Not a surprise but the talk after the skate was discussing the news of the seven-year contract extensions for Connor Hellebuyck and Mark Scheifele.

The Jets were set to take off this afternoon for Alberta although prior to we were set to hear from GM Kevin Cheveldayoff, coach Rick Bowness as well as Connor Hellebuyck and Mark Scheifele.

Reminder to join us live in person at Boston Pizza Taylor to watch the Jets/Flames game which starts at 9 PM CDT and on the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show which starts as soon as the final buzzer sounds.

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.
