Jets news:
Winnipeg Free Press: Selinger ices free tickets. Is anyone else already tired of this ‘scandal’?
Winnipeg Sun: Jets fans set fire to Coyotes jersey. (video). I don’t even know what to say. While I may have understood this behaviour prior to May 2011, at this point Jets fans have a new ‘love’ in the Jets 2.0 and there is little value in being ‘hung up’ on our previous relationship.
National Post: Evander Kane secures Canada’s comeback win over Finland. Big win by Team Canada, with the game winner scored by the Jets young gun.

Stanley Cup news:
Washington Post: Hunter here for the long haul? Appears that Dale Hunter might be trading London, Ontario for Washington, D.C.
New York Daily News: History at MSG gives Blueshirts a 7th sense. Something tells me that these Capitals aren’t going to throw in the towel because the Rangers are 4-0 all-time in Game 7’s at MSG.
Other playoff news:

Arizona Republic: Hockey finally gets moment in the sun. The Desert Dogs are finally getting their time to shine, but the question remains if this is too little too late.

Speaking of hatred of the Rangers, Martin Brodeur began hating the Blueshirts early in his career.
