Note: This is day 73 since the NHL hit the pause button on the 2019-20 season.

Note II: Reminder that the Illegal Curve Hockey Show, which normally would be heard this morning on TSN 1290 Winnipeg, remains on pandemic hiatus.

Jets news:

NHL.com: Scheifele, Parayko, Ristolainen picks for top current No. 55. A trio of NHL writers debate who wears 55 best.

The Athletic Winnipeg: Patrik Laine on Lambos, life on the links and trying to skate off the rust. (Paywall – 30 day free option). Ken wrote about Friday’s conference call.

Winnipeg Free Press: COVID-19 Stanley Cup could be most memorable NHL playoffs of our lifetime. (Paywall). It will certainly be a memorable quest for the Cup.

Winnipeg Free Press: Laine keen to hit the ice, despite potential challenges of new playoff format. (Paywall). He was his usual dry self in today’s chat.

Winnipeg Sun: Patrik Laine golfing, chilling and taking Lambo selfies. Scott’s piece from today’s chat with Jets Finnish phenom Patrik Laine.

Jets video:

Jets TV: Video conference call with Patrik Laine. Just a shade under 16 minutes of time with the straightforward Finn.

NHL news:

Sportsnet: NHLPA vote first of many big steps before NHL can return to play. Doesn’t sound like it was all kumbaya during the call.

TSN: NHLPA agrees to more talks on league’s 24-team Return to Play proposal. Looks like the first hurdle of many has been leaped.

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.
