Note: Will today be the day that #TrotzWatch comes to an end? Maybe not but as you can see in Mike McIntyre’s article below it could be happening pretty, pretty, pretty soon.

Note II: Yesterday I did a quick look at all the free things Barry Trotz has been offered if he accepts the Winnipeg Jets head coaching job. List includes: Beer, Sausage, Oil changes, Free-range eggs, Countryfest tickets 4 life and a Dauphin Herald subscription. And he’ll be paid millions of dollars to coach. Seems like a pretty, pretty, pretty good deal from his fellow Manitobans. If you know of anything missing from this list send me a tweet here.

Note III: Regardless of whether the Jets hire a new head coach today or tomorrow before 9 AM you better join us on Saturday for what could prove to be a very interesting and eventful Illegal Curve Hockey Show.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Jets, Trotz, get back to the table, coach’s decision imminent. Selfishly I hope they could do this by Friday night so we can have a hell of a Saturday morning Illegal Curve Hockey Show.

Winnipeg Free Press: Trotz talk heating up in Winnipeg. (Paywall). Mike is reporting that the two sides are slated to meet this weekend. If this comes to fruition it is gonna be quite festive for Jets fans.

The Athletic Winnipeg: Jets coaching search: Latest on Barry Trotz, Jim Montgomery talks. (Paywall). Murat gives you the 411 on what he’s heard about all the options which are on the table.

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.
