Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  From one Jet boss to another…100,000 thank yousWould like to see the look on the bank tellers face if someone tried to cash a novelty cheque like that.  Seriously though, not sure why anyone would have an issue with the donation which will go to help our military forces’ charitable and support causes.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Patience, patience, patience  – Jets bossThe most difficult thing you can do is ask a sports fan to be patient.  However, just as Rome wasn’t built in a day, the Jets are not going to become Stanley Cup contenders overnight and the True North brain trust needs fans to accept that building a winner takes timeYoung guys like Scheifele, Klingberg and Telegin are still going to need some seasoning.

Affiliate news – St. John’s IceCaps:

The Telegram:  Swept awayAnd just like that the magical inaugural season for the Jets farm club ends in a sweep at the hands of the best team in the AHL.

The Telegram:  Cup final dream ends too earlyWhile the Caps had an excellent regular season and a pretty good playoffs, this series loss won’t sit well with the organization.

Stanley Cup news:

L.A. Times:  Kings never lost magic touch on the roadWhile many acknowledge that these Kings are not your standard 8th place team they have successfully knocked off the 1st, 2nd and now 3rd seeds in the Western Conference to advance to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since 1993Dustin Penner of Winkler, Manitoba scored the OT goal to clinch the series.  They will have a week off before playing either the Devils or Rangers.

Arizona Republic:  Coyotes future looks bright after playoff breakthroughYou never like to see seats go unsold for a Conference Finals game but the true test for this franchise will be the response for next season.  Will fans come flocking to the Coyotes and save this franchise?

Star-Ledger:  Devils coach Pete DeBoer has fire that is reminiscent of Pat BurnsThe Devils and Rangers rivalry extends from the coaches all the way down to the players and has made for some very good hockey.

New York Daily News:  Time for Rangers to ‘pray’Can the Blueshirts make the Finals without scoring from their top lines?

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.
