Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Jets news:

Jets official site:  Point of view.  Kinda cool being on ice level with the camera crew.  If they do one from up above on the cat walk, I’m not sure I’d want to have that experience (again).

Winnipeg Free Press:  Real NHL battle could just be about to warm up.  After a long wait, the Jets 2.0 finally came home, but it might all be for naught if there is a lockout next season.

Edmonton Journal:  Young Stars Tournament cancelled.  Oh oh sports fans.  It appears the first salvo in the upcoming labour war, I mean negotiations, has been fired.  Jets fans will fondly recall this tourny which took place in B.C. last year and saw the Jets young guns in action for the first time.

Jets official site:  Plays of the Year – Round 2, Match-up 8.  Quite the look of confusion on Nodl’s face after that Bogosian slam.  Something tells me Jets fans enjoyed the big hit.

Hockey’s Future:  Numerous Jets prospects benefiting from extended AHL playoffs.  While not the deepest team of prospects the Jets do have some good core players for the future.  (This was a late addition to yesterdays news so for those that missed it, here ya go)

Affiliate news – St. John’s IceCaps:

VOCM:  Caps prepare for series with Admirals.  Making it to the Finals is never easy and the Caps are going to have to take out the best team in the AHL to accomplish their goal.

AHL.com:  Top four seeds left in Cup race.  Unlike in the NHL, these Conference Finals are being battled between the best teams in the AHL.

Stanley Cup news:

New York Daily News:  Rangers suffer another Game 2 letdown.  The Blueshirts seemed out of sorts all night.  They seemed thrown off by the Devils shenanigans.  Interesting choice by coach Tortorella to sit Marian Gaborik for approximately 13 minutes to start the 3rd period.

Star-Ledger:  Game 2 victory gives Pete DeBoer reason for optimism.  The Devils showed some nice resiliency fighting off some questionable penalty calls to come back and win Game 2, and earn themselves a split on the island.

L.A. Times:  What a short, strange trip it has been for the Kings.  They have knocked off the 1st, 2nd and are half way to finishing off the 3rd seed in their remarkable run to the Stanley Cup Finals.

Arizona Republic:  Coyotes must live up to their slogan.  If they hope to see another game at jobing.com arena they are going to need to tighten their game in Hollywood.
