This week’s YouTube show
1. Jets: The Winnipeg Jets and their fans are hoping Josh Morrissey’s injury isn’t serious. He hasn’t played since early in game one versus Czechia. Injuries are always a major risk going into these tournaments and can impact NHL teams heading into the stretch drive.
2. Jets: It seems Kyle Connor’s reputation doesn’t seem to travel very far outside of the perimeter.
And there it is. Just like at 4 Nations, #NHLJets forward Kyle Connor — who doesn’t have a single shot on net through 2 games — has played his way out of the U.S. lineup, at least for now. https://t.co/oVMtKY8wyH

Kyle Connor is out for team USA vs Germany. In comes Clayton Keller. Unfortunately he has been invisible. On the world stage and in the Stanley Cup playoffs. He has to get physical early to feel the play and get involved. #NHLJets

3. Team Canada Women: On Saturday, the Canadian women defeated Germany 5-1 with Marie-Philippe Poulin returning for the quarter-final match, and the team had no problem advancing to play Switzerland in the semi-final (this afternoon), and should move on to play the USA on Thursday for the Gold Medal.

5. Moose: The Manitoba Moose are currently sitting with a record of 23-17-3-0, good for third place in the AHL’s Central Division with a .570 winning percentage. The Moose are 9-5-1-0 since Christmas, but the disappointing thing is their young prospects seem to be playing much better, but not putting up very many points.
6. Jets: It is time to have another look at Patrik Laine?

7. Old adage time: This week’s old adage is “three sheets to the wind.”
It basically means DRUNK.
8. Olympic Hockey: I wonder if anyone else is getting “Four Nations” fatigue from the announcers and panel on TSN? If it were a drinking game, we’d all be “three sheets to the wind” halfway through the first period every time we heard Chris Cuthbert say “Four Nations.”
