his recent remarks following a tough overtime loss to the Winnipeg Jets. The Blackhawks are in the midst of a rebuild, and Jones’ comments suggest he’s feeling some frustration.
After the game, Jones pointed to a brief lapse in focus that cost the team, and while speaking to reporter Mark Lazerus, he made some pointed remarks about the team’s overall effort since he was traded to Chicago. When Lazerus mentioned that it was the most structured the team had looked, Jones, with a chuckle, cut him off, saying, “…since I’ve been here, I think,” hinting at his dissatisfaction.
Seth Jones: "We played 59 great minutes. That's not gonna be good enough."
