Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Welcome to the NHL, kidThe trial by fire for Chiarot was significant as he learned what happens when you tangle with some of the best players in the NHL.  When asked he said it took him until the 2nd period before he truly got into a rhythm of the game.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Big saves not thereIn the below instance the save was made but the game was already out of hand.  Pavelec, to his credit, faced the music following the game and stood in with the press and took responsibility for his inability to make the key saves when they needed him.

Winnipeg Free Press:  AfterburnerSome notable game occurrences including free giveaways, good vocals, hometown proud, getting loud and next up.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets don’t measure up to HawksWell that isn’t quite true.  For close to 21 minutes it was pretty even, but then the floodgates opened and we learned what happens during a full 60 minute game.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets claim Keaton Ellerby off waiversWith a banged up D-core this move shores up the back end a bit and hopefully means the team won’t have to rush any of the young players from the AHL.

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.
