Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: Might the next play by play voice of the Jets have been revealed on Thursday? Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette indicated English play by play voice of the Habs on TSN 690 Dan Robertson is leaving for a TV gig but couldn’t say to which team. If it is Dan here are some of his greatest hits.

Note II: Two straight games with a goal for Jets prospect Dmitry Rashevsky (2021 5th) who shows off his baseball skills with this game tying goal. He’s got four goals in seven games (plus one assist) for Dynamo to start the season.

Note III:  The Jets rookies look to put Friday’s loss to the Oilers rookies behind them and today they will have a chance to do so this afternoon against the host Canucks rookies. Puck drop is at 4 PM CDT.
