Jets news:

Jets official site:  Producing Postma.  The Jets can certainly use some points from the blue line.  Will he be able to crack a regular spot in the lineup this season?

CBA news:

National Post:  The state of the standoff in the NHLThis could be the most critical week of negotiations between the two sides.

National Post:  Winners and losers of the NHL off-seasonSean McIndoe is always good for a laugh, which is nice considering where the NHL and NHLPA appear to be headed.

New York Post:  NHL, union to resume talksOne word;  urgency.  Neither side is acting like time is running out but they should be.  Instead of acknowledging that they have under 3 weeks to resolve this battle, both sides should negotiate like tomorrow is the last day.  Wouldn’t kill either side to spend 12-15 hours negotiating, instead of these 2 hour “marathon” sessions.

SI.com:  Ex-NHLPA boss Goodenow may be proved rightThis idea that ownership was concerned about the fans paying too much is laughable, especially when you see the rise in prices.  Unfortunately for Goodenow, his union didn’t stay strong in the face of the owners resolve.  Wonder if he knew back in 2004 that the Jets would return?

NHL news:

Arizona Republic:  Glendale, NHL extend Phoenix Coyotes arena agreement for fourth timeNothing terribly new with this latest piece of newsThey’ve simply renewed the lease for another month.  Clearly the NHL doesn’t have time to micro-manage Phoenix with all their focus on the CBA talks but how much longer can this continue?

Edmonton Journal:  Can Justin Schultz possibly live up to the hypeAs the Public Enemy song suggests “Don’t believe the hype”.  This kid had at least a dozen teams after him and while he should be pretty good as he continues to develop, is it a bit too much to expect him to be able to make an immediate impact.

Vancouver Sun: New Lack deal adds intrigue between the pipesLooks like Lack will be a big piece of the Canucks AHL puzzle this season, with expectations that he will be up with the big club in Year 2 of the deal.

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.
