Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets skipped practice on Thursday and flew directly to Pittsburgh where they will kick off an unusual six-game road trip which starts out east, comes back to the middle and then ends way down south in Texas. For now they will focus on the Penguins with morning skate getting underway at 10 AM CST.  Be sure to check back for the pre-game report for any updates. Puck drop is at 6 PM CST.

Note II: Reminder tonight we will be at Boston Pizza on Taylor for an IC Watch Party. Come join us for that. And then after the final buzzer sounds between Winnipeg and Pittsburgh, we want you to be part of the conversation on the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show as we discuss and analyze the results of the game starting around 8:40 PM CST.

Note III: Yesterday the Moose welcomed the Wolves to town to kick off six games at home. Despite the building being full of screaming kids who were missing school and bringing tons of energy to the game the home team couldn’t harness it which resulted in a 5-0 loss to Chicago. They are set to practice today at 10:30 AM CST as they prepare for the re-match tomorrow afternoon.
