Jets on a Deadline – Wings 7 Jets 1 (Dec 10, 2011)

Final Score:  Red Wings 7 Jets 1.

It is with good reason the Wings are 12-2-1 at Joe Louis Arena.  Aside from a quick goal 35 seconds into the 1st period the Jets were never really in control.  The Wings bombarded the Jets all night, resulting in Pavelec getting pulled in the 3rd period.  Surprisingly the Jets outshot the Wing 30-29.

Game Recaps:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets crushed in motor city.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets crashing in Detroit.

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.
