After yesterday’s day off, the full squad was back on the ice with about 2500 fans in the stand watching their open practice.

Andrew Ladd – Watching other games yesterday.  Does he watch video of other games?  Nice to have the fans in the stands today?  Does it make it more fun for the players having fans at the practice?  Crowd give energy after time off?  Frustration in watching results from other games?  Vibe in the room. 

Blake Wheeler  – Did he watch any NHL games yesterday?   Not getting any help right now.  Cannot be consumed by what other teams do.  What is the vibe in the room?  Battle tested going into final stretch.

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.
