Monday, Nov 7th Jets Papers

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets flying on empty. You hate to blame just two guys for a loss but if Little and Wheeler don’t pick it up soon, this team is going to continue to struggle to win games without being able to put pucks in the net.


Winnipeg Free Press: Stuart brings grit back to blueline. Stuart is your slow and steady wins the race type d-man. He doesn’t bring the flash but does those little things well throughout the game. Coach Noel loves what he brings to this team.

TSN: Long road trip catches up with Jets. It has been an unexpectedly successful road trip for this team. They left Winnipeg below .500 and even if they lose to Buffalo, will end the 7 games away from the friendly confines of the MTS Centre at 3-3-1.

Winnipeg Sun: Pavelec gives Jets chance. If there is any question as to how the Jets have been in every game this road trip it is thanks to #31. With the exception of the unusually high scoring affair in Philly, he has been lights out during this 7 game road trip.

Winnipeg Sun: Jets snapshots – some offence would be nice. Need to capitalize on PP, Biron has Jets number, Big Buff playing testy, missed penalty calls, at worst team is 3-3-1 on longest road trip of season, penalty trouble, Burmistrov’s physical game, and of course my favorite line of the article:

The GST at MSG? A Jets line playing at Madison Square Garden or paying the tax at a Chinese restaurant?

Illegal Curve: Jets on a Deadline. Game recap, video highlights and Three Star selection.


Jets opposition news – Buffalo Sabres:

Buffalo News: Stafford and Roy find the net for Sabres. Memo to Wheeler and Little, watch the highlights from this game. When team finally gets scoring for other sources they start to win.

Kyle looks at the Jets prospect list and picks out 3 Top Performers from this past weekend's action.

Barrie Colts – Ivan Telegin

The Colts had another tough weekend, going 1-2 with an OT loss. They did, however, come up with a big 5-2 win over Windsor last Thursday night, with Ivan Telegin leading the way with a goal and two helpers (all at even strength). The Colts overcame an early deficit to shoot down the Spitfires and improve their record to 8-6-0-1. Mark Scheifele added two assists in the game, part of a 4-point weekend for the Jets prospect.
