Note III:  Reminder that today’s Illegal Curve Hockey Show on TSN 1290 Winnipeg returns to our three hour format as we transition into Fall from 9 am until 12 pm.  Guests:  Paul Edmonds (TSN 1290 Winnipeg), Daniel Briere (former NHL player) and Bill Hoppe (Buffalo Times Herald).

Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets fall 3-1 to Flames in opening tilt of Young Stars Classic.  Time to panic?  Hardly but Tim recaps the first game of the tournament for the Jets prospects.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Prospect Ryan Olsen starting to make his mark.  Sometimes it is the prospects who don’t receive the hype that end up stealing the attention.  Can the B.C. native be that type of player?  We will have to wait and see.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Scheifele, Hutchinson take to the race track in Gimli.  Quite the sign of maturity from these two young Jets as they help out a local charity.

Winnipeg Sun:  Poor prospects for Jets.  Ken was also in B.C. last night and broke down the loss.

TSN 1290 Winnipeg:  Five questions to ponder ahead of Jets’ rookie tournament.  Voice of the Jets Paul Edmonds is in B.C. for the tournament and looks at five topics which touch on Josh Morrissey, Andrew Copp, Nikolaj Ehlers, Brendan Lemieux and Connor Hellebuyck.

Jets audio:

Illegal Curve:  Coach Keith McCambridge.  Topics covered included Expectation on Ehlers.  Any purpose for him to go back to Junior?  How much does the hype about the prospects matter to him?  Is he more apt to step on the gas with his experience in this tournament and these guys?  Everyone getting a chance to play some PK/PP.  Do they have a captain?  Plan between the pipes?  What kind of growth has he seen in Jan Kostalek?  His thoughts on Josh Morrissey.  With the attention on McDavid does that help his prospects?  Expectations on Scott Kosmachuk?  Importance of scoring to get him involved.
