Note: There will be more playoff hockey in Winnipeg as the Moose won their first round series with the Admirals on Sunday by a final score of 2-1 in a battle that was fierce right to the end of regulation. The antipathy on display late in the game (and really all series long) turned to respect during the handshake line seconds later.
Note II: Manitoba advances to face Grand Rapids who finished the season as the top team in the Western Conference which sets up as a David vs. Goliath series. It gets underway next weekend in Winnipeg (full five-game schedule is here). We will have this series covered top to bottom so be sure to keep it locked here. The Moose are off today.
Note III: Perhaps you have a Jets or Moose related question. If you do Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Free Press are accepting questions today for this month’s mailbag. Please send them a DM via social media to submit one to them.
