Winnipeg Free Press:  Two thumbs up…way up.  Reporter Ed Tait gives his opinion on a subject that has the internet chatting, the new Jets logo.

Jets Nation:  Alex Burmistrov interview.  Excellent interview with the young Jet.  I especially enjoyed these questions/answers:

– Do you know that Winnipeg is the coldest city on the planet with population over 0.5 million?

I heard it was cold out there. But is it really colder than in Novosibirsk?

– It’s commonly referred to as “Winterpeg” for a reason.

Really? Well, ok. In my hometown, Kazan, it gets pretty cold too. So I’m not afraid. Besides, I can always buy a down-padded coat (laughter).

Global Winnipeg:  Jets gear nets $200k in sales.  Just imagine if True North had jerseys and all other sorts of merchandise to sell.

Around the NHL:

TSN:  Draper to announce retirement in Detroit on Tuesday.  The $1 man following his trade from Winnipeg to Detroit over 2 decades ago, he carved himself quite the niche in Detroit.  Was a great mentor to St. Andrew’s, Manitoba’s Darren Helm, who plays a similar style of game.

More after the jump including NHL goalies getting no respect, Top 25 Centres in the NHL and a video of Wild head coach Mike Yeo talking Minnesota hockey.

USA Today:  NHL goalies net less pay than forwards, defencemen.  Apparently goalies are the Rodney Dangerfield of the NHL, “they don’t get no respect”.

Yahoo (Puck Daddy):  Ranking the Top 25 Centres.  Doesn’t look like very good news for the Winnipeg Jets who failed to have 1 player crack this list.

5 Eyewitness News (Video):  Wild Coach Mike Yeo:

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.
