Mitchell Clinton

Stu Skinner gets his first win in a Winnipeg Jets uniform.

Let's head back to Little Caesars Arena now, and, uh, Paul Edmonds and Mitchell Clinton will let us know when Josh Morrissey's good to go.

But, uh, that, uh, sure seemed like a long 15 minutes to pay dirt, didn't it, fellas?

[laughs] Yeah, you know, when you say hang on, I mean, certainly I think, uh, a little bit of travel, afternoon game and, and it's a quick turnaround for the Winnipeg Jets, especially after skating yesterday.

First Detroit, then Pittsburgh, for tomorrow's 12 o'clock game.

You'll join us after that game on a little thing called the Illegal Curve postgame show, but this is currently the Illegal Curve hockey show and uh ezzy and i are gonna head to commercial break our final commercial break and while we do that you make sure to smash that like button while you hear from our sponsors welcome back to the illegal curve hockey show we've only got about 20 minutes left in today's show less actually as because we got a hard stop at 11 so we've got 18 minutes left to go in the show latest from hockey for all center courtesy of color analyst Mitchell Clinton, radio color analyst Mitchell Clinton, no Gabriel Velarde at Jets practice this morning.

So Cole Koepke is the right winger on the Bjork and Rosean line, which means as he Gabba is no more.

So Drew's line is no longer

Michael DiPietro is in the net taking shots from some of the leftovers that, uh, haven't left the ice yet, so that tells us Jeremy Swayman will be in net for the Boston Bruins.

And of course, we all expect, and as it looked like from the morning skate, as we got from our Kelly Moore, Mitchell Clinton, and, uh, Paul Edmonds, that, uh, it'll be Stuart Skinner making his Jets debut.

Ooh.

And it all gets started, and what a better way to kick off a Free for All Friday with, how do you feel the Jets will do this season?

The process is what's important right now, and if you're saying that the Winnipeg Jets defensively looked like they were a team that was connected, I would have to agree with you, Kelly.

Yeah, just further to Paul's comment about that kid line, Mitchell, I thought maybe that was their best 20 minutes, certainly for Colby Barlow.

You know, in the couple of cups of coffee that he's had in preseason play with the Winnipeg Jets, that might have been the best 20 minutes that he and his linemates have had.

Yeah, they just continued to get more and more comfortable, right? And it kind of felt that way as well in the first preseason game where there was a little bit of those nerves in the first period for everybody.

Yeah, Colby Barlow from downstairs.

Kelly?

I had those two nice setups for both Kevin He and Lucas Wallen, and then as you guys were mentioning, he had that chance from the slot, and I was thinking, man, Mitchell Clinton, the way he shoots the puck, that one's in.

He whistled it just wide, but just a...

Mitchell Clinton, Jets radio color commentator.

And hey, Mitch, good morning, first of all.

Thank you for being here.

Let's head back to Rogers Place now.

Paul Edmonds and Mitchell Clinton.

The score, I think, fellows, I agree with you 100%.

It becomes rather immaterial in the preseason.

All right.

Thanks, Carl.

Paul Edmonds, Mitchell Clinton from Rogers Place.

Let's bring in John Shannon, our hockey expert and insider.
