Jets news:

Globe and Mail:  Jets take aim on division leadTonight can be a statement game for the Jets, especially if they can come out quickly against the Flyers.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Noel focusing on the game tonight, not standingsExpect more of the same “tonight is about 2 points” and you cannot really blame the Jets coach for maintaining this approach.  No need to provide your division opponents with chalkboard material.

Winnipeg Sun:  Shooting for top spot in the SoutheastThe problem for the Jets and the reason that coach Noel is loath to discuss the standings is that the teams they are trying to catch (i.e. Florida)  still has 3 games in hand on Winnipeg.

TSN:  Jets aim to sweep season series with FlyersThe games these two teams have played have been all over the place.  When asked what he might expect in the fourth and final game between the two, Jaromir Jagr said with a laugh, “who knows, a blowout maybe”.

Globe and Mail:  Jim Slater in outer spaceBefore he heads off to space, the Jets need him on the ice winning faceoffs and helping his GST linemates tax the opposition.

Winnipeg Free Press:  A game in the life of off-ice officialsAn interesting look at guys who are never given the spotlight.

Illegal Curve:  “Will Ezzy wake up early?” charity challengeStay tuned to find out but in the mean time, donate money to a good cause.

Audio:

Jets practice:  Wheeler, Little, Glass, Stuart, Wellwood and Mason.

Flyers practice:  Hartnell, Giroux, Jagr and coach Laviolette.

Coach Noel.

Next opponent news – Philadelphia Flyers:

CSN Philly:  Flyers-Jets game a playoff previewAs Jaromir Jagr told media today, who knows what is going to happen when these two teams meet.  If the Jets finish in 3rd and the Flyers in 6th, wouldn’t that make for an interesting 1st round matchup.

Philadelphia Daily News:  Jets have Flyers numberWhile the games have been close the Jets are going for the sweep tonight over the orange and black.

NHL.com:  Bryzgalov injures hand in practiceWhile Flyers coach Peter Laviolette did not reveal if the injury was serious or who his starting goalie would be tonight, you have to wonder about the Karma.  While many have moved past the goalie’s remarks from last season, there remain some Winnipeggers who still feel slighted by the comments.

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.
