Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Jets news:

All is quiet on the Jets front.

CBA news:

Minneapolis Star-Tribune: Lockout threat casts shadow.  The league is having unparalleled success but the threat of a lockout is not good for business.

Montreal Gazette: Bettman is neighbourhood bully in NHL talks.  No punches pulled in this piece.  Is Bettman a bully in your opinion?

Edmonton Sun:  NHL lockout makes absolutely no sense.  When you see the contracts getting handed out to guys who get 40-50 points, it makes you wonder what the players who regularly scored 100+ think of all this nonsense.

The Province:  15 Stages of NHL Lockout Preparation: Day 2 – “Pray”.  Something tells me that we are going to need more than 15 days.

NHL news:

USA Today: Ownerless Coyotes show signs of staying power.  Perhaps just before the playoffs each season the NHL will parade out a new ownership group to get the Yotes revved up before the post season.

Globe and Mail:  PQ referendum threat won’t help Quebec City’s NHL dreams.  Mixing politics with hockey.  Great idea.
