Winnipeg to host outdoor NHL game at IGF

The wait for the Winnipeg Jets to host an NHL game outdoors is over, according to a report issued Saturday evening.

Sportsnet?s John Shannon first spilled the news over Twitter, announcing a game between the Jets and Edmonton Oilers to be played at Investors Group Field sometime in October of next season.

Outdoor game in Winnipeg will take place in late October. Looking like Oilers vs Jets.

The idea of hosting an outdoor game in the prairie province isn?t a new one; the NHL and the Jets had been in talks with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the city?s CFL team and residents of the stadium, about plans to have the game this season but were stalled for a number of reasons, including the fact Winnipeg was hosting the Grey Cup.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has not been shy about the idea, publicly admitting he felt the NHL owed Winnipeg an outdoor game, and Jets co-owner Mark Chipman hinted last month at a local sports dinner that an announcement of an outdoor game would be coming soon.

An official date has yet to be determined.

Wild fire Yeo, 1-11-2 in the last 14...

Something had to be done. The Wild have won all of three games since the new year and have accumulated just 9 points.

I think Fletcher should go with Yeo.

Apparently, he got absolutely smashed and partied like a maniac. And posted it on social media (it's been since removed).

The best part is seeing Sabres fanboys run to his defense and then proceed to take shots at Myers, Stafford, and the Jets.

Steven Stamkos isn't going anywhere.

At least not until July 1, anyway.

Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman issued a strong statement on Monday saying that his captain will not be traded in the next two weeks, squashing any chatter or rumour to the contrary.

"As February 29th approaches, I am stating today that Steven Stamkos will not be traded before the NHL's trade deadline," Yzerman said via press release. "I have said repeatedly that it is our hope to reach an agreement with Steven on a new contract at some point, and with 27 games remaining in the season, our entire organization, Steven included, wants to focus on making the playoffs. I will keep the negotiating process strictly between the involved parties and have no further comment on the state of those negotiations."

This should be interesting. Watch Stamkos walk on July 1. :D

Empty statement for Yzerman to make.  If the right deal comes along the Lightning will trade him. Letting him go as UFA in July?  Can't imagine it. Have too believe Stevie Y. is smarter than that  ???
