Note: This is day 96 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 but we did record another IC CurveCast last week. We were joined by Andrew “Hustlerama” Paterson from TSN 1290 Winnipeg to talk Jets/Flames play-in series.  You can listen/watch here.

Jets news:

Illegal Curve:  Jets sign Kristian Reichel to a two-year deal It isn’t a surprise to me that Reichel earned himself this contract with the Jets as I wrote in my column about the Moose season concluding due to the pandemic “One player who certainly earned himself another contract is Kristian Reichel who was a Jets Development Camp invitee in 2018 and has subsequently signed with the Moose twice.”.

Jets video:

TSN:  Who is the most intriguing player to watch against the Flames?  Which Jets player has the most intrigue around them heading into the matchup against the Flames? Which depth forward for Winnipeg could make an impact in the series? Could Sami Niku see any game action against Calgary? Sara Orlesky is joined by Brian Munz to discuss.

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.
