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

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets hope to break through Ottawa’s defenceBoth 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 goalNoel 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 tripWhile 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 gameBe 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 tuneI’m actually kinda surprised that the reaction from Sharks fans was so swift against the aging rocker.

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.
