Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note:  The Jets are on their All-Star and Player break.

Note II:  The Moose had a solid effort last night in Iowa but they fell just short 1-0 to the Wild. They had a fantastic opening period but a lack of power in their powerplays huts them and they couldn’t muster much in the 3rd as they got outshot 16-6 in the final frame and outscored 1-0.  They will have one final game to play tonight in Iowa before they start their AHL All-Star break.

Note III: While the Jets may be enjoying some R&R we aren’t taking any time off.  We’ve got three hours of Winnipeg Jets and NHL talk on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show on TSN 1290 Winnipeg starting at 9 am.  The last 45 minutes of today’s show (starting at 11:15 AM) will feature a call in portion.  So if you’ve got something you wanna discuss something Jets, Moose or NHL related give us a call (204-780-1290).

Global News:  Indigenous-inspired Jets, Moose jerseys being auctioned off to support Winnipeg youth programming.  The money raised will help support this worthwhile endevour.  The Jets decal is nice but the Moose jerseys are fantastic and I’m sure we’ll be seeing them worn around Bell MTS Place soon enough.
