Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets believe in JetsThey may not be the prettiest wins in the league but at the end of the day all that counts is whether or not you have two points on the board as the final buzzer sounds.  After putting together five wins in last six, it isn’t just the Jets who are believing in the Jets, as you can add the fans to that list. 

Winnipeg Free Press:  Buff, Ladd dynamic duo in charge-and-score playIn order for the Jets to continue having success they need Buff to continue to be the dominant player fans know he can be.  We saw flashes of the old, non-injured Buff last night as he slowly gets back to formThe game winning goal he set up was a thing of beauty.
