Note:  Today is a bit unusual as the entire Illegal Curve team will be attending various weddings, so we will likely have some post-game content but not our usual Pressbox Podcast.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets must start engines much soonerSlow starts need to quickly become a thing of the past.  You cannot spot a team a four score lead and hope to storm back in this league.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Talk not cheap: it’s freeFans want to hear players saying the right things but end of day, when that final buzzer sounds, what you’ve done on the ice is what actually counts.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Little joy in Jetland after lossesThree losses in a row will do that to a group.  Of course wins tonight and Tuesday could help subside the collective gasping.

Winnipeg Sun:  Byfuglien adapting to added responsibilities for JetsHe is the most dynamic player on defence and that means added responsibility for the Jets big man.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets need to just do it As Nike famously said, this team needs to show up for a full 60 minutes.

Jets opposition (New Jersey Devils) news:

Winnipeg Sun:  Former Moose Schneider ready for Winnipeg Jets crowd. Expect a nice reception from the fans before they turn on him and start to cheer the home crowd.

Star-Ledger:  Ryan Carter still sidelined as winless team practices in Winnipeg. The Devils Western Canada road trip has’t been too good and they are hoping that changes now that they’ve hit the centre.

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.
