Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets score with jerseys.  We know what we think of the jerseys, but what was your first impression?

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets continue to impress.  Count me as someone who was impressed by yesterday’s ceremony.  What needs to be remembered is that the Jets are doing everything at hyper speed.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets looking good in new jerseys.  While some might not feel that you are going to get a players honest thoughts about the jerseys, having had the opportunity to conduct 1 on 1 interviews with Eric Fehr, Mark Stuart and Nik Antropov yesterday, the trio generally seemed pumped about the new uniforms.

After the jump we get Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff’s thoughts on the rush job, fans reactions to the Jets jerseys and some prospect news.  There is Breaking news out of the KHL that a plane carrying the Lokomotiv hockey team crashed, killing 36 a short while ago.  In ‘Around the NHL’ news Sid Crosby is doing a press conference today, Teemu’s knee is still determining factor and NHL’s return to Quebec took a step forward.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Team’s GM pleased with rush job.  People might not love everything about the new jerseys, but they need to remember that this was done in a fraction of the time normally allotted for new jersey production.

Winnipeg Sun:  Fans finally see Jets jerseys.  From the fans we’ve talked to, the overall impression is a positive one.

Medicine Hat News:  Camp exodus set to begin.  A brief mention of Jets prospect Sebastian Owuya.

KHL News:

TSN:  Plane carrying KHL team crashes, killing 36.  This evokes memory of the plane crash that happened to the Marshall college football team. Former Winnipeg Jet Igor Korolev is an assistant coach with Lokomotiv.  Thoughts and prayers to the families.

Around the NHL:

ESPN:  Teemu working on his knee.  I’m not a betting man, but if I had to guess, I think that he is going to play next season.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:  Crosby to speak publicly today about his health.  They will be live tweeting his press conference in case you want to know what is happening with the game’s #1 superstar.

Montreal Gazette:  Quebecor’s NHL arena pact okayed.  If you are a fan of NHL hockey returning to QC (and who can say they don’t love those blue jerseys) then this is a step forward to getting a team back.
