Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Greed would be good right nowDespite the recent hot streak the Jets simply find themselves in a tight race for the last few playoff spots, but they have a chance to take top spot in the Southeast as last night’s win put them one point back of the Hurricanes.  Would be a sight for the ages if the Jets had a Southeast Division banner hanging from the MTS Centre rafters.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Pleased, but hardly satisfiedThe Jets players were still critiquing their game following the win.  While Ron Hainsey said it was the best two games the team has played in his time with the Atlanta/Winnipeg organization he still mentioned the mistakes he made during the game.

Winnipeg Sun:  Finally learning to seal the dealIf you want to be a playoff team, that is exactly the type of game you need to win.  Paul also covers the next challenge, Miettinen’s ‘beautiful’ goal, getting a good start, wild 1st period, Jets moving conferences and Big Buff’s Rapid Fire video hilarity.

Winnipeg Sun:  Heading to Western Conference next seasonNo longer destined to be the team logging huge travel distance, it will be nice to finally play in the West.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Chipman talks Heritage ClassicSeems like this is a done deal and it just need to be made official by the NHLSo far in our Poll, the majority want to see a team from the Jets new division.

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.
