Introduction:
The Winnipeg Jets hit the road after a successful home stand with wins against Columbus Blue Jackets, Anaheim Ducks and a tough overtime loss San Jose Sharks. Trade speculation continues daily ranging from rumoured block buster deals to tweaks. Josh Morrissey was hit by a puck early in the Sharks game and did not return. Hopefully it’s not a long term injury for him.
The Habs have surprised some this season and are firmly in the playoff hunt thanks in part to stellar play from Max Domi and Jonathan Drouin who have been great, but also frustrating at times to those who follow the team closely. Old pal Joel Armia is playing like he did for the Jets – unspectacular but solid. GM Marc Bergevin took in the Ducks – Jets game in person on Saturday night. Perhaps advanced scouting? Maybe forecasting perhaps another potential deal between the two teams (Domi straight up for Petan! And we’ll throw in a bus. Or the vehicle of your choice).
