Summary

Jeff kicks off the show with Sportsnet’s Sean Reynolds as they discuss the Central-leading Winnipeg Jets. The pair get into Kyle Connor’s injury he sustained this weekend, the difference in the mentality for this year's Jets squad, and Connor Hellebyuck’s play so far this year. Next up, former NHL netminder Brian Boucher weighs in on the red-hot Philadelphia Flyers, what Sean Couturier’s return to health has meant for the team, what John Tortorella brings to a rebuilding club, and more (17:23). Later on, Rob Rossi of The Athletic joins the show to discuss Kyle Dubas’ press conference earlier today, what the future has in store for Sidney Crosby in Pittsburgh, and Jesse Puljujärvi's tryout with the Penguins (49:47).

This is the Jeff Merrick Show on the Sports Net Radio Network.

It's not that a suspension to Ryan's Fromm is going to make Calconer's knee any better and

0:20.1

he's undergoing an MRI, I believe in San Jose today, to determine the extent of the injuries, but nonetheless,

0:27.0

would have made the Winnipeg Jets feel a lot better.

0:30.0

Fris Trum had gotten something other than just a game objection for what happened

0:33.4

yesterday. Sean Reynolds has been outcovers the Winnipeg Jets for us on

0:36.8

sports nets. A big win last night Sean over the Anaheim Ducks, a gutsy

0:40.3

win by the Winnipeg Jets, but you know the headline story today is

0:44.2

caliconer and the knee how did you see that that play last night? Well like

0:50.4

let's make one thing clear Ryan Strom's not the kind of player that has a history or reputation for doing

Yeah, these kind of things, but I mean and it is not you know I it's not like I see a shark diving out to bite into the chum, right?

1:06.2

But I do see a lien. I do see him stick the knee out.

1:09.2

I do see it's one of these situations that happened fast on the ice and maybe he's just trying to get a piece of them.

supplemental discipline. I would have expected it in this situation here and again you

1:27.6

you nailed it. I mean there's a fan base here in the jets themselves that are probably very

1:32.3

upset that this didn't happen but you're right in the

1:34.3

end Kyle Connor is this kind of player that the jets kind of you don't have to worry about him he's going to show up and

1:40.1

he's going to score his goals he's probably going to lead your team in scoring if he's not he's going to

1:44.2

finish second in scoring on the team but the thing about him is he's been so
