Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Loss shows Jets’ strengths, flaws.  (Paywall).  While a coach never likes to lose, when you are evaluating talent and combinations, it can still prove valuable.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Beware the palace coup, Pavelec.  (Paywall).  Gary goes medieval in this column as he discusses the need for Pavelec to once again take control of the net.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Size just a perk when you have Petan’s skill. (Paywall).  Every time he touches the puck you can see that he has talent.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets blow lead, fall 4-3 to Oilers in OT.  It looked like the Jets would be heading to OT last night as we entered the 3rd period simply because they were playing a league mandated 3 on 3 OT.  Instead three 3rd period goals had them playing OT for real.  Ken breaks down the game.

Winnipeg Sun:  Copp flying under the radar.  He played his third pre season game last night as the Jets brass give him a long look as they try to ascertain whether he can fill a role for them this season.

Edmonton Journal:  Oilers claw back from 3-0 deficit for 4-3 overtime win.  Read about the game from a beat writer who covers the Jets opposition.

Global News:  How Mark Scheifele bulked up.  Perhaps the DNA diet will spread but I suspect it may be limited to professional athletes.

Oilers 4 Jets 3 in OT:

Edmonton Oilers:  Rob Klinkhammer, Nail Yakupov and Coach McLellan.  To listen click here.

Winnipeg Jets:  Ondrej Pavelec, Nic Petan and Andrew Copp.  To listen click here.

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.
