The Winnipeg Jets have captured the NHL's Presidents' Trophy, however, there has always been a curse associated with it, and some fans are a little worried. Dylan DeMelo could no longer remain silent. With his <a href='https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3266575' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Winnipeg Jets capturing the Presidents' Trophy</a>, 32-year-old veteran DeMelo was all in now, with his ultimate goal of winning a Stanley Cup. No, not really, to be honest, DeMelo said after Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. I think we want to be the first Canadian team since '93 to win the Cup. That's what we're here for. Yes, there is pride in being the first Canadian team to win the Presidents' Trophy since the 2011-12 Canucks, but DeMelo's head, that of everyone else's in the Jets' room, is on the playoff season. Their hard-nosed brand of play has been their rhythm for their league-leading campaign. Winnipeg does not just content themselves with piling up wins or occupying first place. <h3>The Jets have been eliminated in the first round for two years in a row</h3> After two first-round playoff losses, all year long, it's been building a spring-like game, a spring hockey mentality that endures. Canada Life Centre was filled with applause as the Presidents' Trophy victory was announced. Appreciation is definitely there, yes, but so too is belief in something bigger. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/TSN_Sports/status/1911586985132572811'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Still lingering in everyone's head, however, is the so-called Presidents' Trophy curse. Not a single team that was a regular-season champion since the 2012-13 Blackhawks have captured a Stanley Cup. <img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/549356.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /> It is a moment that causes fans to bite their tongue in eager anticipation, aware that with an overall best record usually comes <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/winnipeg-jets/winnipeg-jets-projected-lineup-for-the-stanley-cup-playoffs-revealed' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>high expectations in the playoffs</a> as well as mounting pressures. We're still going to be judged on what happens from Game 83 on, Jets coach Scott Arniel said. There's still lots to happen and hopefully there's a long story to go with that and it gets to be a two-and-a-half-month-long story. And for this Jets team, however, the regular season wasn't the goal, but an interlude on the way to Game 83, not to mentiomn further.
