Jets news:

Note:  We will have audio from Jets practice today.  Stay tuned to IC.com for that. Should be up by 12:30pm.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets were 10 seconds away from first placeTim Stapleton said it best when he said the Jets played to preserve the 1 goal lead in the 3rd period, rather than continuing to try and pressure the FlyersA heartbreaking loss for Ondrej Pavelec who certainly deserved a better fate.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Players to Chevy – keep us along for the rideTrading the G and the S in the GST line might break the hearts of fans across the city and province.  These are heart and soul guys who give everything they can to this team.  But at same time GM Cheveldayoff has to think about the long term future of the Jets.  Wins in Thursday’s game against the Bolts and Saturday against the Blues will likely determine if this same makeup will be playing against the Oilers on Monday.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Goalie steers away tauntsPerhaps the Philly goalie is having a private laugh on everyone.  His comments are actually quite hilarious.  (We have all his audio from last night below).

Winnipeg Sun:  Snapshots.   Pavelec deserved better.   Run and gun game.  Jets have scored 13.4% of goals against Flyers this season. Poor plays allow Philly to tie game.  Pavelec’s many highlight reel saves.  Ladd busting out.  Jets are 5/5 on powerplay. Buff’s offensive side from blueline.  Missed slashing stick penalty.  Kane and Wheeler use speed for defence.  Fehr’s soft pass.  Wheeler a bargain.  Panthers have games in hand but will catch up by March 15th.

Winnipeg Sun:  Firewagon follies The Jets learned what it was like when you try and play run and gun against a team that has some serious firepower.

Winnipeg Sun:  Scheifele’s confidence sky highWhile he might be going through a bit of a funk, the Jets first round pick continues to develop under the tutelage of the Jets 1.0 former first round draft pick.

Metro:  The Queen’s portrait should hang in the arenaMuch like the portrait of the Queen, the fake Queen and his regiment of Queen’s Guards were out in the cold yesterday and I cannot imagine it was too warm running around the city in that outfit.

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.
