NHL Network | Gabe Vilardi talks joining the Winnipeg Jets

Video Description:
Gabe Vilardi is very excited to be playing for the Winnipeg Jets. He joined NHL Tonight to talk about his trade to the Jets.

Notable Quote:
“It’s cool. It’s awesome to see fans so passionate. They love the game and they love their team. So it’s going to be a cool experience and I’m really excited to play there.”

As an aside: I still kinda find it wild that the Jets franchise is now old enough in its re-birth that players “grew up” watching them on HNIC. Seems like just yesterday they were a team without a name and logo.

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.
