Tonight’s scores have a personal touch as 3 Illegal Curve contributors (Richard, Adam and I) plus Charles S had the opportunity to attend the Detroit/Colorado game.  Amazingly the rivalry continues despite Colorado’s current position (15th in the West) and this was evident from the crowd size and noise.  I have included a clip from the shootout which won’t really showcase the goals but does show the fervor of Red Wings nation.

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.
