Jets & Affiliate news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Career interruptedThe Jets have to hope that Kane will be ready to go and that the kick at the can in the KHL was just an anomaly.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Couldn’t find the net, fathom ‘nyet’Good for Ed to ask Evander about his KHL experience.  Clearly he never took to the style of play over in Russia.  Finished with 12 games, 1 goal and a minus 8.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Players, owners shooting breeze the answerWhile I agree it is not an even playing field perhaps to change the nature of the conversation it isn’t such a bad idea.

Illegal Curve:  The Winnipeg Jets and Winnipeg Free Press are pleased to offer “The First Season”.  Free Press reporter Randy Turner continues to churn out some excellent books and this looks like it is another must buy.

The Telegram:  IceCaps, Pasquale win againDon’t look now but St. John’s is on a winning streak as they pulled off their 3rd victory in a row last night in AlbanyAlso appears that Edward Pasquale is taking the role of #1 net minder.

The Hockey Writers:  Can OHL scoring forecast success for Jets ScheifeleIn the end we won’t know the answer for another 5 years, at which point we can look back and say yes this was a good move, or no it was a terrible selection.  While looking at historical trends can sometimes give an indication there is no guarantee of success or lack thereof.

Reporter Herald:  Idaho goalie Robinson shines against EaglesOnce again this Colorado squad showed an inability to win on the road as they ran into a hot goalie in Boise.

CBA news:

USA Today:  NHLPA must decide if decertification is worth riskCan you say goodbye to the season?

ESPN:  However lockout ends, Bettman must goRogers has had enough of  the ‘my way’ or the highway approach that is often attributed to Commissioner Bettman.

Montreal Gazette:  Martin Brodeur slogging through his fourth work stoppageThat is a lot of lost money and time for the future hall of famer.

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.
