Note: September is here and we have put out a list of important dates for the Winnipeg Jets, Manitoba Moose and the newest kid on the block Winnipeg Ice.
Jets news:
NBC Pro Hockey Talk: What can we expect from Patrik Laine in 2019-20? If his shooting percentage gets back to 18% then probably an additional 10-15 goals. And if he has worked on the elements of his game that needed work it could be a huge year for the Finnish sniper with the rocket shot. Especially if he signs a bridge deal.
NBC Pro Hockey Talk: Heated seat switched on for Jets’ Paul Maurice. High expectations won’t diminish this season and it will be incumbent on the Jets bench boss to ensure that a second half decline doesn’t occur again this year.
