NHL.com: Goaltending, youth movement among Jets’ X-factors. I missed this article from Patrick as well as the one above. Both good reads from him.
Jets news:
Winnipeg Free Press: Jets set? Far from it. (Paywall). I suspect after today we will be a lot closer to the Jets team you can expect to see in the regular season. Tim gives you an overview of camp hopefuls.
Winnipeg Sun: Jets smoked by Wild. A case of men vs. boys. Hopefully the Jets fans who made the trip south also caught the Vikings game earlier in the day.
MyToba: Jets youngsters bombed by Wild vets. While fans aren’t happy with the result they can probably rest easy knowing that the team will be fielding a more veteran lineup for their remaining pre-season games.
Minneapolis Star Tribune: Wild throttles Jets 8-1 at Xcel in preseason action. Ouch. Jets referenced as a JV team by the Wild beat writer.
Pioneer Press: Wild rout Jets 8-1 in exhibition laugher. Not much Minnesota nice in that beat down.
