Note: This is day 94 since the NHL hit the pause button on the 2019-20 season.

Note II: We remain on pandemic hiatus so no Illegal Curve Hockey Show on TSN 1290 Winnipeg this morning but we did record another IC CurveCast. We were joined by Andrew “Hustlerama” Paterson from TSN 1290 Winnipeg to talk Jets/Flames play-in series. You can listen/watch here. Also be sure to follow us on YouTube (hit that subscribe button) for the latest episode.

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.
