CBC:  Jets power play rebounding at right timeThe Jets went 2/4 against the Leafs last night and good news for Winnipeg is that the Senators have the league’s worst penalty-kill percentage at 64.5.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Lots of love for Jets in T.OThe outpouring of support from across Canada continues.  As the Jets make their first appearance in each city, expect a lot of kudos.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Reimer rooted in ManitobaRegardless of what happens with his career, he will always remember that first victory over the Winnipeg Jets.

National Post:  As hype subsides, Jets settle into a new normalThis team will experience this type of “normal” for awhile I would expect.  Especially as they journey to each Canadian city for the first time.

IIHF:  Steen – “We’ve already won”#25 for the Jets 1.0 gives some great answers in this Q & A which ranges from his favourite linemates to what the return of the Jets 2.0 means to this city.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets have winning formulaIsn’t it ironic that the Winnipeg model was mocked as unsustainable by so many and now they are being touted as the poster child for successOf course Jets fans would like to see this formula translate to a few more wins on the ice.

Winnipeg Free Press:  ‘Frosty’ would have treasured this night.   A real shame that he wasn’t able to enjoy this night.   The Jets have done a nice job honouring his memory.

National Post:  Scheifele starts making a case to stay in WinnipegIs it a case of too little too lateHis play was definitely more noticeable than it had been during the last few games but it appears that this young Jet still needs some more seasoning before he is ready to play full time in the NHL.

Toronto Star:  Leafs down Jets in weird oneThe Leafs stunk up the joint for the first 2 periods but managed to play well enough in the 3rd to get the victory.

TSN:  Jets lose again, but coach Noel sees signs of improvement The questionable penalty calls really killed the Jets (2 Toronto goals in 27 seconds to tie the game) last night.  The team played a pretty decent overall game.

Globe and Mail:  Jets see signs of hopeThis team is 1-3-1 so it isn’t all roses and sunshine just yet but they played a pretty good road game last night.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets snapshots – playing with fire in more ways than oneJets playing with a lead, Pavelec’s shootout record, Jets playing to capacity crowds, Mark Scheifele’s bank account, twitter followers of his think Buff should be moved to forward, Winnipeg is everybody’s 2nd favorite team and most interestingly could the Jets be in the running for an outdoor hockey game?

Globe and Mail:  Clock ticking as Jets near decision on ScheifeleThe Jets #1 pick sure picked a great time to score his first regular season goal.

Globe and Mail:  Jets fall short in TorontoNice that the Toronto crowd gave the video of the Jets return a standing ovation.  Very Canadian.
