Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Jets news:

TSN:  A missed call.  Hear former NHL referee Kerry Fraser give his assessment on the play that led to Calgary’s shorthanded goal in which we saw an NBA style pick and roll on Dustin Byfuglien and leading to a goal against the Jets.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Players raise eyebrows at officiating.  While you got the sense of skepticism in the room following the shootout loss at some of the calls (as well as the non-calls i.e. the basketball like pick which led to the Flames shorthanded goal) players are well versed enough to know what will and will not make them lighter in the pocketbook.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Pavs to Czech out Sochi.  As we get closer and closer to the Winter Olympics the chatter is only going to heat up.  Not surprisingly both Pavelec and Frolik will be Czeching out the Olympics for their squad.

Winnipeg Sun:  Dustin Byfuglien a major force all over the ice for Jets.  It was one of those evenings when you could tell the Jets big man was taking the game over.  He was everywhere last night, including a end of the 2nd period melee where he took on two Flames.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets and Flames go back to the future.  Sometimes tedious sometimes exciting, last night’s game had it all according to Paul.  He also looks at the Jets sell out streak, Trouba’s revelation and coach Noel’s foresight.

Winnipeg Sun:  Resilient Jets still view shootout loss as point lost instead of point gained.  While it may be a pessimistic way of looking at things, the reality is when you are leaving points on the table against Western Conference teams, you can’t really look at it any other way.  One has to appreciate the candor with which Olli Jokinen speaks post-game.

Winnipeg Sun:  Flames burn Jets in eight-round shootout.  When will the shootout ever end?  Unfortunately for Jets fans the 10-minute misconduct that Bryan Little was handed as OT concluded meant one of their better shooters was unavailable.
