Note: Reminder that if any Stanley Cup Playoff games go to overtime, we will be having our #ICOTpool contest. Similar to the #ICGWG contest in that you pick one player (total) from either team and @ tweet us (@illegalcurve) with your selection as well as the hashtag #ICOTpool. Winner gets IC Gear.

Note II:  Tune into the Illegal Curve Hockey Show on TSN Radio 1290 Saturday noon to 3 pm as the guys spend the show breaking down the Stanley Cup playoffs.  GuestsAlan Strachan (Hockey Hall of Fame hockey writer), Jesse Rogers (ESPN Chicago).

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.
