Note:  The Moose closed out the year with a win in front of almost 14,000 fans at the MTS Centre with a solid four goal 2nd period and a 41 save performance by Eric Comrie.  Unfortunately the good feelings didn’t keep going as the parent club Jets dropped a 4-2 decision to the Arizona Coyotes.

Note II:  The Moose and Wild are back at it tonight at the MTS Centre as Manitoba looks to win their first game of 2016.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets cap off 2015 with a 4-2 loss to Coyotes.  (Paywall).  Despite all the Jets fans at Gila River Arena

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets fail in sixth try for three-game win streak.  This team just cannot seem to put together a win streak of any significance this season.

Sportsnet:  Coyotes beat Jets behind Doan’s big night.  Somewhat appropriate that he eclipsed the mark previously held by Dale Hawerchuk against a team with the same name (but not the same team) with which Hawerchuk achieved the record.  

Arizona Republic:  Doan breaks franchise record in Coyotes’ win over Jets.   Toss in the fact that a player named Domi picked up the primary assist and we are in full bizzaro world.

Coyotes 4 Jets 2:

Illegal Curve:  Coach Maurice post-game scrum.  It was a less than pleased bench boss who spent all his post game scrum talking about penalties.

Moose news:

Illegal Curve:  Moose offence runs wild in 4-3 win over Iowa.  Includes key plays of game, tonight’s top Moose and injury news. Also includes all the post-game audio including Moose coach Keth McCambridge, Chase De Leo, Nic Petan & Scott Kosmachuk.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Second-period push helps Moose to victory against Wild.  (Paywall).  After Comrie helped them escape the 1st period Wild onslaught the Moose really pushed in the 2nd resulting in four goals for the home squad.

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.
