Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Jets & Affiliate news:

Twitter:  Don Cherry tweets about Evander Kane situation.  This morning Don sent about 5 tweets saying he supports Kane and that he was simply joking around but hopes tax man wasn’t watching.

Globe and Mail:  Aucoin’s four-point outing guides Marlies past IceCaps.  The Caps failed to win the second game of the back-to-back in Toronto last night.

Coloradoan:  Colorado’s home roll continues with sweep of Bakersfield.  Finding ways to win against the weaker teams is important, especially as the Eagles get ready to embark on a 6 game road trip following the Christmas holidays.

News Reporter:  Rookie goalie Adam Brown finding a groove for Colorado.  With all the missing players up front, Colorado is getting some much needed help in-between the pipes.

CBA news:

Edmonton Journal:  Hamrlik stands by his criticism of NHLPA, still hopes for compromise solution.  I really respect the fact that Hamrlik hasn’t backed away from his comments.

National Post:  Don Cherry confident lockout will be over within weeks.  The Coach is confident that we will see NHL hockey again this year (technically next year).  What do you think?

CBC:  NHL sides talk by phone, no meetings scheduled.  Both waiting till the last minute to get this done.  Terrific.

World Juniors:

Minneapolis Star-Tribune: Finns score four third-period goals, beat U.S. 5-1. The Jets draft pick picked up an assist on the lone U.S. goal in the loss to the Finns on Saturday.

Calgary Herald:  Canada beats Sweden in junior warm-up.  It wasn’t a pretty win but a nice shootout victory.

Toronto Star:  Canada spot-on with Steve Spott as coach.  Not the conventional way to get to Team Canada but Steve Spott has worked hard to get to his present position.

TSN:  Boone Jenner isn’t sure what else he could have done.  Not surprisingly the Canadian players believe the hit was  fair and doesn’t merit further disciplinary action.
