CBC:  Jets fever everywhere.  Was out for breakfast this morning and there were at least 3 or 4 guys wearing Jets hats or shirts.  The city is gripped with the fever.

Around the NHL:

Yahoo Sports:  Mike Modano isn’t aware he’s supposed to be retired now.  Having watched him play in Detroit I actually thought he still was able to contribute but I would agree that he could have had one of the best exits from the game in history had he retired following the Dallas Star/Minnesota Wild game in which he donned a North Stars jersey and saluted the crowd.

Montreal Gazette:  Plenty of off season action this summer.  Red Fischer takes a look at all the moves in the Eastern Conference and how it might affect each team.  Doesn’t appear he thinks much will happen in Winnipeg, aside from jubiliation for the team’s return.

National Post:  Shannahan prepares for new role as NHL disciplinarian.  Its like putting the fox in charge of the hen house as Shanahan was known for breaking a rule or two back when he played.  Of course knowing the ins and outs of League justice might help in his new position.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
