Note:  Tune into the Illegal Curve Hockey Show, live from 9-11 AM today as the guys return from their one week hiatus.  Guests include Frank Provenzano (Assistant General Manager of the Dallas Stars), Tom Lynn (former Assistant General Manager of the Minnesota Wild and currently of Veritas Hockey) and Corey Pronman (prospects writer for Hockey Prospectus and ESPN).

Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Half for you, half for me.  (Subscription required).  Is an even split the way to go?

Winnipeg Sun:  Bettman trying for NHL lockout hat trickAfter just one season back in the NHL, fans in Manitoba are being forced to nervously watch as time ticks away and we get closer to the September 15th deadline.  Let us know who you hold responsible in the current CBA talks in our IC Poll.

CBA news:

Comcast Philadelphia:  NHLPA has Plan B for potential lockoutNot that surprising that players would have a contingency in place.

ESPN: Owners, Bettman asking for too muchSeems somewhat disingenuous to be trumpeting the success of the league and then crying poor when circumstances dictate.

NHL.com: NHL, NHLPA meet for fourth consecutive dayThe Jets Ron Hainsey made an appearance in New York.

New York Daily News:  NHL and the NHL Players Association optimistic about new dealSomewhat ironic that the ad below the article is to ‘Buy Hockey Tickets’.

Montreal Gazette: Would hockey fans forgive and forget another lockoutIf it doesn’t cost them an entire season, then the answer is yes.

CSN Chicago:  Social media playing a role in CBA negotiationsSocial media is an avenue for fans to let the players and league hear their voices and let both sides know how you feel about the current state of affairs.

NHL news:

Toronto Star: Proceed with caution, MarkhamIf you build it, will they (NHL) come?

Buffalo News: Jeanneret considers Hall honor top-shelfHe holds the distinction of being the longest serving voice of any team in the NHL.  He bleeds Buffalo Sabres and whenever he speaks he has such a reverence for the game and that organization.  A real class act.

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.
