Note: Usually we would be focusing on game #54 on the Jets schedule but today is a day unlike any other game day. The Kane maelstrom is about to hit the MTS Centre for a second day as more news broke following media availability yesterday. I suspect everyone that has a press pass will be at the arena for what should quite be an interesting day for this organization.
Note II: Since we do have a hockey game to get ready for be sure to keep it locked to illegalcurve.com for all the latest news with notifications via our twitter @illegalcurve & Facebook.
