Winnipeg Sun:  Jets juggle lines.  After only scoring once against the Habs, the Jets are balancing out the lines a bit more.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets prep for first road trip.  Hopefully the short road trip to Chicago and Phoenix can get this team properly focused, although the trip to Phoenix should prove interesting.

Globe and Mail:  Noel still trying to get a read on his Jets.  The coach was clearly displeased with the laissez-faire attitude that the Jets players were giving and he admonished them accordingly.

Winnipeg Sun:  Fans will decide ‘real’ Jets story.  I’ve heard similar thought about the Rypien tribute.  I didn’t think it adversely affected the atmosphere before the game.
