Note:  With tomorrow being a 1 pm start time for the Jets and Oilers at MTS Centre the Illegal Curve Hockey Show will be starting at 7 am until 10 am (CST) on TSN 1290 Winnipeg.  Plenty to discuss so be sure to set your radio dial bright and early on Saturday.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets soar over FlamesYou hate to be a Debbie Downer but we should remind everyone that the Flames are a terrible team.  While it is important to win you sometimes need a slight dose of reality.  This wasn’t St. Louis, L.A. or ChicagoHaving said that the team still played a pretty good game and a number of players continued to bring their ‘A’ game.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets-Flames summaryPavelec made some good saves although none was bigger than the save he made in the 3rd period with the Jets up 4-1 at point-blank range.  Soon thereafter rookie Jacob Trouba put the game away.

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.
