Hey all! Here is our feature running Monday through Friday that will bring you up to date on what's going on in the media pertaining to the Winnipeg Jets.
Here are your headlines for Friday, January 13, 2012:
Ed Tait's hyperbolic spin on Sharks v. Jets. [WFP]
Our SB Nation Pals over at Fear The Fin recap last night's game. [Fear The Fin]
Ken Wiebe sees the striking similarities between the Winnipeg Jets and Atlanta Thrashers. [Winnipeg Sun]
Gary Lawless is all sorts of wrong in stating that Claude Noel could be a finalist for coach of the year. Arctic Ice Hockey will give you more of our opinion next Monday. [WFP]
Adam Martini's three keys for Winnipeg to have a successful second half of the season: "1. Win on the road: Winnipeg may protect its house as well as anyone in the league, but the team is a mess away from the MTS Centre. The Jets have played the same number of home and away games (21) and are 14-6-1 on home ice and 6-11-4 on the road. So, what gives? Well, although the Jets are scoring almost as many goals home and away (59-52), they have given up 28 more goals on enemy ice." [Yahoo! Sports]
Dustin Byfuglien will be Winnipeg's lone representative at the 2012 NHL All-Star Game. Don't get too excited that "Big Buff" will be representing the Jets, it's just an All-Star Game. [NHL.com]
And finally, in a trade that truly helps neither team in the long run, the Montreal Canadians have traded Mike Cammalleri, Karri Ramo and a 2012 5th Round Draft Pick to the Calgary Flames for Rene Bourque, Patrick Holland and a 2013 2nd Round Draft Pick. [TSN]

Damn is Lawless bad
How can a defenseman win the hart but not the Norris?
Robert Cleave did a good job dismantling the Toews pic here
Robert Cleave did a masterful job
I read that yesterday, AIH will release mid-season awards Monday and I’m hard pressed not to take Backes for Selke with the info at hand. Inglorious Backes!!!

Between Gary Lawless and Paul Friesen, Winnipeg is in dire need of actual reporters.

You apparently aren't interested in commenting on the Colts, but instead just want to take shots at editors for how we manage our blog. Thus, you're now no longer welcome.

call-ups/send downs
well from what I heard (didn’t see anything on Twitter tho), Patrice Cormier got sent down today, so it would make sense they called Postma back up.

Might be make believe.
They have enough bodies, though they could use his point shot…

I don’t know TJ, the sleeper part of that Flames trade is Ramo and if him and Irving can cover off replacement level goaltending for the Flames, they can safely move Kipper next year as his NMC expires.
The return for Kipper would certainly be picks and young prospects which in the long run would certainly jump start the Flames.

Consider contributing to Wiki if you can. It has come a long way since its inception in quality and its founders have resisted attempts to commercialize it. Lets keep it alive with a few dollars each.
A good point Mitch
Ramo is the wild card in this deal. Holland seems like a bust (Flames prospects often are) and Cammalleri for Bourque is a wash. If Ramo can negociate a contract with Calgary and become an everyday NHLer, then Calgary gets value for the 2nd rounder they offloaded.
