Jets on a Deadline – Canadiens 4 Jets 1

Game Stories:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets trounced by Habs, fall out of playoff spot.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets lose fifth straight game, no longer lead division.

National Post:  Michael Ryder, Canadiens stay hot handing Jets fifth straight loss.

NHL.com: Ryder’s pair leads Canadiens past reeling Jets.

Winnipeg Jets:  Not your Budaj.

Montreal Gazette:  Canadiens bounce back as Ryder scores twice.

Coach Noel post-game

– Our team game needs to be better. We didn’t score on power play and gave up 2 on the pk.

– (on falling to 10th): I don’t think you can expect to lose 5 straight games and expect things aren’t going to change

– (on Buff): I didn’t think he was very effective up front. We moved him out back but that went the way it went

– (on Buff) This isn’t the first time that they have put a puck at the net and he is standing beside the guy without taking stick, so after awhile you just can’t continue down that road. If you’re not going to make changes, don’t play!

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.
