Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Repentent Enstrom ready to move onNo point getting out your tar and feathers as he is clearly aware of the cost of his error.  Sometimes a wake up call could be exactly what is needed by a talented player like Enstrom.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Coach not worried about loss of momentumIt will certainly be interesting today against the Senators.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets move on from thrashing by KingsJust like you cannot be too excited about your last win, you cannot focus too long on a tough defeat.

Winnipeg Sun:  Setoguchi hopes to make trade deadline reprieve pay off for JetsHe is certainly going to need to step up his game if he wants this team to make a serious run at the playoffs.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets look to rebound against SenatorsThe Jets are facing a surly bunch who lost both games in Alberta and coach MacLean put them through the paces yesterday during practice in Banff.

Illegal Curve:  Coach Maurice scrum from IcePlex (audio).  Intending on staying with the same lineup?  Liked what he saw with the group?  Seeing the success of LA, is that what he’s trying to bring to this team?  Has the team lost some of the momentum they carried into the break?  Frolik’s move to centre.  Hard to ask a guy to move position at this point in season?  What  does he need from Setoguchi down the stretch?  Thoughts on Ottawa.  What does he know about John Albert?  Keys to being better in transition game.

Senators news:

Ottawa Citizen:  Frustration boils over for Senators.  As I said above these isn’t a happy bunch which even resulted  in a few punches being thrown in practice.

CBC:  Uninspired Ottawa Senators could find spark in a PrinceLooking for inspiration wherever it can be found.

IceCaps news:

CBC:  IceCaps edge Sound Tigers 3-2St. John’s are getting contributions from all sorts of players and yesterday Julian Melchiori notched his first of the season in helping the IceCaps to their seventh win in a row.

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.
