Note: The Jets aren’t hitting the panic button after a 3rd period collapse on Tuesday night cost them a point. They practiced on Wednesday as they tried to turn the page to prepare for the Canucks tonight. We shall see if 33 joins his teammates at the morning skate at 10:30 am as he was listed as possible by his head coach. Puck drop is at 7 pm and we will have all the action covered.

Note II: A long week of practice for the Moose is almost over as the team will have a final day of skating today before they get back into game mode on Friday when the San Antonio Rampage come to town for a pair of games.

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.
