Jets on a Deadline – Capitals 1 Jets 0 (Dec 15, 2011)

Final Score: Capitals 1 Jets 0

A slow game with an unexpected ending. A game that many thought would head to OT was lost when Alexander Ovechkin broke a scoreless tie with just over a minute to go in the 3rd period. This ended the Jets 4 game home winning streak.

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.
