Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Crash landing for Jets at homeWhile the game kicked off with a fun pre-game ceremony there wasn’t much pizazz when it came to the game play.  The line of Mark Scheifele, Blake Wheeler and Dustin Byfuglien showed up and but for the effort of Pekka Rinne it could easily have been a different result.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Wakey-wakey, sleeping JetsThe Jets showed some fight but unfortunately for fans at the MTS Centre last night it came too late.

Winnipeg Sun:  What happened to the goalsJust goes to show how quickly the focus can change from what is happening in the crease to the other side of the ice and what isn’t happening in your opponents crease.  Fans are left wondering where is the fire power going to come from this team?

CBC:  Jets home opener draws hockey fans from near and farIt may not have been the most exciting game to drive down for but good to see that the team is attracting folks from outside of the city.

Predators 2 Jets 0:

Winnipeg Jets:  Andrew Ladd, Mark Scheifele and TJ Galiardi.

Nashville Predators:  Coach Laviolette, James Neal, Pekka Renne and Olli Jokinen.

Coach Maurice post-game presser: Coach Maurice met with the media following the game against Nashville.

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.
