Winnipeg Jets Afternoon News (Thursday, Oct. 20th)

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets hope to break through Ottawa’s defence.  Both team’s are frustrated with their level of play and will look to get a quick start to gain early momentum.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets puts Pavelec back in goal.  Noel seem to indicated after Tuesday press conference that he is prepared to ride the Pavelec train for quite awhile.

Globe and Mail:  Jets feeling the love on road trip.  While the media circus probably won’t ever be matched by what happened in Toronto yesterday, you can probably expect this type of reaction as the Jets come to a town near you for quite some time.

Winnipeg Sun:  Desperation of Jets, Sens should make for an exciting game.  Be aware that Slater (the S in the GST line) is battling the flu so he is a game time decision.  If unable to play, the Jets will insert Tim Stapleton on the line.  And coincidentally the GST line doesn’t miss a beat.

TSN:  Noel focusing on positives as Jets prepare for Sens.   Does the powerplay qualify as positive now that they scored 2 goals in 4 opportunities last night?

Montreal Gazette:  Neil Young singing a new tune.  I’m actually kinda surprised that the reaction from Sharks fans was so swift against the aging rocker.
