Note:  Tune into the Illegal Curve Hockey Show from noon to 3 pm today on TSN Radio 1290.  Guests include Joshua Cooper (The Tennessean), Bruce Dowbiggin (Globe and Mail) and Bobby Holik (former NHL player).

Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Selinger ices free ticketsIs 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 FinlandBig win by Team Canada, with the game winner scored by the Jets young gun.

Affiliate news – St. John’s IceCaps:

The Telegram:  Penguins beat IceCaps 4-2, force a Game 7The IceCaps have lost momentum and that is not good considering they will back in action tonight at Mile One Centre.

Stanley Cup news:

Washington Post:  Hunter here for the long haulAppears that Dale Hunter might be trading London, Ontario for Washington, D.C.

New York Daily News:  History at MSG gives Blueshirts a 7th senseSomething 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:

L.A. Times:  Mike Richards finds success away from PhiladelphiaAn L.A. and Philly Stanley Cup final would have been quite incredible, but alas it was not to beAs Jets fans saw, Richards is quite a force on the ice and should be really interesting to watch the Kenora native in the Conference Finals.

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

Star-Ledger:  Devils Pete DeBoer and Capitals coach Dale Hunter have historyWho needs mutual admiration when you can be fuelled by hate, which seems to better describe the relationship between DeBoer and Tortorella.  Speaking of hatred of the Rangers, Martin Brodeur began hating the Blueshirts early in his career.

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.
