Winnipeg Jets Afternoon News (Wednesday, Nov 30th)

Globe and Mail:  Noel looking for answers after Jets fall flat.  You could see in the lead up to the game that coach Noel was concerned that his team would be flat in their first game back from the road trip and his worst fears came true.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets call up IceCaps Klingberg.  Looks like the feisty Swede is going to get a chance to bring his ‘A’ game to the NHL with this call-up.

Winnipeg Sun:  Value of Jets franchise rockets up 21%.  Not too bad an increase on True North’s initial investment.

Jets next opponent news – Phoenix Coyotes:

Phoenix Coyotes site:  Returning to Winnipeg.  Shane Doan talks about the reception he expects to receive in Winnipeg.  Not sure I agree with the expected antipathy he is sure to be on the receiving end of.  What do you think?  Does he deserve to be booed? 

Phoenix Coyotes (audio):  If you want to listen to Shane Doan offer up his thoughts on playing in Winnipeg, click here.  Coach Dave Tippett discusses playing in Winnipeg as well as needing a resolution to the situation in the desert, click here.

FS Arizona:  Road warriors.  The Jets are going to have to figure out a way to counter coach Tippet’s style of play and against these Coyotes you can’t expect to have many power play opportunities as they are the least penalized team in the NHL.

CSN Bay Area:  A quarter-season look around the Pacific.  With the exception of the Ducks, 2 points separates 1st and 4th in the Pacific division.  The Coyotes have surprised many as they have continued to win games, despite the loss of Ilya Bryzgalov to the Flyers.
