Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers (Wednesday, January 18th)

Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Stinky sequels.  Good news for the Jets is as bad as they have been at winning the 2nd game of a back-to-back, they have been good at finishing of a team playing in that situation.  Luckily for them they will face the Sabres on Thursday that has to go through Chicago on Wednesday.

Winnipeg Sun:  Snapshots.  Back-to-back games comical.  Six more to go.  Kane’s not able.  Antropov’s iron.  No legs for comebacks.  Stick-slashing idiotic.  Slater’s strong game.  Burmistrov need to shoot more.  Poor energy in Jersey.  Flood’s hard work.  Little not yet up to speed.  Better 3rd period.

Winnipeg Sun:  Up one day…down the next.  Just when you think that every team in the NHL probably stinks in the 2nd half of a back-to-back you see that it causes no issues to some teams.  Perhaps the Jets need to study and copy how teams like Chicago (7-2-1) and New Jersey/Detroit (7-3)  prepare as they have demonstrated no failings when it comes to these types of games.

Winnipeg Free Press:  African restaurants score Jets business.  Another example of how the Jets return has impacted the downtown of Winnipeg.

Illegal Curve:  The 59Fifty hat.  We branch out with 2 style’s of New Era hats.
