Jets news:

The Hockey News:  Highlight of the Night – Jets fans taunt TortorellaIt was a big win for the creative fans at the MTS Centre.

Winnipeg Free Press:  The Devin made ’em do itHe hasn’t had the best season to date but last night was the most complete game we have seen from the winger.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Tinker, tailor, turncoat, spyLots of Olympic talk already in the dressing rooms and even last night on the ice when all the Olympic players from both teams were called out for a special ceremony before the game.

Winnipeg Sun:  Setoguchi shows up to help Jets clock CanucksHe was rewarded with his hard play as the recipient of the Commander Flight Helmet, which is a new tradition where the team gives the player of the game this item to wear for media interviews.

Winnipeg Sun:  Fourth line continues to be MIAThey haven’t played much so it is difficult to really know what they are capable of but it is pretty clear that the coach feels more comfortable rolling three lines.

TSN:  Jets remain hot with victory over CanucksFrom his perch high above the MTS Centre ice surface Dennis breaks down the victory over Vancouver.

Vancouver Sun:  Canucks fall to Jets – Game EssentialsCheck out the viewpoint from the other side.

Illegal Curve:  Jets to hold outdoor practice at the ForksThe good news is I checked the weather forecast for February 23rd and according to weather spark it “typically varies from -14°C to -8°C and is rarely below -21°C or above -2°C”.

Canucks TV:  Memories of Winnipeg (video).  Plenty of connections between the two teams and the Canucks recall their time here.

Jets 4 Canucks 3:

Winnipeg Jets:  Mark Scheifele, Jacob Trouba, Andrew Ladd, Ondrej Pavelec and Devin Setoguchi.

Vancouver Canucks:  A. Coach Sullivan, Ryan Kesler, Daniel Sedin and Eddie Lack.

Coach Maurice post-game presser. What did he think of the response of Devin Setoguchi?  Staying positive – what was said?  Assessing the game.  Tough team to play against?  Ability to respond quickly when scored against!  The Daft Punk helmet given to the player of the game.

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.
