Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Jets news:

ChrisD.ca:  Chipman to make presentation to Air Force General.  The relationship between the Jets and the Air Force continues.

Winnipeg Sun:  True North’s Brown felt like the ‘grinch’.  Because there were no Jets papers the last couple of days, I’m including this article from the weekend which talks about True North’s senior director of corporate communications Scott Brown having to put out the fire of the May 19th, 2011 unofficial announcement.

Illegal Curve:  In Memory of Dr. Richard Tapper.  If you didn’t yet get a chance to read about our good friend, take a second to read about someone extraordinary.  He accomplished in 35 years what many can only hope to achieve in a lifetime.

Affiliate news – St. John’s IceCaps:

The Telegram:  IceCaps on slippery slope.  Down three games to zero against the best team in the league.  This does not look like it will end well for the Jets farm club.

The Telegram:  IceCaps scoring drying up.  Where has all the scoring gone?

Stanley Cup news:

Star-Ledger:  Devils trying to keep cool but Rangers testing their limits.  When a melee almost breaks out between coaches, we have ourselves a series.

New York Daily News:  Rangers lose the battle and Game 4.  This series certainly looks like it will go the distance.

L.A. Times:  Kings succeeding despite power play woes.  Usually special team play is the difference but these upstart Kings are proving that effective 5 on 5 play can win hockey games.  With the NBA Lakers elimination last night and the Clippers also losing, it looks like Hollywood is gonna be focused solely on these Kings to get any playoff gratification this month.

Arizona Republic:  Coyotes cautiously optimistic heading into Game 5.  Can the Coyotes do the improbable and go on a 4-0 run and win the series?  If so they will start tonight at Jobing.com arena.
