Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Chipman, Thomson win Winnipeg tourism award.  More accolades for the guys responsible for bringing back the Jets.

IIHF:  Canada lost to Slovakia and USA was defeated by Finland.  Jets players Kane, Ladd and Slater will be returning to North America short on hardware after both teams suffered disappointing losses yesterday.  The Americans lost with 8 seconds to go in the 3rd period.

Affiliate news – St. John’s IceCaps:

The Telegram:  IceCaps left with a sinking feeling.  Good news for fans of this upstart team from St. John’s is that a Game 1 defeat doesn’t lose you a series.  Whether you lose 6-1 or 2-1, it only counts as one game.  They will need to put this game behind them and get ready for Game 2 which goes Saturday.

The Virginian-Pilot:  Admirals romp in opener of third-round playoff series.  Remember that battle of the titans we talked about before this series began?  Well the Caps got it handed to them last night, losing 6-1 in Virginia.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Red-hot Pasquale talk of The Rock.  Better stay focused on the here and now.

Stanley Cup news:

Star-Ledger:  Devils rookie Adam Henrique playing like seasoned veteran.  As Jets fans saw throughout the season this kid can play.

New York Daily News:  Faces long as Torts gets short.  Count me as someone sick of the John Tortorella show.

L.A. Times:  Kings take 3-0 series lead over Coyotes.  Looks like the Hollywood is about to party like its 1993 all over again.

Arizona Republic:  Coyotes lose Game 3, face 3-0 series deficit.  The likelihood of coming back from a 3-0 deficit is highly unlikely.
