Winnipeg Free Press: Life in KHL not all premium vodka and caviar. (Paywall). We’ve heard plenty of interesting stories of life in the KHL throughout the years since its inception.

Winnipeg Sun: No excuses for Jets. Ken looks at the Saturday loss to the Flyers. He also wrote about the Myers/Trouba pairing, fourth-line love, captain Ladd stepping up and his around the glass thoughts.

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.
