Jets winger Gabriel Vilardi showing off his hand-eye coordination, batting this puck out of the air and into the back of the net. It turned out to be the game-winner for Canada, as he finished with 1G and 1A. With the win, Canada finished first in Group B.

Over at the World Championship, Jets defenceman Ville Heinola was picking corners He fired home a pair of goals for Finland.

Former Jets prospect Leon Gawanke (2017 5th) picked up a hat trick for Germany over at the World Championship. Was surprised he left for the DEL when he did as I thought he’d get a shot in San Jose. Played 207 regular season games and 10 playoff contests in antlers for Moose.

@thedavejamieson Congrats on this milestone Dave!

Milestone day in my almost 5 yr journey w/ head & neck cancer. Can finally say that I’m in remission. Eternally grateful to my family, friends & the medical stars who did so much to help me. 🙏❤️

“That’s two for number 22” Good to hear @DanRTSN with the call as Jets winger Nino Niederrieter scored a pair of goals today. Switzerland stayed perfect at the World Championship.

Jets winger Gabriel Vilardi also got on the board today at the World Championship as his familiar NHL linemate gets the primary assist (55 had a four point game). He ended the game with 1G 1A.

Jets centre Mark Scheifele had quite the game for Canada over at the World Championship. He scored three times including the OT GWG and added an assist on a Gabriel Vilardi goal. And all three were pretty, pretty, pretty nice goals.

Does this make me the ‘Turkey Whisperer’ of Winnipeg… or just a turkey?

Jets prospect Markus Loponen (2024 5th) is returning to North America for the 2026-27 campaign. He and HPK mutually agreed to terminate the final year of his two-year Liiga contract about five days ago. He’ll play NCAA hockey for Lake Superior State. illegalcurve.com/winnipeg-jets-…

It’s time of the year where guys start to sign overseas. Swedish mafia down one as Samuel Fagemo heads back home to Frölunda on a three-year deal. He won a championship with them in 2018-19. This one had been rumoured for a while and confirmed today. illegalcurve.com/former-manitob…

Check out the chat that @ICdave and @GooseOnTheMoose had with Tyrel Bauer after he won the Yanick Dupré Memorial Award as AHL Man of the Year. Really gives you a sense of his connection to the community in Manitoba. Watch: illegalcurve.com/tyrel-bauer-me…

Can’t believe it’s been 14 years since our boy Tap passed away. Still a huge part of our crew and hardly a day goes by that one of the boys doesn’t bring up a story, a memory or one of his legendary one-liners. Gone way too soon but never gone from us. illegalcurve.com/in-memory-of-d…

We spent 15 minutes with Moose Dman Tyrel Bauer this afternoon discussing his being named winner of the Yanick Dupré Memorial Award as AHL Man of the Year. Lots of good stuff in this chat as he reflects on giving back to the community in Manitoba. Watch: illegalcurve.com/tyrel-bauer-me…
