Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets need to raise their gameLooks like Jets fans are going to have to road trip a bit more to make the players feel like they are at the MTS Centre.  They are going to need to have a major improvement on their next road trip if they want to even consider the post season.

Winnipeg Free Press:  He’s no ORDINARY CLAUDEAs coach Noel would say “looks like he might be a player” for the Jack Adams.  Of course he is going to need to have his team finish “above the line” for him to get real consideration.

ChrisD.ca:  Jim Slater to visit fans at workSuddenly the idea of going to work is going to be a lot more fun.  Wonder if he will work on the TPS reports with fans?

San Jose Mercury News:  Sharks travel to Winnipeg, which has embraced its new JetsA nice article which discusses the return of the NHL to Winnipeg.  Good refresher for Sharks fans who might still associate Foxwarren, Manitoba’s Pat Falloon and the Jets.

Winnipeg Sun:  Noel wants Jets to mimic effort of eliteThe Jets have got to show that they can have killer instinct and that one goal given up, won’t lead to another one or two in quick succession.
